| SYMPTOMS | FIRST AID | |
| Inhalation | Eye and nasal irritation and lacrimation | First, leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. Call a doctor IMMEDIATELY and be ready to take the victim to the hospital, even if no symptoms develop. |
| Skin | May burn skin or eyes upon short contact. | Immediately rinse the affected skin with water, while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. contact a hospital or poison control center, even if there are no symptoms |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. | Rinse the victim's eyes with water or ordinary saline solution for 20-30 minutes, while calling a hospital or a toxicology center. |
| Ingestion | May cause severe damage to the gastrointestinal tract. | Do not induce vomiting，aggressive chemicals destroy the membranes of the mouth, throat and esophagus and, in addition, have a high risk of entering the victim's lungs during vomiting, which increases medical problems. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical, and IMMEDIATELY call the hospital or toxicology center. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What is hydroxyethyl methacrylate used for?.
A:Hydroxyethyl methacrylate can be used in a wide range of downstream applications. Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is easy to polymerize and has good polymer biocompatibility, so it can be used as medical polymer materials to manufacture contact lenses, artificial corneas, dental materials, orthopedic materials and other products. In the chemical industry, hydroxyethyl methacrylate can be used in the field of resin, coating and rubber modification, used to produce modified acrylic resin, two-component coating, advanced automotive paint, synthetic fiber adhesive and other products. Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is one of the most researched and most valuable products in the market among special esters of methacrylic acid.
Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is widely used in medical and chemical industries, especially with the rapid development of high-end medical materials, high-end coatings and other industries, the market demand for high-end hydroxyethyl methacrylate is increasingly strong, and the industry has broad prospects for future development. China is one of the major producers of hydroxyethyl methacrylate in the world, but the products produced at this stage are mainly at the middle and low end, and it does not have the capability of mass production of high-end products yet.
Q:Is hydroxyethyl methacrylate toxic?
A:Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is a toxic chemical that is harmful to the body when inhaled, orally ingested or absorbed through the skin. Its vapors or fumes are irritating to the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Toxic manifestations include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, laryngitis, headache, nausea and vomiting. It can cause allergic reactions. The substance may be hazardous to the environment and special attention should be given to water bodies.
Q:What is hydroxyethyl methacrylate ?
A:Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is an organic substance with molecular formula C6H10O3 and molecular weight 130.1418, colorless transparent and easy flowing liquid.Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is a functional monomer, flammable, soluble in water, soluble in the usual organic solution agents, and extremely easy to polymerize for the preparation of thermosetting acrylic coatings butadiene rubber emulsion modifiers. It is used in a wide range of applications, including acrylic-modified polyurethane coatings, water-soluble plating coating binders, fiber finishing agents, paper coatings, photosensitive coatings and various resins for substances such as PVC resin modifiers.
Q:How do you store hydroxyethyl methacrylate ?
A:It is packed in sealed iron drums, and usually commodities are added with polymerization inhibitors. Store in a cool, ventilated, rainproof and sunproof warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat source. Keep away from light. Storage temperature should not exceed 37℃. The package should be sealed and not in contact with air. It should be stored separately from oxidizers, acids and bases, and should not be mixed with storage and transportation. It is not suitable to store a large amount or for a long time. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. Prohibit the use of spark-prone machinery and tools. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable shelter materials.
