SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES

Positive Pressure, Self contained Breathing Apparatus.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Most vinyl compounds will not support combustion because they require a higher
concentration of oxygen for burning than is present in the earth's atmosphere. Any vinyl
can be forced to burn by continuos application of heat. When forced to burn, the primary
combustion products will be hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.
Hydrogen chloride has a very corrosive effect on many metals. Affected surfaces should be
washed to remove corrosive deposits as soon as possible after depositions have occurred. |
SECTION V- HEALTH HAZARD DATA
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE
None Established
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE
No significant health hazards at ambient temperature when used as intended in product
design. Material is not intended for use in burning application.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Special equipment may be needed for specific applications. If irritation persists from
processing vapors or decomposition products, remove individual from area. Call a
Physician. |

PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN
CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
N/A
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD

SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION
INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (
SPECIFY TYPE)
Positive pressure SCBA for fire fighting.
VENTILATION
Mechanical (General) Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should
be sufficient to control airborne levels.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
When material is heated.
EYE PROTECTION
Recommended for all industrial workplaces. |
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
| PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING AND STORING |
| 1. |
Sprinklered warehouses are
recommended. Although most vinyl sheeting will not support combustion, materials such as
cardboard boxes, wooden pallets, and other combustibles can provide sufficient fuel to
cause vinyl to burn. |
| 2. |
Always wear rubber gloves when
cleaning exhaust equipment or other surfaces |
| 3. |
Regrinding of scrap generates
substantial heat, which will not readily dissipate due to vinyl’s excellent
insulating properties. This could result in slow thermal decomposition of material,
rendering the vinyl unsatisfactory for further processing and possibly causing a release
of fumes and vapors to the workplace. |
