First-aid measures

Most important symptoms and effects:

Harmful if swallowed.  Causes burns.  May cause sensitization by skin contact.  Causes injury to the cornea and eyelids.  Risk of serious damage to eyes.

Description of first aid measures:

General: Call a physician immediately.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air.  If not breathing, give artificial respiration.  Oxygen may additionally be given, by trained personnel, if it is available.  Get medical attention immediately.

Skin: Immediately start continuous flushing of skin with water for at least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.  Get medical attention immediately.  Wash clothing before reuse.  Thoroughly clean or destroy contaminated shoes.

Eye: Immediately start continuous flushing of eyes with water for at least 15 minutes.  If easy to do, contact lenses should be removed during the flushing, by trained personnel.  Hold the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing the entire surface of the eye and lids with water.  Get medical attention immediately.

Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting.  Get medical attention immediately by calling a physician or a poison control center.  If victim is conscious and alert, give a cupful of water.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.  If vomiting occurs, the patient should lie on their left side while vomiting to reduce the risk of aspiration.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

Persons with pre-existing skin, respiratory, and/or central nervous system disease may be at increased risk if exposed to this material.

This material is severely corrosive to the eyes and may cause delayed keratitis.  The normally prescribed 15 minute eye irrigation after exposure may be difficult because of the severe pain.  The prior installation of a topical ocular anesthetic is essential to facilitate a comprehensive ocular lavage.  If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.  Give patient pleny of water to drink.  Ingestion of this corrosive material may result in severe ulceration, inflammation, and possible perforation of the upper alimentary tract, with hemorrhage and fluid loss.  Aspiration of this material during induced emesis can result in severe lung injury.  Contact a Poison Control Center for additional treatment information.  Treat any additional effects symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media: waterspray, foam, sand, dry chemical powder, CO2.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: halones.

Hazardous decomposition / combustion products: CO2, carbon monoxide, acetone, propane, isopropyl alcohol, acetic acid, 3-methyl-2-butanone, isopropyl acetate, mixture of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents

Protective equipment: Firefighters must wear fire resistant protective equipment.  Wear approved respirator and protective gloves.

Other information: Evacuate all non-essential personnel.  Extinguish a small fire with powder or carbon dioxide then apply water to prevent re-ignition.  Cool closed containers with water.  Water used to extinguish a fire should not be allowed to enter the drainage system or water courses.  After a fire, ventilate thoroughly the area and soak with water, clean the walls and metallic surfaces.

Fire and explosion hazard: CAUTION: reignition may occur.  Decomposition under effect of heating (See also Section Hazardous decomposition products of SDS).  If involved in a fire, it will support combustion.  Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.  In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Do not breathe fumes/vapour.  Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  For personal protection see Section 8 of SDS.

Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter drains or water courses.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Stop leakage if possible.  Eliminate all sources of ignition, and do not generate flames or sparks.  Transfer remaining product from leaking container to a clean and suitable container.  Cover the remainder with inert absorbent (e.g. vermiculite) for disposal.  Keep contents moist.  The waste should NOT be confined.  Flush surrounding with large amounts of water and soap.

Other information: CAUTION: reignition may occur.  Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.  Vapours may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.  Evacuate personnel to safe area.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Never weigh out in the storage room.  When using do not eat, drink or smoke.  Do not pipet by mouth.  Do not breathe fumes/vapour.  Handle in well ventilated areas.  Eliminate all sources of ignition, and do not generate flames or sparks.  Keep away from reducing agents (e.g. amines), acids, alkalies and heavy metal compounds (e.g. accelerators, driers, metal soaps).  Keep product and emptied container away from heat and sources of ignition.  Confinement must be avoided.  Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  Avoid incompatible materials (See Section 10 of SDS).

Fire and explosion prevention: Use explosion protected equpment.  Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.  Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.  Use non-sparking tools in areas where explosive vapor air mixtures may occur.  Do not cut or weld on or near this container even when empty.

Conditions for safe storage: Store in accordance with local/national regulations.  Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.  Store in a dry well ventilated place away from sources of heat and direct sunlight.  Store separate from other chemicals.  Keep only in the original container.  Keep container upright to prevent leakage.

Storage:

Avoid temperatures below -10 oC.  If product freezes or separates, contact AkzoNobel.

For maximum quality store below: 25 oC

For safety, store below 40 oC

Other information: It is recommended to use electrical equipment of temperature group T3.  However, autoignition can never be excluded.  Wash hands thoroughly after handling or contact.  Keep working clothing separtely and do not take them home.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters: Ensure good ventilation and local exhaustion of the working area.  Explosion proof ventilation recommended.

Personal protection

Respiration: In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment (respirator with Filter A).

Hand: Wear suitable protective gloves of neoprene or synthetic rubber.

Eye: Wear eye/face protection.

Skin and body: Wear suitable protective clothing.

Other information: Emergency shower and facilities for rinsing eyes must be accessible.  Launder clothes before reuse.

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability:

SADT - (Self accelerating decomposition temperature) is the lowest temperature at which self accelerating decomposition may occur with a substance in the packaging as used in transport.  A dangerous self-accelerating decomposition reaction and, under certain circumstances, explosion or fire can be caused by thermal decomposition at and above the following temperature: 50 oC.  Contact with incompatible substances can cause decomposition at or below the SADT 50 oC.

To insure against possible exothermic self-accelerating decomposition, storage temperatures must not exceed emergency temperature of 45 oC.

Conditions to avoid:

Under no circumstances should this product be exposed to temperatures above the emergency temperature of 45 oC.  If the product temperature exceeds 45 oC all available means shall be used to bring the temperature under control and the emergency procedures shall be started.  Emergency procedures will vary depending on conditions.  Contact AkzoNobel for assistance with developing an emergency response plan.

Avoid temperatures below - 10 oC.

To maintain quality store in original closed container below: 25 oC.

A high degree of confinement must be avoided.

Incompatible materials:

Avoid contact with rust, iron and copper.  Contact with incompatible materials such as acids, alkalies, heavy metals and reducing agents will result in hazardous decomposition.  Do not mix with peroxide accelerators.  Use only Stainless steel 316, PP, polyethylene or glass-lined equipment.  Contact AkzoNobel for more information.

Possibility of hazardous reactions: Polymerization does not occur.

Hazardous decomposition products: Acetone, propane, isopropyl alcohol, acetic acid, 3-methyl-2-butanone, isopropyl acetate, mixture of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents

Other information: Emergency procedures will vary depending on conditions.  The customer must have an emergency response plan in place.  Contact AkzoNobel for assistance with developing an emergency response plan.

Disposal considerations

Product: Due to the high risk of contamination recycling/recover is not recommended.  Waste disposal in accordance with regulations (most probably controlled incineration).

Contaminated packaging: According to local regulations.  Emptied container might retain product residues.  Follow all warnings even after the container is emptied.  Do not wash residues into drains or other waterways.
