Section 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Solid material in colorless granules. If heated above 500潞F (260潞C), irritating fumes could be evolved.
HEALTH EFFECTS - Acute and Chronic
Inhalation Unlikely to be hazardous as a solid, but dust or fumes may cause irritation. Decomposition above
500潞F ( 260潞C) can evolve fumes that could cause irritation to the mucous membranes and upper
respiratory tract.
Eye Contact Dust may cause eye irritation.
Skin Contact Unlikely to be hazardous as a solid, but dust or fumes may cause irritation. Hot fumes or heated
material will cause burns, may be harmful if absorbed through skin.
Ingestion Low oral toxicity.
Chronic: None known.

PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY Inhalation
Target organs Lungs, respiratory tract
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: None known.
Section 4 鈥? FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open, to
remove dust particles. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Molten material can cause severe burns.
Do not try to peel molten polymer from the skin. Cool rapidly with water. Get prompt medical
attention for burns.
Inhalation Move victim to fresh air. Restore breathing if necessary. Get medical attention if ill effects occur.
Ingestion Wash mouth out with water if person is conscious.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures Wear Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), do not breath fumes.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Combustible, but not readily ignited. Above 500潞F (260潞C) thermal
decomposition could evolve toxic, irritant and flammable vapors.
Section 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
No specific recommendations.
Section 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Store all industrial chemicals away from food and beverages.
Maintenance Precautions and Other Precautions: Do not remove or deface label. Read and follow directions and
cautions on the container label, and any accompanying literature.

Section 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation: Local exhaust, or mechanical or special ventilation to maintain exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection: Generally not required if adequate ventilation is provided. If the exposure limit of the
product or any of its components is exceeded, an approved organic vapor mask should be used (consult your safety
equipment supplier). Above 1000 ppm, an approved self-contained breathing apparatus or airline respirator with full
face-piece is required.
Other Engineering Controls: To determine exposure levels, perform monitoring. Eyewash station must be
available.
Work Practices: Do not use in confined or closed space. Ventilation must maintain the concentration of the product
and its components below their exposure limits.
Hygienic Practices: Avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area.
Wash hands before eating, drinking, or using restroom after using this or any chemical product.

Appearance and Odor Information:
Solid material in colorless granules. Characteristic acrylic odor when heated. The odor does not imply toxicity.
Section 10 鈥? STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong alkalies, strong oxidizers.
Conditions to Avoid for Polymerization: N/A Is the Product Stable? Yes
Conditions to Avoid for Stability: Can depolymerize at temperatures above 500潞F (260潞C)
Section 11 鈥? TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
CARCINOGENICITY ORAL INHALATION
COMPONENT IARC NTP ACGIH TOXICITY TOXICITY
Polymethylmethacrylate no no no NE NE
LC50 78,000 mg/m3 4hr rat
Methyl Methacrylate no no no LD50 7872 mg/kg oral rat
The acute oral (rat) LD50 value for methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA) is approximately 8,400 mg/kg. Liquid MMA
may cause primary eye or skin irritation. Allergic skin reactions may occur by repeated direct contact. Vapor
overexposure may cause irritation to the eyes or respiratory tract and may cause central nervous system depression.
MMA was not carcinogenic to rats and mice when inhaled at concentrations up to 1000 ppm for 2 years in studies
sponsored by the National Toxicology Program. These concentrations produced chronic nasal irritation resulting in
inflammation of the nasal cavity and degeneration of the olfactory epithelium.
