3. Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview: WARNING! Adhesive containing a flammable liquid. Causes eye irritation. May cause skin and upper respiratory tract irritation. May cause central nervous system depression. Do not take internally.
Relevant Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, eye and skin.
Signs and Symptoms of Acute Overexposure:
Exposure to styrene vapors from this product, above 50ppm, may cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and headache, nausea or vomiting. Liquid resin is irritating to eyes and skin. Protective gloves and goggles are recommended when contact with liquid resin by splash is possible. Use with adequate exhaust ventilation.
Signs and Symptoms of Chronic Overexposure:
No known chronic health effects have been observed with normal use of this product.
| Potential Health Effects / Health Hazard Identification Acute Exposure |
|
| Eye: | Causes Irritation |
| Skin: | Causes Irritation |
| Ingestion: | May cause irritation to the gastrointestinal track |
| Inhalation: | Mucous membrane irritant |
| Chronic Exposure: | Long-term exposure to excess styrene vapor may cause nausea, loss of appetite, CNS depression and general weakness. |
| Other Hazards: | Known Synergist: None Known Explosion Hazard: Empty containers are dangerous. They still may contain flammable vapors. Keep away from heat, sparks, or flames. Fire Hazard: Classified as Flammable Liquid. Corrosion Hazard: Not Corrosive |
4. First Aid Measures
| Eye Contact: | Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. |
| Skin Contact: | Immediately flush with plenty of water for a least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. |
| Ingestion: | Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. |
| Inhalation: | If symptomatic, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. |
| Additional Protective Measures | |
| First Aid Facilities: Eye bath, safety shower, washing facilitation. | |
| Advice to Physicians: None Known | |
5. Fire Fighting Measures
| Flammable Liquid: FLammability Class: 1C | |
| Extinguishing Media: | Water spray, dry chemical, Carbon Dioxide, Foam |
| Protective Equipment: | Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. |
| Special Exposure Hazard: | Containers can build pressure if exposed to heat or fire. The heat from a fire may cause polymerization which could cause violent rupture of closed containers. Vapors from the product may form explosive mixtures with air. |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. |
6. Accidental Release Measurers
Leaks and Spills:
Eliminate all ignition sources. Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste. For large spills; flush spill area with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams.
Personal Protection: Wear protective clothing.
7. Handling and Storage
| Handling: | Material is a combustible liquid; keep away from heat, open flame,oxidizers, and other ignition sources. Avoid breathing vapors. Use protective equipment when handling. |
| Storage: | Store indoors with adequate ventilation and out of direct sunlight. Store away from oxidizing agents. Always use oldest lots first. Material should last 6 months at not over 75°F. |
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
| Engineering Control: | Local exhaust ventilation should be used to control the emissions of air contaminants. General dilution ventilation may assist with the reduction of air contaminant concentrations. |
| Respiratory Protection: | If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to an acceptable level, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator type: Organic vapor. If respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Ventilation Required: | Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. Supplementary local exhaust ventilation, closed systems, or respiratory protection may be needed in special circumstances such as poorly ventilated space, evaporation from large surfaces, spraying, heating, etc. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear impervious gloves, boots, and protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure. |
| Eye Protection: | Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). |
