SDS-Non-Phthalate FlexPVC.docx 3 | P a g e
Flash Point: >600˚F (315˚C)
Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: As with any fire, combustion byproducts and heat will be generated. Firefighters should be equipped with a self-
contained breathing apparatus and full turnout gear when fighting any fire. Do not attempt to fight any fire unless you have been trained to do so.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: PVC compounds evolve hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide and other gases when burned. Exposure to
combustion gases may be fatal.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Remove unnecessary people from the release area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during cleanup. Spills or releases of this
material do not require reporting to the National Response Center. If the material is not contaminated, recover in a manner free of foreign particles or
substances for re-use. If the material is contaminated, scoop, sweep, or vacuum into suitable container for disposal, taking care to avoid the
generation of dust.
Section 7 - Handling & Storage
Stability: Stable Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur Incompatibility: Avoid contact with strong acids or oxidizing agents.
Storage in a cool, dry location in closed containers away from environmental extremes is recommended. Store away from food, sparks, and open
flame. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Take measures to avoid static charge accumulation. Heat only in areas of adequate ventilation.
Clean exhaust and ventilating equipment regularly. This product may react with strong oxidizing agents or strong acids and should not be stored near
such materials. As with any material meant for industrial use only, good industrial practices and procedures should be followed at all times when
handling, storing, or processing this material.
Section 8 - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Please refer to the applicable American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
Ventilation: It is recommended to exhaust processing fumes from the work area. If fume ventilation is used, fume collection ductwork should be
regularly cleaned to remove oily deposits which are very flammable and/or corrosive and irritating to skin or eyes. If dust is generated, dust
collection ventilation may be necessary to maintain airborne concentrations below all applicable exposure limits (see Section II).
Respiratory Protection: When dust is present, A NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator (approved for TC-21C dusts) should be used. If fumes are
present, use a respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridges. If combustion vapors are present, a full-face self-contained breathing apparatus
should be used. Please reference OSHA standard 29 C.F.R. 1910.134 for all procedures necessary if respirators are issued to any employee(s).
Other Protective Equipment: ANSI approved safety glasses or goggles, protective gloves, work uniforms, and/or disposable coveralls are
recommended. Additionally, each employee working with these materials should have access to an eye wash and complete first aid kit.
