Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical advice promptly.
Most Important Symptoms: Redness, irritation, dizziness, headache, coughing
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use a strong water jet, risk of spreading fire
Special Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Burning may release toxic fumes, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Additional Advice: Move containers away from fire zone if safe. Cool exposed containers with water spray.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate non-essential personnel. Ventilate area. Use personal protective equipment.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, and watercourses. Notify authorities if spill enters environment.
Containment: Stop leak if safe to do so. Dike with inert material such as sand, earth, or vermiculite.
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material. Collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. Wash spill site with water and detergent.
Safe Handling: Handle with care in well-ventilated areas. Ground and bond containers and equipment to prevent static discharge. Avoid inhalation of vapors and contact with eyes or skin.
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep in original tightly closed container away from sunlight, heat sources, and incompatible materials.
Specific Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis. Avoid contact with polymerization catalysts.
Other Precautions: Use only non-sparking tools. Do not smoke in storage or handling areas.
Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits established for lauryl acrylate. General industry guidance recommends TWA 5 ppm.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to minimize exposure. Work in chemical fume hoods where possible.
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved respirators if exposure limits may be exceeded.
Eye/Face Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles or face shield.
Skin Protection: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, chemical resistant clothing.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks, after handling, and before eating or drinking. Remove contaminated clothing promptly.
