**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes and skin. May cause sensitization by skin
contact.Light sensitive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful
amounts. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which
becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties
of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Chronic:
May cause reproductive and fetal effects.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:

**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****

General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Fire or
excessive heat may result in violent rupture of the container due to
bulk polymerization.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Pure vapor
will be uninhibited and may polymerize in vents or other confined
spaces.
Storage:
Store in a cool place in the original container and protect from
sunlight. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4C/39F.) Store in a
tightly closed container. Store protected from light.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 150-76-5:

Belgium - TWA: 5 mg/m3 VLE
France - VME: 5 mg/m3 VME
Germany: 5 mg/m3 TWA
Malaysia: 5 mg/m3 TWA
Netherlands: 5 mg/m3 MAC
Spain: 5 mg/m3 VLA-ED
CAS# 868-77-9:

Netherlands: 0.05 ppm MAC; 0.24 mg/m3 MAC
Russia: 20 mg/m3 TWA

Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear chemical splash goggles.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.

**** SECTION 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY ****

Chemical Stability:
Stable only if stored and handled under recommended conditions. The
stability of the product depends upon the availability of both
dissolved oxygen and MEHQ inhibitor(CAS=150-76-5). The presence of
oxygen is necessary for the MEHQ to function effectively. The
product should never be stored under an inert gas atmosphere, but
should always be stored under an atmosphere containing 5-21% oxygen
by volume.
Conditions to Avoid:
Light, excess heat, loss of inhibitor.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon
dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: May occur.
