WARNING

Physical Appearance: Off-white, or colored solid pellets, or powder

Emergency Overview

May contain less than 1.0-ppm residual vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) (CAS# 75-01-4), a known human carcinogen. Worker or user

exposure will not exceed OSHA (29 CFR 1910.1017) regulated quantities under normal conditions. Under abnormal conditions of

heat degradation, hydrogen chloride (HCl) (CAS# 7641-01-0) can be released. Under abnormal heat PVC can begin to degrade and

may actually burn with an autocatalytic effect.

Immediate Concerns: Slipping hazard if spilled on hard smooth surface. This product as shipped is not classified as a combustible

dust; however, a combustible concentration of dust may occur if fines are suspended in air. At process temperatures irritating fumes

may be produced. Molten polymer may cause thermal burns. To minimize exposure, adequate room and ventilation should be

maintained. The material can accumulate static charges which could be a source of ignition.

Potential Health Effects-Primary Routes of Entry:

Skin:

May cause mechanical irritation. Contact with heated material can cause thermal burns.

Inhalation:

Irritating gases or fumes may be given off during processing or thermal decomposition resulting in soreness in the nose and throat and

coughing. May aggravate respiratory disorders.

Eye:

Dust may cause mechanical irritation. Process vapors may irritate eyes.

All formula components are fully encapsulated in polymer, and thus do not necessarily reflect the hazards of the dry chemicals. Under normal conditions of use, the occupational hazards associated with the material are expected to be minimal.
