CAS Number: 9002-86-2 (for vinyl chloride base), 25154-85-2 (isobutyl ether group)
Recommended Use: Industrial and commercial plastics, adhesives, coatings
Manufacturer Contact: Name, street address, phone number, emergency phone for 24-hour incidents; email for material questions
GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous under GHS for finished polymer
Label Elements: Avoid dust formation, use with adequate ventilation, handle with gloves and eye protection
Hazard Statements: Shavings and dust can cause respiratory and skin irritation; molten resin may burn skin on contact
Precautionary Statements: Prevent inhalation of dust, keep away from open flames, store in a dry place
Other Hazards: Combustible in powder or dust form; process vapors can cause mild headaches, nausea with prolonged exposure
Main Components:
Vinyl chloride monomer (in polymerized form): 80–90%
Vinyl isobutyl ether: 10–20%
Additives (stabilizers, processing aids): 1–5%
Impurities: Trace amounts of unreacted monomer, residue moisture less than 1%
Note: Finished resin contains negligible levels of free vinyl chloride; no single ingredient present in excess of regulatory limits
Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air, monitor for delayed symptoms such as coughing or throat irritation, seek medical attention if discomfort persists
Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap and running water, remove contaminated clothing, for burns from molten material seek medical help immediately
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently for fifteen minutes under flowing water, hold eyelids open, remove contact lenses, get prompt medical advice if irritation remains
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth, get medical support; material is considered low hazard by mouth in solid form
Notes for Doctors: Treat symptomatically based on patient’s condition
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, regular foam, water spray for larger fires
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jets on burning dust clouds
Hazards from Fire: Generates hazardous gases (hydrogen chloride, vapors of vinyl chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide); dense black smoke typical
Protective Equipment: Full turnout gear with self-contained breathing apparatus
Advice for Firefighters: Approach fire upwind, control runoff to prevent environmental contamination, evacuate unnecessary personnel
Personal Precautions: Remove ignition sources, wear respirator when handling dust, use gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Contain spills, prevent entry into drains or watercourses
Clean-Up Methods: Use non-sparking tools for collection, sweep or shovel up material, place in closed container for disposal or recovery
Decontamination: Avoid dry sweeping if dust becomes airborne, wash area with water after collection
Handling: Avoid generating dust, ensure area is ventilated, keep away from heat or open flames, use only with proper PPE, don’t smoke near material
Storage: Store in cool, dry, ventilated location, keep container tightly closed, avoid exposure to sunlight and moisture, separate from strong oxidizers, acids, and food
Incompatible Materials: Do not store near acid chlorides, strong acids, or oxidizers
Other: Store in original packaging with labels visible
Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL for vinyl chloride monomer: 1 ppm TWA; as a copolymer, exposure expected to be negligible in normal use
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation to minimize airborne dust, enclosures at feed points
Personal Protection: Safety glasses or goggles, impervious gloves, dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator if dust exceeds limits, protective clothing for molten resin
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after use, do not eat, drink, or smoke near material
Physical State: Solid resin beads or powder
Color: Off-white to pale yellow
Odor: Mild plastic odor
pH: Not applicable
Melting Point: 140–165°C
Boiling Point: Decomposes before boiling
Flash Point: >290°C (estimated for decomposition)
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at 25°C
Density: 1.26–1.38 g/cm³
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in ketones, cyclohexanone
Evaporation Rate: Not applicable
Upper/Lower Flammability: Dust form can be explosive above 35 g/m³
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal industrial conditions up to 120°C
Reactivity: Not reactive in solid form, unstable if overheated past decomposition temperature
Hazardous Decomposition: Hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, small amounts of phosgene can form if resin burns
Polymerization: Product will not undergo hazardous polymerization
Incompatible Materials: Concentrated acids, alkali metals, strong oxidizers, ammonia
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity by oral, dermal, or inhalation routes; processed form considered safe at workplace limits
Skin Contact: May cause mild irritation, thermal burns possible from molten materials
Eye Contact: Can cause mechanical irritation
Respiratory Effects: Nuisance dust may aggravate pre-existing respiratory conditions
Chronic Effects: No known reports of chronic exposure issues for humans working with cured polymer; vinyl chloride monomer is a known carcinogen but present at trace or undetectable levels in finished resin
Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity: The copolymer itself is not classified as a carcinogen
Ecotoxicity: Not expected to be toxic to aquatic organisms due to stability and insolubility
Persistence/Degradability: Does not biodegrade readily, stable in typical environments
Bioaccumulation: Polymer resins not known to bioaccumulate
Mobility in Soil: Sinks to sediment, not mobile in water or soil
Other Adverse Effects: Large spills may contribute to microplastic pollution
Waste Management: Collect in tightly closed containers
Disposal Method: Use landfill or controlled incineration according to local environmental regulations
Prohibited Disposal: Do not dispose in uncontrolled fires, drains, or public sewers
Other: Do not reuse containers; contaminated packaging requires same precautions as unused resin
UN Number: Not regulated as a hazardous substance for transport
Proper Shipping Name: Not applicable
Hazard Class: Not classified
Packing Group: Not assigned
Transport Hazards: Keep away from sources of ignition or strong oxidizers during transport
Special Precautions: Ensure packaging prevents dust escape; follow local and international shipping laws
US Regulations: Vinyl chloride listed under CERCLA and SARA Title III due to monomer hazards; finished copolymer not listed as hazardous waste
EU Regulations: Polymer exempt from REACH registration, complies with EC No 1907/2006 standards
International: Not listed on IARC, NTP, or ACGIH for finished copolymer
Other: Observe all country, federal, state and local regulations relevant to use, handling and disposal
