Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; provide artificial respiration if not breathing; seek medical help for difficulty breathing
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash thoroughly with soap and water; if irritation or redness occurs, seek medical advice
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes, lifting eyelids to remove particles; seek medical attention if discomfort continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting; seek medical attention for large ingestion or if symptoms develop
Note to Physician: Exposure mainly irritant; treat symptomatically
Suitable Extinguishing Agents: Water spray, dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable Agents: Do not use direct water jet on molten resin
Hazards from Combustion: Hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, small amounts of other toxic gases
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear including self-contained breathing apparatus
Firefighting Instructions: Cool surrounding containers; approach fire from upwind to avoid inhaling fumes; control contaminated run-off if possible
Personal Precautions: Wear goggles, gloves, and suitable protective clothing; avoid generation of dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, watercourses, or soil
Clean-up Methods: Sweep or vacuum spilled material, using dust suppressant if needed; place in labeled, sealed containers for disposal
Decontamination: Wash area with water and detergent after material removal
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation; avoid breathing dust and fumes; do not handle near open flames; wash hands after handling
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas; keep away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers, acids, and bases
Storage Incompatibilities: Strong oxidants, alkalis, acids
Precautions: Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, moisture, and ignition points
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation at points of dust or fume generation
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved respirators if exposure limits are exceeded
Eye Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles
Hand Protection: Wear impervious gloves
Skin and Body Protection: Use coveralls or protective clothing to minimize skin contact
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling; do not eat, drink or smoke while working with this material
Exposure Limits: Vinyl Chloride—OSHA PEL: 1 ppm (2.6 mg/m3); specific resin no set limit but control dust as nuisance particulate
Appearance: White to off-white powder, granules, or pellets
Odor: Slight characteristic odor
pH: Not available (non-aqueous)
Melting Point: 110–180°C depending on grade
Boiling Point: Not applicable (polymer)
Flash Point: Not readily flammable as a solid
Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in some ketones, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons
Density: 1.2–1.4 g/cm3
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Evaporation Rate: Not applicable
Partition Coefficient: Not available
Vapor Density: Not applicable
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged heat, direct flames, moisture
Materials to Avoid: Powerful oxidizers, strong acids and bases, amines
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride gas, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, organochlorine compounds
Hazardous Reactions: Will not polymerize further; no dangerous reactions identified under normal conditions
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: Resin dust may irritate airways and skin; inhaling decomposition fumes poses higher risk
Chronic Toxicity: No evidence of carcinogenicity from base copolymer; vinyl chloride monomer recognized as carcinogenic, but present below occupational limits in final product
Sensitization: No reports of allergic reactions from industrial use
Mutagenicity: No available evidence for base resin
Further Information: Handling decomposing resin poses higher hazard from breakdown products
Ecotoxicity: Material residue, granules, or dust may persist in soil and water; small particles could be harmful to aquatic life
Persistence and Degradability: Not biodegradable; slow physical and chemical degradation in environment
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not bioaccumulative as polymer
Mobility in Soil: Low mobility due to insolubility in water
Other Effects: Inappropriate disposal can increase litter and microplastic pollution
Disposal Method: Dispose as non-hazardous industrial waste unless contaminated; incinerate in approved facility or landfill in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations
Precautions: Prevent material from entering waterways during disposal
Disposal of Packaging: Rinse containers if practical; recycle or landfill per requirements
Special Instructions: Avoid burning large quantities outside licensed sites, as burning releases toxic gases
UN Number: Not regulated under international transport codes
Transport Hazard Class: Not classified
Packing Group: Not classified
Proper Shipping Name: Not regulated
Special Precautions: Avoid damage to containers; keep away from heat and direct sunlight during transit
Additional Information: Not a marine pollutant in supplied form; spillage should be reported and contained in transit
Inventory Status: Product or ingredients appear on TSCA, EINECS, and other major chemical inventories
Labeling Requirements: Follow workplace labeling for non-hazardous substances
Regulatory Restrictions: Use subject to controls on vinyl chloride monomer; compliance with OSHA, REACH, and local safety laws required
