Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear, avoid inhalation of smoke/fumes
Firefighting Instructions: Use water spray to cool exposed containers, approach from upwind side
Combustion Products: Hydrogen chloride gas, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, low amounts of phosgene possible at high temperatures
Personal Precautions: Eliminate ignition sources, use spark-proof tools, ventilate area, limit exposure to dust
Protective Equipment: Goggles, gloves, dust mask or respirator suitable for nuisance dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into drains, sewers, waterways; contain spillage with appropriate barriers
Spill Cleanup Methods: Sweep up and place in suitable containers; avoid dry sweeping of large amounts, consider vacuum filters specifically for dust recovery
Decontamination: Wash down surfaces with water after collection of spilled material, dispose of rinse water properly
Handling: Use local exhaust ventilation for dust, ground all equipment to prevent static discharge, avoid eating or smoking in work area
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands and arms thoroughly after handling; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing
Storage: Store MVAD-L resin in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and incompatible chemicals
Storage Conditions: Keep in original containers tightly closed, prohibit storage near strong acids, alkalis, or oxidizers
Incompatibilities: Avoid contact with strong acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents
Recommended Packaging Materials: Polyethylene-lined drums, moisture barrier bags
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits for finished resin; treat as nuisance dust (10 mg/m³ total dust, 5 mg/m³ respirable)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, dust collection systems, explosion-proof electrical equipment
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical goggles or safety glasses, gloves (nitrile or PVC), dust mask or respirator (N95 or better for dust), long sleeves
Respiratory Protection: If above control limits, use approved particulate respirator

Appearance: White or off-white free-flowing powder or granules
Odor: Mild plastic odor
pH: Not applicable (insoluble in water)
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Melting Range: Softening point: 110–135°C

Evaporation Rate: Not applicable
Viscosity: Not applicable
Particle Size: Varies by grade, refer to product specification
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Thermal Decomposition: Decomposition begins above 200°C; releases hydrochloric acid gas and other irritant fumes

Conditions to Avoid: Heat, open flames, sparks, direct sunlight, uncontrolled static discharge
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids or bases
Hazardous Polymerization: Does not occur
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride gas, carbon oxides, trace phosgene in extreme heat

Skin Irritation: Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause minor mechanical irritation
Eye Irritation: Dust may irritate eyes, causing redness, tearing, discomfort
Inhalation Effects: Breathing airborne dusts and combustion products produces nose and throat discomfort, coughing
Chronic Effects: No known risk of chronic illness with normal use; residual monomer exposures within safe limits
Sensitization: Not known to cause skin or respiratory sensitization
Carcinogenicity: Finished copolymer not classed as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Mutagenicity/Teratogenicity: No evidence from polymer, but handle with care to reduce dust exposure
Ecotoxicity: Product shows limited bioavailability due to low solubility; not expected to cause acute harm to aquatic organisms
Persistence and Degradability: Degrades slowly in the environment under sunlight (photo-oxidation) but otherwise persistent
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate due to molecular size and composition
Mobility in Soil: Material is not mobile in soil, tends to remain particulate
