Description of first aid measures General advice: If potential for exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Skin contact: Wash off with plenty of water.
Eye contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: No emergency medical treatment necessary.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicology Information.
Protection of first-aiders Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Notes to physician: No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: no data available
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Material can splatter above 100C/212F. Dried product can burn.
Advice for firefighters
Fire Fighting Procedures: no data available
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Material can create slippery conditions.
Environmental precautions: CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spills immediately with inert materials (e.g., sand, earth). Transfer liquids and solid diking material to separate suitable containers for recovery or disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Monomer vapors can be evolved when material is heated during processing operations. See SECTION 8, for types of ventilation required.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep from freezing - product stability may be affected. STIR WELL BEFORE USE.
Storage stability Storage temperature: 1 - 49 °C
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Control parameters Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist. Any type of listing among TWA, STEL, Ceiling and BEI which is missing from above Control parameters table, can be considered as no data available.
None established
Exposure controls Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Individual protection measures
Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields). Skin protection
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Avoid gloves made of: Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier. Other protection: Wear clean, body-covering clothing. Respiratory protection: Under intended handling conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed.
Hygiene measures: No smoking and drinking

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological information appears in this section when such data is available.
Route of Exposure Please refer to the information below. Acute toxicity Acute oral toxicity Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts.
LD50, Rat, male, > 5,000 mg/kg
Acute dermal toxicity
Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.
LD50, Rabbit, male, > 5,000 mg/kg
Acute inhalation toxicity
At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility; single exposure is not likely to be hazardous. For respiratory irritation and narcotic effects: No relevant data found. The LC50 has not been determined.
Symptoms
Skin corrosion/irritation Brief contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Prolonged contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness.
May cause slight temporary eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely.
Sensitization For skin sensitization: No relevant data found.
For respiratory sensitization:
No relevant data found.
Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Single Exposure)
Available data are inadequate to determine single exposure specific target organ toxicity.
Chronic toxicity or long term toxicity
Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Repeated Exposure)
No relevant data found.
Carcinogenicity No relevant data found.
Teratogenicity No relevant data found.
Reproductive toxicity No relevant data found.
