Chemical Safety
0091 ACRYLAMIDE
IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
WHITE CRYSTALS. The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation,
through the skin and by ingestion.
Chemical dangers
Inhalation risk
The substance will polymerize violently due to heating above 85/C
or under the influence of light and oxidants. Evaporation at 20/C is negligible; a harmful concentration of
airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly.
Occupational exposure limits
TLV: 0.03 mg/m 3 as TWA; (skin); A3 (confirmed animal Effects of short-term exposure

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the nervous system,
resulting in peripheral nerve damage. This substance is probably
carcinogenic to humans. May cause heritable genetic damage in
humans.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Melting point: 84.5/C Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.45
Density: 1.13 g/cm3 Flash point: 138/C c.c.

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to fish.
NOTES
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
Do NOT take working clothes home.
