Additional information

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) contains vinyl chloride monomer in approximately 0.1 to 10 ppm by weight and has the potential to be released in ppm quantities when heated for processing. Vinyl chloride monomer is a suspected carcinogenic agent. The U.S. Department of Labor specifically regulates the manufacture, handling, and processing of polyvinyl chloride. These regulations are published under 29 CFR 1910.1017. None of the information contained in this MSDS should be construed to contradict or supersede these regulations. Handlers and processors of polyvinyl chloride must be familiar with these regulations. At normal ambient temperatures, all components of this mixture are encapsulated into this materials' matrix and are not expected to create unique component hazards during the normal use of the composite material. SECTION III - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview: Hazards described herein may exist if material is in a fume or dust state. This material can burn in fire releasing toxic vapors, gases, and fumes. Normal use at ambient temperatures in non-dust or non-fume form is not expected to have any known hazard effect due to exposure to this material. SECTION III - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Relevant Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, Skin & Eye Contact Signs and Symptoms of Acute Irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Overexposure: Signs and Symptoms of No known chronic effect. Chronic overexposure is improbable because the ingredients are bound in the matrix Chronic Overexposure: of the compound. Medical Conditions Generally Individuals with chronic respiratory disorders may be adversely affected by any fume or airborne particulate Aggravated By Exposure: exposure. Sensitive individuals may be susceptible to allergic reaction from contact with skin, eyes, or respiratory tract. Potential Health Effects: Eyes: Dust or particulate may cause irritation or scratch the surface of the eye. Fumes from heated material may be irritating. Skin: Though not expected to present significant skin irritation under normal conditions of use, prolonged exposure may cause slight irritation. Rubbing may cause irritation similar to sand or dust. Molten material will produce thermal burns from direct contact. Ingestion: May cause choking if swallowed. Single dose oral toxicity is believed to be low. Inhalation: Elevated temperatures (below thermal decomposition temperatures) may release vapors that are irritating in some individuals.
