FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, water fog (by trained personnel).
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Full protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus, is recommended. Cool containers of material exposed to heat with cold water spray.
Use of a water fog by trained personnel can avoid large amounts of water or water streams distributing burning material or contaminated water over a large area,
into sewers or storm drains. Fight fires from appropriate distance or from protected area.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Sealed containers exposed to elevated temperatures may rupture explosively due to polymerization. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to source(s) of ignition
at or near ground or lower level(s) and flash back. Susceptible to spontaneous heating. Considered a fire hazard because of low flash point. Peroxides and decomposition
products are flammable and can ignite with explosive force if confined.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTES
OF ENTRY: X Inhalation X Skin Contact Eye Contact Ingestion
EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE
ACUTE:
Inhalation: Exposure may result in nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, headache and other CNS effects. Can cause irritation of eyes and nasal passages.
Skin Contact: Skin irritant. Potential skin sensitizer. Repeated or prolonged contact may result in skin irritation, contact dermatitis, rash, itching, swelling.
Eye Contact: Direct exposure may result in irritation or burning feeling with corneal or conjuctival inflammation.
Ingestion: Moderately toxic. Do not induce vomiting. Obtain prompt medical attention.
CHRONIC:
Inhalation Toxicity described in animals exposed by inhalation include inflammation of the nasal cavity and changes in nasal sensory cells and
slight decrease in body weight. Extremely high concentrations have caused embryotoxic effects in laboratory animals.
Ingestion Toxicity described in animals exposed by ingestion include decreased body weight and increased relative kidney weight at high dose levels
and damage to the sperm producing cells of the testis.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: This material may aggravate an existing dermatitis. Individuals with pre-existing diseases of the lungs,
liver or kidney may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air and if breathing stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Contact physician
immediately.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes and contact a physician.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops, get medical attention.
Ingestion: Give 1 or 2 glasses of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. Call physician or poison control center immediately.
SECTION VI - REACTIVITY
STABILITY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Exposure to fire, heat, sparks, open flame and other sources of ignition,
STABLE X direct sunlight, contact with oxidizing materials or contamination.
INCOMPATIBILITY ACTIVE OXYGEN CONTENT (Component "B") < 1% Not con-
(MATERIALS TO AVOID) Reducing and oxidizing agents. sidered an EPA hazardous Waste, Number D003, Reactive Waste
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
Oxides of carbon, oxides of nitrogen, hydrogen cyanide, hydrocarbons, dense smoke and gases upon combustion.
HAZARDOUS MAY OCCUR X CONDITIONS TO AVOID
POLYMERIZATION WILL NOT OCCUR Keep away from heat Above 130癋 (55癈), sparks, open flame and other sources of ignition.
Do not store above 100癋 (38癈)
SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid exposure of personnel to toxic concentration of vapor and guard against accidental fire and explosion. Contain liquid with sand, earth or
nonflammable absorbent material sweep and scoop up using non-sparking tools and transfer into steel drums for recovery or disposal. Prevent liquid from entering drains.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Follow local, State and Federal regulations. Material should not be allowed to drain into domestic sewer or storm drains. Consult authorities or disposal expert.
SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Specify type)
Atmospheric levels should be maintained below established exposure limits contained in Section II. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus.
VENTILATION
Use only with adequate ventilation. Provide sufficient ventilation in volume and pattern to keep contaminants below applicable exposure limits set forth in Section II.
Use only explosion proof ventilation equipment.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES For frequent dipping or immersion, Component "A" - PVA coated rubber; Component "B" - Nitrile or EYE PROTECTION Splashproof
neoprene rubber. Use of latex/nitrile surgical gloves or solvent resistant barrier creme should provide adequate protection when chemical goggles, face shield, safety
normal adhesive bonding practices and procedures are used for small quantity mixing and/or application on various substrates. glasses with brow guards and side
shields, etc. as appropriate for exposure.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Good industrial hygiene practices and impervious apron and a source of running water to flush or wash the eyes and skin in case of contact.
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Store in the shade between 40癋 - 100癋 (5癈 - 38癈). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame and other sources of ignition. Close container after each
use. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Train employees on all special handling procedures before they work with product.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Follow all precautionary information given on container label, product bulletins and application instructions. All material handling equipment should be
electrically grounded.
The information contained herein is based on data considered accurate. However, no warranty is expressed or implied regarding the accuracy of this data or the results to be obtained from the use
thereof.
