4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move the affected person to fresh air immediately; Provide oxygen if breathing is difficult; Seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; Wash area with soap and water; Seek medical attention if irritation or allergic reactions develop
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding lids apart; Remove contact lenses if present; Seek prompt medical assistance
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; Do not induce vomiting; Seek immediate medical attention; Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person
Most Important Symptoms: Irritation, redness, itching, burns, possible sensitization with repeated exposure

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet
Specific Hazards: Vapors form explosive mixtures in air; Burning produces acrid smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, possible toxic acrylate fumes
Personal Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Firefighting Instructions: Cool exposed containers with water; Prevent runoff from entering sewers or water bodies; Isolate hazard area; Evacuate unnecessary personnel

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area; Avoid contact with skin and eyes; Ventilate area; Eliminate ignition sources
Protective Equipment: Use gloves, splash protective goggles, flame-resistant clothing, chemical-resistant boots
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from reaching drains, soil, or water bodies; Contain spill with inert matter such as sand or earth
Methods for Cleanup: Collect residue in labeled, sealable containers for disposal; Clean spill area with compatible solvent; Dispose under local regulations

7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Work within well-ventilated areas; Wear suitable personal protection; Avoid inhaling vapors or contact with skin and eyes; Prevent buildup of static electricity
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original containers; Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space; Store away from ignition sources, sunlight, and incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, acids, bases); Use inhibitor-stabilized containers
Incompatible Materials: Peroxides, strong acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limit for 1,3-Butanediol Dimethacrylate (keep airborne concentrations as low as possible)
