apparatus and turn out gear. Water may be ineffective but should be
used to keep exposed containers cool.
Unusual Hazards:
Due to the polymerization potential when exposed to heat, sealed
containers may rupture explosively. In advanced or massive fires,
fight fire from a distance or from protected area.

Acute Overexposure Effects:
Acrylic acid is corrosive to all tissues. Eye contact can cause
severe burns and loss of vision. A 1% aqueous solution of acrylic
acid can cause significant irritation and eye damage. Contact with
the skin can cause severe burns which may be delayed.
Acrylic acid is a corrosive liquid which can cause burns and
permanent eye damage; inhalation of acrylic acid resulted in nasal
lesions in both rats and mice. Pure acrylic acid does not appear to
cause skin sensitization.
Chronic Overexposure Effects:
Acrylic acid was not carcinogenic when administered to rats via
drinking water (78 mg/kg/day) over a lifetime. In addition, lifetime
inhalation exposures (5-135 ppm) of rats to methyl acrylate, ethyl
acrylate and butyl acrylate did not cause carcinogenic effects;
although nasal lesions were noted at the higher concentrations (just
as with acrylic acid). In 1998, the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) determined that acrylic acid was not
classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).
First Aid Procedures - Skin:
Wash affected areas with soap and water. Remove and launder
contaminated clothing before reuse. Get immediate medical attention.
First Aid Procedures - Eyes:
Immediately rinse eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Get
immediate medical attention.
First Aid Procedures - Ingestion:
If swallowed, dilute with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Never
give fluids or induce vomiting if the victim is unconscious or having
convulsions. Get immediate medical attention.
First Aid Procedures - Inhalation:
Move to fresh air. Aid in breathing, if necessary, and get
immediate medical attention.
First Aid Procedures - Notes to Physicians:
None known.

SECTION 9 - STORAGE AND HANDLING
_______________________________________________________________________
General:
Avoid excessive heat, direct sunlight, inhibitor loss, and
contaminants. Maintain contact with atmosphere of 5-21% oxygen. Do
not use inert atmosphere as blanket. Store at temperatures of
15-25 C. Avoid overheating or freezing. Never use steam or
electrical heating to thaw frozen acrylic acid or its containers. If
frozen, use warm water (45 C max) or heated room (between 20-33 C) to
thaw material. Keep acid free of contamination and moisture. Under
these conditions, a storage stability of 1 year is expected.
