product.
108-05-4: vinyl acetate
Personal protective equipment
Hand protection:
Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact
(Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to
EN 374): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) and other
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove
manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.
temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
General safety and hygiene measures:
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

12. Ecological information
Ecotoxicity
Assessment of aquatic toxicity:
There is a high probability that the product is not acutely harmful to aquatic organisms. The inhibition
of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced to biological
treatment plants in appropriate low concentrations. The product has not been tested. The statement
has been derived from products of a similar structure and composition.
Toxicity to fish:
LC50 (96 h) > 10,000 mg/l, Leuciscus idus (DIN 38412 Part 15, static)
The details of the toxic effect relate to the nominal concentration.
Assessment biodegradation and elimination (H2O):
Not readily biodegradable (by OECD criteria). Poorly biodegradable. The product has not been
tested. The statement has been derived from products of a similar structure and composition.
Elimination information:
< 20 % BOD of COD (28 d) (OECD Guideline 301 F) (aerobic, activated sludge)
