Component: Bio-N-Heptyl Acrylate
Concentration: >98%
Impurities/ Additives: Stabilizers like hydroquinone (<0.05%) as an inhibitor to prevent polymerization
CAS Numbers: 2499-59-4 (heptyl acrylate), 123-31-9 (hydroquinone)
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing. Provide oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with water for at least 15 minutes, seek medical attention for persistent irritation.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, consult a physician.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical advice.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Combustion produces irritating gases including carbon oxides.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Special Procedures: Move containers from fire area if safe. Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent over-pressurization.
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing vapors, ensure adequate ventilation, remove ignition sources.
Protective Equipment: Wear appropriate respiratory protection, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, waterways, or soil.
Clean-up Methods: Absorb with inert material like sand or vermiculite, collect in a chemical waste container, ventilate area, decontaminate surfaces with detergent and water.
Handling: Use proper grounding and bonding to avoid static discharge. Operate in a chemical fume hood or well-ventilated area. Avoid skin and eye contact; wear proper personal protection.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents or acids. Maintain at temperatures below 25°C (77°F) to prevent polymerization.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for Bio-N-Heptyl Acrylate; hydroquinone ACGIH TLV: 2 mg/m³ (TWA)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, chemical fume hood, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
Personal Protection Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles, laboratory coat, and, if needed, respirator protection (NIOSH-approved, organic vapor cartridge).

Chemical Stability: Stable under normal temperature and recommended storage conditions with inhibitor.
Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization can occur without inhibitor in heat or presence of initiators.
Conditions to Avoid: Overheating, open flame, heat sources, UV light, absence of inhibitor.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents, free radical initiators.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acrid fumes.
Acute Toxicity: LD50 Oral (rat): >2000 mg/kg; LD50 Dermal (rabbit): >2000 mg/kg
Skin Contact: Causes irritation, possible sensitization with prolonged contact
Eye Contact: Severe irritation, redness, pain
Inhalation: Respiratory tract irritation, headache, dizziness, nausea
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause dermatitis or central nervous system symptoms.
Sensitization: May cause allergic skin reaction.
Ecotoxicity: Aquatic toxicity expected; LC50 (fish, 96 hr): >10 mg/L (low to moderate toxicity)
Persistence and Degradability: Moderate biodegradability under environmental conditions; product decomposes over time, but may persist in soil and sediment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Significant, based on high log Kow (approx. 4.5)
Mobility in Soil: Likely to adsorb to soil particles, limited groundwater mobility
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid release to environment; longer-term impact on aquatic environments possible
Waste Disposal: Incinerate under controlled conditions in industrial, government-approved facilities; consult local, regional, or national regulations.
Contaminated Packaging: Triple-rinse containers before disposal; recycle or landfill as permitted.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering surface waters, sewers, or soil.
