1 SAFETY DATA SHEET (according to 91/155/EEC Directive modified by 93/112/EC) PVC - BENVIC PEH 147/G096/AD 1. SUBSTANCE/PREPARATION AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION Data concerning producers Address : SOPLACHIM S.A. avenue de Tavaux FR QUETIGNY CEDEX Tel. : Fax : Identification of the substance or the preparation Product name : PVC - BENVIC PEH 147/G096/AD Chemical characterisation : Powder of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, stabilised by tin derivatives. 2. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS PVC resin homopolymer CAS Number : Stannic organo compounds Symbols : Xn Phrases R : 22, 43, 48/22, 53 Concentration : >= 1.00 % 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Preparation classified as dangerous according to Directive 1999/45/EC. Contains a sensitizing component. In case of decomposition, releases hydrochloric acid. 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES Effects Inhalation No reported cases of intoxication in man. 1/7

2 Eyes contact Mechanical irritation from the particulates generated by the product. Skin contact In case of repeated contact: risk of allergic dermatitis. Ingestion No reported cases of intoxication in man. By ingestion of large quantities: risk of immunologic system alterations. First aid Inhalation Negligible Eyes contact Flush eyes with running water for several minutes, while keeping the eyelids wide open. Skin contact Wash the affected skin with soap and water. Clean clothing. Ingestion General recommendations Contact a physician for advice. If the subject is completely conscious: Rinse mouth with fresh water. If the subject is unconscious: 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Common extinguishing means In case of fire in close proximity, all means of extinguishing are acceptable. Inappropriate extinguishing means No restriction. Specific hazards In a fire, the polymer is considered auto-extinguishing and so is unable to propagate fire. Limited risk of explosion of dusts in mixture with air only in particular conditions (see section 9). Strong energy source necessary for ignition. Formation of hydrochloric acid during combustion. Protective measures in case of intervention Intervention only by capable personnel who are trained and aware of the hazards of the product. Wear self contained breathing apparatus when in close proximity or in confined spaces. Wear chemically resistant over suits. After intervention, proceed to clean the equipment (take a shower, remove clothing carefully, clean and check). 2/7

3 Other precautions Avoid dispersing the dust into clouds, when using the extinguishing means. After the fire, proceed rapidly to clean the surfaces exposed to the fumes in order to limit the damage to the equipment. As for any fire, ventilate and clean the rooms before re-entry. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Precautions Follow the protective measures given in section 8. Cleanup methods Collect the product with suitable means avoiding dust formation. Place material into a closed and labelled container. For disposal methods, refer to section 13. Precautions for protection of the environment Do not discharge into the environment (sewers, rivers, soils,...). 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Use electrically conductive materials for piping circuits and equipment. Storage Negligible Other precautions Warn people about the dangers of the product. Avoid heating the product above the decomposition temperature (see section 9). No naked flame or spark. Grounded equipment. Avoid dust and formation of dust clouds. Follow the protective measures given in section 8. Packaging All materials. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering controls Follow the protective measures given in section 7. Maintain employee exposures to levels below the applicable exposure limits. Authorized limit values PVC resin homopolymer TLV (ACGIH-USA) 2002 TWA = 10 mg/m3 Remark: Inhalable PNOC (Particulates Not Otherwise Classified) PVC resin homopolymer OES (HSE-UK) /7

4 TWA = 10 mg/m3 PVC resin homopolymer TLV (ACGIH-USA) 2002 TWA = 3 mg/m3 Remark: Respirable PNOC (Particulates Not Otherwise Classified) Stannic organo compounds TLV (ACGIH-USA) 2002 TWA = 0.1 mg/m3 STEL = 0.2 mg/m3 Remark: Organic compounds based on Tin (Sn) Respiratory protection In case of dust clouds, dust mask type P2. In case of decomposition (see section 10), face mask with combined type B-P2 cartridge. Use only respiratory protection that conforms to international/ national standards. Self-contained breathing apparatus in medium confinement/insufficient oxygen/in case of large uncontrolled emissions/in all circumstances when the mask and cartridge do not give adequate protection. Hand protection Protective gloves - chemical resistant: Recommended materials: PVC, neoprene, rubber Eye protection Protective goggles, if appropriate. Skin protection Protective clothing suitable for the handling of chemicals. Other precautions Do not smoke, eat and drink in the working area. Wash your hands before eating, drinking or smoking. Consult the industrial hygienist or the safety manager for the selection of personal protective equipment suitable for the working conditions. 9.
