5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash point | Not Applicable | |
Lower explosion limit | Not Applicable | |
Upper explosion limit | Not Applicable | |
Thermal decomposition | Thermal decomposition may yield acrylic monomers., Combustion generates toxic fumes of the following:, Carbon oxides |
| | | |
Suitable extinguishing media: | carbon dioxide (CO2) dry chemical water spray |
Specific hazards during fire fighting:Material as sold is combustible; burns vigorously with intense heat. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. DO NOT use a solid stream of water. A solid stream of water directed at this material may create a potentially explosive airborne dust mixture.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
Wear compatible, chemically resistant gloves.
Use personal protective equipment.
Avoid breathing dust.
Material can create slippery conditions.
Remove all sources of ignition.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Methods for cleaning up
Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.
Use water spray to keep dusting to a minimum.
Handling
Do not breathe dust. Do not breathe vapors, mist or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Ground all metal containers during storage and handling. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:Avoid dusting. Under dusty conditions avoid all sources of ignition, including sparks and static electricity.
Storage
Storage conditions:Store at room temperature in the original container. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Material can burn; limit indoor storage to approved areas equipped with automatic sprinklers. Avoid all ignition sources. This material is not hazardous under normal storage conditions. However, all materials of this type release some monomer vapors or gases when stored for prolonged periods at elevated temperatures.
Further information:
Avoid high concentrations of dust in air and accumulation of dust on equipment. An airborne dust of this material can create a dust explosion. When handling and processing this material local exhaust ventilation may be required to control dust and reduce exposure to vapors. To prevent dust explosions employ bonding and grounding for operations capable of generating static electricity. Protect all equipment from explosions by following the guidelines in NFPA-68 and NFPA-69. For electrical equipment follow local codes and electrical classification NFPA-70 (the National Electrical Code), class II, division 2, group G.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure limit(s)
Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist.
| Regulation | Type of listing | Value | |
Product | Rohm and Haas | TWARespirable fraction. | 1 mg/m3 |
| ACGIH | TWADust. | 5 mg/m3 |
| | | | | | |
Eye protection:safety glasses with side-shields Eye protection worn must be compatible with respiratory protection system employed.
Hand protection:For prolonged or repeated contact use protective gloves.
Respiratory protection:A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or equivalent must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below the exposure limit listed in Exposure Limit Information. When dusty conditions are encountered, wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask, air-purifying respirator. Air-purifying respirators should be equipped with NIOSH approved (or equivalent) N95 filters. If oil mist is present, use R95 or P95 filters.
Protective measures:Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility.
Engineering measures:Use explosion-proof local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 150 ft/min (0.75 m/sec) at the point of dust or mist 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.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Information given is based on data obtained from similar substances.
Acute oral toxicity | LD50rat > 5,000 mg/kg |
Acute inhalation toxicity | LC50rat Dust generated at a maximum concentration of 3.4 mg/L for 4 hours was not fatal to any of 24 test animals (12 male and 12 female). |
Acute dermal toxicity | LD50rabbit > 5,000 mg/kg |
Skin irritation | rabbitslight irritation |
Eye irritation | rabbitslight irritation |
Subchronic toxicity | A 13-week inhalation study in rats of a compositionally similar acrylic powder showed inflammatory effects in the lung at concentrations of 6 mg/m3 for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week. These findings were consistent with high concentration exposure effects reported for other non-soluble dusts such as titanium dioxide and toner. Maintaining airborne dust concentrations within the recommended exposure limit is not expected to produce adverse effects within the lung. |
