Advice for Firefighters: Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray, evacuate area, prevent run-off from entering drains or waterways
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, wear appropriate chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing
Methods for Clean-up: Stop leak if safe, absorb spill with inert material (sand, diatomite, vermiculite), collect into labeled sealed container for disposal, flush area with water after cleaning
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, surface and ground water
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas or under local exhaust, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, store and handle away from sources of ignition, observe good industrial hygiene practices
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, direct sunlight, oxidizers, acids, and bases, keep container tightly closed, use corrosion-resistant containers, store separately from food and drink
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for Glycidyl Acrylate; apply general workplace exposure guidelines, minimize airborne concentrations
