First-aid measures

General:

Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Medical treatment is necessary if symptoms occur which are obviously caused by skin or eye contact with the product or by inhalation of its vapours.

4.1 Description of first aid measures

Inhalation:

Move subject to fresh air and keep him calm. See a physician.

Skin Contact:

If skin irritation occurs consult a physician. Wash off immediately with soap and water.

Eye contact:

Flush eyes thoroughly with a large amount of water and consult a physician.

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.

Symptomatic treatment.

Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

foam Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

High volume water jet

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

May be released in case of fire: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, organic products of decomposition.

5.3 Advice for firefighters

Special fire fighting procedures:

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take action to prevent static discharges. In the event of fire, cool the endangered containers with water. When heated above the flash point and/or during spraying (atomizing), ignitible mixtures may form in air.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Assure sufficient ventilation. Use personal protective clothing. Keep away sources of ignition. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/mist/aerosol. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

6.1.1 For non-emergency personnel:

No data available.

6.1.2 For emergency responders:

No data available.

6.2 Environmental Precautions:

Prevent product from getting into drains/surface water/groundwater.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Larger quantities: Remove mechanically (by pumping). Use explosion-proof equipment! Smaller quantities and/or residues: Contain with absorbent material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid absorbent, universal absorbent or sawdust). Dispose of contaminated material in accordance with regulations.

6.4 Reference to other sections:

For personal protection see section 8. For disposal considerations see section 13.

Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling:

Do not breathe vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take action to prevent static discharges. In the event of fire, cool the endangered containers with water. When heated above the flash point and/or during spraying (atomizing), ignitible mixtures may form in air. Keep container tightly closed. Ensure there is good room ventilation.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Protect from the action of light. Fill the container by approximately 90 % only as oxygen (air) is required for stabilisation. With large storage containers make sure the oxygen (air) supply is sufficient to ensure stability.Keep only in the original container at a temperature not exceeding 30 °C.Can polymerize with intense heat release.

7.3 Specific end use(s):

We are unaware of any specific end uses which go beyond the data reported in Section 1.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Components or products of decomposition, with limit values related to the place of work which require monitoring

iso-Butyl methacrylate, cas no. 97-86-9

No Indicative Occupational exposure Limit Value (long-term) has been established by the EU. A number of national OELs have been established, mostly at 50 ppm (AT, ET, LT, SI, SV), which has been set by analogy to MMA. Norway has established the same value, while Denmark has set a lower OEL at 25 ppm.

Waste is hazardous. It must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations after consultation of the competent local authorities and the disposal company in a suitable and licensed facility. Strictly controlled conditions during disposal or treatment to air, wastewater and waste. Do not add wastewater to a biological wastewater treatment plant Bring wastewater containing AOX for professional disposal. The waste key number must be determined as per the European Waste Types List (decision on EU Waste Types List 2000/532/EC) in cooperation with the disposal firm / producing firm / official authority.

Contaminated Packaging:

Contaminated packaging should ideally be emptied; it can then be recycled after having been decontaminated. Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of professionally. Uncontaminated packaging may be taken for recycling.
