Inhalation: Move to fresh air; keep at rest; call a poison center or physician if you feel unwell. For breathing difficulties, seek medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with plenty of water and soap for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention for persistent irritation or rash.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, removing contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing and seek medical advice without delay.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical care.
Most Important Symptoms: Redness, irritation, allergic dermatitis, burning sensation in eyes
Note to Physicians: Treat symptomatically; monitor for signs of sensitization or respiratory effects
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray/mist to extinguish fire
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid water jet which could spread the fire
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Containers may explode in heat or fire. Hazardous combustion products include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly acrid smoke
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit
Firefighting Instructions: Cool exposed containers with water spray. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and decomposition products
Explosion Data: Vapors heavier than air may travel considerable distance to ignition source and flash back
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area if necessary, keep unnecessary personnel away. Ventilate spill area. Eliminate ignition sources; prevent static discharge.
Personal Protective Equipment: Use gloves, chemical splash goggles, impervious clothing, and respirator if ventilation is not adequate
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains, sewers, or surface waterways; notify authorities if large quantities enter waterway
Methods for Containment: Stop leak if safe to do so. Dike and absorb spill with inert materials such as sand or vermiculite
Methods for Cleanup: Collect in appropriately labeled containers for disposal; clean area thoroughly with detergent and water
Handling: Open containers carefully; avoid splashing. Prevent inhalation of vapors and skin or eye contact. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Ensure proper ventilation.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, flames, and incompatible materials. Protect from direct sunlight.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents, and reducing agents
Other Precautions: Keep container tightly sealed; segregate from foodstuffs and animal feedstuffs
Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits for Tridecyl Acrylate; use workplace controls as appropriate
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust and general ventilation to control airborne levels; eye-wash stations and safety showers available
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, lab coat or apron. For high vapor concentrations, use appropriate respirator (organic vapor cartridge preferred).
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, before eating or drinking, and after exposure; remove and wash contaminated clothing
Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Slightly acrid, ester-like odor
Odor Threshold: Not available
pH: Not applicable (non-water soluble)
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Approx. -20°C
Boiling Point/Range: Approx. 272°C
Flash Point: About 99°C (Closed cup)
Evaporation Rate: Not determined
Flammability: Flammable liquid and vapor
Vapor Pressure: Low at room temperature
Vapor Density: Heavier than air
Relative Density: Approx. 0.87 (water=1)
Solubility: Insoluble in water; miscible with organic solvents
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Estimated log Kow = 5.5 (hydrophobic)
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not available
Decomposition Temperature: Not determined
Viscosity: Moderate, dependent on temperature
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal use and recommended storage conditions. Sensitive to heat, light, and air.
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Polymerizes when exposed to extreme heat, light, or in the presence of strong initiators; exothermic chain reaction possible
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, sparks, open flame, sunlight, and sources of static discharge
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis, peroxides, reducing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, organic acids, acrid smoke. Uncontrolled polymerization releases heat and pressure.
Acute Effects: Skin contact leads to redness and irritation; eye contact causes pain, tearing, and possible corneal injury; vapor inhalation results in respiratory irritation and discomfort
Skin Sensitization: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may produce allergic dermatitis
Inhalation Toxicity: May cause respiratory irritation, coughing, and shortness of breath at high vapor concentrations
Oral Toxicity: LD50 (rat, oral) largely above 2000 mg/kg (low order of acute toxicity, but still harmful)
Chronic Exposure: Long-term repeated exposure may produce skin sensitization. No data suggests carcinogenicity. Animal data limited for reproductive or developmental toxicity.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Pre-existing dermatitis, asthma, or other skin/respiratory allergic conditions
Potential Health Effects: Eye and skin irritation, allergic reaction, mild narcotic effects with high vapor exposure
Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects; limited biodegradation in the environment
Persistence and Degradability: Resists quick breakdown; tends to persist in aquatic environments
Bioaccumulation Potential: High partition coefficient suggests tendency for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms
Mobility in Soil: High hydrophobicity limits leaching; will adsorb to organic matter
Other Adverse Effects: No data on effects on terrestrial wildlife or plants; avoid environmental release
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of material in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations
Disposal of Packaging: Triple rinse and puncture empty containers before recycling or disposal; do not reuse containers
Methods of Disposal: Controlled incineration in licensed facility when possible. Do not discharge to environment or allow to enter water systems.
Special Precautions: Avoid contact with incompatible materials during disposal. Do not mix with household or general waste.
