**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
May cause cancer. May cause heritable genetic damage. Toxic in
contact with skin and if swallowed. Toxic : danger of serious damage
to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation, contact with
skin and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause eye irritation and possible
burns.
Skin:
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. If absorbed, causes symptoms similar
to those of ingestion. Contact with the skin will cause peeling of
the skin of the fingertips.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Can cause nervous system damage.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. May cause effects similar to those described for
ingestion. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
May cause cancer according to animal studies.
**** 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.
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:
Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat and/or fire.
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by
thermal decomposition or combustion. Wear appropriate protective
clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Wear a self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) to prevent contact with thermal
decomposition products. Combustible liquid.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers.
**** 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. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Remove all sources of ignition.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep
away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Use with
adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep from contact with
oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away
from incompatible substances. Dark room. Keep away from
polymerization catalysts.
**** 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.

CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use. A NIOSH/MSHA
approved air purifying dust or mist respirator or
