Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical
Specific Hazards: Fiber may burn releasing carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and minor irritants
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Further Information: Avoid inhaling combustion products, water mist helps control dust and prevent fire from spreading
Personal Precautions: Wear a dust mask, protective clothing, and gloves
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large amounts from entering sewers or drains
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum fiber into containers, minimize dust formation, clean spill area with water to avoid slipping
Disposal: Dispose of in accordance with local and national waste regulations
Handling: Avoid generating airborne dust, use local exhaust if necessary, prevent contact with open flames or high heat
Storage: Store in cool, dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight, moisture, and oxidizing agents
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids
Safe Storage Practices: Keep container tightly closed and clearly labeled
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation helps limit fiber dust exposure
Occupational Exposure Limits: No standard assigned to PVA fibers, use general nuisance dust limits (ACGIH TLV for particulates not otherwise regulated: 10 mg/m3 total, 3 mg/m3 respirable)
Personal Protective Equipment: Dust mask or respirator for airborne fibers, safety goggles, gloves, protective clothing
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse
State: Solid fibers
Color: White or off-white
Odor: None
Melting Point: Fiber decomposes above 200°C without melting
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Solubility: Readily dissolves in water at temperatures above 20°C
Density: 1.26 ~ 1.31 g/cm3
pH (1% Solution): 5-7
Flammability: Fiber burns slowly, supports combustion with difficulty
Explosion Properties: Non-explosive
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended conditions
Reactivity: No hazardous reactions occur during normal storage and use
Conditions to Avoid: High temperatures, sources of ignition, strong oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents
Decomposition Products: Upon thermal decomposition, releases carbon oxides, acetic acid vapors, and traces of aldehydes
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity by oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Not irritating to skin
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause temporary mild irritation
Respiratory/Skin Sensitization: Not a sensitizer
Repeated Dose Toxicity: No evidence of adverse systemic effects
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA as a carcinogen
Additional Information: No adverse effects expected from foreseeable exposure patterns
Aquatic Toxicity: Low hazard for aquatic life, biodegradable
Persistence and Degradability: PVA fiber degrades in water and soil through microbial action
Bioaccumulation: No potential for bioaccumulation
Mobility in Soil: High solubility promotes dispersion and biodegradation in moist environments
Other Adverse Effects: No ozone depletion, global warming, or photochemical smog contribution
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose as non-hazardous industrial waste; incinerate or landfill according to local regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Clean and recycle, or dispose of as ordinary waste
Special Precautions: Prevent large contaminated amounts from entering waterways or landfills with restricted leachate acceptance
