SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Avoid extinguishing methods which may generate dust clouds. Water stream can disperse dust into air, producing a fire hazard and possible explosion hazard if exposed to ignition source. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Polymer dust is combustible. The explosive limits of the polymer particles suspended in air are approximately those of coal dust. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. LIQUID: UNUSUAL HAZARDS: Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Heat can cause polymerization. Heated containers can explode. EXTINGUISHING AGENTS: Use the following media when fighting fires involving this material: polar solvent (alcohol) foam - carbon dioxide - dry chemical - water spray. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. SPECIAL PROCEDURES: EXPLOSION HAZARD. Fight advanced fires from a protected location. Use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire. ----------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 5: HEALTH HAZARD DATA ----------------------------------------------------------- POWDER: PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Eyes or skin (no absorption); inhalation of dusts. CARCINOGENICITY: None of the components of this material are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACIGH as carcinogens. THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV): For polymer: NE. For Methyl Methacrylate monomer: 100ppm. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: OSHA classifies this material as particulates, not otherwise classified. Eyes, skin and respiratory tracts may be irritated by gross overexposure to particulates, not otherwise classified, no matter how they are generated. Avoid inhalation of dust. Keep dust out of eyes to prevent possible irritation. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Get medical help if discomfort persists. EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes, including under eyelids. Get medical help if discomfort persists. SKIN: wash with soap and water. Get medical help if discomfort persists. INGESTION: Rinse mouth out with water. Call doctor if amount was large. LIQUID: PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Inhalation, skin contact. INHALATION: Inhalation of vapor or mist can cause the following: - irritation of nose and throat. Repeated of prolonged exposure can cause the following: - headache - nausea - drowsiness unconsciousness. EYE CONTACT: Material, as supplied, can cause the following: slight irritation. SKIN CONTACT: Material can cause the following: -moderate skin irritation. INGESTION: Material is possibly harmful if swallowed. DELAYED EFFECTS: Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause the following: - allergic skin reaction - kidney damage - liver damage. ----------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 6: REACTIVITY DATA: ----------------------------------------------------------- POWDER: STABILITY: STABLE: X UNSTABLE: CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Heat above 300 C INCOMPATIBILITY (materials to avoid): Strong oxidizing agents. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Methacrylate monomer and oxides of carbon. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: MAY OCCUR: WILL NOT OCCUR: X CONDITIONS TO AVOID: NA LIQUID: INSTABILITY: This material is considered stable under conditions of storage, shipment and/or use. However, this material can undergo hazardous polymerization. See HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION for conditions to avoid. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: NA HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Excessive aging, heat, contamination with polymerization catalysts, oxygen- free atmosphere, inhibitor depletion or ultraviolet light (sunlight) may cause polymerization. An uncontrolled polymerization may produce a rapid release of energy with the potential for an explosion of unvented closed containers. INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid contact with the following: - acids - bases - oxidizing agents - reducing agents - UV light. ----------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 7: SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES ----------------------------------------------------------- POWDER: STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Sweep up to avoid slipping hazard. Keep airborne particulates at a minimum when cleaning up spills. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: May be disposed of in landfill or incinerated. Follow Federal, State, and local regulations for disposal. LIQUID: PERSONAL PROTECTION: Appropriate protective equipment must be worn when handling a spill of this material. See the PERSONAL PROTECTION MEASURES section for recommendations. If exposed to material during clean-up operations, see the FIRST AID PROCEDURES section for actions to follow. PROCEDURES: Keep spectators away. Eliminate all ignition sources. Contain spills immediately with inert materials (e.g. sand, earth). Transfer liquids and solid diking material to separate suitable containers for recovery or disposal. Contaminated monomer may be unstable. Add inhibitor to prevent polymerization. See WASTE DISPOSAL section for information regarding the disposal of contained spills. NOTE: Spills on porous surfaces can contaminate groundwater. CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water. ----------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 8: SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------- POWDER: RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (specify type): Use type for particulates not otherwise classified, if needed. VENTILATION: Local exhaust at processing equipment. PROTECTIVE GLOVES: If hot plastic is handled. EYE PROTECTION: safety glasses. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: High temperature processing equipment should be ventilated. LIQUID: RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A respirator protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below the TWA/TLV's listed in the COMPONENT EXPOSURE INFORMATION section. For airborne concentrations up to 10 times the TWA/TLV's listed in the COMPONENT EXPOSURE INFORMATION section wear a MSHA/NIOSH approved (Or equivalent) half- mask, air-purifying respirator. Air-purifying respirators should be equipped with organic vapor cartridges and dust and mist filters. For airborne concentrations up to 100 times the TWA/TLV's listed in the COMPONENT EXPOSURE INFORMATION section wear a MSHA/NIOSH approved (or equivalent) full-facepiece airline respirator in the positive pressure mode with emergency escape provisions. EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent). Eye protection worn must be compatible with respiratory system employed. HAND PROTECTION: The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection: - Butyl rubber. Rinse and remove gloves immediately after use. Wash hands with soap and water. Gloves should be removed and replaced immediately if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough. NOTE: Material is a possible skin sensitizer. OTHER PROTECTION: Use chemically resistant apron of other impervious clothing to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. ----------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 9: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------- PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: POWDER: Store in cool dry place. Keep container closed to prevent water absorption and contamination. LIQUID: STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store out of direct sunlight in a cool place. Avoid temperature extremes during storage; ambient temperature preferred. Material can burn; limit indoor storage to approved areas equipped with automatic sprinklers. Total absence of oxygen will inactivate the inhibitor. Do not store under oxygen-free environment. Leave air space over liquid surface in all containers introducing air periodically if stored more than 6 months. Use monomer within 1 year. Conduct a stability test on material stored in bulk every month; drums and pails every 3 months using test method TM-1011A available from Rohm and Haas Company. HANDLING PROCEDURES: This material is a potential skin sensitizer. See the PERSONAL PROTECTION MEASURES section prior to handling. OTHER: CONTAINERS HAZARDOUS WHEN -EMPTY. Since emptied containers retain product residue (vapors and/or liquid) follow all MSDS and label warnings even after container is emptied.
