None. Specific hazards Non-combustible as supplied. Small chips, fine turnings, and dust from processing may be readily ignitable. Explosion/fire hazards may be present when: • Dust or fines are dispersed in air. • Chips, dust or fines are in contact with water. • Dust and fines are in contact with certain metal oxides (e.g., rust, copper oxide). • Molten metal in contact with water/moisture or certain metal oxides (e.g., rust, copper oxide). Health effects from mechanical processing (e.g., cutting, grinding) Dust Can cause irritation of the eyes, skin and upper respiratory tract. Acute overexposures Acute overexposure Can cause nausea and muscle cramps. Additional health effects from elevated temperature processing (e.g., welding, melting): Dust and fumes Can cause irritation of the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Acute overexposure Can cause metal fume fever (nausea, fever, chills, shortness of breath and malaise). Combustion of the polyvinylchloride can generate toxic and irritating gases.
