Section
II: Hazardous Ingredients
**
Flexible vinyl pellet compounds are mixtures of PVC resins with various
functional additives. Additives are
bound up in the manufacturing process and are not expected to create any hazard
when handled or processed in accordance with good manufacturing and industrial
hygiene practices.
Trace
amounts of hydrogen chloride may be generated from the PVC compound if
overheated. Volatiles from stabilizers,
plasticizers, lubricants, etc. which may be generated in trace amounts may
prove sensitive to some individuals.
Section III: Physical Data
Solubility
in water - Very Slight
Specific
Gravity - 1.15 to 1.70 depending on
formulation
Appearance
& Odor - Pigmented or unpigmented granules, odorless or with a
bland odor
Other - Characteristics
such as vapor pressure, vapor density, boiling point & evaporation rate are
not applicable.
Section
IV: Fire and Explosion Hazard
Data
** Flash Ignition and Self
Ignition temperatures vary somewhat with the composition but should be no lower
than the following:
Flash ignition temperature - 300º
C
Self Ignition Temperature - 410º
C
** Vinyl compounds will not support
combustion but can be forced to burn by continuous application of intense heat.
** Extinguishing Media
Water is most effective. ABC dry
chemical, AFFF and protein type air foams are also effective. Belden vinyl
compounds are “ordinary combustibles” (NFPA Class A).
** Special Fire Fighting Procedure
Positive pressure self contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) is suggested during and immediately after a fire.
** Combustion Products
When forced to burn, primary combustion
gases will be hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and aliphatic
olefins. Trace amounts of benzene and
aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons may be present.
** Hydrogen Chloride has a corrosive
effect on many metals and appropriate measure should be taken where exposure
occurs.
Section V: Health
Hazard Data
Threshold limit value - None
established
Effects of overexposure - None at room temperature
At processing temperatures vinyl
compounds may emit fumes and vapors that are irritating to the respiratory
tract, eyes or skin of some sensitive individuals.
** Emergency and First Aid Procedure
If irritation from exposure to
processing fumes persists, remove affected individual, call a physician and
provide suitable protection before re-entry.
Section VI: Reactivity
Stability - Stable
Hazardous Polymerization - Will not occur
Hazardous
decomposition products - Hydrogen
chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, aliphatic olefins - Trace amounts of
benzene and aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Incompatibility
- Avoid
contact with acetal, acetal copolymers and amines during processing
Section
VII: Spill or Leak
** Vacuum or sweep into a closed
container for reuse or disposal. Dispose of in a licensed landfill or by
incineration, If incinerated be aware that hydrogen chloride is generated.
Section VIII: Special Protection Information
Ventilation
- Provide
effective ventilation to draw fumes away from workers to prevent routine
inhalation
Respiratory
Protection - Not normally required
Protective
Equipment - Gloves for handling hot
materials and safety glasses are recommended for all industrial work places.
Section
IX: Special Precautions
Normal Melt Processing - Provide adequate ventilation to
avoid build up of fumes
Clean
up - Avoid
conditions that will result in significant decomposition caused by excessive
heat history
** Compound at of above
normal processing temperatures should not be allowed to accumulate in thick
masses, or it will begin to thermally decompose and to swell due to internal
gassing. Molten waste should be collected
as strands or flattened and quenched in cold water. Decomposing metal should be removed to a well ventilated area,
preferable outdoors.
Section X: Transportation
** Vinyl compounds are not
classified as hazardous by the US Dept. of Transportation under the Title 49 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, 1983 edition.

SECTION 3 – HEALTH HAZARDS
Routes of Exposure: Eye contact, Skin contact, Ingestion, Inhalation
Exposure Standards: Formaldehyde concentrations in the workplace air may exceed the TLV under
certain conditions of use. See Section 2 for exposure standards on ingredients.
Maintain air contaminant concentrations in the workplace at the lowest feasible
level. Minor components will migrate into the container headspace. Levels in
excess of the TLV's or PEL's can accumulate in non-vented container
headspace. Open drums in a well ventilated space. The principal volatile
component is water. Minor volatile components are identified in Section 2
“Ingredients”.
