MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

Section 3: Hazard Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Flammable (R10).
Irritating to eyes and skin (R36/38).
Risk of serious damage to eyes (R41).
May cause sensitization by skin contact (R43).
Toxic to aquatic organisms/ may cause long-term adverse

health effects in the aquatic environment (R51/53).

Possible risk of impaired fertility (R62).

NPCA HMIS RATING: Health: 2
Flammability: 3
Reactivity: 2

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE CONTACT: Irritating to eyes.
SKIN CONTACT May cause irritation including redness or itching and dermatitis.
INGESTION: Potential ingestion hazard.
INHALATION: Suspect respiratory tract irritation hazard.
CHRONIC: Unknown.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

INHALATION Remove to fresh air. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as

needed. Seek medical attention.

EYE CONTACT: For even minor eye contact, immediately flush eyes with copious

amounts of cool water for 20 minutes retracting eyelids often to
ensure thorough washing. Seek medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild

soap and rinse with water for about 20 minutes. Do not use organic
solvents. Launder contaminated clothing.

INGESTION: Never give anything orally to a person who is losing consciousness,

unconscious, or convulsing. If conscious, give plenty of water (if
possible charcoal slurry) to drink and seek medical advice.
Artificial induction of vomiting should be restricted to first aid
staff.

In any case of persistent irritation, seek medical advice.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemicals.
UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: High pressure water jet.
EXPOSURE HAZARDS: Do not breath fumes.
Risk of formation of toxic products.
May polymerise at high temperature. Polymerisation is highly

exothermic and may produce sufficient heat to cause thermal
decomposition and/or rupture of container.

Thermal decomposition can lead to the evolution of irritant vapour

or gases and/or fire.
