Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry Chemical, CO2, "alcohol" foam, water spray to cool
fire-exposed containers and disperse vapor.
Firefighting Procedure:
Toxic decomposition products may form under fire conditions.
Wear full protective clothing and a full facepiece, positive
pressure, self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Fire and explosion hazards:
Keep away from sparks and open flames. Do not smoke in area with
open product. The solvent vapors are heavier than air and may
travel along the floor to a source of ignition and flashback.
Use the product in areas and equipment with appropriate National
Electrical Code (NEC) classification. Consider the need for spark
proof tools. If the product could be heated above its flashpoint
during processing or use, remove all sources of ignition, such as
sparks, flames, or static discharge to prevent vapor ignition.
Be sure also to decontaminate contaminated clothing and equipment
with soap and water. Dispose of residues per federal, state, and
local regulations.
Stable: Yes
Hazardous Polymerization:
This product does not normally polymerize significantly.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:

water, nitrogen oxides, ethyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate
Conditions to avoid:

Instability:
This product is normally stable.
Spill Response:
Evacuate the area of all unnecessary personnel.
Action to take for spills:
For small spills:
Absorb on to rags, sand, or other absorbent material.
For large spills:
Get workers our of the affected area. If flammable liquids or
vapors may be present, turn off electrical devices or other
sources of sparks or flames. Wear protective equipment. Use
supplied-air respiratory protection if vapor concentrations are
not known. Contain spill at source by diking or absorbing with
sand. Do not allow spill to spread to or intentionally flush to
sewer or ground. Wash area thoroughly. Adequately ventilate
area. Spill residue, cleaning rags, and absorbent may be refined
to recover the precious metal content.
Disposal considerations:

Emergency and first aid procedures:
Get medical assistance for all cases of over-exposure.
Skin:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse. Call physician.
Eyes:
Immediately flush thoroughly with water for at least
15 minutes. Call physician.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. Artificial respiration if breathing
has stopped. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call
physician at once.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give
two glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Call physician at once.
Special notes to physician:
Because of the danger of aspiration, emesis or gastric lavage should
not be employed unless the risk is justified by the presence of
additional substances. Activated charcoal my induce vomiting, but may
be given after emesis or lavage to absorb toxic additives. Steroid
therapy in mold to moderate cases does not improve outcome. Bacterial
pneumonia often occurs after exposure, but prophylactic antibiotics
are not indicated and should be reserved for documented bacterial
pneumonia. Because of the possible increased risk of eliciting cardiac
dysrhythmias, catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine, should be used
with special caution in situations of emergency life support.
Adequate local ventilation should be used to keep exposures below applicable limits. Other engineering controls such as totally enclosed handling systems are also preferred; respiratory protection will be needed if exposures can not be kept below applicable limits by other means.
Respiratory protection: Selection of a suitable respirator will depend on the properties of the contaminant (s) and their actual or expected air concentration vs. applicable limits. Consult ANSI Standard Z988.2 for decision logic to select appropriate NIOSH/MESA approved respirators. If respirators are needed to meet applicable limits, a respiratory protection program up to the level of OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 is mandatory. This includes air monitoring, selection, medical approval, training, fit testing, inspection, maintenance, cleaning, storage, etc. Respirators with organic vapor cartridges provide adequate protection, within use limitations, for the following components of the product: butyl acetate. Gloves: Should be used when the possibility of skin contact exists. The suitability of a particular glove and glove material should be determined as part of an overall glove program. Considerations may include chemical breakthrough time, permeation rate, abrasion, cut and puncture resistance, flexibility, duration of contact with the product. Recommended glove material: butyl rubber Other protection practices: Appropriate eye protection such as chemical splash goggles should be used if the possibility of eye contact exists; protective outer clothing should be used where the possibility of body contact exists. Contaminated clothing should not be allowed out of the work place, it could cause a hazard in a residence and a particular danger to young children and pets. Smoking and eating: Do not smoke, consume or store food or drinks in areas where the product is handled or stored. After handling the product, wash hands thoroughly before leaving the work area. Additional engineering controls, work practices and training may be required depending on exposure levels. These are discussed in the OSHA respiratory protection standard (290 CFR 1910.134) and OSHA Hazard Communications Standard(29 CFR 1910.120). Contaminated items: Empty product containers, contaminated clothing and cleaning materials, etc. should be considered hazardous until decontaminated or properly disposed according to federal, state and local laws and regulations.
