| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE | ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
NO open flames.
|
Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.
|
Prevent deposition of dust; closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting.
|
|
| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! AVOID ALL CONTACT!
|
IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
|
| Inhalation |
Cough. Sore throat. Weakness.
|
Local exhaust or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain. (Further see Inhalation).
|
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
|
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain.
|
Face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
Abdominal pain. Weakness.
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
|
Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical attention.

| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: WHITE CRYSTALS. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance will polymerize violently due to heating above 85°C or under the influence of light and oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 0.03 mg/m³ as TWA; (skin); A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); (ACGIH 2004). MAK: H; Carcinogen category: 2; Germ cell mutagen group: 2; (DFG 2004). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the nervous system, resulting in peripheral nerve damage. This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans. May cause heritable genetic damage in humans. | ||
