SECTION-3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
For Polymer: May irritate eyes, skin and respiratory track.
WARNING:
For Polymer: OSHA classifies this material as Particulates, Not
Otherwise Classified.
Eyes: May be irritated by gross overexposure, no matter how
Generated. Keep dust out of eyes..
Skin: May be irritated by gross overexposure, no matter how
Generated. May cause dryness.
Respiratory Tract: May be irritated by gross overexposure, no matter how
Generated.
For Trade Secret: No data available. No irritation expected.
For Descomposition Products:
Ethyl Methacrylate:
Acute Hazards: Eyes: Eye contact may cause irritation with discomfort, tearing,
Or blurring of vision.
Respiratory Tract: Inhalation may cause irritation of the respiratory tract with
Coughing, of nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea,
Headache and or weakness.
Skin: Effects in humans include skin irritation with disconfort or
Allergic skin rashes.
Digestive Tract: Ingestion may cause anesthetic effects such as dizzines,
Headache, confusion, incoordination, and loss of
Consciousness.
Symptoms: May include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing,
Laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and
Vomiting.
Chronic Hazards: Skin: May cause allergic skin rashes.
Animal Studies: Administered lethal oral doses include weakness, labored
And irregular respiration, drop in arterial blood pressure
And coma.
None of the components of this material are listed by
