See 40 CFR 372 for applicable reporting requirements.                 

 

 

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

 

PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: 

INHALATION:   Dusts may irritate the respiratory tract.

EYES:               Dusts may irritate eyes.  Injury to eye tissue will occur under conditions of prolonged contact. SKIN:                 Dusts may irritate and dry the skin.  Plasticizers may be absorbed through the skin. INGESTION:     Not likely route of exposure.

 

 

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID MEASURES:

INHALATION:   If affected, remove to fresh air.  If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.  If breathing has stopped, give  

                        CPR and seek medical attention immediately.

EYES:               Flush with large amounts of water, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally.  Seek medical attention if                irritation persists.

SKIN:                Thoroughly wash exposed area with soap and water.  If irritation or rash develops, seek medical attention.                      Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. INGESTION:   Give plenty of water.  Consult with physician.

 

 

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

             

FLASH POINT:                     Not Applicable. Material decomposes >410deg F.

             

FLAMMABLE LIMITS:           L.E.L - Not Applicable    U.E.L. - Not Applicable

             

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:      Carbon Dioxide, Foam, Dry Chemical

             

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING         Fire fighting personnel should wear NIOSH approved self contained PROCEDURE AND       breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective clothing.   Use water spray PERSONAL PROTECTION: to control heat.

             

UNUSUAL FIRE AND            Decomposition by burning in open flame produces toxic Hydrogen

EXPLOSION HAZARDS:       Chloride gas (HCl), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and residual monomers (See Section V - Health Hazard Data). Oxides of barium, and zinc upon ignition. If supplied in powder form, build-up of dust concentration may lead to dust explosion.

 

 

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

 

WORKPLACE:  Do not flush to sewer. Remove all possible ignition sources and place in   waste disposal container. Disposal must be in accordance with federal,    state and local regulations. Solid, fused forms (film, slabs, plugs) are not            RCRA hazardous wastes. Bales, powder, and reground material should      be analyzed for TCLP (toxicity characteristic leaching procedure) toxicity.

             

SOIL:    Scoop up material and any contaminated soil and place in dry recovery    drums. Dispose of as laws and regulations allow.

             

WATER RELEASE: Notify appropriate governing agency.

             

AIR RELEASE:  Avoid raising dust clouds. Dust explosion can occur under conditions of   high dust concentration in the presence of any ignition source.

             

SHIPPING:               Not D.O.T. regulated.

 

 

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

 

Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area with an automatic sprinkler system.  Wash hands after handling.  Wear proper personal protective equipment.

 

8. EXPOSURE CONTROL - PERSONAL PROTECTION

 

VENTILATION:

Use sufficient local ventilation to control dusts and thermal processing

 

vapors.

 

 

RESPIRATORY

NIOSH approved respirator must be worn if PEL or TLV levels are

PROTECTION:

exceeded for dusts, vapors, or mists. See OSHA 1910.134 for respiratory

 

program requirements.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

 

PVC materials have a very low acute toxicity. PVC materials have an acute LD50 in rats of greater than 10 grams per kilogram of body weight. The product, as with all PVC materials, may contain <5 ppm of residual vinyl chloride monomer which has been identified as a human carcinogen. Industrial hygiene studies have shown that under normal and expected conditions of use of PVC materials, exposures are well below applicable limits specified in 29 CFR 1910.1017. See Section 15. 

 

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

 

Detailed studies have not been conducted concerning the environmental fate of the product.  It is, however, not expected to present a hazard to aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna.
