Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Remove contaminated, soaked clothing immediately and dispose of safely | Pay attention to own protection | In any case show the physician the Safety Data Sheet |
Inhalation : Keep at rest | Move to fresh air | Call a physician immediately |
Skin : Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water removing all contaminated clothes and shoes | If symptoms persist, call a physician |
Eyes : Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes | Call a physician immediately |
Ingestion : Rinse with plenty of water | If conscious, drink plenty of water | If swallowed, do not induce vomiting - seek medical advice
Notes to physician | Main symptoms : Vapours may cause irritation to the eyes, respiratory system and the skin | Gastrointestinal discomfort | Special hazard: respiratory disorder | Treatment: Treat symptomatically | In case of lung irritation first treatment with dexametason aerosol (spray) | In case of choking: adminsitration of activated charcoal and a saline laxative agent. | In the case of absorption of large volumes, use gastroscopy with suction cleaning |
Fire-fighting measures
Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage | Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater | Material creates a special hazard because it floats on water. | Caution: Spontaneous polymerization can occur if material is released or mixed with incompatibles. | Methods for cleaning Up: Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust) | Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal | Dispose of in accordance with local regulations |
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling: Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms | Protection - fire and explosion: : Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking | Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge | Ground and bond containers when transferring material | In case of fire, emergency cooling with water spray should be available | |par Blanketing vinyl acetate under an inert atmosphere eliminates flammable vapor in the head space and contamination with atmospheric moisture. | Bulk storage of vinyl acetate at ambient temperatures is an acceptable practice when there is a routine turnover of the tank contents every 60 days or less. Inhibitor levels should be monitored if a stability problem is suspected. | Temperature class: T2 |
Storage
Technical measures/Storage conditions: Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place | Handle and open container with care | Store at temperatures not exceeding 30&86 °C/ °F | Incompatible products: oxidizing agents | radical initiators | strong acids | amines | German storage class: 3A: Flammable liquids

Exposure controls / personal protection
Engineering measures: General or dilution ventilation is frequently insufficient as the sole means of controlling employee exposure. Local ventilation is usually preferred | Explosion-proof equipment (for example fans, switches, and grounded ducts) should be used in mechanical ventilation systems
General advice : Avoid contact with skin and eyes | Do not breathe vapors or spray mist | Use only in an area equipped with a safety shower | Hold eye wash fountain available | Hygiene measures: When using, do not eat, drink or smoke | Take off all contaminated clothing immediately | Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product | Respiratory protection: respirator with A/PA filter | Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles | In addition to goggles, wear a face shield if there is a reasonable chance for splash to the face | Equipment should conform to EN 166 | skin protection: impervious clothing | Hand protection: Chemicals resistant gloves | Type : Butoject (Company KCL) or comparable article; or refer to glove manufacturer's recommendation | Evaluation : according to EN 374: level 4 | Material thickness : approx 0.3 mm | Break through time: approx 120 min | Suitable material: butyl-rubber
Stability and reactivity
Stable under normal conditions of handling, use and transportation. | Conditions to avoid: Avoid any source of ignition. | Avoid contact with heat, sparks, open flame, and static discharge. | Avoid temperatures above 30 °C / 86 °F | Materials to avoid : Keep away from: oxidizing agents, radical initiators, strong acids, amines | Thermal decomposition : No decomposition if used as directed | If heated to thermal decomposition the following decomposition products may occur depending on the conditions | carbon oxides | Hazardous reactions: Polymerization can occur | May polymerize violently or explosively if contaminated or overheated. | Uncontrolled polymerization can cause rapid evolution of heat and increased pressure which can result in violent rupture of storage vessels or containers. | Hazardous decomposition products : - |
Disposal considerations
