EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Dry Chemical.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES; Avoid extinguishing methods, which may generate dust clouds. Water
stream can disperse dust into air, producing a fire hazard and possible explosion hazard if exposed to ignition source.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Polymer dust is combustible. The explosive limits of the polymer particles suspended in air are approximately those of
coal dust.
Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
5. HEALTH HAZARD AND PROTECTION DATA

PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (PEL):
For polymer: NE. For decomposition product, Ethyl Methacrylate Monomer: 100 ppm suggested
TOXICITY DATA:
For Polymer: None Listed. RTECS: Not listed. TSCA: Listed.
For decomposition product, Ethyl Methacrylate Monomer: LC Lo Acute Oral Rat: 13,486 mg/kg.
LD50 Acute Dermal Rabbit: >10,000 mg/kg. LC50 Acute Inhalation Rat: 8300 Subcutaneous Rat : 25gm/kg.
6. FIRST AID MEASURES:
SKIN; Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Contact a physician if discomfort persists.
EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes including under eyelids. Get medical help if discomfort persists.
INGESTION: Rinse mouth out with water. Call Dr if amount was large.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Give oxygen or artificial respiration if not breathing. Get medical attention.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Chemical Splash Goggles or Safety Glasses Impervious, nitrile gloves
Self-contained breathing apparatus when needed. Provide eyewash, safety shower and impervious clothing. Use
good local ventilation exhaust is preferred since it prevents dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its
source.

Ingestion may cause anesthetic effects such as dizziness, headache, confusion,
Skin:
incoordination, and loss of consciousness
Digestive Tract
Inhalation may cause irritation of the resp tract with coughing, of non
Respiratory Tract:
specific discomfort i.e. nausea, headache & weakness.
Animal Studies
Administered lethal oral doses include weakness, labored and irregular
respiration, dorp in arterial blood pressure and coma.
8. SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES
Evacuate the hazard area of unprotected personnel. Eliminate sources of ignition. Use self-contained breathing apparatus
and protective clothing. Dike and absorb with inert material. Transfer to proper containers for disposal, use non-sparking
tools. Contaminated monomer may be unstable, add inhibitor to prevent polymerization. Keep spills and cleaning runoffs
out of sewers and open bodies of water. Spills on porous surfaces can contaminate the groundwater.
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS:
Aquatic Toxicity: For Methacrylate Monomer: In fish Estimate of 96 hours median Threshold.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: When discarded it is listed as a hazardous waste by the EPA under RCRA U-162 with the
reportable quantity of 1000 pound (40 CFR Part 302). Incinerate liquid and diking material after addition of excess
inhibitor. Consult and comply with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning any release of hazardous materials into
the water, water piping systems, ground, or air. Consult and comply with Federal, State and local regulations concerning
removal of waste.
