SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW WARNING - Irritating to respiratory system. May cause sensitization by skin
contact. May be irritating to eyes and skin. Unstable/Reactive upon depletion of
inhibitor.
Physical Hazards: Unstable/Reactive upon depletion of inhibitor. Check inhibitor levels
periodically.
Acute Health Hazards:
Eyes: May cause irritation with symptoms including burning sensation, tearing, redness or
swelling.
Skin: This material may cause skin irritation and sensitization. May cause delayed skin
irritation and blistering. Extensive/prolonged or repeated exposure to this material
may result in absorption.
Inhalation: No human or animal effects are known to exist but suspect slight respiratory tract
irritation hazard if used at elevated temperatures or processes which generate an
aerosol or mist. Symptoms of irritation may include coughing, mucous production
and shortness of breath.
Ingestion: No human or animal effects are known to exist but suspect ingestion hazard.
Chronic Health Effects: None Listed.
Carcinogenicity: Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate may contain trace amounts of substances known to
the state of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity. None of the
other components of this material are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH as
carcinogens.
Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Skin or Eyes.
Conditions Aggravated
by Exposure: This material or its emissions may induce an allergic or sensitization reaction and
thereby aggravate systemic disease.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYES: If product gets in the eyes, flush with copious amounts of lukewarm water for at
least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs, contact a physician.
INGESTION: If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water or milk IMMEDIATELY. If
the patient is vomiting, continue to offer water or milk. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Provide an estimate of the time at which the
material was ingested and the amount of the substance that was swallowed. Get
medical attention immediately.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention.
SKIN: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, followed by a thorough washing of the
effected area with soap and water. If irritation, redness or swelling persists, contact
a physician immediately.
CLOTHING: Remove contaminated clothing, wash thoroughly before reuse.
TREATMENT: Treat symptoms conventionally, after thorough decontamination.

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: 253 F / 123 C (PMCC)
FLAMMABLE LIMIT, AIR VOL% LOWER: NE
UPPER: NE
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: NE
EXTINGUISHER METHOD: Chemical foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: High temperatures, inhibitor depletion, accidental impurities, or
exposure to radiation or oxidizers may cause spontaneous
polymerizing reaction generating heat/pressure. Closed containers
may rupture or explode during a runaway polymerization. Use a
water spray or fog to reduce or direct vapors. Water may not be
effective in actually extinguishing a fire involving this product.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: When involved in a fire, this product may ignite and decompose to
produce carbon oxides. Do not enter fire area without proper
protection. Fight fire from a safe location. Heat/impurities may
cause pressure to build and/or rupture closed containers,
spreading fire, increasing risk of burns/injuries. Structural
firefighters must wear SCBAs and full protective equipment.
SENSITIVE TO MECHANICAL IMPACT: No.
SENSITIVE TO STATIC DISCHARGE: No.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE:
Before cleaning any spill or leak, individuals involved must wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (e.g., goggles, gloves). Deny entry to all unprotected individuals. Dike and contain spill
with inert material (e.g. sand or earth). Maximize ventilation (open doors and windows) and secure
all sources of ignition. Place into appropriate closed container(s) for disposal in accordance with
local, state and federal regulations. Wash all affected areas with plenty of warm water and soap.
Remove any contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse. Keep spills and cleaning
runoffs out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.

SECTION 7- HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING: Use good, local ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 100
ft/min (30 m/min) at point of monomer release. Refer to Industrial
Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice published by the
American Conference of Governmental Hygienist. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes and clothing. Use good personal hygiene and
housekeeping. Observe precautions found on label. Do NOT use
localized heat source such as band heaters to heat/melt product.
Do NOT use steam. Hot boxes or hot rooms are recommended for
heating the product which can be set at a maximum temperature of
60篊/140篎
PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE: Store containers in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight,
heat, sparks, flame, other light sources, or sources of intense heat.
Keep container closed after each use. Check inhibitor levels
periodically, adding to the bulk material if needed. Maintain at a
minimum, the original 2-inch headspace in the product container
and do not blanket or mix with oxygen-free gas as it renders the
inhibitor ineffective.
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICES: Avoid prolonged contact with the product. Use in a well-ventilated
location (e.g., local exhaust ventilation, fans). After use, wash
hands and exposed skin with soap and water. Do not eat, drink or
smoke while handling product.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION: Refer to Section 7 regarding the ventilation requirements for
working with this product. Use local exhaust at processing
equipment, including buffers, sanders, grinders and polishers.
High temperature processing equipment should be well ventilated.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A respirator should be worn whenever workplace conditions
warrant a respirators use. A respirator is recommended if using at
elevated temperatures or under mist forming conditions. If
necessary, use only respiratory protection authorized per U.S.
OSHA's requirement in 29 CFR ?910.134 or other appropriate
governing standard.
EYE PROTECTION: Depending on the use of this product, splash or safety glasses
should be worn. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR
?910.133, or other appropriate governing standard. Ensure that
an eyewash station, sink or washbasin is available in case of
exposure to eyes.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear chemical resistant gloves for routine industrial use. If
necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR ?910.138, or other
appropriate governing standards.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: No special body protection is required under typical circumstances
of use and handling. If necessary, refer to appropriate governing
standards. An eyewash station and a safety shower are
recommended.
