SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Do not enter fire area without proper protection. See Section 4 -
decomposition products possible. Fight fire from safe distance/protected
location. Heat/impurities may increase temperature/build pressure/rupture
closed containers, spreading fire, increasing risk of burns/injuries. Water
may be ineffective in firefighting due to low solubility. Use water
spray/fog for cooling. Pressure relief system may plug with solids,
increasing risk of overpressure. Notify authorities if liquid enters
sewer/public waters.
07. HEALTH HAZARDS
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
INHALATION
No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any adverse health hazard are
expected to occur at standard conditions due to the low volatility of this
material. However, aerosols, or vapors which may be generated at elevated
processing temperatures, may cause respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms of
irritation may include coughing, mucous production and shortness of breath.
EYE CONTACT -- PRIMARY ROUTE
May cause permanent injury, corrosion or destruction of eye tissue. Symptoms
include severe pain or burning, excessive swelling, redness and tearing.
SKIN ABSORPTION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to be a health hazard by skin absorption.
May be extremely harmful if absorbed through skin.
SKIN IRRITATION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
May cause minor skin irritation.
Symptoms of irritation may include slight redness or rash and swelling of the
affected area.
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data is known to
exist, this material may cause an allergic skin reaction (sensitization) in
susceptible individuals upon repeated exposure.
INGESTION
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to be an ingestion hazard.
May be extremely harmful if ingested in large amounts.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
No additional medical information found.
08. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT / CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If exposure can exceed the PEL/TLV, use only NIOSH/MSHA approved
air-purifying or supplied air respirator operated in a positive pressure mode
per the NIOSH/OSHA 1981 occupational health guidelines for chemical hazards.

EYE PROTECTION
Eye protection including both chemical splash goggles and face shield must
be worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing/spraying
liquid, airborne particles or vapor. Contact lenses must not be worn.
SKIN PROTECTION
Depending on the conditions of use, protective gloves, apron, boots, head
and face protection should be worn. This equipment should be cleaned
thoroughly after each use.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
If handling results in aerosol or vapor generation, local exhaust ventilation
is recommended.
OTHER HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the
immediate vicinity of any potential exposure.
OTHER WORK PRACTICES
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking,
smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled clothing/wash
thoroughly before reuse. Shower after work using plenty of soap and water.
09. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID
INHALATION
If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air immediately. Give oxygen
or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain emergency medical attention.
Prompt action is essential.
EYE CONTACT
For even minor eye contact, immediately rinse with clean water for 20-30
minutes. Retract eyelids often. Obtain emergency medical attention. Prompt
action is essential.
SKIN CONTACT
Remove contaminated clothing as needed. Wash skin thoroughly with mild
soap/water. Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If sticky, use waterless
cleaner first.
INGESTION
If swallowed, give lukewarm water (pint) if victim completely conscious/
alert. Do not induce vomiting/risk of damage to lungs exceeds poisoning risk.
Obtain emergency medical attention.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Note to physician: Treat as a toxic material (due to presence of minor
component, hydroxyethyl acrylate). Treat symptomatically.
10. SPILL AND DISPOSAL

Sartomer Company
Material Safety Data Sheet
Product: CN146 Revised Date: 02-02-2008
MSDS ID: S-000580 Replaces Date: 05-25-2005
PRECAUTIONS IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED
Spilled or released material may polymerize and release heat/gases.
Extinguish all ignition sources and ventilate area. Wear protective
equipment during clean-up. Dike and recover large spill. Soak up small
spill with inert solids (such as vermiculite, clay) and sweep/shovel into
vented disposal container. Wash spill area with a strong detergent and water
solution; rinse with water but minimize water use during clean-up. For
spills on water, contain, minimize dispersion and collect. Dispose/report
per regulatory requirements.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS
Non-contaminated, properly inhibited product is not a RCRA hazardous waste.
However, contaminated product/soil/water may be RCRA/OSHA hazardous waste due
to potential for internal heat generation (see 40 CFR 261 and 29 CFR 1910).
It is the responsibility of the generator to determine at the time of
disposal whether the product meets the criteria of a hazardous waste. Comply
with all applicable federal, state and local regulations. Use registered
transporters. Disposal options include landfilling solids at permitted
sites; fuel blending or incinerating liquids. Assure emissions comply with
applicable regulations. Dilute aqueous waste may biodegrade; avoid
overloading/poisoning plant biomass. Assure effluent complies with
applicable regulations.
11. ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURES
Wear appropriate protective equipment when handling this material (See Section
8 of MSDS). Some acrylic oligomers and oligomer blends are viscous or
extremely viscous and may require heating to facilitate handling. To
facilitate product transfer from original container, product may be heated to
60C/140F for not more than 24 hours. Do NOT use localized heat sources such
as band heaters to heat/melt product. Do NOT use steam. Hot boxes or hot
rooms are recommended for heating/melting material. The hot box or hot room
should be set at a maximum temperature of 60C/140F. Do not overheat--this may
compromise product quality and/or result in an uncontrolled hazardous
polymerization. If product freezes, heat as indicated above and mix gently to
redistribute the inhibitor. Product should be consumed in its entirety after
heating/melting--avoid multiple "re-heats" which may affect product quality or
result in product degradation. Product is packaged with inhibitor(s). Unless
inhibited, product can polymerize, raising temperature and pressure possibly
rupturing container. Check inhibitor content periodically, adding to bulk
material if needed. In addition, the product's inhibitor(s) require the
presence of dissolved oxygen. Maintain, at a minimum, the original headspace
in the product container and do not blanket or mix with oxygen-free gas as it
renders inhibitor ineffective. Ensure air space (oxygen) is present during
product heating/melting.
Store product indoors at temperatures greater than product's freezing point
(or greater than 0C/32F if no freezing point available) and below 38C/100F.
Avoid prolonged (longer than shelf-life) storage temperatures above 38C/100F.
Store in tightly closed containers in a properly vented storage area away

from: heat, sparks, open flame, strong oxidizers, radiation, and other
initiators. Prevent contamination by foreign materials. Prevent moisture
contact. Use only non-sparking tools and limit storage time. Unless
specified elsewhere, shelf-life is 6 months from receipt.
DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
Follow standard plant procedures or supervisor's instructions for
decontamination operations.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS INFORMATION:
No chronic health effects information is available for this product as a
whole. However, there is some information for the individual product
components. This information is listed below.

Compounds structurally similar to the Acrylic Oligomer component of this
product produced growth retardation and mild kidney and liver effects during
long-term feeding studies in animals. Several of these compounds were
teratogenic in chick embryo studies. In addition, some are believed to be
endocrine disrupters. There is no evidence that this component or this
product will produce any of these effects in animals or humans.
