Special Firefighting Procedures:
Handle as flammable liquid. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus & chemical goggles. Water may be ineffective,
but should be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards:
Vapor is heavier than air and travels considerable distance to source of ignition and flashback. On long standing may
form peroxides which may cause violent reaction especially upon evaporation to dryness.

Section 5 - Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable Conditions To Avoid: Keep in closed containers away from sparks & open flame.
Incompatability Strong oxidizing materials, Lithium Aluminum Hydride, Sodium Aluminum Hydroxide, Sodium &
(Materials To Avoid): Potassium Hydroxides.
Hazardous Decomposition: Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are formed. Irritating Peroxide fumes formed when
heated to decomposition.
Hazardous Polymerization: Avoid excessive exposure to air and cationic initiators like Lewis Acids.
Section 6 - Health Hazard Data
Routes of Entry: Inhalation YES/Primary Skin YES/Primary Ingestion YES/Secondary
Health Hazards:
Corrosive to eyes and skin irritant. Severe overexposure can cause headache, dizziness & narcosis. May cause
dermatoses and dermatitis with prolonged repeated contact.
Carcinogenicity: NTP IARC OSHA Regulated
NO NO NO
Signs And Symptoms of Exposure:
INGESTION: No effects of exposure expected. INHALATION: Will cause irritation of mucous membranes, nose,
eyes & throat, coughing, difficulty of breathing. Exposure to high vapor concentration may cause headache,
dizziness, nausea, narcosis, SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged contact causes common solvent defatting effect. EYE
CONTACT: Vapors slightly uncomfortable, splashes irritating. Will cause painful burning of stinging of eyes and lids,
watering of eyes, and inflammation of conjunctiva.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure:
No data found.
Emergency And First Aid Procedures:
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, dilute by giving two glasses of water. Call a physician
immediately. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration preferably mouth to
mouth. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Call a physician. SKIN CONTACT: Wash affected skin area with soapy
water. Remove contaminated clothing. EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15
minutes. Consult a physician.

Section 7 - Precautions For Safe Handling And Use:
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled:
Eliminate sources of ignition. Absorb with sand or inert absorbing material and dispose of with solid waste according
to federal, state and local regulations. Flush spill area with water, avoid flushing into confined areas.
Waste Disposal Method:
Incinerate in accordance with the federal, state and local regulations.
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing:
Store in cool place, well-ventilated area. Keep away from open flame and sources of ignition.
Other Precautions:
Use normal good personal hygiene.
Section 8 - Control Measures:
Respiratory Protection:
In confined spaces or other circumstances where adequate ventilation cannot be assured use NIOSH-approved
respirator, positive pressure airline mask, or self contained breathing apparatus.
When using cements in an area of
