Emergency overview: Solid granules. May evolve irritating fumes on processing or overheating. Appearance: White powder. Flash Point: 304.0° C / 579.2° F (COC) Warning! Target Organs: Eyes, respiratory system. Potential Health Effects Eye: Dust may irritate eyes. Skin: Product not likely to cause skin irritation. Ingestion: Low oral toxicity. Inhalation: Unlikely to be hazardous but dust or vapors may cause irritation. Chronic: No evidence of adverse effects.
Eyes: Wash eyes for 15 minutes with copious amounts of water, holding eyes open. Seek medical attention. Skin: Wash affected areas with soap and water. Ingestion: Seek medical attention immediately. Wash mouth with water. Obtain medical attention if ill effect occur. Inhalation: Remove victim from area of exposure. Seek medical attention if ill effects occur. Notes to Physician: Treat supportively and symptomatically.
General Information: Wear full protective clothing with a self-contained breathing apparatus in fire conditions. Auto Ignition Temperature: N/A Flash Point: 579.2° F / 304.0° C (C.O.C.). Flammability: Combustible but not readily ignited. Hazardous Combustion Products: May decompose around 200° C, producting toxic, irritating, or flammable vapors. Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards: None. Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide. Protective Measures: NIOSH/MSHA approved self contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires, along with full protective clothing.
General Information: Spillages may be slippery. Sweep up and shovel into waste drums or plastic bags. Wash the contaminated area with water. Spills/Leaks: Sweep up and shovel into waste drums or plastic bags. Wash the contaminated area with water.
Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of high concentration of dusts. Storage: Store in closed containers in a clean, cool, dry area, away from heat sources. Natural ventilation is adequate. Polymer may degrade to some extent if overheated, an effect that will increase with increasing temperature.
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust is required when working with this product. Exposure Limits: Chemical Name OSHA - PEL OSHA - TWA Benzoyl Peroxide 5 mg/m3 5 mg/m3 Other Recommendations: Poly(methyl methacrylate): Recommended exposure limit of 5 mg/m3 Personal Protective Equipment Eyes: Chemical safety goggles or glasses with side shields are required. Skin: As necessary to prevent contact with skin; butyl rubber gloves are recommended. Clothing: Protective clothing such as long sleeves or a lab coat should be worn. Neoprene or neoprene gloves are recommended. When handling heated materials, also be sure to use heat-resistant gloves, boots and face protection. Respirators: An approved dust mask should be worn if exposure to high level of dust is likely.
