2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General advice:

Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If danger of loss of consciousness, place patient in

recovery position and transport accordingly. Apply artificial respiration if necessary. First aid

personnel should pay attention to their own safety.

If inhaled:

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

On skin contact:

Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention required.

On contact with eyes:

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open,

consult an eye specialist.

On ingestion:

Immediately rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical

attention.

Note to physician:

Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific

antidote, administer corticosteroid dose aerosol to prevent pulmonary odema.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

carbon dioxide, dry extinguishing media, water spray, foam

Specific hazards:

Risk of violent self-polymerization if overheated in a container.

Special protective equipment:

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information:

Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel. In case of a fire in the vicinity evacuate all personnel in

a greater area if the temperature in the storage container reaches 60°C.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Personal protection: wear a tightly closed chemical protection suit and a self-contained breathing

apparatus.

Environmental precautions:

Do not discharge into waterways or sewer systems without proper authorization.

Methods for cleaning up or taking up:

For large amounts: Pump off product. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance

with regulations.

Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly with water and detergents, observing

environmental regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. The substance/ product may

be handled only by appropriately trained personnel. Facility parts must be checked for polymer

residues and cleaned on regular basis in order to avoid hazardous reactions.

Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Encapsulation or exhaust ventilation required.

When filling, transferring, or emptying of containers, adequate local exhaust ventilation is necessary.

Vent waste air to atmosphere only through suitable separators. Check the condition of seals and

connector screw threads. Do not open warm or swollen product containers. Remove persons to

safety and alert fire brigade.

The temperatures which must be avoided are to be considered. Protect against heat. Protect from

direct sunlight. Protect contents from the effects of light.

Protection against fire and explosion:

Substance/product can form explosive mixture with air. Ground all transfer equipment properly to

prevent electrostatic discharge. Containers should be grounded against electrostatic charge. It is

recommended that all conductive parts of the machinery are grounded. Explosion-proof equipment is

not necessary when loading and processing of the product takes place at a minimum of 5 °C below

the flash point.

Heated containers should be cooled to prevent polymerization. If exposed to fire, keep containers

cool by spraying with water. Emergency cooling must be provided for the eventuality of a fire in the

vicinity. Sealed containers should be protected against heat as this results in pressure build-up.

Avoid influence of heat.

Storage

Further information on storage conditions: Prior to storage ensure that the transfer equipment used

and the intended storage containers do not contain other substances/products. Before transfer to

stock the identity of the product must be proved to be without doubt. The entrance to storage rooms

is to be granted only to appropriately trained personnel.

Risk of polymerization. Protect against heat. Protect from direct sunlight. Protect contents from the

effects of light. Avoid UV-light and other radiation with high energy. Protect against contamination.

All storage containers should at least be equipped with two high temperature alert devices.

Even if the product is stored and handled as prescribed/indicated it should be used up within the

indicated duration of storage.

Storage stability:

Storage temperature: < 25 °C

Storage duration: 6 Months

The stated storage temperature should be noted.

Avoid prolonged storage.

This product should be processed as soon as possible.

The product is stabilized, the shelf life should be noted.

Storage stability is based upon ambient temperatures and conditions described.

Shelf life is limited; see product information leaflet.
