Important symptoms: Burning, redness, blistering, itchy skin or eyes, respiratory discomfort
Advice for doctors: Treat symptomatically, avoid further exposure
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable media: Direct water jets may spread chemical
Hazardous combustion products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, acrid smoke
Protective equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing
Special hazards: Vapors are heavier than air, may spread along ground, risk of flashback possible
Specific fire-fighting techniques: Cool containers exposed to fire with water spray, isolate area, prevent runoff from entering drains
Spill containment: Stop leak if safe, use non-sparking tools, ventilate area, keep away from sources of ignition
Personal precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, protective clothing, use respiratory protection if vapors or aerosols are present
Environmental precautions: Do not let product enter drains, soil, surface water
Clean-up methods: Absorb liquid on inert material (sand, earth, vermiculite), transfer to chemical waste container, wash area with water and detergent, dispose of contaminated cleanup materials properly
Notification: Inform relevant authorities if significant release causes environmental risk
Precautions for safe handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, avoid contact with skin or eyes, never eat, drink, or smoke during use, keep product away from heat, sparks, open flame
Hygiene considerations: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, remove and wash contaminated clothing regularly
Storage conditions: Store in tightly closed, original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated spot away from sunlight and incompatible substances such as oxidizers or acids
Storage temperature: Maintain at 2–8°C for best stability
Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, bases, free radical initiators
Other advice: Keep container upright, monitor for polymerization inhibitors in long-term storage
Control parameters: No established occupational exposure limits (OSHA, ACGIH) for MOEOEMA
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, general mechanical ventilation in closed areas, fume hoods for laboratory work
Personal protective equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, lab coats or aprons, closed shoes
Respiratory protection: Use organic vapor respirator if ventilation is inadequate, particularly during large-scale operations or spills
Environmental protection: Avoid release into environment, use air scrubbers or absorbents, implement waste management practices

Incompatible substances: Strong acids, bases, oxidizers, azo compounds
Hazardous decomposition products: Methacrylic acid, carbon oxides, other irritating fumes
Conditions to avoid: Strong UV light, elevated temperatures, contamination by oxidizers, absence of stabilizing agents
Reactivity: May react exothermically with free radical sources
Likely exposure routes: Inhalation, dermal, ocular, ingestion
Acute toxicity: Low acute toxicity by oral or dermal exposure in animal studies, LD50 (oral, rat): > 2,500 mg/kg
Skin irritation: Irritant, can cause contact dermatitis on repeated or prolonged exposure
Eye irritation: Causes reversible redness, pain, tearing
Respiratory effects: Vapor may irritate respiratory tract, triggering coughing or sore throat
Sensitization: Skin sensitizer, may trigger allergic responses in predisposed individuals
Chronic effects: No known chronic toxicity based on available data
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogen (IARC, NTP, OSHA)
Mutagenicity: Not considered mutagenic in standard tests
Reproductive toxicity: Insufficient data for conclusive assessment
Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects, LC50 (fish, 96h): > 100 mg/L (low acute toxicity expected)
Persistence and degradability: Moderately biodegradable, some persistence possible in low-oxygen conditions
Bioaccumulation potential: Low, based on estimated log Kow
Mobility in soil: Moderate due to water solubility and low vapor pressure
Other adverse effects: Can cause chemical oxygen demand (COD) in waste streams, contributes to organic load
Precautionary notes: Avoid large scale releases, restrict entry into waterways, monitor effluents where possible
