MSDS ID: D-005980
Do not enter fire area without proper protection. See Section 4 -
decomposition products possible. Fight fire from safe distance/protected
location. Heat/impurities may increase temperature/build pressure/rupture
closed containers, spreading fire, increasing risk of burns/injuries. Water
may be ineffective in firefighting due to low solubility. Use water
spray/fog for cooling. Pressure relief system may plug with solids,
increasing risk of overpressure. Notify authorities if liquid enters
sewer/public waters.
07. HEALTH HAZARDS
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
INHALATION
No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any adverse health hazard are
expected to occur at standard conditions due to the low volatility of this
material. However, aerosols, or vapors which may be generated at elevated
processing temperatures, may cause respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms of
irritation may include coughing, mucous production and shortness of breath.
EYE CONTACT -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to cause eye irritation.
May cause moderate irritation with symptoms including burning sensation,
tearing, redness or swelling.
SKIN ABSORPTION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to be a health hazard by skin absorption.
SKIN IRRITATION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to be a skin irritant.
Symptoms may include localized redness or rash, blistering and swelling of
the affected area. Prolonged contact may results in a more severe skin
response. Symptoms may be delayed 24-48 hours.
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data is known to
exist, this material may cause an allergic skin reaction (sensitization) in
susceptible individuals upon repeated exposure.
INGESTION
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to be a slight ingestion hazard.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
This material or its emissions may defat skin, cause contact dermatitis, or
otherwise aggravate existing skin disease.
08. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT / CONTROL MEASURES

Sartomer USA, LLC
Material Safety Data Sheet
Product: SR203 Revised Date: 12-20-2006
MSDS ID: D-005980
If this material is handled at elevated temperature or under mist forming
conditions, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment should be
used.
EYE PROTECTION
Eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must be
worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying
liquid, airborne particles, or vapor. Contact lenses should not be worn.
SKIN PROTECTION
When skin contact is possible, protective clothing including gloves, apron,
sleeves, boots, head and face protection should be worn. This equipment must
be cleaned thoroughly after each use.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
If handling results in aerosol or vapor generation, local exhaust ventilation
is recommended.
OTHER HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the
immediate vicinity of any potential exposure.
OTHER WORK PRACTICES
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking,
smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled clothing/wash
thoroughly before reuse. Shower after work using plenty of soap and water.
09. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID
INHALATION
If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air immediately. Give oxygen
or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain emergency medical attention.
Prompt action is essential.
EYE CONTACT
In case of eye contact, immediately rinse with clean water for 20-30
minutes. Retract eyelids often. Obtain emergency medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT
Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild
soap/water. Flush w/lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If sticky, a waterless
cleaner may be used. Seek medical attention if ill effect or irritation
develops.
INGESTION
If large quantity swallowed, give lukewarm water (pint) if victim completely
conscious/alert. Do not induce vomiting/risk of damage to lungs exceeds
poisoning risk. Obtain emergency medical attention.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Treat burns or allergic reactions conventionally after decontamination.

If eye pain, blinking, tears, or redness continue, patient should contact
ophthalmologist.
10. SPILL AND DISPOSAL
PRECAUTIONS IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED
Release can cause fire/explosion. May polymerize/release heat/gases.
Extinguish all ignition sources. Blanket with firefighting foam. Impound/
recover large land spill; soak up small spill. On water, contain/minimize
dispersion/collect. Report per regulatory requirements.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS
Non-contaminated, properly inhibited material is not a RCRA hazardous waste.
However, contaminated material/soil/water may be RCRA/OSHA hazardous waste due
to potential for internal heat generation (see 40 CFR 261 and 29 CFR 1910).
It is the responsibility of the generator to determine at the time of
disposal whether the material meets the criteria of a hazardous waste. Comply
with all applicable federal, state and local regulations. Use registered
transporters. Disposal options include landfilling solids at permitted
sites; fuel blending or incinerating liquids. Assure emissions comply with
applicable regulations. Dilute aqueous waste may biodegrade; avoid
overloading/poisoning plant biomass. Assure effluent complies with
applicable regulations.
11. ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURES
Unless inhibited, product can polymerize, raising temperature and pressure,
possibly rupturing container. Check inhibitor content often, adding to bulk
liquid if needed. Do not blanket or mix with oxygen-free gas as it renders
inhibitor ineffective. Do not store at/below 32F -- inhibitor can separate
as a solid. If frozen, warm and remix material gently (< 90F). Prevent
moisture contact. Prevent contamination by foreign materials and limit
storage time. Store in tightly closed, properly vented containers away from:
heat, sparks, open flame, strong oxidizers, radiation and other initiators.
Store drums with bung in up position. Carefully vent internal pressure
before removing closure. Containers must be grounded before beginning
transfer. Use only non-sparking tools. Electrical equipment should conform
to National Electric Code. Handle "empty" containers with care/vapor residue
may be flammable.
Unless specified elsewhere, shelf life is 6 months from receipt.
DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
Follow standard plant procedures or supervisor's instructions for
decontamination operations.
