Precautionary Statements: Keep away from ignition sources. Avoid breathing vapors. Use protective gloves and eye protection. Contain spillage.
Chemical Identity: Ethoxyethyl Methacrylate
Concentration: ≥99%
Impurities: Trace inhibitors such as hydroquinone or methylether hydroquinone (0.01-0.1%)
Stabilizing Agent: Inhibitor (to prevent polymerization during transport and storage)
Eye Contact: Flush immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash area thoroughly with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical help for persistent irritation.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Provide artificial respiration if needed. Seek medical attention for continued symptoms.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical assistance.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable Media: Water jets may spread fire.
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Combustion produces toxic gases including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters require self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Additional Advice: Cool exposed containers with water spray. Prevent runoff into drains.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Use appropriate personal protective equipment. Remove all ignition sources.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering watercourses, drains, or soil. Notify authorities if large quantities escape.
Spill Cleanup: Absorb with inert material (sand, earth). Place in appropriate waste container for disposal. Ventilate spill area.
Handling: Use local exhaust ventilation. Avoid inhalation, skin, and eye contact. Keep containers tightly closed.
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from sources of ignition, heat, or direct sunlight. Eliminate all sources of static electricity.
Storage Compatibility: Keep away from strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis, and peroxides.
Container Materials: Use suitable, tightly sealed containers of polyethylene or stainless steel, not copper or aluminum.
Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation and equipment. Implement local exhaust at source.
Exposure Limits: No official workplace exposure limits available. Maintain concentrations as low as possible.
Respiratory Protection: Wear NIOSH-approved respirator for organic vapors when levels may exceed limits.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious gloves (nitrile or butyl rubber) and full body covering.
Eye Protection: Use safety glasses or goggles with side protection.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking, or smoking.
