======================== SECTION V -
REACTIVITY DATA
==========================
STABILITY: Stable
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Excessive heat,
freezing temperatures, corrosive
atmospheres or liquids which may damage
containers.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): No
hazardous reactions are expected to
occur under normal industrial
conditions.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS:
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and
other toxic gases including traces of
styrene and/or acrylamide monomer.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
==================== SECTION VI
- HEALTH HAZARD DATA =======================
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF
EXPOSURE: Effects vary among individuals
and may include nausea and irritation of
the nose, throat, and respiratory
tract.
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Eye contact may
cause irritation, redness, and
tearing. This material is not expected
to be a
skin irritant, however, if allowed to
remain on the skin a thin film may form
which may result in irritation depending
on the method of removal.
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF
EXPOSURE: While this material has a very
low degree of toxicity, ingestion of large
amounts can cause gastrointestinal
irritation, vomiting, nausea, and
diarrhea.
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC):
Breathing high concentrations of aerosols or
mists of this material may cause nausea
and irritation of the nose, throat, and
respiratory tract. NOTE: this product contains trace amounts of
residual butyl
acrylate (CAS 141-32-2, TLV = 10 ppm
ACGIH, OSHA) and styrene monomer (CAS 100-
42-5, TLV = 50 ppm ACGIH) which may be
released during processing and storage.
At these trace levels, they should present
no hazard with normal use.
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP: No IARC MONOGRAPHS:
No OSHA REGULATED: No
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY
EXPOSURE: Respiratory symptoms
associated with pre-existing lung
disorders may be aggravated by exposure to
this material.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION OVEREXPOSURE: Remove person to
fresh air, If breathing stops, apply
artificial respiration and seek immediate
medical attention. NOTE: Use supplied-air respirator for rescue
in enclosed
areas.
EYE CONTACT: Flush with large amounts of tepid water for at least
15
minutes, get medical attention. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting, if
aspirated
material can cause chemical pneumonitis or
pulmonary edema. Drink 2 glasses of
milk or water to dilute and contact
physician or poison center. SKIN: Wash
with
soap and water, avoid repeated
contact.
=========== SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE ============
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS
RELEASED OR SPILLED: Dike to prevent entry
into sewers or surface waters. Recover free liquid by shoveling into
container,
or add absorbant such as sand or earth to
spill and sweep up. Provide
ventilation, wear a respirator. Notify proper authorities if spill
contaminates
land or waterways.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of in
chemical land fill or incinerate assuring
conformity to all applicable local, state,
and federal governing regulations.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND
STORAGE: Do not expose to direct sun or
freezing temperatures, store inside away
from extreme temperature variations.
Protect containers from physical
damage. Keep containers tightly closed
when
not in use. Do not inhale aerosols or mists, use with adequate ventilation
and
wear a respirator. Do not store with food or animal feed.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not cut, weld,
grind, drill, solder, or braze on or near
containers whether full or empty. Do not reuse containers without professional
reconditioning and testing. Do not remove warning labels from
containers.
===================== SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES ======================
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Spraying this
product in poorly ventilated areas may
require the use of a respirator. Use Mine Safety Appliance respirator
#448849
with mist filter (or equivalent) if air
monitoring demonstrates that the
concentration of listed hazardous
materials carried by aerosols exceeds
recommended TLV's.
VENTILATION: Use good general mechanical
ventilation and local exhaust adequate
to reduce the concentration of aerosols or
mists carrying listed hazardous
materials to below the Threshold Limit
Value(s).
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Use of gloves is
recommended, use chemically resistant type.
EYE PROTECTION: Use is recommended, use
splash goggles or full face shields as
necessary.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Use impervious
apron or coveralls to prevent
contaminating street clothes which may
result in prolonged exposure. The use
of
head caps or helmets is recommended.
WORK AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Eye washes and
safety showers in the workplace are
recommended. Practice good industrial hygiene when using this product: After
using this product, do not smoke or eat
until washing thoroughly. Remove
saturated clothing or shoes at once and
launder before reuse.
