Potential Health Effects

Eye Contact:Liquid and vapors can cause irritation (tears, blurred vision, redness) and possible corneal damage.
Skin Contact:May cause skin irritation (itching and soreness).
Skin Absorption:May cause rashes.
Skin Sensitization:Can cause skin sensitization.
Inhalation:High concentration of vapors is severe irritant to respiratory tract and may cause dizziness, headache and anaesthetic effects. It may cause elevated methmoglobin in the blood.
Ingestion:Causes irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract and abdominal pain, central nervous depression. May cause methemoglobinemia.
Birth Defects/Developmental Effects:Developmental toxicity observed in animal tests but only at levels toxic to the mother.

Section 4 - First-Aid Measures

Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minuts. Call a physician.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and water. Obtain medical attention if blistering occurs or redness persists. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give two glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Chemical foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical
Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self contained breathing apparatus, and full protective gear. Use water spray to cool containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Heat can cause polymerization with rapid release of energy whey may rupture container explosively. (Spontaneous polymerization may occur on prolonged storage)

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Evacuate the area. Eliminate sources of ignition. Use self contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Dike and absorb with inert material. Transfer to proper containers for disposal, use non-sparking tools.
Personal Precautions:
Environmental Precautions:

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

General Handling: Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep out of reach of children.
Other Precautions: Close container after eash use. Ground container when pouring. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.
Storage: Store in a cool dry place away from heat, sparks, flame and direct sunlight. Store in well-ventilated space. Keep container tightly closed. Check inhibitor levels every 3 months.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

ComponentSourceTypeValueRemarks
Methyl Methacrylate MonomerACGIHTLV100 ppm, 410 mg/m3, 8 hr. TWA
Methyl Methacrylate MonomerOSHAPEL100 ppm, 410 mg/m3, 8 hr. TWA
Methyl Methacrylate MonomerICI50 ppm, 205 mg/m3, 15 min. STEL
Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Safety glasses or chemical splash goggles.
Skin Protection: Impervious, nitrile.
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain limited circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limites. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use self-contained breathing apparatus when needed.
Hygenic Measures: Wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water after use and before eating, drinking, smoking or applying cosmetics.
Other Protection Measures: Provide eyewash, safety shower and impervious clothing.
Engineering Controls: Use good, local explosion-proof ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 100 ft/min at point of monomer release.
