SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Not soluble. Water in slurry may become slightly acidic.

COEFFICIENT OF WATER/OIL DISTRIBUTION: NAv

IV. FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
FLASH POINT: 175°C/350°F open cup; <94°C/200°F closed cup
 
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical.
 
UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT (% By Volume): NA
 
LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT (% By Volume): NA

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Could generate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide. A small amount of HCN will be generated at incomplete combustion.
 
EXPLOSION DATA:
Sensitivity to Impact: None
Sensitivity to Static Discharge: None

V. REACTIVITY DATA
CHEMICAL STABILITY: Stable
 
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Exposure to UV light, sunlight or temperatures above 65°C (150°F) may cause exothermic nonhazardous polymerization reaction.
 
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: none.

VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation or skin.
 
EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE:
 
ACUTE: Eye contact will cause irritation. Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation, dermatitis or other problems. Prolonged excessive inhalation of vapors or mists may cause shortness of breath, fainting, headaches or nausea.
 
CHRONIC: Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause sensitization in susceptible individuals.
 
Pre-exisiting medical conditions which might be aggravated by exposure include skin allergies, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or other respiratory diseases.
 
EXPOSURE LIMITS: None established for mixture.
 
LD50 (Mixture): No data for mixture or for separate components.
 
LC50 (Mixture): No data for mixture or for separate components.
 
TOXICITY: The complete toxicological properties of the mixture are not known. Toxicological testing has been run on similar mixtures containing the separate components listed in section II. Those materials were found to be non-toxic by ingestion or inhalation but moderately irrating to the eyes and skin.

The tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate component is expected to be a skin sensitizer and an irritant to eyes and skin; quantitative data are unavailable.

Neither ingestion nor prolonged skin contact is a likely route of exposure; nevertheless, precautions should be taken to avoid contact.
CARCINOGENICITY: No
 
TERATOGENICITY: No
 
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: No
 
MUTAGENICITY: No
 
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCTS: Moderate eye and skin irritant. Inhalation of vapors or mists may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
 
SENSITIZATION TO PRODUCT: Can cause an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals.
 
SYNERGISTIC PRODUCTS: The use of certain alcohols in conjunction with this product can increase the risk of skin irritation and/or sensitization as they remove the protective oils on the skin.

VII. FIRST AID MEASURES
SPECIFIC MEASURES:
 
EYE CONTACT: If the material gets in the eyes, immediately wash the eyes with copious amounts of water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper eyelids. Continue for 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
 
SKIN CONTACT: If the material gets on the skin, immediately wash the area with soap and water and flush with water. If the material gets on clothing, remove the clothing and wash the affected area with soap and water. If irritation develops, get medical attention. Discard or wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
 
INGESTION: If the material has been swallowed, dilute with milk or water if the victim is alert. See doctor as soon as possible.
 
INHALATION: If tightness in the chest, irritation or coughing occurs, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist
 
VIII. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

GLOVES: Use gloves made from an impervious material, e.g. nitrile, butyl or latex rubber. Latex rubber may soften and become pervious if also exposed to organic solvents.

RESPIRATOR: Not required under normal operating conditions. Respiratory protection may be needed in unusual circumstances where significant exposure to fumes or mists can occur. A NIOSH approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge would then be recommended. Use must comply with OSHA (29 CFR 1910.134) and other regulatory standards.

EYE: Safety glasses.

FOOTWEAR: Impervious shoes, e.g. leather, not cloth or sandals.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: A fume hood is not generally required. The room should have adequate ventilation to avoid potential for concentration of mist or vapors. Use local and mechanical exhaust to minimize exposure to vapors or mists.

LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE: Absorb material with paper towel or other absorbent. Place in container for disposal. If possible, expose absorbed resin to UV light or sunlight to solidify the resin. Clean up with soap and water.

WASTE DISPOSAL: Material may be cured solid by exposure to UV light. Cured material may be disposed of in landfill. Comply with all regulations.

HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT: Do not reuse container. This product is for industrial use only. Practice good housekeeping and vigorous personal hygiene to minimize contact with material.

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Store at 5 to 25°C. Keep away from sunlight.

 
IX. REGULATORY COMMENTS

DOT: Special shipping UN number: Not regulated.

TSCA: All components of this product are in compliance with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) inventory.

SARA TITLE III: This product contains no chemicals on the EPA's list of Toxic Release Chemicals under section 313.
