4. FIRST AID MEASURES
| Inhalation: | Pellets: Not applicable. At elevated temperature: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing: Artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult: Oxygen. Immediately get medical attention. | |
| Skin contact: | Pellets: Not applicable. At elevated temperature: Wash off with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention. | |
| Eye contact: | Wash off with plenty of water with eyelids open for at least 15’. Remove contact lens if worn. Get medical attention. | |

| Note to the physician: | ||
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
| Suitable extinguishing media: | CO2, foam, dry chemical, water spray. | ||
| Specific hazards: | PVC is considered as an auto-extinguisher and incapable of propagating a flame. Avoid dust condition to reduce explosion potential. See also section 10. | ||
| Special protective equipment for fire fighters: | Self-contained breathing apparatus. Full protective clothing. | ||
| Specific methods: | Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool. | ||
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
| Personal precautions: | See section 8. | ||
| Environmental precautions: | Stop source of spill. Do not allow to enter sewerage system and other water bodies. If yes, notify responsible authority of non-floating plastic pellets. Ingredients are unlikely to leach from pellets. | ||
| Methods for cleaning up: | Sweep up spilled pellets and place in suitable container for reuse or disposal. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered pellets and ensure conformity to local regulations. | ||
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
| Handling: | Maintain proper grounding against static electricity to all installation system. Spilled pellets may cause severe slipping condition. |
| Storage: | Do not store near flame. Do not exceed 70ºC while storing in silos or any other containers. |
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
| Chemical name | Cas No. | National occupational exposure limits | ||
| Total dust | 10 mg/m³ ACGIH | |||
| Tin compounds | 0.1 mg Sn/m³ ACGIH | |||
| Engineering measures to reduce exposure: | If dust condition is over recommendation use local exhaust. | |||
| Personal protection equipment | ||||
| Respiratory protection: | Use NIOSH approved mask if unable to control airborne dust fumes and vapors. In case of decomposition - use gas mask with type B filter in case of release of HCl. | |||
| Hand protection: | Cold pellets - not necessary. Hot pellets - isolated gloves. | |||
| Eye protection: | Cold pellets - not necessary. Hot pellets - face shield. | |||
| Skin & body protection: | Wear suitable protective clothing. | |||
| Hygiene measures: | When using the material, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands prior to breaks or at works’ end; clean face as well. | |||
