| HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION |
| |
| Heath Effects |
| General |
Primary routes of exposure are considered to be inhalation, eye contact or skin contact. |
| Acute - Swallowed |
Low toxicity. LD50 (oral rat) > 1800 mg/kg. |
| Acute - Eye |
Direct contact with product will cause irritation to the eyes. |
| Acute - Skin |
Mild, may cause allergic reaction to sensitised individuals. Susceptible individuals may develop asthma-like symptoms on a single significant exposure. |
| Acute - Inhaled |
High concentrations of vapour may cause slight irritation of the respiratory tract. Unlikely unless heated. |
| Chronic |
There have been no reports in the literature of health effects in workers arising from long-term exposure to this substance and no comprehensive human studies have been conducted. No animal studies have been conducted for long-term effects. |
|
|
FIRST AID
|
| |
| General |
On hardening by evaporation of water the product forms a hard film. |
| Swallowed |
If swallowed induce vomiting. Consult a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.. |
| Eye |
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician if irritation persists. |
| Skin |
Remove soiled clothing and wash affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. Consult a physician if irritation persists. |
| Inhaled |
Remove affected person from contaminated area to fresh air and seek medical advice. |
| First Aid Facilities |
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility. |
| Other Information |
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre. Phone 131 126 or a doctor. |

|
| PRECAUTIONS FOR USE |
| |
| |
|
| General |
On hardening by evaporation of water the product forms a hard film. |
| |
|
National Occupational Exposure Standards:
These Exposure Standards are as published by National Occupational Health and Safety Commission. They are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These Exposure Standards should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity. No National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC) Exposure Standard is established for this product. |
| |
| TWA |
Work safe Exposure Standard Time Weighted Average (TWA): None established |
| STEL |
Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL): None Established |
| Engineering Controls |
Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 0.5 metres/second at the point of vapour evolution. Refer to Australian Standards AS1688. |
| |
|
| Personal Protection |
|
| Respiratory Protection |
A respiratory protection programme meeting AS1716 and AS1715 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator’s use. None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below the TWA/STEL’s listed in the National Occupational Exposure Standards sections. For airborne concentrations up to 10 times the TWA/ STEL’s listed in the National Occupational Exposure Standards sections wear an Australian Standards approved (or equivalent) half-mask, air-purifying respirator. Air-purifying respirators should be equipped with an ammonia/methylamine cartridge and dust/mist filters. |
| Eye Protection |
Use chemical splash goggles, AS1337 or approved equivalent. |
| Hand Protection |
Gloves made from neoprene may provide protection against permeation. Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection. |
| Flammability |
Noncombustible |
|
|
| SAFETY HANDLING INFORMATION |
| |
| Storage and Transport |
| Storage Conditions |
Keep from freezing; material may coagulate. The minimum recommended storage temperature for this material is 1°C. The maximum recommended storage temperature for this material is 50°C. |
| Handling Procedures |
Monomer vapours can be evolved when material is heated during processing operations. See ENGINEERING CONTROLS and PERSONAL PROTECTION sections for types of ventilation required. |
| Note |
Formaldehyde may be generated under acidic conditions. Maintain adequate ventilation to prevent exposure to formaldehyde above the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission Exposure Standard - Time Weighted Average (TWA) for formaldehyde of 1.2 mg/m3 (1 ppm). |
| |
|
| Spills and Disposal |
Accidental Release Measures
Personal Protection |
Appropriate protective equipment must be worn when handling a spill of this material. See PERSONAL PROTECTION section under PRECAUTIONS FOR USE INFORMATION for recommendations. If exposed to material during clean-up operations see FIRST AID section for actions to follow. |
| Procedures |
Keep spectators away. Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Contain spills immediately with inert materials (e.g. sand, earth). Transfer liquids and solid dyking material to separate suitable containers for recovery or disposal. |
| Caution |
Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water. |
| |
|
| Disposal Considerations |
| Procedure |
Coagulate the emulsion by the stepwise addition of ferric chloride and lime. Remove the clear supernatant liquid and flush to a chemical sewer. Incinerate liquid and contaminated solids in accordance with local, state, and national regulations. |
|
| |
| Fire Explosions Hazard |
| Unusual Hazards |
Material can splatter above 100°C. Dried product can burn. |
| Extinguishing Agents |
Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. |
| Personal Protective Equipment |
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand AS1716 approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. |
|
| |
| Hazardous Reaction |
| Instability |
This material is considered stable. However, avoid temperatures above 177°C, the onset of polymer decomposition. Thermal decomposition is dependent on time and temperature. |
| Hazardous Decomposition Products |
Thermal decomposition may yield acrylic monomers. |
| Hazardous Polymerization |
Product will not undergo polymerization. |
| Incompatibility |
There are no known materials which are incompatible with this product. |
