Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
General advice
Seek medical advice. If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately.
Eye contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water also under the eyelids for at least 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses.
Skin contact
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. Immediately remove contaminated clothing, and any extraneous chemical, if possible to do so without delay. Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.
Ingestion
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn victim's head to the side.
Inhalation
Move to fresh air.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms
No data available.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: Application of corticosteroid cream has been effective in treating skin irritation.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Alcohol-resistant foam.Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Dry sand. Limestone powder.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons.
No data available.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixtures
Incomplete combustion may form carbon monoxide. Burning produces noxious and toxic fumes. In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray . Downwind personnel must be evacuated. Fire or intense heat may cause violent rupture of packages. May form explosive mixtures in air.
Advice for fire-fighters
Avoid contact with the skin. Use personal protective equipment. Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Further information
No data available.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically protective clothing. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Environmental precautions
Shut off or remove all ignition sources. Construct a dike to prevent spreading.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Contact Air Products' Emergency Response Center for advice. Approach suspected leak areas with caution. Absorb with inert absorbent materials such as: Dry sand. Vermiculite. Activated charcoal. Place in appropriate chemical waste container.
Additional advice
Evacuate area and do not approach spilled product . If possible, stop flow of product.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be readily accessible. Adhere to work practice rules established by government regulations. Avoid contact with eyes. Use personal protective equipment. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep in a dry, cool place. Keep away from oxidizers.
Technical measures/Precautions
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
Specific end use(s)
Refer to section 1 or the extended SDS if applicable

Exposure controls / personal protection
From RIsk Assessment:
Substance is used and handled in sealed systems with no likelihood of exposure to human health. As used as a monomer in polymer production, all monomer is fully reacted during the process and is not passed down the supply chain after that point.
From supplier SDS:
Exposure controls
Engineering measures
Apply process controls to ensure safe operating conditions. Assess potential flammability hazards based on flashpoint and potential ignition sources.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers.
Provide natural or explosion-proof ventilation adequate to ensure concentrations are kept below exposure limits.
Personal protective equipment
Hand protection
Neoprene gloves.
Nitrile rubber.
Polyvinyl Alcohol Gloves (PVA).
Impervious gloves.
The breakthrough time of the selected glove(s) must be greater than the intended use period.
Eye protection
Chemical resistant goggles must be worn.
Skin and body protection
Long sleeve shirts and trousers without cuffs.
Impervious clothing.
Environmental exposure controls
Shut off or remove all ignition sources.
Special instructions for protection and hygiene
Wash at the end of each workshift and before eating, smoking or using the toilet. Remove contaminated clothing. Drench affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Refer to possibility of hazardous reactions and/or incompatible materials sections.
Chemical Stability
Stable under normal conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
No data available.
Conditions to avoid
Heat, flames and sparks.
