Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
路 Most acrylic monomers have low viscosity therefore pouring, material transfer and
processing of these materials do not necessitate heating.
路 Viscous monomers may require heating to facilitate handling. To facilitate product
transfer from original containers, product must be heated to no more than 60 deg. C. (140
F.), for not more than 24 hours.
路 Do NOT use localised heat sources such as band heaters to heat/ melt product.
路 Do NOT use steam.
路 Hot boxes or hot rooms are recommended for heating/ melting material. The hot box or
hot room should be set a maximum temperature of 60 deg. C. (140 F.).
路 Do NOT overheat - this may compromise product quality and /or result in an uncontrolled
hazardous polymerisation.
路 If product freezes, heat as indicated above and mix gently to redistribute the
inhibitor. Product should be consumed in its entirety after heating/ melting; avoid
multiple "reheats" which may affect product quality or result in product degradation.
路 Product should be packaged with inhibitor(s). Unless inhibited, product may polymerise,
raising temperature and pressure, possibly rupturing container. Check inhibitor level
periodically, adding to bulk material if needed. In addition, the product's inhibitor(s)
require the presence of dissolved oxygen. Maintain, at a minimum, the original headspace
in the product container and do NOT blanket or mix with oxygen-free gas as it renders the
inhibitor ineffective. Ensure air space (oxygen) is present during product heating /
melting.
路 Store product indoors at temperatures greater than the product's freeing point (or
greater than 0 deg. C. (32 F).) if no freezing point available and below 38 deg. C (100
F.).
路 Avoid prolonged storage (longer than shelf-life) storage temperatures above 38 deg. C
(100 F.).
路 Store in tightly closed containers in a properly vented storage area away from heat,
sparks, open flame, strong oxidisers, radiation and other initiators.
路 Prevent contamination by foreign materials.
路 Prevent moisture contact.
路 Use only non-sparking tools and limit storage time. Unless specified elsewhere, shelf
-life is 6 months from receipt.
路 Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
路 Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
路 Use in a well-ventilated area.
路 Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.
路 DO NOT enter confined spaces until atmosphere has been checked.
路 Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
路 Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
路 When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
路 Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
路 Avoid physical damage to containers.
路 Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
路 Work clothes should be laundered separately.
路 Use good occupational work practice.
路 Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
路 Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to
ensure safe working conditions.
DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
路 Metal can or drum
路 Packaging as recommended by manufacturer.
路 Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Exposure to light, free radical initiators, iron, rust, oxidisers, and strong
bases.Storage beyond expiration date, may initiate polymerisation.
Contamination with polymerisation catalysts - peroxides, persulfates, oxidising agents -
also strong acids, strong alkalies, will cause polymerisation with exotherm - generation
of heat.
Polymerisation of large quantities may be violent - even explosive.
A controlled temperature not exceeding 60 C may be used for limited periods.
Product may polymerise at high temperatures producing sufficient heat to cause
thermal decomposition and/ or rupture of containers. Thermal decomposition can
leave to the evolution of irritant vapours or gases and/ or fires.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
路 Store in original containers.
路 Keep containers securely sealed.
路 No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
路 Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
路 Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
路 Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
路 Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
MATERIAL DATA
Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on
the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these
irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne
concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be
protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established
using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no
-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results
are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in
determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling
values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV
STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints
combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five
-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.
However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)
Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely
allied to that of the USA.
OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
路 cause inflammation
路 cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
路 lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
路 permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
路 acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus
increasing the risk of overexposure.
CEL TWA: 1 mg/m3 [compare WEEL-TWA* for multifunctional acrylates (MFAs)]
Exposure to MFAs has been reported to cause contact dermatitis in humans and serious eye
injury in laboratory animals. Exposure to some MFA-resin containing aerosols has also
been reported to cause dermatitis. As no assessment of the possible effects of long-term
exposure to aerosols was found, a conservative Workplace Environmental Exposure Level
(WEEL) was suggested by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).
INGREDIENT DATA
4-METHOXYPHENOL (MEHQ):
MEHQ has caused ocular toxicity in animals and skin depigmentation in
rodents and workers. The recommendation for the TLV-TWA arises from
documented eye and skin toxicities and by analogy with hydroquinone.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation
may be required in special circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved
respirator. Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances.
Correct fit is essential to ensure adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in
warehouses and enclosed storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace
possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of
fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating 0.25- 0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min)
from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, 0.5- 1 m/s (100- 200 f/min.)

value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood- local control only
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2
m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from
the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits
within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as
"harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human
evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following
ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg. liver, kidney) damage is evident.
Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing
mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal
tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however,
ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
SKIN
All multifunctional acrylates (MFA) produce skin disorders and sensitise the skin and
inflammation. Vapours generated by the heat of milling may occur in sufficient
concentration to produce inflammation. Because exposure to industrial aerosols of MFA
includes exposure to resin systems, photo-initiators, solvents, hydrogen-transfer agents,
stabilisers, surfactants, fillers and polymerisation inhibitors, poisoning may arise due
to a range of chemical actions.
This material can cause inflammation of the skin on
contact in some persons.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC
Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds,
lesions or abrasions.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
No report of respiratory illness in humans as a result of exposure to multifunctional
acrylates has been found.
The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to
such irritation can cause further lung damage.
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as
"harmful by inhalation". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human
evidence. In the absence of such evidence, care should be taken nevertheless to ensure
exposure is kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used, in an
occupational setting to control vapours, fumes and aerosols.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways
involving difficult breathing and related systemic problems.
There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this product is more likely to cause a
sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
All multifunctional acrylates (MFA) produce skin disorders and sensitise the skin and
inflammation. Vapours generated by the heat of milling may occur in sufficient
concentration to produce inflammation. Because exposure to industrial aerosols of MFA
includes exposure to resin systems, photo-initiators, solvents, hydrogen-transfer agents,
stabilisers, surfactants, fillers and polymerisation inhibitors, poisoning may arise due
to a range of chemical actions.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material
ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways
dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly
irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of
preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of
persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to
severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of
minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the
criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an
infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure
to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that
occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often
particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder
is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.
No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.
Based on the available oncogenicity data and without a better understanding of the
carcinogenic mechanism the Health and Environmental Review Division (HERD), Office of
Toxic Substances (OTS), of the US EPA previously concluded that all chemicals that
contain the acrylate or methacrylate moiety (CH2=CHCOO or CH2=C(CH3)COO) should be
considered to be a carcinogenic hazard unless shown otherwise by adequate testing.
This position has now been revised and acrylates and methacrylates are no longer de facto
carcinogens.
