Emergency Overview: WARNING! Flammable. Harmful. Skin Sensitizer. Irritant.
Route of Exposure: Eyes. Skin. Inhalation. Ingestion.
Potential Health Effects:
Eye: Can cause moderate irritation, burning sensation, tearing, redness, and
swelling. Overexposure may cause lacrimation, conjunctivitis, corneal
damage and permanent injury.
Skin: Can cause skin irritation; itching, redness, rashes, hives, burning, and

MSDS
Inhalation: Respiratory tract irritant. High concentration may cause dizziness,
headache, and anesthetic effects. May cause respiratory sensitization with
asthma-like symptoms in susceptible individuals.
Ingestion: Causes irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth, throat and
gastrointestinal tract and abdominal pain.
Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged skin contact may lead to burning associated with severe
reddening, swelling, and possible tissue destruction
Signs/Symptoms: Overexposure can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
Target Organs: Eyes. Skin. Respiratory system. Digestive system. Liver Kidney Olfactory
Function.
Aggravation of Pre-Existing Individuals with pre-existing skin disorders, asthma, allergies or known
Conditions: sensitization may be more susceptible to the effects of this product.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
Ensure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers.
Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately wash skin with plenty of soap and water for 15 to 20 minutes,
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or
give oxygen by trained personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control
center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
Other First Aid: Due to possible aspiration into the lungs, DO NOT induce vomiting if
ingested. Provide a glass of water to dilute the material in the stomach. If
vomiting occurs naturally, have the person lean forward to reduce the risk
of aspiration.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties: Flammable. Fine mists explosive below flash point.
Flash Point: 50癋 (10癈)
Flash Point Method: Tag closed cup (TCC)
Auto Ignition Temperature: Not determined.
Lower Flammable/Explosive 2.1%
Limit:
Upper Flammable/Explosive 12.5%
Limit:
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area of unprotected personnel. Use cold water spray to cool fire
exposed containers to minimize risk of rupture. Do not enter confined fire
space without full protective gear. If possible, contain fire run-off water.
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide (CO2) or dry chemical when fighting fires involving this
material.
Unsuitable Media: Water may cause frothing.
Protective Equipment: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Unusual Fire Hazards: Sealed containers at elevated temperatures may rupture explosively and
spread fire due to polymerization.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
http://www.actiocms.com/view_msds/msdsdisplaycod...THORING2&language=1&CFID=841855&CFTOKEN=31596360 (2 of 7)6/25/2007 4:41:39 PM
MSDS
Spill Cleanup Measures: Absorb spill with inert material (e,g., dry sand or earth), then place in a
chemical waste container. Provide ventilation. Collect spill with a non-
sparking tool. Place into a suitable container for disposal. Clean up spills
immediately observing precautions in the protective equipment section.
After removal, flush spill area with soap and water to remove trace residue.
Flammable, eliminate ignition sources. Vapors can form an ignitable mixture
with air. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash
back. Ventilate area. Use proper personal protective equipment as listed in
section 8.
Personnel Precautions: Evacuate area and keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering the spill area.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid runoff into storm sewers, ditches, and waterways.
Other Precautions: Pump or shovel to storage/salvage vessels. Add inhibitor to prevent
polymerization.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor, aerosol or mist.
Material will accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark
(ignition source). Use proper grounding procedures. Do not reuse containers
without proper cleaning or reconditioning.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat,
combustible materials, direct sunlight, and incompatible substances. Keep
container tightly closed when not in use.
Special Handling Procedures: Provide appropriate ventilation/respiratory protection against decomposition
products (see Section 10) during welding/flame cutting operations and to
protect against dust during sanding/grinding of cured product. Hazardous
liquid or vapor residue may remain in emptied container. Do not reuse,
heat, burn, pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, expose to
sparks, flame, or ignition sources of empty containers without proper
commercial cleaning or reconditioning.
Hygiene Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION - EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
Engineering Controls: Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local
exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels
below recommended exposure limits. Good general ventilation should be
sufficient to control airborne levels. Where such systems are not effective
wear suitable personal protective equipment, which performs satisfactorily
and meets OSHA or other recognized standards. Consult with local
procedures for selection, training, inspection and maintenance of the
personal protective equipment.
Eye/Face Protection: Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles as described by 29
CFR 1910.133, OSHA eye and face protection regulation, or the European
standard EN 166.
Skin Protection Description: Wear appropriate protective gloves and other protective apparel to prevent
skin contact. Consult manufacturer's data for permeability data.
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge
or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided
by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied
respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure
levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying
respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Other Protective: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an
eyewash and a deluge shower safety station.
