Respiratory Protection

None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below the exposure limit listed in ‘Exposure Limit Information’.  For air borne concentrations up to 10 times the TWA/TLV’s listed in “Exposure Limit Information”, wear  MSHA/NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask, air-purifying respirator.  Air-purifying respirators should be equipped with MSHA/NIOSH approved (or equivalent) cartridges for protection against organic vapors.

 

Eye Protection

Use chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).

 

Hand Protection

The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation.  Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection:  -Neoprene

 

 

 

Cont. Section 8 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

 

Engineering Controls (Ventilation)

Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 100 ft/min. (0.5m./sec.) at the point of vapor evolution.  Refer to the current edition of industrial Ventilation;  A Manual of Recommended Practice published by the American Conference of  Governmental Industrial Hygienists for information on the design, installation, use, and maintenance of exhaust systems.

 

Other Protective Equipment

Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility.

Hazardous Decomposition Products

Thermal decomposition may yield acrylic monomers.

 

Hazardous Polymerization

Product will not undergo polymerization.

 

Incompatibility

There are no known materials which are incompatible with this product.

 

Section 11 – Toxicological Information

Acute Date

The information shown in SECTION 3, Hazards Identification, is based on the toxicity profiles for a number of acrylic emulsions that are compositionally similar to this product.  Typical date are: 

 

Oral LD50 –rat: > 500 mg/kg

Dermal LD50 – rabbit; > 500 mg/kg,

Skin irritation – rabbit: practically non-irritating

Eye irritation – rabbit: inconsequential irritation

Section 12 – Ecological Information

No Applicable Data
