Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Name: Ethoxytriethylene Glycol Methacrylate
Concentration: ≥98%
Impurities: Hydroquinone (inhibitor, <50 ppm), trace monomers and ethers
Other Ingredients: None considered hazardous under normal conditions

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Support breathing as necessary. Obtain medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Wash immediately and thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical advice if irritation develops or persists.
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting eyelids. Remove contact lenses if present and easy. Get prompt medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Seek medical help if feeling unwell.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct stream of water may spread fire
Specific Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air. Burning produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, irritant fumes.
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Hazards: Containers may explode in heat of fire. Avoid inhaling smoke or fumes.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, goggles, protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of fumes and skin contact.
Spill Response: Ventilate area. Eliminate ignition sources. Use inert absorbent (e.g., sand, vermiculite). Shovel up and place in approved container.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering drains, soil, or surface water.
Cleanup Methods: Wash spill site after material pick-up is complete. Decontaminate area with detergent and water.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use only with adequate ventilation. Ground/bond containers and equipment. Avoid inhaling vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and away from sunlight and ignition sources.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases, peroxides, free radical initiators.
Storage Stability: Add inhibitor such as hydroquinone to prevent polymerization.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: Not established for this compound. Observe general chemical safety.
