EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Regulated as a toxic chemical under Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments
And Reauthorization Act of 1986 and CFR part 372.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE CONTACT: Liquid and vapors can cause moderate irritation.
INHALATION: High concentration is irritant to the respiratory tract and may cause
dizziness, headache, and anesthetic effects.
SKIN CONTACT: May cause skin irritation.
INGESTION: Causes irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth, throat and
gastrointestinal tract and abdominal pain.
CHRONIC EFFECTS / CARCINOGENICITY: Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause liver,
kidney, and heart damage. Unlikely to present a cancer hazard to man.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECT) INFORMATION: Developmental toxicity observed in animal tests
but only at toxic levels to the mother.

REPRODUCTION INFORMATION: No information available but no adverse reproductive effects
are anticipated.

Product: Met-X Liquid
Section 4. First Aid Measures
INHALATION: Move to fresh air. Get medical attention.
EYE CONTACT :Immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT :Immediately wash with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses of water. Get medical
attention.
Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
FLASH POINT: 11.5c/52.7f METHOD USED:
FLAMMABLE LIMITS
LFL: 2.1 UFL: 12.5
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2, dry chemical, water spray (by trained personnel)
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Fine mists are explosive below the flash point. Vapor forms
explosive mixture with air. Vapors may travel to ignition sources and flash back. Sealed
containers may rupture explosively.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Evacuate personnel, ventilate. Remove sources of ignition. Dike spill. Prevent material
from entering sewers, waterways, or low areas. Soak up with sand, oil dry or other
absorbent non-combustible material.
Cleaned up material is a RCRA Hazardous Waste.

Product: Met-X Liquid
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Do not breathe vapor or mist. Close container after each use. Ground container when
Pouring. Vapors are uninhibited and may form polymers in vents or flame arresters,
Resulting in blockage of vents. Store in a cool place. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
Store in a well ventilated area.
Section 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Keep container tightly closed. Use appropriate ventilation.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use a NIOSH/MSHA respirator with an organic vapor cartridge.
Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if the potential exists for an
uncontrolled release.
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear impervious gloves, boots, and apron.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses, goggles, face shield.

Section 10. Stability and Reactivity
CHEMICAL STABILITY: Unstable with heat
INCOMPATIBILITY: Oxidizing or reducing agents. Material can soften paints and rubber.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: CO, CO2, smoke
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: May occur. Caused by; excessive heat, storage in absence of
Inhibitor, inadvertent addition of catalyst, contamination
Section 11. Toxicological Information
EYE: High vapor concentration will cause irritation.
SKIN: Irritating to skin. May cause sensitization by contact, repeated or prolonged
contact may cause dermatitis.
INGESTION: Low oral toxicity. May cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.
Page 5
Product: Met-X Liquid
INHALATION: Irritating to the respiratory system.
CHRONIC: Repeated exposure to high levels produces adverse effects on the heart, lungs,
Liver and kidneys. Repeated exposure of animals by inhalation to levels at or above the
Occupational exposure level produce adverse effects on the nasal epithelium (levels of
100 and 400 ppm) There is no reason to believe that methyl methacralate represents a
carcinogenic or mutagenic hazard to man based upon evidence from well conducted animal
studies, relevant mutagenicity studies and adequate epidemiologist studies in relevant
cohorts. Recent studies in animals have shown that high exposures do not produce embryo
or feototoxic nor tetratogenic effects in the presence of maternal toxicity. None of
these effects are likely to occur in humans provided exposure is maintained at or
below the occupational exposure limit.
Section 12. Ecological Information
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE and DISTRIBUTION: High tonnage material produced in wholly contained
systems. Liquid with moderate volatility. Sparingly soluble in water. Product has low
potential for bioaccumulation. The product is predicted to have high mobility in soil.
PERSISTENCE and DEGRADATION: Not readily biodegradable. Chemical oxygen demand (COD)
88%(28days). Inherent biodegradation: Dissolved Organic Carbon Removal (DOC removal)
>95%(28Days). Low toxicity to fish, low toxicity to algae, harmful to aquatic
invertebrates.
EFFECT on EFFLUENT TREATMENT: Product is substantially removed in biological treatment
processes.
Section 13. Disposal Considerations
Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Do not flush to
surface water or sanitary sewer systems. Do not allow material to contaminate ground
water systems.
