HEALTH HAZARD

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects following

ingestion (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,

adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at

least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept

to a minimum.

EYE

The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced

inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce

conjunctivitis.

The liquid produces a high level of eye discomfort and is capable of causing

pain and severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possible

permanent impairment of vision, if not promptly and adequately treated.

HEALTH HAZARD ...

SKIN

The material may cause moderate inflammation of the skin either following direct

contact or after a delay of some time. Repeated exposure can cause contact

dermatitis which is characterised by redness, swelling and blistering.

Skin contact is not thought to produce harmful health effects (as classified

under EC Directives using animal models). Systemic harm, however, has been

identified following exposure of animals by at least one other route and the

material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesions

or abrasions. Good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum

and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.

Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,

may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the

use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.

The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and

may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles,

scaling and thickening of the skin.

INHALED

The material may produce respiratory tract irritation, and result in damage to

the lung including reduced lung function.

Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product

If exposure to highly concentrated vapour atmosphere is prolonged this may lead

to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and unless resuscitated - death.

Prolonged exposure may cause headache, nausea and ultimately loss of

consciousness.

Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the

course of normal handling, may be harmful.

If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead

to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern

following repeated or long-term occupational exposure.

Exposure to the material for prolonged periods may cause physical defects in the

developing embryo (teratogenesis).

Ethylene glycol esters and their ethers cause wasting of the testicles,

reproductive changes, infertility and changes to kidney function. Shorter chain

compounds are more dangerous. They are also associated with the formation of

stones in the urine.

FIRST AID

SWALLOWED

· Immediately give a glass of water.

· First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons

Information Centre or a doctor.

EYE

If this product comes in contact with the eyes:

· Wash out immediately with fresh running water.

· Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from

eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.

HEALTH HAZARD ...

· If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.

· Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by

skilled personnel.

SKIN

If skin contact occurs:

· Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear

· Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).

· Seek medical attention in event of irritation.

INHALED

· If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.

· Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.

· Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,

where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.

· Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve

resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if

necessary.

· Transport to hospital, or doctor.

ADVICE TO DOCTOR

For acute or short term repeated exposures to styrene:

INHALATION:

· Severe exposures should have cardiac monitoring to detect arrhythmia.

· Catecholamines, especially epinephrine (adrenaline) should be used cautiously

(if at all).

· Aminophylline and inhaled beta-two selective bronchodilators (e.g. salbutamol)

are the drugs of choice for treatment of bronchospasm.

INGESTION:

· Ipecac syrup should be given for ingestions exceeding 3ml (styrene)/kg.

· For patients at risk of aspiration because of obtundation, intubation should

precede lavage.

· Pneumonitis is a significant risk. Watch the patient closely in an upright

(alert patient) or left lateral head-down position (obtunded patient) to reduce

aspiration potential. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]

NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as

The concentration of respirable dust for application of this limit is to be

determined from the fraction that penetrates a separator whose size collection

efficiency is described by a cumulative lognormal function with a median

aerodynamic diameter of 4.0 µm (+-) 0.3 µm and with a geometric standard

deviation of 1.5 µm (+-) 0.1 µm, i.e..generally less than 5 µm.

ES TWA: 2.5 mg/m³ ( Under review)

OES TWA: 1 mg/m³ (respirable dust)

IDLH Level: 1000 mg/m³

Most health problems associated with occupational exposure to talcs appear

to evolve mostly from the nonplatiform content of the talc being mined or

milled (being the asbestos-like amphiboles, serpentines (asbestiformes)

and other minerals in the form of acicular, prismatic and fibrous

crystals including, possibly, asbestos).

Because of severe health effects associated with exposures to asbestos,

regulatory agencies tend to regard all elongate mineral crystal particles,

whether prismatic, acicular, fibrous, as asbestos - the only provision is

the particles have an aspect ratio (length to diameter) of 3:1 or greater.

Consideration is also given to their respirability, their width being less

than or equal to 3 µm. Only limited data, however, exists on the health

effects of elongate mineral particles having prismatic, acicular or fibrous

(non-asbestos) forms. Experimental evidence indicates that the carcinogen

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE ...

potential of mineral fibres is related to the size class with diameter of

<0.25 µm and length >8 µm with shorter, thicker particles having little

biological activity.

Dust of nonfibrous talc, consisting entirely of platiform talc crystals

and containing no asbestos poses a relatively small respiratory hazard.

Difficulties exist, however, in the determination of asbestos as

cleavage fragments of prismatic or acicular crystals, nonasbestos fibres

and asbestos fibres are very similar. Subject to an accurate determination

of asbestos and crystalline silica, exposure at or below the recommended

TLV-TWA is thought to protect workers from the significant risk of

nonmalignant respiratory effects associated with talc dusts.

half-life in humans of less than two hours.

Allows excursions of 2 times the MAK value, for 30 minutes (on average), four

times per shift.

when MAK and BAT values are observed.

MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the

Federal Republic of Germany

IDLH Level: 700 ppm

Odour Threshold: 0.017 to 1.9 with a geometric average threshold of 0.32 ppm.

NOTE:Detector tubes measuring styrene at greater than 10 ppm are available.

The recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is based on the influence of styrene

exposure on the central and peripheral nervous systems At the TWA, total

daily styrene exposure to the standard 70 kg medium-frame man who inhales

10 m3 and who retains 70% of the inspired compound is 21 mg/kg with

0.5 mg/kg absorbed through the skin. The total absorbed dose can be

increased six-fold with physical work and increased respiration rate.

Measurement of styrene and its metabolites in the urine can be an

indication of recent exposure though this approach may be limited by

factors such as the influence of alcohol consumption on styrene

pharmodynamics. Exposure at or below the TLV-TWA is thought to protect the

worker against the significant risks of narcosis, neuropathies and

irritation although other findings suggest that neuro-optical effects ar

significant amongst workers exposed at 4 ppm.

MAK Group C: There is no reason to fear risk of damage to the developing embryo

when MAK and BAT values are observed.

MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the

Federal Republic of Germany

IDLH Level: 2000 ppm (lower explosive limit)

Odour Threshold Value: 6.4-50 ppm (detection), 13.3-75 ppm (recognition)

The TLV-TWA provides a significant margin of safety from the standpoint of

adverse health effects. Unacclimated subjects found the odour

objectionably strong at 200 ppm. Mild nose, eye and throat irritation was

experienced at 400 ppm. Workers exposed regularly at concentrations

ranging from 375 ppm to 1500 ppm for several months showed no unusual

signs or symptoms.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

For flammable liquids and flammable gases, local exhaust ventilation or a

process enclosure ventilation system may be required. Ventilation equipment

should be explosion-resistant.

Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities

which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air

required to effectively remove the contaminant.

Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:

solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)

evaporating from tank (in still air).

aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)

operations, intermittent container

filling, low speed conveyer transfers,

welding, spray drift, plating acid

fumes, pickling (released at low

velocity into zone of active

generation)

direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)

crusher dusts, gas discharge (active

generation into zone of rapid air

motion)

motion

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the

opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the

square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the

air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after

reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the

extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min.) for

extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction

point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within

the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are

multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or

used.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

EYE

Safety glasses with side shields.

Chemical goggles.

Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all

lenses concentrate them. DO NOT wear contact lenses.

HANDS/FEET

Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.

Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber

OTHER

Overalls.

PVC Apron.

PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.

Eyewash unit.

Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.

RESPIRATOR

Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of

of at least 20 cSt (25 deg. C)

(i) : Removable head packaging;

(ii) : Cans with friction closures and

(iii) : low pressure tubes and cartridges may be used.

· Where combination packages are used, and the inner packages are of glass,

there must be sufficient inert cushioning material in contact with inner and

outer packages

· In addition, where inner packagings are glass and contain liquids of packing

group I there must be sufficient inert absorbent to absorb any spillage, unless

the outer packaging is a close fitting moulded plastic box and the substances

are not incompatible with the plastic.

STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY

WARNING: May decompose violently or explosively on contact with other

substances.

· This substance is one of the relatively few compounds which are described as

"endothermic" i.e. heat is absorbed into the compound, rather than released from

it, during its formation.

· The majority of endothermic compounds are thermodynamically unstable and may

decompose explosively under various circumstances of initiation.

· Many but not all endothermic compounds have been involved in decompositions,

reactions and explosions and, in general, compounds with significantly positive

values of standard heats of formation, may be considered suspect on stability

grounds.

HEALTH HAZARD

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate

that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage

to the health of the individual.

Ingestion of organic peroxides may produce nausea, vomiting, abnormal pain,

stupor, bluish discoloration of skin and mucous membranes. Inflammation of the

heart muscle may also occur.

Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include general discomfort, symptoms

of giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects, slowed reaction

time, slurred speech and may progress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may

result in respiratory depression and may be fatal.

EYE

This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.

Eye contact with organic peroxides can cause clouding, redness, swelling and

burns of the eye on prolonged contact.

SKIN

All organic peroxides are irritating to the skin and if allowed to remain on the

skin, may produce inflammation; some are allergenic.

Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,

may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the

use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.

INHALED

The inhalation of organic peroxide dusts or vapours can produce throat and lung

irritation and cause an asthma-like effect. Over-exposure can cause tears,

salivation, lethargy, slow breathing, breathing difficulties, headache,

weakness, tremor, stupor and swelling of the lung.

HEALTH HAZARD ...

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

Persistent exposure over a long period of time to peroxides produces allergic

skin reactions (redness and scaling of the skin) and asthmatic wheezing.

Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern

following repeated or long-term occupational exposure.

There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a

sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population.

There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this product is more likely to

cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general

population.

The material may accumulate in the human body and progressively cause

tissue damage.

FIRST AID

SWALLOWED

· IF SWALLOWED, REFER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITHOUT DELAY.

· For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.

· Where Medical attention is not immediately available or where the patient is

more than 15 minutes from a hospital or unless instructed otherwise:

· For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.

· Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.

· If conscious, give water to drink.

· INDUCE vomiting with fingers down the back of the throat, ONLY IF CONSCIOUS.

Lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to

maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.

NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means.

· In the mean time, qualified first-aid personnel should treat the patient

following observation and employing supportive measures as indicated by the

patient's condition.

· If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available,

the patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the MSDS should be

provided. Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist.

· If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send the

patient to a hospital together with a copy of the MSDS.

EYE

If this product comes in contact with the eyes:

· Immediately hold the eyelids apart and flush the eye with 2% sodium carbonate

solution or 5% sodium ascorbate solution then wash continuously for at least 15

minutes with fresh running water.

· Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from

eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.

· Transport to hospital (or doctor) without further delay.

· Removal of contact lenses should only be undertaken by trained personnel.

HEALTH HAZARD ...

INHALED

· If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.

· Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.

· Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,

where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.

· Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve

resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if

necessary.

· Transport to hospital, or doctor.

ADVICE TO DOCTOR

Treat symptomatically.

Toxic myocarditis may follow ingestion of oxidizing agents such as peroxides.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BASIC TREATMENT

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

· Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.

· Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as

necessary.

· Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.

· Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema .

· Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.

· Anticipate seizures .

· DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to

200 ml water (5 ml/kg recommended) for dilution where patient is able to

swallow, has a strong gag reflex and does not drool.

· DO NOT attempt neutralisation as exothermic reaction may occur.

· Skin burns should be covered with dry, sterile bandages, following

decontamination.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADVANCED TREATMENT

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

· Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in

unconscious patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred.

· Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use.

· Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias.

· Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers

solution. Fluid overload might create complications.

· Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema.

· Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of

fluids. Fluid overload might create complications.

· Treat seizures with diazepam.

· Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE ...

INGREDIENT DATA

METHYL ETHYL KETONE PEROXIDE:

TLV C: 0.2 ppm [ACGIH]

ES Peak: 0.2 ppm; 1.5 mg/m³

TLV C: 0.2 ppm; 1.5 mg/m³

OES STEL: 0.2 ppm, 1.5 mg/m³

Animals repeatedly exposed to MEKP show dermal and ocular irritation and

hepatic and renal damage. The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against

such effects.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear

approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.

Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct

fit is essential to ensure adequate protection.

An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some

situations.

Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. Air

contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities

which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air

required to effectively remove the contaminant.

Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:

solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)

evaporating from tank (in still air).

aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)

operations, intermittent container

filling, low speed conveyer transfers,

welding, spray drift, plating acid

fumes, pickling (released at low

velocity into zone of active

generation)

direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)

booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,

crusher dusts, gas discharge (active

generation into zone of rapid air

motion)

grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)

high speed wheel generated dusts

(released at high initial velocity into

zone of very high rapid air motion).

Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

Lower end of the range Upper end of the range

1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents

favourable to capture

2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity

nuisance value only.

3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use

4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE ...

motion

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the

opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the

square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the

air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after

reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the

extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for

extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction

point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within

the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are

multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or

used.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

EYE

Chemical goggles. Full face shield.

Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all

lenses concentrate them.

HANDS/FEET

Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.

Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber

DO NOT wear cotton or cotton-backed gloves.

DO NOT wear leather gloves.

Promptly hose all spills off leather shoes or boots or ensure that such footwear

is protected with PVC over-shoes.

NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals.

Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to

avoid all possible skin contact.

OTHER

Overalls.

PVC Apron.

PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.

Eyewash unit.

Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.

C: Poor to Dangerous Choice for other than short term immersion

NOTE: As a series of factors will influence the actual performance of the glove,

a final selection must be based on detailed observation. -

* Where the glove is to be used on a short term, casual or infrequent basis,

factors such as "feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability), may dictate a choice

of gloves which might otherwise be unsuitable following long-term or frequent

use. A qualified practitioner should be consulted.

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine

the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information

consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational

Health and Safety Advisor.

SAFE HANDLING

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

SUITABLE CONTAINER

· DO NOT repack. Use containers supplied by manufacturer only.

· Metal packagings meeting the test criteria of Packing Group I, must NOT be

used; this avoids unnecessary confinement.

· Packagings for organic peroxides must be constructed so that none of the

materials, which are in contact with the contents, will catalyse or otherwise

dangerously affect the properties of their contents.

· For combination packages, cushioning materials must not be readily combustible

and must NOT cause decomposition of the organic peroxide if leakage occurs.

Some plastics may be incompatible with this material, check with manufacturer

for storage suitability.

· Check that containers are clearly labelled

· Type D Liquid Organic Peroxides, UN 3105, UN 3115 are to be packed to the

requirements of Packing method OP7A of the ADG Code, with maximum mass of 50 kg.

or 60 l. volume.

· Plastic drum / container or plastic inner receptacle in fibre-board, or metal

outer container.

STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY

Avoid cross contamination between the two liquid parts of product (kit). If two

part products are mixed or allowed to mix in proportions other than

manufacturer's recommendation, polymerisation with gelation and evolution of

heat (exotherm) may occur. This excess heat may generate toxic vapour

· Peroxides decompose over time and give off oxygen.

· Peroxides require controlled storage for stability.

· DANGER: Explosion hazard, never mix peroxides with accelerators or promoters.

Avoid any contamination of this material as it is very reactive and any

contamination is potentially hazardous

Avoid storage with reducing agents.

· Organic peroxides as a class are highly reactive.

· They are thermally unstable and prone to undergoing exothermic

self-accelerating decomposition.
