First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air, provide oxygen if breathing is difficult, seek medical attention if symptoms continue
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash affected area with soap and water, seek medical advice for irritation or rash
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing, get prompt medical evaluation
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, get immediate medical help
Symptoms: Redness, burning, coughing, headache
Fire-Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water spray for larger fires
Fire Hazards: Burns with intense heat, produces toxic fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and irritating acrylate vapors
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Special Procedures: Cool exposed drums with water spray to prevent bursting, contain run-off water
Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, use proper ventilation, avoid inhaling vapors, wear gloves, goggles, and suitable respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent liquid from reaching waterways or soil, block drains with sand or earth
Clean-Up Methods: Stop the leak if safe, absorb liquid with inert material (sand, earth, vermiculite), scoop up residue, place in suitable waste container
Decontamination: Wash the contaminated area with water and detergent
Handling and Storage
Handling Practices: Keep container tightly closed, handle in a well-ventilated area, use antistatic equipment, avoid contact with skin and eyes
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight, segregate from oxidizing agents and acids, store below 30°C if possible
Packaging: Use sealed containers of compatible materials, label properly
Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA PELs, recommend keeping below 1 ppm based on similar acrylates
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, enclosed processes
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile), safety goggles with side shields, flame-resistant clothing, face shield for splashing, organic vapor respirator if ventilation is poor
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, face, and exposed skin after handling, do not eat or drink in work area
