Firefighter Protection: Use self-contained breathing apparatus, full body protective clothing
Special Procedures: Move containers from area if safe, cool with water spray
Personal Precautions: Wear dust mask, goggles, gloves, avoid inhaling dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface water, soil
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled powder by vacuuming or sweeping using spark-proof equipment, minimize dust production; dispose in approved containers
Safe Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid dust formation, handle away from ignition sources, ground all equipment
Storage Conditions: Keep in cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, acids), store in tightly closed containers
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizing agents, acids
Advice on Bulk Storage: Implement effective local exhaust ventilation
Occupational Exposure Limit: Vinyl chloride monomer TLV 1 ppm (ACGIH); dust exposure limit 10 mg/m³ (inhalable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Adequate ventilation, local exhaust system at points of dust generation
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses with side shields, gloves resistant to chemicals, protective clothing, dust mask or particulate respirator in case of powder handling
Hygiene Measures: Prohibit eating, drinking, or smoking while handling product, wash hands before breaks and after handling
Appearance: White to off-white powder or granular solid
Odor: Faint, characteristic plastic odor
pH: Not applicable (insoluble in water)
Melting Point: Softening point around 140°C to 180°C
Boiling Point: Decomposition before boiling
Density: 1.35 – 1.45 g/cm³
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in certain organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Negligible
Flash Point: Not applicable (solid), decomposition possible above 200°C
Explosion Properties: Dust may form explosive mixtures with air
Decomposition Temperature: Begins at 200°C, gives off hazardous gases
Chemical Stability: Stable at room temperature under recommended storage
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sparks, open flame, direct sunlight
Reactivity: Non-reactive under standard storage; decomposes on strong heating
Hazardous Decomposition: Hydrogen chloride, phosgene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity from main polymer; may cause irritation due to dust
Chronic Toxicity: Chronic exposure to vinyl chloride monomer (trace) linked to liver effects
Irritation: Dust causes eye, skin, and respiratory irritation
Carcinogenicity: IARC classifies vinyl chloride as a Group 1 carcinogen, but resin contains only trace monomer levels
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin, eye contact
Symptoms: Irritation, coughing, sneezing, redness, prolonged exposure in poorly ventilated spaces could aggravate respiratory symptoms
Ecotoxicity: Product not regarded as hazardous to the environment in solid form
Persistence/Degradability: Polymer is resistant to biodegradation, persists in the environment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low, due to high molecular weight
Mobility in Soil: Immobile as a solid polymer; particles can migrate if spilled in large quantities
Aquatic Toxicity: No acute toxicity expected, but resin particles could cause physical effects on aquatic life if released in large quantities
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose as non-hazardous industrial waste per local regulations, do not discharge into drains or waterways
Packaging Disposal: Clean, empty packaging may be recycled or landfilled according to local law; contaminated packaging should be handled as solid waste
Precautions: Avoid generation of dust during collection and transport; incineration may release hazardous gases if performed without proper air pollution controls
UN Number: Not classified as a hazardous material for transport
Proper Shipping Name: Vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin
