Section 5 Immediate Health Hazard Data:
Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. Liquid or vapor may cause irritation of nose, throat and lungs.
Skin: Bonds skin instantly.
Skin Absorption: No hazards known
Eyes: Causes irritation
Ingestion: No hazards known

Section 6 Emergency First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. Call a physician.
Ingestion: If accidentally swallowed, dilute by drinking large quantities of water. Immediately contact poison control center or hospital emergency room for any other additional treatment directions.
Skin Contact: If skin bonding occurs, peel, do not pull apart; soak in nail polish remover containing acetone if necessary.
Eye Contact: If eye contact occurs, flush with water only for 15 minutes and GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. Do not use any solvents to flush the eye and its surroundings.

Section 7 Reactivity Data:
Stability: Normally stable, but may become unstable at high temperatures or may react with water.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Water, alcohols, amines, bases and direct UV.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of Carbon
Other Hazards: None known

Section 8 Control Measures:
If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should be provided to keep air contaminant concentration levels below acceptable criteria.
Engineering Controls: The following exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee exposure; local exhaust ventilation, enclosed system design, process isolation and remote control in combination with appropriate use of personal protective equipment and prudent work practices. These techniques may not necessarily address all issues pertaining to your operations. We, therefore, recommend that you consult with experts of your choice to determine whether or not your programs are adequate.

Section 9 Personal Protection Information:
Respiratory Protection: Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910-.134 or other applicable standards or guidelines.
Protective Gloves: Wear impervious gloves as required to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use goggles if contact is likely.

Section 10 Spill or Leak Procedures:
Eliminate all ignition sources.
Soak up with absorbent material and remove to a chemical disposal area. Prevent entry into natural bodies of water.

Section 11 Waste Disposal:
Recover free liquid. Absorb residue and dispose of according to local, state/provincial, and federal requirements.
Empty Container: May contain explosive vapors. DO NOT cut, puncture or weld on or nearby.

Section 12 Handling Precautions:
Inhalation: Avoid breathing vapor.
Use with adequate ventilation.
Skin: Avoid contact with skin.
Eyes: Avoid contact with eyes.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and removal of the material from eyes, skin and clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling.

Section 13 Storage Precautions:
Keep away from amines.
Store in cool, dry area away from sun and heat.
Keep containers tightly closed.
Exposure to small amounts of moisture, even moisture in air, causes polymerization and renders the product unusable.
Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other ignition sources.
