HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
SKIN CONTACT: Frequent and prolonged contact can cause irritation and/or dermatitis.
EYE CONTACT: Can be moderately irritating to the eyes.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Systemically toxic concentrations of this product will probably not be absorbed through human skin.
INGESTION: Irritation or chemical burns of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach can develop following ingestion.
INHALATION: Vapors can irritate eyes, nose and respiratory passages. Overexposure may induce headaches, dizziness, drowsiness
or unconsciousness. Chronic exposures may result in permanent decreases in lung function.
HEALTH HAZARDS: ACUTE: Exposure may cause mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritation, tightness of chest, headache,
shortness of breath, and a dry cough. The effects of acute exposure may be delayed in onset up to 12-24 hours. CHRONIC: Repeated
exposure above current occupational limits may cause an allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. This is characterized by an
asthma-like response upon re-exposure to the chemical. The symptoms may include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
chest tightness.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP: No IARC Monographs: No OSHA Regulated: No
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Cardiovascular disease, asthma or asthmatic bronchitis,
allergic disease, chronic respiratory disease, sinusitis, headache and dizziness.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. After initial flushing,
remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and treated by medical personnel.
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is labored,
give oxygen. Consult medical personnel. SKIN CONTACT: Wash material off the skin with plenty of soap and water. If redness, itching,
or a burning sensation develops, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing and decontaminate footwear before reuse.
INGESTION: Give 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting. Keep victim's head below hips while vomiting to prevent aspiration of
liquid into the lungs. Get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Wear skin, eye, and respiratory protection during cleanup.
Soak up material with absorbent and shovel into a chemical waste container. Cover container, but do not seal, and remove from work
area. Residues from spill cleanup may continue to be regulated under provisions of RCRA and require storage and disposal as
hazardous waste. For major spills, call CHEMTREC (Chemical Transportation Emergency Center) at 800-424-9300.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Residues may still be subject to RCRA storage and disposal requirements. Dispose off in compliance
with all relevant local, state, and federal laws and regulations regarding treatment.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Store in tightly sealed containers to protect from atmospheric
moisture. Store in a cool dry area. The material is combustible; the combustion products may be hazardous. Do not expose this
material to open flames.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Prevent skin and eye contact, observe TLV limitations. Avoid breathing vapors. Workers should shower and
change to fresh clothing after each shift. Individuals with existing respiratory disease such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or asthma
should not be exposed. These individuals should be identified through baseline and annual evaluation and removed from further
exposure. Medical examination should include medical history, vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume at one second.
SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES
VENTILATION: Use local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the TLV. Follow guidelines in the ACGIH
publication "Industrial Ventilation". Exhaust air may need to be cleaned by scrubbers of filters to reduce environmental contamination.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing vapor or mists. If exposure may or does exceed occupational exposure limits (Sec. II).
Use a NIOSH approved respirator to prevent overexposure. In accordance with 29 CFR 19010.134. Use either an atmosphere
supplying respirator or an air-purifying respirator for organic vapors.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Gloves determined to be impervious under the conditions of use should be worn always when working with
this product. Depending on conditions of use, additional protection may be required such as apron, arm covers, or full body suit. Wash
contaminated clothing before re-wearing. Protective clothing should be selected and used in accordance with "Guidelines for the
Selection of Chemical Protective Clothing" published by ACGIH.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical tight goggles and full-face shield.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND MEASURES: Unhindered access to safety shower and eye wash stations. As a general
hygienic practice, wash hands and face after use. Showers and cleaning of clothes are recommended.
SECTION IX - REGULATORY INFORMATION
DOT PROPER SHIPPING NAME: Not regulated.
STATE REGULATIONS: CALIFORNIA - As per requirements of the Safe Drinking Water & Toxic Enforcement Act of CA, USA 1985
(Proposition 65), the public is warned that materials used in this product may create an exposure to chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This warning required by Section 25249.6 of the California Health
and Safety Code.
TOXIC SUBSTANCE CONTROL ACT: All chemicals comprising this product are listed on the TSCA inventory.
USER'S RESPONSIBILITY: A bulletin such as this cannot be expected to cover all possible individual situations. As the user has the
