Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid. Flash Point: 70 deg C.
Danger! May cause burns by all exposure routes. May be fatal if mist inhaled. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Combustible liquid and vapor. Light sensitive. Reactive monomer. Store under refrigeration to preserve product quality. Product polymerizes gradually at room temperature; at elevated temperatures, polymerization may occur rapidly enough to generate heat and pressure.
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, mucous membranes.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin: May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Causes severe skin irritation and possible burns.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be fatal if exposed to high concentrations.
Chronic: Chronic exposure may cause effects similar to those of acute exposure.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures


Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures


General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fire or excessive heat may result in violent rupture of the container due to bulk polymerization. Combustible liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Flash Point: 70 deg C ( 158.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 255 deg C ( 491.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.20 vol %
Upper: .00 vol %
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 2; Instability: 2

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures


General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage


Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Keep away from heat and flame. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Pure vapor will be uninhibited and may polymerize in vents or other confined spaces.
Storage: Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4°C/39°F.)

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection


Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.

Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity


Chemical Stability: May polymerize on exposure to light. Stable only if stored and handled under recommended conditions. The stability of the product depends upon the availability of both dissolved oxygen and MEHQ inhibitor(CAS=150-76-5). The presence of oxygen is necessary for the MEHQ to function effectively The product should never be stored under an inert gas atmosphere, but should always be stored under an atmosphere containing 5-21% oxygen by volume. This material is a monomer and may polymerize under certain conditions if the stabilizer is lost. Liquid stable in the presence of an inhibitor. Vapor may polymerize explosively.
Conditions to Avoid: Light, ignition sources, excess heat, loss of inhibitor, contamination.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, peroxides, heavy metals, polymerization catalysts.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: May occur.
