Notes to Physician: Treat symptoms, monitor respiratory function, possible delayed allergic reactions to acrylates
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide or water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use direct water stream; may spread fire
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acrid smoke, potentially toxic acrylate vapors
Firefighting Procedures: Use self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear, avoid inhaling combustion gases
Flammability Hazards: Can form combustible mixtures with air in confined areas
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, safety goggles, respirator if inadequate ventilation exists
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe, keep out of sewers, waterways or soil
Spill Cleanup Methods: Ventilate the area, contain and collect spillage with inert absorbent material (sand, earth, vermiculite), place in chemical waste container for disposal, decontaminate area with detergent solution
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing; do not breathe vapor or mist; use with adequate ventilation; wash hands after handling; ground/bond containers when transferring
Storage: Store in tightly sealed original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sunlight, ignition sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and acids
Storage Conditions: Protect from freezing, keep container upright and closed when not in use, use inhibitor-stabilized formulations to prevent polymerization
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits in US (ACGIH, OSHA)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure, or other engineering controls to maintain exposure below recommended limits
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear chemical-resistant gloves (butyl rubber, nitrile), safety glasses with side shields, protective clothing (lab coat or apron); if airborne exposure exceeds guidelines, use NIOSH-approved respirator
General Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, face, forearms after handling; remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse

Skin Sensitization: May cause allergic skin reactions in sensitized individuals
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure may aggravate pre-existing skin or respiratory conditions
Carcinogenicity: No information indicating carcinogenic potential for ethylene glycol diacrylate
Other Information: Acrylates in general are known for causing skin sensitization upon repeated or prolonged exposure
