SECTION III – HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
|
Color: |
bluish, highly turbid |
|
Appearance: |
low-viscosity |
|
Odor: |
sweet, ester-like |
Flammable liquid and vapor.
May cause sensitization by skin contact.
May be ignited by heat, sparks or flame.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash
back.
Danger of bursting of closed systems due to vigorous
exothermic polymerization.
Avoid uncontrolled polymerization.
Container may explode when heated.
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term
adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
May be irritating to respiratory system and skin.
Primary Routes of Exposure – Inhalation and skin contact.
Potential Health Effects:
Inhalation -
May cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Eye Contact –
May cause eye irritation.
Skin contact -
May cause irritation and sensitization of the skin. Not expected to be absorbed through the skin
in toxic amounts.
Ingestion -
Expected to be slightly toxic by ingestion.
Chronic Effects - No chronic (long-term) effects are known for humans.
Aggravated Medical Conditions - Conjunctivitis of the eye, dermatitis of the skin,
asthma and respiratory diseases.
Potential Environmental Effects - See SECTION XII, Ecological Information
SECTION IV – FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid Procedures
Inhalation –
Remove to fresh air. If irritation
persists, call a physician. Administer
oxygen if breathing is difficult. Apply
artificial respiration if victim is not breathing.
Eye Contact –
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20
minutes. Hold eyelids apart during
flushing to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the eye with water. Obtain medical attention if irritation
develops or persists. DO NOT WEAR
CONTACT LENSES WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT.
Skin Contact –
In case of contact, wash skin with water and soap. If irritation persists, call a physician.
Ingestion –Do
NOT induce vomiting. Call a

OSHA Flammability Classification |
Flammable
liquid |
Other Flammable Properties – Vapors are heavier than air and can form an
explosive mixture with air. Never use
welding or cutting torches on or near containers or drums (even when
empty). Product residue or vapor in
drums or container can ignite explosively.
Cool warm or bulging containers to ambient temperature with water from a
safe distance. Then wear eye and face
protection and protective clothing while carefully opening bung to vent
pressure.
Extinguishing Media – Use the following extinguishing media when fighting
fires involving this material:
alcohol-resistant foam – dry chemical – carbon dioxide.
Fire Fighting Procedures – Evacuate enclosed and surrounding areas. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing
apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear. Use water spray to cool
containers exposed to fire and disperse vapors.
Keep spills away from sources of ignition.
SECTION VI –
ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE MEASURES
Procedures – Remove sources of ignition and ventilate area. All equipment used when handling the product
must be grounded. Absorb spill with
inert material and place in a chemical waste container. Obey relevant local, state, provincial and
federal laws and regulations. Do not
contaminate any lakes, streams, ponds, groundwater or soil. See Section VIII, Exposure Controls/Personal
Protection.
SECTION VII
– HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling – Product is supplied in a stabilized form. Stir well before decanting from drum. Open container carefully as it may be
pressurized. Use portable ventilation if
necessary at job site. Ground and bond
containers when transferring material.
Keep container tightly closed.
Use explosion-proof equipment. Do
not eat, drink, smoke or chew tobacco around material.
Storage – Keep in the original container at a temperature not
exceeding 25° C (77° F). Do not store in
direct sunlight. Keep away from
heat. Keep away from sparks, flames and
other sources of ignition. Keep container
closed when not in use. Ensure the area
is well ventilated. Limit storage of
flammable liquids to approved areas equipped with overhead sprinklers. Protect material from contamination (refer to
Section X for incompatibilities). Fill
the container by approximately 80% only as oxygen (air) is required for
stabilization. With large storage
containers make sure the oxygen (air) supply is sufficient to ensure
stability. Residual vapors might explode
on ignition; do not apply heat, cut, drill, grind or weld on or near this
container.

Engineering Controls (Ventilation) – Provide general and/or exhaust ventilation to
maintain airborne levels below the exposure limits in Section VIII. Refer to the current edition of ‘Industrial
Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended
Practice’ published by the American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists
for information on the design, installation, use, and maintenance of exhaust
systems.
Respiratory Protection – A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA
1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 or applicable federal/provincial requirements must be
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use. NIOSH’s “Respirator Decision Logic” may be
useful in determining the suitability of various types of respirators.
Eye Protection – Use safety glasses with side shields.
Skin Protection – On handling of larger quantities: face mask, chemical-resistant boots and
apron.
Hand Protection – Butyl rubber gloves.
Gloves should be replaced regularly, especially after extended contact
with the product. For each work-place a
suitable glove type has to be selected.
Other Protective Equipment – A safety shower and eye wash fountain should be
readily available. To identify
additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements, it is recommended
that a hazard assessment in accordance with the OSHA PPE Standard
(29CFR1910.132) be conducted before using this product.
