Do not induce vomiting. Obtain immediate medical attention if ill effectsoccur.4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayedMay cause physical abrasion in contact with skin and eyes. High concentrations of dust may be irritant to therespiratory tract. Repeated exposure by inhalation may produce adverse effects on the lungs.4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Unlikely to be required but ifnecessary treat symptomatically. Low acute toxicity under normal conditions of handling and use.Section 5: Fire and Explosion DataExtinguishing mediaSuitable Extinguishing media As appropriate for surrounding fire.Unsuitable extinguishing media None.Special hazards arising from the substance or mixtureCombustible but not readily ignited under normal circumstances/conditions. LimitedRisk of dust explosion when mixed with air. Combustion or thermal decompositionwill evolve toxic and irritant vapors. Hydrogen chloride, Carbon monoxide, Carbondioxide, fire sootAdvice for firefightersA self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn in fire conditions.Section 6: Accidental Release Measures6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Provide adequate ventilation. Ensuresuitable personal protection during removal of spillages. Protect against dust.6.2 Environmental precautionsAvoid release to the environment. Contain spillages. Transfer to a lidded container for disposal or recovery.6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Spillages should be collected by suction or moistenedwith water and swept / shovelled up into waste drums or plastic bags.6.4 Additional InformationSpillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be alerted.Prepared By; MASReviewed By: SRAApproved By: ARK

Avoid dust generation. Avoid inhalation of high concentrations of dusts. Provideadequate ventilation where operational procedures demand it. Avoid build-up of dusts especially in the vicinity ofelectrical equipment and switchgear. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. EnsureAdequate earthling. During hot processing operations: Avoid inhalation of high concentrations of vapors.7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Keep only in original container at temperaturesnot exceeding 40 Deg C. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Fixed storageVessels should be adequately earthed. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.Storage temperature at temperatures not exceeding ( C): 40 C.Storage life Stable under normal conditions.

Ensurecompliance with applicable exposure limits.PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:Eye Protection: Use good hygiene practices when handling this material. Safety glasses with side-shields orgoggles are recommended when there is a potential for eye contact.Skin and Body Protection: As a good hygiene practice, wear protective clothing to minimize skin contact suchas standard industrial work clothes, coveralls, safety footwear.Hand Protection: As a good hygiene practice, wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Consult a glove supplierfor assistance in selecting an appropriate chemical resistant glove.Protective Material Types:Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), TyvekÒRespiratory Protection: A NIOSH approved respirator with N95 (dust, fume, mist) cartridges may be permissibleunder certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, or whensymptoms have been observed that are indicative of overexposure. The added protection of a full face-piecerespirator is required when visible dusty conditions are encountered and eye irritation may occur. A respiratoryprotection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant useofa respirator.HYGIENE MEASURES: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Good hygienepractices include but are not limited to: wearing suitable gloves and/or eye protection; washing hands andaffectedskin immediately after handling, before breaks, and at the end of the workday; regularly cleaning work area andclothing; etc.Prepared By; MASReviewed By: SRAApproved By: ARK

However, above this temperature the polymer isAttacked by the stronger acids.10.4 Conditions to avoidAvoid dust generation. Avoid accumulation of dust. Keep away from heat.10.5 Incompatible materialsSee Section: 10.310.6 Hazardous decomposition productsThermal decomposition will evolve toxic vapours. (Hydrogen chloride, Carbonmonoxide, Carbon dioxide, fire sootSection 11: Toxicological Information.POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:Eye contact: Eye exposure may cause mild irritation of the eye lids and conjunctiva. May causeeye irritation from the mechanical action of lodged particles.Skin contact: This material is unlikely to cause chemical skin irritation. Skin irritation may occurdue to mechanical action. Exposing skin to powder or fine particulate may causeslight redness, irritation.Inhalation: No known effects. Inhalation of powder or fine particulates may cause irritation,cough.Ingestion: No known effects. This material is practically non-toxic by the oral route.Chronic Effects: Chronic exposure to the respirable fraction (particles less than 10 microns in size)of PVC particles, may produce pulmonary fibrosis. Particle sizes associated withsuspension polymerization are typically greater than 10 microns in size. Productcontains residual amounts of VCM, concentrations are less than 10ppm( 0.001%).SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:Inhalation (Breathing): Respiratory System Effects: Inhalation of powders or fine particulates may causerespiratory tract irritation, cough.Prepared By; MASReviewed By: SRAApproved By: ARK
