4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:Move to fresh air.
Skin contact:Wash with water and soap as a precaution. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Eye contact:Rinse with plenty of water. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Ingestion:Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Consult a physician if necessary. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.

Thermal decomposition may yield acrylic monomers.
Thermal decomposition
Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
Suitable extinguishing
media:
Specific hazards during fire fighting:Material can splatter above 100C/212F. Dried product can burn.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
Use personal protective equipment.
Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Material can create slippery conditions.
Environmental precautions
CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.
Methods for cleaning up
Contain spills immediately with inert materials (e.g., sand, earth).
Transfer liquids and solid diking material to separate suitable containers for recovery or disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly closed. Do not breathe
vapors, mist or gas.
Further information on storage conditions:Keep from freezing - product stability may be affected. STIR WELL
BEFORE USE.
Storage
Storage temperature:1 - 49 掳C(34 - 120 掳F)
Other data:Monomer vapors can be evolved when material is heated during processing operations. See SECTION 8, for
types of ventilation required. NOTE: Formaldehyde will be generated under acidic conditions. Maintain adequate
ventilation under these conditions to prevent exposure to formaldehyde above the Rohm and Haas Co. recommended
ceiling of 0.3 ppm.

ACGIH TWA 17 mg/m3 25 ppm
ACGIH STEL 24 mg/m3 35 ppm
OSHA_TRANS PEL 35 mg/m3 50 ppm
Eye protection:safety glasses with side-shields Eye protection worn must be compatible with respiratory protection
system employed.
Hand protection:The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. (Gloves of other chemically
resistant materials may not provide adequate protection): Neoprene gloves
Respiratory protection:A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or
equivalent must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. None required if airborne
concentrations are maintained below the exposure limit listed in Exposure Limit Information. For airborne concentrations
up to 10 times the exposure limit, wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask, air-purifying
respirator. Air-purifying respirators should be equipped with NIOSH approved (or equivalent) ammonia/methylamine
cartridges and N95 filters. If oil mist is present, use R95 or P95 filters.
Protective measures:Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility.
Engineering measures:Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 100 ft/min. (0.5 m/sec.) 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.
