HAZARDOUS INGREDIENT(S) %W/W CAS No. EC No. EC Classification

None.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Inhalation Immediately remove the victim from exposure. Keep patient at rest and give
oxygen if breathing difficult. If symptoms develop, obtain medical attention.
4.2 Skin Contact After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water In
case of burns from hot material immediately cool affected skin as long as
possible with cold water.
Obtain medical attention.
4.3 Eye Contact Powder may scratch eye surface and cause mechanical irritation. Flush eyes
with water and do not rub. If symptoms persist, obtain medical attention.
4.4 Ingestion Provided the patient is conscious, wash out mouth with water and give 200-300
ml (half a pint) of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting. If symptoms develop,
obtain medical attention.
4.5 Further Medical Treatment Unlikely to be required but if necessary treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing Media As appropriate for surrounding fire. Extinguish preferably with foam, water or dry
chemical.
5.2 Unsuitable Extinguishing Media CO2 may be unsuitable due to lack of cooling capacity.
5.3 Fire Fighting Protective A self contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing should be
Equipment worn in fire conditions.
5.4 Hazardous Decomposition Combustion or thermal decomposition will evolve toxic and irritant vapours.
Product(s) Combustion products may include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and

hydrochloric acid vapors.

5.5 Special Exposure Hazards Dust explosion may occur if not attended properly. Promptly isolate the scene by
removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident is there is a fire. No action
shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
5.6 Other Can melt and burn in a fire. Molten material tends to flow or drip and will
propagate fire.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Personal Precautions Caution - spillages may be slippery. Ensure suitable personal protection (including
respiratory protection) during removal of spillages. Dust clouds are sensitive to
ignition by electrostatic discharge.
6.2 Environmental Exposure Avoid release to the environment. Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or
Controls watercourses.
6.3 Methods for cleaning up Sweep up and shovel into waste drums or plastic bags.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 HANDLING Control dust formation. Do not eat, drink or smoke at the work place. Wash
face and hands before eating, drinking or smoking. Will accumulate static
charges that may cause an electric spark (ignition source). Take
precautionary measures against static discharges.
7.2 STORAGE Keep only in the original container. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a
cool, well ventilated place. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. This
product should be kept away from naked flames and other sources of
ignition
Storage Temperature: Ambient.
Storage Life: Stable at ambient temperature.
Specific use: Industrial use only.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Provide adequate ventilation when using the material and follow the principles of good occupational hygiene to control
personal exposures.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
SUBSTANCE. CAS No. LTEL (8 hr LTEL (8 hr STEL STEL Note:
TWA ppm) TWA mg/m³) (ppm) (mg/m³)
Polyvinyl Chloride – inhalable dust 9002-86-2 10
Polyvinyl Chloride - Respirable dust 4

8.1 Respirators No special requirements. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate

local extraction if dusts, fumes or vapours are likely to be evolved. Where
engineering controls are not fitted or inadequate wear suitable respiratory
protective equipment.
8.2 Eye Protection Safety spectacles/goggles/full face shield.

8.3 Gloves Wear suitable gloves if prolonged skin contact is likely. When dealing with
heated material: Insulating gloves EN 407 (heat).

8.4 Other Wear suitable protective clothing. Contaminated clothing should be thoroughly
cleaned.

8.5 Environmental Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to
precautions ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection
legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications
to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable
levels.
