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 (34 - 120 °F)

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters
If exposure limits exist, they are listed below. If no exposure limits are displayed, then no values are
applicable.

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. Examples of
preferred glove barrier materials include: Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl").
Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). 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),

Page 3 of 11
Product name: ACUMER™ 1100 Polymer Issue Date: 12/20/2019

potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications

provided by the glove supplier.
Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will
depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to
exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as
respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed;
however, if discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge
with a particulate pre-filter.
