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: Conditions To Avoid:
Stable Keep in closed containers away from sparks & open flame.
Incompatibility 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
YES/Primary
Routes of Entry: Inhalation YES/Primary YES/Secondary
Skin Ingestion
Health Hazards:
Corrosive to eyes and skin irritant. Severe overexposure can cause headache, dizziness and narcosis. May cause
dermatosis and dermatitis with prolonged repeated contact.
Carcinogenicity: NTP IARC OSHA Regulated
NO NO NO
Signs And Symptoms of Exposure:
INGESTION: No effects expected from ingestion of small amount. 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 skin contact causes common solvent defatting
effect. EYE CONTACT: Vapors slightly uncomfortable. Splashes irritating. Will cause painful burning or stinging of
eyes & lids, watering of eyes and 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 2 glasses of water. Call physician
immediately. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-
mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call physician. SKIN CONTACT: Wash affected area with soapy water.
Remove contaminated clothing. EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes.
Consult 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. Dispose of with solid waste in accordance
with all regulations. Flush spill area with water, avoid flushing into confined areas.
Waste Disposal Method:
Incinerate in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing:
Store in cool, 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 SCBA Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
Special When using cements in an area of
Ventilation: Local Exhaust As required

Gloves: PVA gloves.
N/A
Other:
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles.
Other Protective
Apron, boots, eye bath, safety shower.
Clothing:
Work/Hygienic Practices Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid ingestion of the cements. Do not eat or drink when
using cements or in the vicinity where such cements are being used.
