Classification: Not classified as hazardous under OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
GHS Label Elements: No required pictograms, hazard statements, or precautionary statements
Potential Hazards: Dust may cause mechanical irritation to eyes and respiratory tract; molten material can cause burns
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation of dust/fumes, skin or eye contact, accidental ingestion
Main Component: Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer (C2H4-C4H6O2)
Ethylene Content: Approximately 60% to 90% by weight
Vinyl Acetate Content: Typically 10% to 40% by weight
Possible Additives: Antioxidants, stabilizers, pigments, slip agents (proportion depends on manufacturer and grade)
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash off with soap and water. For burns from molten product, cool area quickly with cold water, do not remove solidified material, seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms like coughing or difficulty breathing develop.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet onto molten material may cause splattering
Fire Hazards: Decomposition produces irritating and toxic fumes (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetic acid, vinyl acetate monomer)
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing required for large fires
Advice to Firefighters: Evacuate area, prevent runoff to sewers or waterways
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust formation, use personal protective equipment as appropriate
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains or watercourses
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or shovel material into suitable containers for recycling or disposal, clean spill area with water if needed; for molten product, cool and remove mechanically
Specific Incidents: In case of release of dust or fumes in confined areas, ventilate thoroughly
Handling Practices: Avoid breathing dust or hot fumes, avoid direct contact with molten resin, handle with adequate ventilation
General Hygiene: Wash hands after handling, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents
Container Materials: Use only container materials recommended by manufacturer, keep containers plastic-lined and securely closed
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation at points of dust or fume generation
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved respirator in dusty or fume-producing situations
Skin Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves when handling hot or molten EVA
