3 - Hazards Identification
IRRITATING TO EYES, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AND SKIN
MAY CAUSE SENSITISATION BY SKIN CONTACT
Do not breathe fumes/vapour.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.
Wear suitable gloves.
Prolonged or repeated over-exposure may lead to sensitising effects and/or dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
4 - First-aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and rest. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If recovery is
not rapid call for prompt medical attention.
Eyes: In case of accidental eye contact, avoid concurrent exposure to the sun or other
sources of UV light that may increase the sensitivity of the eyes. Remove contact
lenses if easily and quickly possible. Immediately irrigate with water for at least 15
minutes, holding eyelids apart. Take care not to wash chemical from one eye to
another. Get prompt medical attention.
Skin: In case of accidental skin contact, avoid concurrent exposure to the sun or other sources of
UV light that may increase the sensitivity of the skin. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Wash with soap/cleanser and rinse with plenty of water. If irritation persists, obtain
medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink. Beware of aspiration if vomiting
occurs - seek medical attention immediately.

5 - Fire-fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishers: Alcohol resistant foam Dry powder Carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishers: Direct water jets
Hazardous Decomposition: Product may polymerise when exposed to UV light or at high temperature.
Polymerisation is highly exothermic and may produce sufficient heat to
cause thermal decomposition and/or rupture of the container. Thermal
decomposition can lead to the evolution of noxious and irritant fumes.
Possible fire hazard - CO, CO2, oxides of nitrogen possibly evolved, as well
as dense, black, acrid smoke.
Special Procedures: Keep container cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire.
Do not breathe decomposition products and fumes.
Use approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
Wear fire retardant clothing. Wear eye/face protection.
Prevent runoff from fire control from entering waterways.
Large fires should only be dealt with by trained personnel.
6 - Accidental Release Measures
Exposure Controls: Ventilate area.
Evacuate all personnel. Use barriers to prevent unauthorised entry
into contaminated areas.
Do not allow spill to enter drains and watercourses.
Personal Protection: Wear suitable respiratory protection for large spillages and in confined
spaces, e.g. EN405 FFA2 or EN140 A2.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Wear nitrile or viton gloves. Do not use latex (natural rubber) or PVC
gloves, as they absorb acrylates.
Wear chemically resistant overalls and boots
Wear eye protection such as goggles to BS EN 166 Chemical Grade.
Disposal Considerations: Absorb in inert material such as sand or absorbent granules
Scoop up and place in plastic container to await transfer
Dispose in accordance with local regulations
7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid excessive inhalation of vapour - ensure adequate
ventilation. Use local extraction if using for prolonged periods.
Wear nitrile or viton gloves. Do not use latex (natural rubber) or PVC gloves, as they
absorb acrylates.
Wear eye protection - safety glasses. If handling large quantities, wear suitable
protective clothing. Do not use near heat, sparks or sources of ignition. Do not eat,
drink or smoke in the application area. Do not return product that has been exposed
to light to the original container.
Storage: Store in tightly closed, labelled containers. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
o
out of direct sunlight. Keep away from raised temperatures (>50 C) and sources of
ignition. Keep away from oxidising agents and from strong acids/alkalis. Can be
stored in stainless steel, or opaque polyethylene or glass containers. Do not allow
to contact or store in aluminium, mild steel, rusty steel, copper (or alloys of) or tin
vessels.

8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
3
Occupational Exposure Limit: OES for methacrylic acid is 20ppm (72mg/m ) 8hr TWA and 40ppm
3
(43mg/m ) 15min STEL (EH40/2002).
Wear nitrile or viton gloves. Do not use latex (natural rubber) or PVC gloves,
as they absorb acrylates. Replace gloves immediately when torn or any
change in appearance (dimension, colour, flexibility, etc.) is noticed.
Wear eye protection ?safety glasses.
After skin contact, wash immediately with plenty of water. If handling large
quantities, wear suitable protective clothing. Remove contaminated clothing
and shoes immediately. Do not wear contaminated clothing.
Use in well ventilated areas. Use local exhaust ventilation if exposed for long
periods. If excessive inhalation in a poorly ventilated area is likely then use
a respirator with filter type A.

10 - Stability and Reactivity
Stable at normal temperatures.
o
Conditions to avoid: Elevated temperatures (>50 C), UV-light sources, direct sunlight, sources of ignition,
low oxygen environments. Hazardous exothermic polymerisation can occur if
exposed to these conditions. Air space/oxygen above the product is vital to keep
formulatory inhibitors active.
Materials to avoid: Oxidising agents, free-radical initiators, strong alkalis, reducing metal oxides. Do not
allow to contact or store in aluminium, mild steel, rusty steel, copper (or alloys of) or
tin vessels. Hazardous exothermic polymerisation can occur if exposed to these
materials.
Hazardous decomposition products: Combustion/exothermic polymerisation will generate oxides
of carbon and nitrogen, acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

11 - Toxicological Information
Acute toxicity: Oral ?Expected to be very low - LD50(rat) is likely to be in the range 3,000-
10,000mg/kg. Ingestion may cause nausea, weakness and CNS depression
Inhalation ? Expected to be low.
Skin ?Expected to be low ?LD50 (rabbit) estimated to be >2,000mg/kg
Corrosivity/irritation: Eyes ?Causes irritation. Conjunctival irritation and temporary corneal injury
possible. Profuse eye watering and redness.
Skin ?Causes irritation and redness at site of contact. Prolonged or
repeated contact may lead to itching, soreness, blistering, dermatitis, etc.
Respiratory Tract ?Causes irritation ?also of mucous membranes, nose
and throat.
Sensitisation: Skin sensitisation is possible.
Repeated-dose toxicity: Not expected - the aliphatic methacrylate ester, the 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl
acrylate* and HPMA produce no significant adverse effects by inhalation on rats
(90ppm) for 25 days.
Mutagenicity: Not expected ?trimethylolpropane triacrylate, the aliphatic methacrylate ester and
the 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acrylate* component gives negative test results.
Carcinogenicity: Not tested, but not expected.
Reproductive Toxicity: Not tested, but not expected.
12 - Ecological Information
Not classified as Dangerous for the Environment by the Conventional Method as detailed in Schedule 3, Parts I
and III of CHIP3 Regulations.
Ecotoxicity: Expected to be low - EMA has LC50 (96h,fish) of 100-576mg/l; TPGDA has LC50 (96h,
leuciscus idus) of >4.5, <10mg/l; HPMA has LC50(48h, golden ide) = 227mg/l.
Bioaccumulative potential: Expected to be low. No significant accumulation expected due to
predicted low LogPow value (likely to be <3)
Persistence: Considered to be inherently biodegradable ?TPGDA gives a theoretical biodegradability result
of 40-50% (OECD 301B).
Mobility: Considered to be low due to relatively low water solubility.
