SECTION IV. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point: Material can splatter above 100掳C/212掳F. Polymer film can burn.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand
MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
SECTION V. Health Hazard Data
Health Effects:
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapor or mist can cause the following:
- headache - nausea - irritation of nose, throat, and lungs
First Aid: Move subject to fresh air.
Eye Contact: Direct contact with material can cause the following:
- slight irritation
First Aid: Flush eyes with a large amount of water for at least 15 minutes.
Consult physician if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause the following:
- slight skin irritation
First Aid: Wash affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.
Consult a physician if irritation persists.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
First Aid: If swallowed, give 2 glasses of water to drink. Consult a
physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
SECTION VI. Stability, Reactivity and Polymerization
Stability: This material is considered stable. However, avoid temperatures
above 177掳C/350掳F, the onset of polymer decomposition.
Thermal decomposition is dependent on time and temperature.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition may yield acrylic monomers.
Hazardous Polymerization: Product will not undergo polymerization.
Incompatible Materials: There are no known materials which are incompatible with this
product.
SECTION VII. Spill Procedures and Disposal Considerations
Personal Protection: Appropriate protective equipment must be worn when handling a spill of this
material. See PERSONAL PROTECTION MEASURES Section for
recommendations. If exposed to material during clean-up operations, see the
FIRST AID PROCEDURES Section for actions to follow.
Procedures: Keep spectators away. Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Contain
spills immediately with inert materials (e.g. sand, earth). Transfer liquids and
solid diking material to separate suitable containers for recovery or disposal.
CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open
bodies of water.

MSDS Date: January 1, 2003
Waste Disposal Method: Coagulate the emulsion by the stepwise addition of ferric chloride and
lime. Remove the clear supernatant and flush to a chemical sewer.
Incinerate liquid and contaminated solids in accordance with local, state,
and federal regulations.
SECTION VIII. Control and Protective Measures
Respiratory Protection: None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below the
TWA/TLV鈥檚 listed in the COMPONENT EXPOSURE INFORMATION
Section. For airborne concentrations up to 10 times the TWA/TLV鈥檚
listed in the COMPONENT EXPOSURE INFORMATION Section wear a
MSHA/NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask, air-purifying
respirator. Air-purifying respirators should be equipped with organic
vapor cartridges.
Eye Protection: Use chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).
Hand Protection: The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation.
Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate
protection:
- Neoprene
SECTION IX. Storage and Handling
Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 100
ft./min. (30 m/min.) at the point of vapor evolution. Refer to the current
edition of Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice
published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists for information on the design, installation, use, and
maintenance of exhaust systems.
Other Protective Equipment: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an
eyewash facility.
Storage Conditions: Keep from freezing; material may coagulate. The minimum
recommended storage temperature for this material is 1掳C/34掳F. The
maximum recommended storage temperature for this material is
49掳C/120掳F.
Handling Procedures: Monomer vapors can be evolved when material is heated during
processing operations. See FACILITY CONTROL MEASURES Section
for types of ventilation required.
