PVC Resin

• Chemical Composition:

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). The chemical formula for PVC is (C2H3Cl)n, where “n” indicates the number of repeating units.

• Physical Properties:

Appearance: White to light yellow powder or granules.

Density: Approximately 1.4 g/cm³.

Melting Point: Typically ranges from 75°C to 105°C depending on the formulation.

Glass Transition Temperature (Tg): Around 80°C.

Thermal Stability: Stable up to about 60°C; degradation begins at higher temperatures.

• Mechanical Properties:

Tensile Strength: Ranges from 40 to 70 MPa depending on the type and formulation.

Elongation at Break: Generally between 100% and 300%.

Hardness: Shore A hardness can vary widely based on additives, typically between 70A to 90A.

• Chemical Resistance:

Good resistance to acids, bases, and salts but can be affected by strong solvents like ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons.

• Additives Compatibility:

Can be blended with various plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers, and colorants to achieve desired properties.

• Construction Industry:

Used in pipes, fittings, and profiles due to its durability and resistance to corrosion.

• Electrical Applications:

Insulation for wires and cables because of its excellent electrical insulating properties.

• Packaging Materials:

Employed in making flexible films, sheets, and containers due to its versatility and ability to be processed into various forms.

• Automotive Components:

Utilized in interior trims, dashboards, and under-the-hood components owing to its lightweight nature and durability.

• Consumer Goods:

Found in toys, household items, flooring materials, and medical devices due to its safety when properly formulated.

• Identification

Product Name: PVC Resin

Manufacturer Information: [Your Company Name]

• Hazard Identification

Not classified as hazardous under OSHA regulations; however, dust may cause respiratory irritation if inhaled in large quantities.

• Composition/Information on Ingredients

Contains polyvinyl chloride along with various additives which may include stabilizers or plasticizers depending on the specific product formulation.

• First-Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Skin Contact Wash with soap and water; seek medical attention if irritation occurs.

• Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media include water spray, foam, dry chemical powder; avoid using water jets as they may spread fire.

• Accidental Release Measures

Sweep up spills carefully; avoid generating dust; dispose of waste according to local regulations.

• Handling and Storage

Store in a cool dry place away from heat sources; use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling powdered forms.

• Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Use appropriate ventilation systems; wear masks if dust is generated during processing.

• Stability and Reactivity

Stable under normal conditions but can decompose at high temperatures releasing hydrochloric acid gas.

• Disposal Considerations

Dispose of according to local environmental regulations; recycling options should be considered where applicable.
