Overview
Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers are used in extrusion film processes for applications including packaging, surface protection and greenhouse covers, and in photovoltaic cell encapsulation. EVA copolymers are used in molded caps and seals, footwear and car interiors. They are the base polymer in many adhesive resin formulations and in wire and electrical cables compounding. For the hot-melt adhesive needed to hold pages and covers together in bookbinding applications, low to medium MI and high VA grades are used to maximize cohesive strength and flexibility.RXSOL EVA is an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer with 18% VA.

| Hazard Statements | Not classified as dangerous for supply/use. The preparation does not meet the criteria for classification in accordance with Directive 1999/45/EC and Directive 1272/2008/EC. |
| Precautionary statements prevention | May form combustible dust-air mixtures. |
| Precautionary statements - response |
Avoid skin contact. Avoid inhalation of hot resin fumes and vapors. |
| Eye Contact |
The product is an inert solid. Treat as for any foreign object in eye. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical attention immediately if eyes are irritated. |
| Skin Contact | First aid is normally not required. For contact with hot products, immediately flush skin with plenty of cold water for at least 15 minutes to dissipate heat. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Treat as for skin burns. Get medical attention. |
| Inhalation: | For exposure to dusts, vapors and/or aerosols formed at elevated temperatures, move exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention immediately. |
| Ingestion: | Not a likely route of exposure. Wash out mouth and water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention. |
| Extinguishing media | As appropriate for surrounding fire. Extinguish preferably with foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. |
| Unsuitable Extinguishing Media | Do not use water jet or waterspray. |
| Suitable extinguishing media | Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. |
| Fire Fighting Protective Equipment | A self contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing should be worn in fire conditions. |
| Protective Equipment | Use personal protective equipment. |
|
Hazardous Decomposition Product(s) |
Combustion or thermal decomposition will evolve toxic and irritant vapours. |
| Advice for emergency responders | Do not take action without proper training and emergency equipment. See Section 8 for additional information. Evacuate surrounding areas. Eliminate all ignition sources including flares and all open flames. Avoid all contact with spilled material. Maintain adequate ventilation and wear appropriate respiratory protection. |
| Spillage | Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. |
| Personal Protection | Caution - spillages may be slippery. Ensure suitable personal protection (including respiratory protection) during removal of spillages. Dust clouds are sensitive to ignition by electrostatic discharge. |
| Enviromental Precaution | Avoid dispersal of spilled material, runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). |
|
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning |
Stop spill if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, surface waters, basements or confined areas. Wash spillage into effluent treatment plant. Contain and collect spillage using appropriate personal protective equipment. Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handing chemical products or if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Collect and contain spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth) and place in a container for disposal according to local regulations. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment if flammable gasses, liquids or vapors are present in the spill area. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard(s) as the spilled product. |
| Handling | Observe all label precautions. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. |
| Storage |
Keep only in the original container. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well ventilated place. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. This product should be kept away from naked flames and other sources of ignition. Bulk storage should be in approved vessels, preferably steel that is grounded and vented Keep use containers tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination |
| Specific end uses | No other additional special end uses are anticipated. |
.
| Engineering Control | Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. |
| Personal Protectiol |
Eye/face protection: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to product dusts, liquid splashes or mists. Goggles should be worn where eye contact is possible. Hand protection: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is required. Glove material: cotton or plastic (thermal resistant) Glove thickness: 0.7 mm or thicker Break through time: > 240 minutes Other protective equipment: Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing may be required if used in areas where flammables are processed. Respiratory protection: A properly fitted air purifying respirator or air supply respirator should be worn if a risk assessment indicates that respiratory protection is necessary. Respirator selection must be based upon known or measured levels of exposure. |
| Hygiene measures: | Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Discard contaminated clothing or wash thoroughly before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. |
