HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PRACTICES.
MELT PROCESSING RELEASES VAPORS WHICH MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT
IRRITATION
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. As a
finished product, it is a synthetic, high molecular weight polymer. Due to its chemical and physical properties, this
material does not require special handling other than the good industrial hygiene and safety practices employed with
any industrial material of this type. Under normal processing conditions, this material will release fume or vapor.
Components of these releases may vary with processing time and temperatures. These process releases may
produce eye, skin and/or respiratory tract irritation and, with repeated or prolonged exposures, nausea, drowsiness,
headache and weakness.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
IN CASE OF CONTACT, flush the area with plenty of water. Remove material from clothing. Wash clothing
before reuse.
IF SWALLOWED, induce vomiting as directed by medical personnel. Get medical attention. NEVER GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
IF INHALED, remove to fresh air.

Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to products of combustion should wear full fire fighting turn out
gear (full Bunker Gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure demand NIOSH approved or
equivalent). Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
When burned, the following hazardous products of combustion can occur: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Contain spill. Sweep or scoop up and remove to suitable container. Consult a regulatory specialist to
determine appropriate state or local reporting requirements, for assistance in waste characterization and/or
hazardous waste disposal and other requirements listed in pertinent environmental permits.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Avoid breathing processing fumes or vapors. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices. These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and removal of material from eyes, skin
and clothing. Process using adequate ventilation. Keep container closed.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. This material is not hazardous under normal storage conditions; however, material
should be stored in closed containers, in a secure area to prevent container damage and subsequent
spillage.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures. Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize

8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
exposure. Dilution ventilation is acceptable, but local mechanical exhaust ventilation preferred, if practical, at
sources of air contamination such as open process equipment.
Eye / Face Protection
Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.
Skin Protection
Minimize skin contamination by following good industrial hygiene practice. Wearing protective gloves is
recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Where airborne exposure is likely, use NIOSH approved respiratory
protection equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components. If exposures cannot be kept at a
minimum with engineering controls, consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment
for given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For
emergency and other conditions where there may be a potential for significant exposure, use an approved full
face positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with auxiliary self-
contained air supply. Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR ?1910.134.
Airborne Exposure Guidelines for Ingredients
Exposure Limit Value
Methyl acrylate
ACGIH Sensitizer Designator - Y
ACGIH Skin designator - Y
ACGIH TWA - 2 ppm
OSHA Skin designator - Y
OSHA TWA PEL - 10 ppm (35 mg/m3)
-Only those components with exposure limits are printed in this section.
-Skin contact limits designated with a "Y" above have skin contact effect. Air sampling alone is insufficient to accurately quantitate
exposure. Measures to prevent significant cutaneous absorption may be required.
-ACGIH Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic reactions.
-WEEL-AIHA Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic skin reactions.
