Description
Remarks: The sample complies as per above Specification.
Uses: PVA is used in sizing agents that give greater strength to textile yarns and make paper more resistant to oils and greases. It is also employed as a component of adhesives and emulsifiers, as a water-soluble protective film, and as a starting material for the preparation of other resins. In cosmetics and personal care products, Polyvinyl Alcohol is used in a wide range of products, including makeup, skin care products and facial masks. Polyvinyl Alcohol increases the thickness of the lipid (oil) portion of cosmetics. It may also be used as a film former or a binder. PVA is a water soluble polymer used widely in adhesives, paints, sealants, coatings, textiles, plastics, etc. The polymer is normally supplied in powder form and several grades are available with varying viscosity and solubility characteristics. Polyvinyl alcohol (C2H4O)x is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. It is used to increase viscosity in pharmaceuticals and as a lubricant and protectant in ophthalmic preparations. Polyvinyl alcohol is often found in over-the-counter eye redness and eye lubricant (“Tears”) eye drops.
Packing: 25 kg HDPE Bags/HDPE Drum.

Get medical attention. |
SECTION 5 : Fire Fighting PROCEDURES
| Extinguisher Media |
Use media suitable to extinguish surrounding fire. Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. |
| Flammable Limits in Air % by Volume |
N/A |
| Special Fire fighting Procedures |
Firefighters should wear full protective equipment and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. |
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
| Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures |
Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.).
Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do not touch the spilled material. |
| Environmental precautions |
Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources. |
| Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage |
Contain spilled material. Do not let the product enter drains. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container.
Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow evacuating as per law. |
SECTION 7:SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
| Precautions for safe handling |
Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. |
| Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities |
Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container.
Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor.
Do not store with incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and bases. |
SECTION 8:SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
| Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) |
None needed under normal conditions of use with adequate ventilation. NIOSH approved equipment should be worn if PELs are exceeded. |
| Ventilation System |
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible.
Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. |
| Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved) |
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn.
For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. |
| Skin Protection |
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing. |
| Eye Protection |
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. |
| Other Control Measures |
Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Dust deposits on floors and other surfaces may pick up moisture and cause the surfaces to become slippery and present safety hazards.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands after handling. |
