Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear, colorless liquid. Flash Point: 46 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and
vapor. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. 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: Central nervous system,
respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS depression. Causes
gastrointestinal tract irritation.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation at high
concentrations may cause CNS depression and asphixiation.
Chronic:
No information found.
|
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.
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:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. 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. Flammable liquid and
vapor. Fire or excessive heat may result in violent rupture of the
container due to bulk polymerization. Vapors are heavier than air and
may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread
along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. This liquid
floats on water and may travel to a source of ignition and spread
fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or regular foam.
Flash Point: 46 deg C ( 114.80 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. 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. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container
tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Use with
adequate ventilation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open
flames. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Pure vapor will be uninhibited
and may polymerize in vents or other confined spaces.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Refrigerator/flammables.
|
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 general or
local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to
acceptable levels.

Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use. Follow the OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or
European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or
European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if
exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or
other symptoms are experienced.

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
Conditions to Avoid:
Light, ignition sources, excess heat, loss of inhibitor.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials:
Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon
dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: May occur.

process. Will significantly volatilize from water. Expected to exist
almost entirely in the vapor phase in the atmosphere. Will be
susceptible to photooxidation.
