3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Colorless liquid with sweet odor
WARNING!
COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR.
CAUSES EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION.
MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION.
MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. Based on
single exposure animal tests, it is considered to be practically non-toxic if swallowed or absorbed through skin, slightly
irritating to eyes and moderately irritating to skin. Repeated exposure may cause an allergic skin reaction. Vapor may
be irritating to the respiratory tract.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES, immediately flush with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
IF ON SKIN, immediately wash with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
IF SWALLOWED, do NOT induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Get medical attention immediately. NEVER
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
IF INHALED, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.

Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Fight fire from a protected location - EXPLOSION HAZARD. Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to
products of combustion should wear full fire fighting turn out gear (full Bunker Gear) and self-contained breathing
apparatus (pressure demand NIOSH approved or equivalent). Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly
decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
When burned, the following hazardous products of combustion can occur:
Oxides of carbon
A large amount of heat can be generated when monomers are exposed to a fire. Heated sealed containers can
explode.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Extinguish or turn off all ignition sources. Ventilate the space involved. Wear appropriate personal protection
equipment as indicated in Section 8 of this MSDS. Contain spill with inert materials. Construct a dike to
prevent spreading. Collect with non-sparking tools to a suitable container. Prevent waterway contamination.
Absorb liquid onto inert absorbent and place in DOT approved drums for disposal. Consult a regulatory
specialist to determine appropriate state or local reporting requirements, for assistance in waste
characterization and/or hazardous waste disposal and other requirements listed in pertinent environmental
permits.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Keep away from heat and flame.
Keep container closed.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Avoid breathing vapor.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Emptied container retains vapor and product residue. Observe all labeled safeguards until container is
cleaned, reconditioned or destroyed.
Storage
This product should be stored in a closed container, away from direct sunlight, at ambient temperatures.
Storage of this product at elevated temperatures (>30 C or >85 F) reduces the shelf-life. The typical shelf-life
for this product is 12 months. An air space is required above the liquid in all containers; avoid storage under
an oxygen-free atmosphere.
The stability of this product should be checked periodically; typically every 90 days for bulk containers.
Materials recommended for packaging include: stainless steel, aluminum, glass, HDPE, PP or PTFE.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures below airborne exposure limits. Provide ventilation
if necessary to control exposure levels below airborne exposure limits (see below). If practical, use local
mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment.
Eye / Face Protection
Where there is potential for eye contact, wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing equipment
immediately available.
Skin Protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves to prevent skin
contact. Butyl rubber or Nitrile gloves should be worn when handling this material. Wear face shield and
chemical resistant clothing such as a rubber apron when splashing may occur. Wash contaminated clothing
and clean protective equipment before reuse. Rinse contaminated skin promptly. Wash skin thoroughly
after handling.
Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. When airborne exposure limits are exceeded (see below), use NIOSH
approved respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components. Consult
respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for given application. Observe respirator
use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and other conditions where
exposure limit may be significantly exceeded, use an approved full face positive-pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory
protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 搂 1910.134.

-Only those components with exposure limits are printed in this section.
-Skin contact limits designated with a "Y" above have skin contact effect. Air sampling alone is insufficient to accurately quantitate
exposure. Measures to prevent significant cutaneous absorption may be required.
-ACGIH Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic reactions.
-WEEL-AIHA Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic skin reactions.

Stability
This material is chemically stable under normal and anticipated storage and handling conditions. However,
this material can undergo hazardous polymerization. See Hazardous Polymerization below for conditions to
avoid.
Hazardous Polymerization
An uncontrolled polymerization may produce a rapid release of energy with the potential for an explosion of
unvented closed containers or inadequately vented containers.
Incompatibility
This material polymerizes exothermically in the presence of heat, contamination, oxygen free atmoshpere, free
radicals, peroxides, and inhibitior depletion liberating heat.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Single exposure (acute) studies indicate:
Oral - Practically Non-Toxic to Rats (LD50 >4435 mg/kg, <6400 mg/kg)
Dermal - Practically Non-Toxic to Rabbits (LD50 >8500 mg/kg, <16000 mg/kg)
Inhalation - No rats died after a 8-hr exposure to a concentrated vapor at 20 degrees C
Eye Irritation - Slightly Irritating to Rabbits
Skin Irritation - Moderately Irritating to Rabbits
Skin allergy was observed in guinea pigs following repeated exposure. Repeated inhalation exposure
produced respiratory irritation and liver effects in rats. Long-term application to the skin of mice produced skin
tumors at the site of application at doses which produced irritation. No genetic changes were observed in tests
using bacteria, animal cells or animals.
12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicological Information

This material is slightly toxic to algae (72-hr EC50 44 mg/l), brine shrimp (24-hr LC50 72 mg/l) and golden orfe
(48-hr LC50 23 mg/l). It is moderately toxic to daphnia ( 48-hr EC50 17.45 mg/l).
Chemical Fate Information
Data on this material and/or its components are summarized below.
