If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. 

Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. 

Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. 

If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to side. Get medical attention immediately. 

For inhalation, consider oxygen. For ingestion, consider gastric lavage. Consider oxygen. 

See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Slight fire hazard. 

regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular foam Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Dike for later disposal. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. 

Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a well-ventilated area. Shelf life is 6 months. Keep in the dark. Monitor inhibitor content. Store below 7 C. Keep separated from incompatible substances. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. 

Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider warning properties before use. Any chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s). Any chemical cartridge respirator with a full facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s). Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor canister. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. 

May polymerize when heated.
