Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Consult a physician.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician immediately.
Ingestion: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Consult a physician. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway clear.
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.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to physician: Treatment should be directed at preventing absorption, administering to symptoms (if they occur), and providing supportive therapy.
Fire-fighting measures
Unsuitable extinguishing media: No data available
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous combustion products: No data available
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Heat can cause polymerization. Heated containers can explode.
Advice for firefighters
Fire Fighting Procedures: EXPLOSION HAZARD. Fight advanced fires from a protected location. Cool containers/tanks with water spray.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions: CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Remove all sources of ignition. 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. Absorbent can act as a contaminant (removes inhibitor) in liquid monomer. Avoid freestanding monomer with absorbent or add inhibitor to stabilize. Dispose of promptly.
Handling and storage
Conditions for safe storage: Avoid temperature extremes during storage; ambient temperature preferred. Store in cool place. Keep away from direct sunlight. Keep material dry. Moisture may affect product quality. Material can burn; limit indoor storage to approved areas equipped with automatic sprinklers. Ground all metal containers during storage and handling. Total absence of oxygen will inactivate the inhibitor. Do not store under oxygen-free environment. This product contains inhibitor to stabilize it during shipment and storage. The effectiveness of the inhibitor is dependent on the presence of dissolved oxygen. In order to maintain sufficient dissolved oxygen in the liquid to avoid polymerization, the monomer must always be stored with a vapor space oxygen concentration of 5% to 21% (air). If the material is stored longer than six months (from date of manufacture) in a closed container, replenish the vapor space with fresh air to avoid depletion of the dissolved oxygen. Use monomer within 1 year to avoid loss of stability or risk of polymerization. Keep container tightly closed. Do not store this material in containers made of the following: Mild steel
Storage stability
Storage temperature: <= 38 °C (<= 100 °F)

Exposure controls / personal protection
Protective measures: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
Individual protection measures
Eye/face protection: Chemical resistant goggles must be worn. Eye protection worn must be compatible with respiratory protection system employed.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn whenever this material is handled. The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. (Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection): Nitrile rubber Neoprene gloves 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. Reference: Methacrylate Producers Association, Inc., "Chemical- Protective Gloves for Methacrylic Acid and its Esters", September 1998.
Other protection: Use chemically resistant apron or other impervious clothing to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Respiratory protection: A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or equivalent must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below the exposure limit listed in Exposure Limit Information. Up to 10 times the exposure limit: Wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask, air-purifying respirator. Up to 50 times the exposure limit: Wear a properly fitted CE approved (or equivalent) full-facepiece, air-purifying respirator, OR full-facepiece, airline respirator in the pressure demand mode. Above 50 times the exposure limit or Unknown: Wear a properly fitted CE approved (or equivalent) self-contained breathing apparatus in the pressure demand mode, OR full-facepiece, airline respirator in the pressure demand mode with emergency escape provision. Air-purifying respirators should be equipped with CE approved (or equivalent) organic vapor cartridges and N95 filters. If oil mist is present, use R95 or P95 filters.
Stability and reactivity
Chemical stability: No data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions: Inhibitor is added to this product to prevent polymerization. However, this material can undergo 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.
This material is considered stable under specified conditions of storage, shipment and/or use.
Conditions to avoid: No data available
Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with the following: Acids Bases Oxidizing agents Reducing agents UV light free radical initiators organic peroxides
Hazardous decomposition products: There are no known hazardous decomposition products for this material.
Disposal considerations
After the addition of excess inhibitor, incinerate liquid and contaminated diking material in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
The definitive assignment of this material to the appropriate EWC group and thus its proper EWC code will depend on the use that is made of this material. Contact the authorized waste disposal services.
Contaminated packaging: Dispose of as unused product. CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Since emptied containers retain product residue follow all (M)SDS and label warnings even after container is emptied. Do not burn, or use a cutting torch on, the empty drum. Pursue safe, legal methods for recycle of empty containers. Improper disposal or re-use of this container may be dangerous and illegal. Refer to applicable local, state and federal regulations.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
