Concentration: Ranges from 95% to 100% in most product forms
Impurities or Additives: Minimal, typically trace inhibitors such as hydroquinone (0.01–0.05%) to prevent polymerization during storage and shipping
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep them comfortable, seek medical attention if symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with plenty of water and mild soap, seek medical care for irritation or allergic response
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes, lift eyelids to ensure thorough flushing, consult a physician if pain, redness, or visual disturbance occurs
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical attention, provide product information to healthcare provider
Symptoms: Irritation, redness, allergic dermatitis, respiratory discomfort, headache, nausea
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical powder
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High pressure water streams, due to risk of spreading fire
Specific Hazards: Emits acrid smoke and irritating or toxic vapors (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acrylic monomers) during combustion
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
Advice: Cool fire-exposed containers with water to prevent bursting, use caution near runoff which can pollute waterways
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, protective clothing, ensure adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, soil, and surface waters, contain spill using absorbent material (sand, earth, vermiculite)
Methods for Cleanup: Cover spill with inert absorbent, collect into containers for disposal, decontaminate area with detergent and water
Disposal: Dispose solid waste in compliance with local environmental regulations
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate area if vapor concentrations rise, ventilate enclosed spaces before allowing workers to enter
Safe Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact, use only with adequate ventilation/extraction systems, open and handle containers with care
Precautions for Safe Storage: Store in original, tightly closed containers, away from heat sources or sunlight, keep in cool, dry, well-ventilated area
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids or bases, polymerization initiators
Technical Recommendations: Ground and bond containers during transfer to prevent electrostatic buildup, use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment
Storage Temperature: Keep between 2 °C and 8 °C to slow spontaneous polymerization; avoid freezing
Exposure Limits: No ACGIH TLV or OSHA PEL established, minimize exposure as much as practical
Engineering Controls: Use fume hoods or local exhaust systems at points of vapor emission
Personal Protection: Wear chemical splash goggles, nitrile rubber gloves, flame-resistant lab coat, respiratory protection with organic vapor cartridge if airborne concentration could exceed safe levels
Environmental Controls: Prevent workplace discharges into public sewage or surface waters through secondary containment and regular inspection
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Faint, sweet, acrylate-like scent
Odor Threshold: Low, but can vary based on sensitivity
pH: Not applicable (non-aqueous product)
Melting Point/Freezing Point: -20 °C
Boiling Point and Range: 220–250 °C
Flash Point: 110 °C (closed cup)
Evaporation Rate: Slower than ether, faster than glycerin
Flammability: Flammable in presence of ignition sources
Vapor Pressure: Less than 1 mmHg (20 °C)
Vapor Density: Approx. 4 (air = 1)
Relative Density: 1.09–1.11 (water = 1)
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, miscible with many organic solvents
Partition Coefficient (log Kow): Not readily determined
Autoignition Temperature: 380–400 °C
Decomposition Temperature: Above 200 °C releases hazardous products
Viscosity: 5–15 mPa·s at 20 °C
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended conditions, can polymerize exothermically if exposed to heat, light, or contaminants
Reactivity: Reacts readily with free radicals, acids, bases, peroxides, and strong oxidizers
Hazardous Reactions: Risk of runaway polymerization, especially if inhibitor is absent or depleted
Conditions to Avoid: Sunlight, heat, contaminated or unventilated containers
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Acrylic fumes, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat) estimated around 1,000-2,000 mg/kg
Skin Irritation: Recognized as moderate to severe skin irritant
Eye Irritation: Significant risk of eye damage; use adequate protection
Respiratory Sensitization: Prolonged exposure can cause respiratory discomfort
Skin Sensitization: Capable of causing allergic contact dermatitis in some users
Other Effects: Chronic overexposure may damage kidney, liver following repeated or prolonged contact
Carcinogenicity: Not classified by IARC/OSHA/NTP, acrylics generally not considered carcinogenic without co-exposure to formaldehyde
Mutagenicity/Teratogenicity: No clear evidence from available studies at expected exposure levels
Aquatic Toxicity: May cause acute and chronic harm to aquatic organisms, especially invertebrates, algae
Persistence and Degradability: Some biodegradation in natural environments, slower than simple glycols
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low, due to low water solubility and rapid breakdown by microorganisms
Mobility in Soil: Absorbs to sediment but can migrate during rainfall events
Other Adverse Effects: May inhibit microbial activity if substantial releases occur; longer-term impacts on aquatic food web possible with repeated exposure
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose as hazardous organic chemical waste in accordance with country-specific and local regulations
Recommended Disposal: Incinerate in approved facility or contract specialized hazardous waste handler
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse thoroughly, treat rinseates as hazardous, recycle or landfill only after decontamination
Precautions: Label and seal all outgoing waste to prevent accidental exposure during transport
Do Not: Discharge to sewers, waterways, or soil
