Other Information
May form combustible dust concentrations in air This product contains vinyl chloride monomer at concentration less than 200 ppb.
This level does not constitute a hazard in the product as sold; however under conditions of use, including heating and poor
ventilation, the vinyl chloride concentrations could build up to levels which require persons using or handling the product to follow
the requirements defined in the OSHA Vinyl chloride standard (29 CFR 1910.1017).

Ingestion
Not an expected route of exposure. If swallowed, call a poison control center or physician
immediately.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms
May cause allergic skin reaction.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Note to physicians
Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Small Fire
Dry chemical or CO2.
Large Fire
Water spray or fog. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Remove all sources of
ignition. Keep away from heat.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Dusts or fumes may form explosive mixtures in air.
Hazardous combustion productsCarbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Hydrogen chloride. Vinyl chloride. various
polymer compounds.
Explosion data
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact Not impact sensitive.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge Fine dust dispersed in air, in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition
source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions
Wear protective gloves/protective clothing and eye/face protection.
Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for containment
Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Prevent dust cloud.
Methods for cleaning up
Avoid creating dust. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect material and place it into
loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal. Sweep-up or vacuum spilled solid (an
explosion-proof vacuum should be used).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Avoid creating dust. Ensure adequate
ventilation, especially in confined areas. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage Conditions
Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Keep in properly labeled containers.
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Protect from direct sunlight.
Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric
motors and static electricity).
Incompatible materials
Strong oxidizing agents.

Appropriate engineering controls
Engineering Controls
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Eyewash stations. Showers.
Mechanical ventilation should be grounded due to potential accumulation of dusts.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin and body protection
Wear protective gloves and protective clothing. (Tyvek suit, rubber apron).
Respiratory protection
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved
respiratory protection should be worn. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be
required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be
provided in accordance with current local regulations.
General Hygiene Considerations
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
