Chemical Name: Vinyl Chloride-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer
CAS Number: 9002-86-2 / 9003-20-7 (copolymer blend)
Percent (wt.%): 99.5 – 100
Impurities: Residual monomers <0.1% (vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate)
Other Additives: May contain trace stabilizers (calcium-zinc based, as required for manufacturing quality)
Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air area. Encourage breathing without obstruction. Seek medical attention if coughing, chest tightness, or irritation continues.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present. Seek medical support for persistent irritation.
Skin Contact: Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. If redness or itching develops, consult physician.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly; do not induce vomiting. Drink water if possible. Medical advice is recommended if large amounts are swallowed or symptoms appear.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Foam, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water Spray (for cooling)
Unsuitable Media: High pressure water jet may disperse product dust clouds, increasing fire risk.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and trace phosgene gas upon decomposition
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need full-body protection and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Special Procedures: Cool containers with water spray; prevent runoff from entering drains and waterways.
Personal Precautions: Restrict access to area; avoid inhaling dusty air. Wear gloves, goggles, and dust mask or respirator.
Spill Response: Sweep up using non-sparking tools; avoid creating airborne dust. Collect in containers for re-use or safe disposal.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to drains and surface water. Dispose impacted soil and product under local regulations.
Decontamination: Wash spill site thoroughly after cleanup.
Handling: Use proper ventilation to avoid airborne dust. Wear protective gloves and eye protection. Keep away from heat, open flames, and reactive chemicals.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed original packaging in a cool, dry, and ventilated space. Avoid water and moisture exposure. Store apart from oxidizers and acids.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents.
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands before breaks and at end of user shift. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for the polymer. Monitor for residual vinyl chloride (TLV: 1 ppm, OSHA PEL: 1 ppm) and vinyl acetate (TLV: 10 ppm).
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation where product dust is generated.
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses/goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, PVC), dust mask (N95 or higher), long sleeves. For bulk processing, use a certified respirator.
Additional Measures: Use eye wash stations and safety showers near work area.
Appearance: White or off-white free-flowing powder or granular solid
Odor: Very faint plastic or vinegar-like odor
pH: Not applicable (insoluble in water)
Melting/Softening Point: 75–105°C (softens)
Boiling Point: Not available (decomposes before boiling)
Flash Point: > 400°C (estimated for decomposing polymer)
Auto-Ignition Temperature: > 485°C
Solubility: Practically insoluble in water; soluble in strong polar organic solvents
Density: 1.2–1.5 g/cm³
Vapor Pressure: None at room temperature
Explosive Properties: Dust can form explosive mixtures in air at high concentrations
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not determined
Chemical Stability: Stable at ambient conditions and during normal handling.
Reactivity: Not reactive under standard use and storage.
Conditions to Avoid: High temperatures, sparks, open flames.
Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidizers, acids, ammonium compounds.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, possible trace phosgene if burned.
Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization under standard conditions.
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity expected by skin or inhalation due to high molecular weight; high dust concentrations may irritate.
Skin Contact: May produce mild irritation or redness after prolonged exposure.
Eye Contact: Dust may cause discomfort, tearing, or redness.
Chronic Effects: Repeated overexposure to dust can affect the respiratory system.
Carcinogenicity: Raw vinyl chloride is a known carcinogen, but bound monomers present in this copolymer have very low, tightly regulated concentrations.
Genotoxicity: Not expected
Reproductive Toxicity: Not expected
Sensitization: No evidence in humans or animals under intended use
Ecotoxicity: Not acutely toxic to aquatic organisms. Large quantities, if released, may cause physical harm to aquatic life.
Persistence and Degradability: Polymer is persistent in environment and degrades very slowly.
Bioaccumulative Potential: No measurable bioaccumulation expected due to molecular size.
Mobility in Soil: Low; product remains in solid state and settles from water
Other Hazards: No known significant effects on ozone layer or greenhouse gas formation
Product Waste: Dispose by landfilling or burning in approved incineration facilities in line with local regulations.
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse thoroughly; dispose according to local waste requirements.
Recycling: Reuse, recovery, or recycling is possible for clean, uncontaminated product.
Special Precautions: Do not release to sewers, waterways, or open land.
UN Number: Not regulated
Proper Shipping Name: Not regulated as dangerous goods
Transport Hazard Class: Not assigned
Packing Group: Not applicable
