Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: White liquid.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause
harmful effects. Breathing large amounts may be harmful. Symptoms usually occur at air concentrations higher than the
recommended exposure limits.
Skin
Can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact to may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning,
drying, cracking, burns, and other skin damage.
Absorption
Passage of this material into the body through the skin is possible, but it is unlikely that this would result in harmful effects
during safe handling and use.
Ingestion
Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can get into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in
lung inflammation and other lung injury.
Eyes
Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of the eyes.
Primary Routes of Entry (Exposure)
Inhalation, ingestion, skin, and eye contact.
Target Organs
Skin, eye, respiratory system, central nervous system (CNS), kidney, liver, and heart.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing eye, skin, respiratory, central nervous system (CNS), heart, liver and kidney conditions.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid: Inhalation
Remove individual to fresh air and administer artificial respiration or oxygen as necessary. Contact a medical professional.
First Aid: Skin
Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If irritation develops or persists, get medical attention. Launder clothing before
reuse.
First Aid: Ingestion
Product is not intended to be ingested or eaten. If this product is ingested, do not induce vomiting and get medical attention
immediately.
First Aid: Eyes
Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 5-20 minutes. Contact a medical professional.
First Aid: Notes to Physician
Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material: respiratory
tract, skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions), blood-forming system.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: >200掳F (93.3掳C) Method Used: SETA
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): 13.4 Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): 2.6
Auto Ignition: Not determined Flammability Classification: Combustible
Rate of Burning: Not determined
General Fire Hazards
If water content is lost (as in a fire), this material may release flammable vapors if exposed to high temperatures. When mixed
with air and exposed to ignition sources, vapors can burn in open or explode if confined. Vapors may be heavier than air and
may travel long distances along the ground before igniting/flashing back to the vapor source.
NFPA Rating: Health = 2 Fire = 1 Reactivity = 0
Hazardous Combustion Products
Aldehydes, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, phenols, and various hydrocarbons.
Extinguishing Media
Alcohol resistant (AR) Foam, water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions
Use NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus operating in the pressure demand mode and full fire fighting
protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapors.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Containment Procedures
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate and ventilate spill area. Dam spill area with sand, earth, or other suitable absorbent.
Prevent entry of material into sewers, other water sources, or land areas. Wear full protective clothing and respiratory
protection during clean-up as required to maintain exposures below the applicable exposure limit. Shovel absorbed material
into containers in well-ventilated area.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures
Use protective equipment as described in Section 8 of this material safety data sheet when handling uncontained material.
Material containers should be kept cool and dry. Store in tightly closed containers to prevent contamination.
Storage Procedures
Warehouse storage should be in accordance with package directions, if any. Keep from freezing.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
Protective equipment should be provided as necessary to prevent inhalation of vapors, prolonged skin contact, and to keep
exposure levels below the applicable exposure limits.

Local exhaust or general dilution ventilation may be required to maintain exposures below the applicable exposure limits. The
need for ventilation systems should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist, while the design of specific ventilation
systems should be conducted by a professional engineer.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin. Remove soiled clothing and was before reuse. Use good
personal hygiene practices after handling this material.

Carcinogenicity
A: General Product Information
No data for this product as a whole.
Vinyl acetate caused an increase in cancer of the nasal cavity in rats. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer reclassified this chemical from Group 3 (not able to be classified) to Group
2B (possibly carcinogenic in humans) in 1995. This classification is based on the study in rats, along with knowledge that vinyl
acetate is changed to acetaldehyde, a known animal carcinogen, in the body.
B: Component Carcinogenicity
Vinyl acetate (108-05-4)
ACGIH: A3 - Confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans
IARC: Group 2B - Possibly Carcinogenic to Humans (IARC Monograph 63 [1995], Supplement 7
[1987])
Mutagenicity
Vinyl acetate caused mutations in cells in culture and in laboratory animals. The relevance of this finding to human health is
uncertain.
Other Toxicological Information
Vinyl acetate has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in laboratory animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at
exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain.
