Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
No data available for hexanediol dimethacrylate as (CAS: 6606-59-3)
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
INGREDIENT DATA
HEXANEDIOL DIMETHACRYLATE:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.
CEL TWA: 1 mg/m鲁 [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).
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
鈥? Safety glasses with side shields.
鈥? Chemical goggles.
鈥? Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them. DO NOT wear contact lenses.

the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information

Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to
obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed
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., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min)
evaporating from tank (in still air)
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers,
welding, spray drift, plating acid
fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
high speed wheel generated dusts
(released at high initial velocity into
zone of very high rapid air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 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 (e.g
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.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC
Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort
characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
There exists limited evidence that shows that skin contact with the material is
capable either of inducing a sensitisation reaction in a significant number of
individuals, and/or of producing positive response in experimental animals. As
with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of
vapour, mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should
be avoided by observing good occupational work practice.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects
of Chemical Substances
HEXANEDIOL DIMETHACRYLATE:
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.
Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
