Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Medical treatment is necessary
if symptoms occur which are obviously caused by skin or eye contact with
the product or by inhalation of its vapours.
4.1 Description of first aid measures
Inhalation: Move subject to fresh air and keep him calm. In case of discomfort: Supply
with medical care.
Skin Contact: Wash off immediately with soap and water. If skin irritation occurs consult a
physician.
Eye contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with a large amount of water and consult a
physician.
Ingestion: Get immediate medical advice/attention.
4.2 Most important symptoms
and effects, both acute and
delayed:
No data available.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Hazards: No data available.
Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing
media:
Foam. Dry chemical. Carbon Dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media:
Water.

5.2 Special hazards arising
from the substance or
mixture:
No data available.
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Special fire fighting
procedures:
In the event of fire, cool the endangered containers with water. When
heated above the flash point and/or during spraying (atomizing), ignitible
mixtures may form in air.
Special protective
equipment for fire-fighters:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus

Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures:
Assure sufficient ventilation. Use personal protective clothing. Keep away
sources of ignition. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to
vapours/dust/mist/aerosol.
6.1.1 For non-emergency
personnel:
No data available.
6.1.2 For emergency
responders:
No data available.
6.2 Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from getting into drains/surface water/groundwater.
6.3 Methods and material for
containment and cleaning
up:
Ventilate the area. Smaller quantities and/or residues: Contain with
absorbent material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid absorbent,
universal absorbent or sawdust). Dispose of contaminated material in
accordance with regulations.
6.4 Reference to other
sections:
For personal protection see section 8.

Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe
handling:
Do not breathe vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In the event of
fire, cool the endangered containers with water. When heated above the
flash point and/or during spraying (atomizing), ignitible mixtures may form in
air. Keep container tightly closed. Ensure there is good room ventilation.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities:
Protect from the action of light. Fill the container by approximately 90 %
only as oxygen (air) is required for stabilisation. With large storage
containers make sure the oxygen (air) supply is sufficient to ensure stability.
Keep only in the original container at a temperature not exceeding 30 °C.
Can polymerize with intense heat release.
7.3 Specific end use(s): We are unaware of any specific end uses which go beyond the data
reported in Section 1.

Exposure controls / personal protection

8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate Engineering
Controls:
For monitoring procedures refer for instance to "Empfohlene
Analysenverfahren für Arbeitsplatzmessungen", Schriftenreihe der
Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz and "NIOSH Manual of Analytical
Methods", National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles
Hand Protection: Material: butyl rubber gloves
Break-through time: 60 min
Glove thickness: 0.7 mm
Guideline: EN 374
Additional Information: Gloves should be replaced regularly, especially after
extended contact with the product., For each work-place a suitable glove
type has to be selected.
Skin and Body Protection: On handling of larger quantities: face mask, chemical-resistant boots and
apron
Respiratory Protection: Breathing apparatus in case of high concentrations short term: filter
appliance, filter A
Hygiene measures: Store work clothing separately. Immediately remove contaminated clothing.
Follow the usual good standards of occupational hygiene. Clean skin
thoroughly after work; apply skin cream.
Environmental Controls: see section 6.

Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity: No data available.
10.2 Chemical Stability: No decomposition if used as directed.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous
reactions:
Polymerization with heat evolution may occur in the presence of radical
forming substances (e.g. peroxides), reducing substances, and/or heavy
metal ions.
10.4 Conditions to avoid: The product is normally supplied in a stabilized form. If the permissible
storage period and/or storage temperature is exceeded, the product may
polymerize with heat evolution. Keep away from direct sunlight. Avoid high
temperatures and sources of ignition. Atmospheric oxygen saturation of
acrylic/methacrylic monomers is necessary for stability.
10.5 Incompatible Materials: Reactions with strong oxidizing agents.
10.6 Hazardous Decomposition
Products:
None when used as directed

Disposal considerations

13.1 Waste treatment methods
General information: Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local authority
requirements.
Disposal methods: Waste is hazardous. It must be disposed of in accordance with the
regulations after consultation of the competent local authorities and the
disposal company in a suitable and licensed facility.
Contaminated Packaging: Contaminated packages must be emptied as good as possible. They may
then be recycled after proper cleaning. Packages that cannot be cleaned
must be disposed of in the same way as the substance. Packaging that
cannot be cleaned should be disposed of professionally. Uncontaminated
packaging may be taken for recycling.
