2. Hazard(s) Identification
Physical Appearance: Panels or boards in various colors and dimensions.
Immediate Concerns: Rough edges of the products could result in minor cuts to hands. Appropriate gloves
and long sleeve shirt should be worn to prevent cuts and/or scraps.
OSHA Hazard Category: Combustible dust
GHS Hazard Categories: Not classified
Signal Word: Warning! This product as shipped is not classified as a combustible dust; however, a
combustible concentration of dust may occur if fine powders accumulated or suspended in an enclosed or
confined area (e.g. from cutting or sanding the product).
Pictogram: There is no pictogram for a combustible dust hazard
Rough edges of the products could result in minor cuts to hands. Appropriate gloves should be worn to
prevent cuts and/or scraps.
Dust and flying chips are generated during cutting and sawing process. They can cause irritation to the
skin, eyes and respiratory symptoms. Proper PPE, such as safety glasses, respirator and long sleeve shirt
should be worn during operation.
This product is nonflammable and nonexplosive under normal conditions of use. It will not continue to burn
after ignition without an external fire source. When forced to burn, the major gaseous products of the
combustion of PVC are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride. Adequate ventilation
should be provided to minimize exposures to vapors or fumes.
When cutting, shaping or modifying the
boards, other hazards may exist.

Potential Health Effects
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Do not rub the eyes. If irritation
develops, consult a physician.
Skin: Wash affected skin areas with soap and water. If irritation develops, get medical attentions
immediately.
Ingestion: Consult physician.
Inhalation: Remove subject to fresh air. If symptoms develop, seek immediate medical attention.
3. Composition and Information on Ingredients
The primary composition of this product is PVC. This product contains a proprietary blend of components
encapsulated within a polymer matrix.
Chemical Name CAS Number Wt. % OSHA PEL
PVC 9002-86-2
50-100 5mg/m

(respirable dust)
Proprietary Mixtures 0-50 Not established
4. First Aid Measures
The following should applies the PVC
boards be cut, sanded or otherwise processed which generates dust,
debris or vapors.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Do not rub the eyes. If irritation
develops, consult a physician.
Skin: Wash affected skin areas with soap and water. If irritation develops, get medical attention
immediately.
Ingestion: Consult physician.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If irritation persists or breathing is difficult, get medical attention.
Other Instructions: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO
2), water spray
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride.
Explosion Hazard: This product is nonflammable and nonexplosive under normal conditions of use. Avoid
generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition
source is a potential dust explosion hazard.

Special protective equipment for firefighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective
gear.
Sensitive to Static Discharge: Static discharge could be an ignition source for a combustible
concentration of dust.
6. Accidental Release Measures
As supplied, the product presents no risk of spill or release.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling: Wear safety glasses during cutting and fabricating processes.
Electrostatic charge may build up during handling. Grounding of equipment is recommended.
Handling: Appropriate gloves and long sleeve shirt should be worn to prevent cuts and/or scraps.
If the product is cut or sanded, avoid exposure to dust and debris. Provide appropriate local ventilation at
machinery and at places where dust can be generated. In addition, wear suitable respiratory equipment to
avoid breathing dusts.
Storage: Store in a cool dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of extreme heat or fire.
8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Occupational Exposure Limits:
Number Components OSHA-PEL ACGIH-TLV
1 PVC 5 mg/m
3
(as respirable dust) 10 mg/m
3
(as nuisance dust)
Engineering Controls: Ventilation Requirements General ventilation should be sufficient. However, if
operating conditions create high airborne concentrations of this material, special ventilation may be needed. If
handling results in dust generation, special ventilation may be needed to ensure that dust exposure does not
exceed the OHSA PEL for nuisance dust.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal handling and processing. Should conditions exist
that require respiratory protection, for example while cutting or sanding generating dusts, a
NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator should be worn.
Eye Protection: When cutting or processing the product, wear safety glasses with side shields.
Body Protection: Wear protective gloves and long sleeve shirt to avoid incidental cuts or scraps that
could occur when handling the edges of product.
