FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
This product will tend to polymerize thermally at temperatures above
204C/400F. Once initiated, the reaction generates sufficient heat to
continue spontaneously. Heat from fire can generate flammable vapors.
When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, vapors can burn.
Such fires are very smoky. Closed drums can also rupture in a fire
causing flame to spread, increasing risk of burns. Personal contact
with hot liquid after a fire can cause severe burns due to high
temperatures.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Do not enter fire area without proper protection. See Section 4 -
decomposition products possible. Fight fire from safe
distance/protected location. Heat may build pressure/rupture closed
containers, spreading fire, increasing risk of burns/injuries. Do not
use solid water stream/may spread fire. Use water spraying/fog for
cooling. Avoid frothing/explosion. Avoid direct personal contact with
liquid even after fire is out to prevent potentially serious burns.
Notify authorities if liquid enters sewer/public waters.
07. HEALTH HAZARDS
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
INHALATION
No significant adverse health effects are expected to occur at standard
conditions due to the low volatility of this material. However,
aerosols, or vapors which may be generated at elevated processing
temperatures, may result in respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may
include sore throat, coughing or shortness of breath. Prolonged or
repeated exposure to vapors or aerosols may result in headache, nausea,
drowsiness and weakness.
EYE CONTACT -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known
to exist, this material is expected to cause slight eye irritation.
Symptoms of irritation may include redness, tearing or excessive
blinking.
SKIN ABSORPTION
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known
to exist, this material is not expected to be a health hazard by skin
absorption.
SKIN IRRITATION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known
to exist, this material is expected to be a slight skin irritant.
Symptoms may include slight localized redness or rash and swelling.
INGESTION
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data is known to
exist, this material is not expected to be an ingestion hazard.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
No additional medical information found.
08. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT / CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
No occupational exposure standards have been developed for this
material. Where exposure through inhalation may occur from use,
NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment is recommended.
EYE PROTECTION
Eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must
be worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or
spraying liquid, airborne particles, or vapor. Contact lenses should
not be worn.
SKIN PROTECTION
Depending on the conditions of use, protective gloves, apron, boots,
head and face protection should be worn. This equipment should be
cleaned thoroughly after each use.
Use nitrile or natural rubber gloves/skin protection.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
If handling results in aerosol or vapor generation, local exhaust
ventilation is recommended.
OTHER HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in
the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure.
OTHER WORK PRACTICES
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating,
drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled
clothing/wash thoroughly before reuse. Shower after work using plenty
of soap and water.
09. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID
INHALATION
If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air immediately. Give
oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain emergency medical
attention. Prompt action is essential.
EYE CONTACT
In case of eye contact, immediately rinse with clean water for 20-30
minutes. Retract eyelids often. Obtain emergency medical attention if
pain, blinking, tears or redness persist.
SKIN CONTACT

Remove contaminated clothing as needed. Wash skin thoroughly with mild
soap/water. Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If sticky, use
waterless cleaner first.
INGESTION
Not expected to present a significant ingestion hazard under anticipated
conditions of normal use. However, if ingested, obtain emergency
medical attention.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Treat symptomatically.
10. SPILL AND DISPOSAL
PRECAUTIONS IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED
Evacuate/limit access. Prevent flow to sewers/public waters. Impound/
recover large land spill; soak up small spill. On water, material
insoluble. Contain/minimize dispersion/collect. Report per regulatory
requirements.
Liquid may be slippery--use granular cover.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS
When discarded in its purchased form, this product is not a RCRA
hazardous waste. However, it is the responsibility of the generator to
determine at the time of disposal whether the product meets the
criteria of a hazardous waste. Comply with all applicable federal,
state and local regulations. Waste disposal options include landfilling
solids at permitted sites. Use registered transporters.
Burn concentrated waste in properly designed combustion systems
compatible with highly viscous liquids. Avoid flameouts and assure that
emissions comply with all applicable standards. Wastewater containing
floating polybutadiene resins must not be fed to any biomass unless
floating resin is first removed. Assure that any effluent from
biotreatment complies with all applicable regulations.
11. ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURES
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry,
well ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, and
oxidizing agents. Protect from freezing. If frozen, thaw (without
overheating) and mix before reuse.
If heating is necessary due to product freezing or to facilitate
material flow during use, use care to avoid localized overheating,
possible degredation and container overpressure may occur. Do NOT use
electric band heater to heat product--hot spots may be created and
autopolymerization may occur. Avoid spillage of product to prevent
