EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water spray, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical as appropriate for surrounding fire
conditions and materials.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Do not use a solid stream of water. A solid stream of water
directed at this material may create a potentially explosive airborne dust mixture. Use water spray to cool
containers exposed to fire.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand
MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive
mixtures with air. Combustion generates sulfur oxides.

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, particularly
concentrated nitric acid.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition may yield monomer vapors and
sulfur oxides.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: May Occur ( ) Will Not Occur ( x )
SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
TOXICITY: Toxicity data for a compositionaly similar material are listed below:
Oral LD50 - rat: >5000 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 - rabbit: >5000 mg/kg
CARCINOGEN LISTED BY: NTP Yes ( ) No (x)
IARC Yes ( ) No (x)
OSHA Yes ( ) No (x)
Other Yes ( ) No (x)
ROUTE(S) OF ENTERY AND SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION: No adverse effects expected under normal conditions of use. Prolonged exposure may
cause irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs.
EYE CONTACT: Material can cause severe irritation.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause slight skin irritation.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Move subject to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with a large amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician
if irritation persists.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
SECTION 6 - CONTROL AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: No special respiratory protection required under normal conditions of use.
For dust of mist up to 5 times the TWA/TLV's listed in -Exposure Limit Information; wear a MSHA/NIOSH
approved disposable dust/mist respirator.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Nitrile, polyvinyl chloride, or other suitable gloves are recommended.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or goggles should be worn to avoid incidental eye contact.
VENTILATION: No special ventilation required under normal conditions of use.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: No special protective equipment required under normal conditions of
use.
HYGIENIC WORK PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly after handling and wash contaminated clothing before
reuse.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling and
wash any contaminated clothing before reuse.
SECTION 8 - SPILL AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF SPILL OR DISCHARGE: Keep dust to a minimum. Floor may be
slippery; use care to avoid falling. Transfer spilled material to a suitable container for recovery or disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of in accordance with all applicable local, state, federal, and
environmental regulations.
