FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
High temperatures, inhibitor depletion, accidental impurities, or exposure to
radiation or oxidizers may cause spontaneous polymerizing reaction generating
heat/pressure. Closed containers may rupture or explode during runaway
polymerization.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Dry chemical
CO2
Water spray
Foam
Water fog

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Do not enter fire area without proper protection. See Section 4 -
decomposition products possible. Fight fire from safe distance/protected
location. Heat/impurities may increase temperature/build pressure/rupture
closed containers, spreading fire, increasing risk of burns/injuries. Water
may be ineffective in firefighting due to low solubility. Use water
spray/fog for cooling. Pressure relief system may plug with solids,
increasing risk of overpressure. Notify authorities if liquid enters
sewer/public waters.

07. HEALTH HAZARDS
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE

INHALATION
No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any adverse health effects are
expected to occur at standard conditions. However, aerosols or vapors which
may be generated during processing may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Symptoms of irritation may include sore throat, coughing, mucous production,
and shortness of breath.

EYE CONTACT -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to cause eye irritation.
May cause moderate irritation with symptoms including burning sensation,
tearing, redness or swelling.

SKIN ABSORPTION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to be a slight skin absorption hazard.

SKIN IRRITATION -- PRIMARY ROUTE
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data are known to
exist, this material is expected to be a skin irritant.
Symptoms of irritation may include localized redness or rash, swelling of the
affected area and blistering. Symptoms may be delayed.
Although no appropriate human or animal health effects data is known to
exist, this material may cause an allergic skin reaction (sensitization) in
susceptible individuals upon repeated exposure.

INGESTION
No significant signs or symptoms indicative of any adverse health hazard are
expected to occur as a result of ingestion.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
This material or its emissions may defat skin, cause contact dermatitis, or
otherwise aggravate existing skin disease.

08. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT / CONTROL MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If this material is handled at elevated temperature or under mist forming
conditions, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment should be
used.

EYE PROTECTION
Eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield must be
worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to splashing or spraying
liquid, airborne particles, or vapor. Contact lenses should not be worn.

SKIN PROTECTION

Material Safety Data Sheet
Product: CD401 Revised Date: 06-09-2005
MSDS ID: S-000444 Replaces Date: 01-17-2005

When skin contact is possible, protective clothing including gloves, apron,
sleeves, boots, head and face protection should be worn. This equipment must
be cleaned thoroughly after each use.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
If handling results in aerosol or vapor generation, local exhaust ventilation
is recommended.

OTHER HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the
immediate vicinity of any potential exposure.

OTHER WORK PRACTICES
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking,
smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled clothing/wash
thoroughly before reuse. Shower after work using plenty of soap and water.

09. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AI INHALATION
If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air immediately. Give oxygen
or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain emergency medical attention.
Prompt action is essential.

EYE CONTACT
In case of eye contact, immediately rinse with clean water for 20-30
minutes. Retract eyelids often. Obtain emergency medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT
Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild
soap/water. Flush w/lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If sticky, use waterless
cleaner first. Seek medical attention if ill effect or irritation develops.

INGESTION
Not expected to present a significant ingestion hazard under anticipated
conditions of normal use. However, if ingested, obtain emergency medical
attention.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Treat symptomatically.

10. SPILL AND DISPOSAL
PRECAUTIONS IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASE Spilled or released material may polymerize and release heat/gases.
Extinguish all ignition sources and ventilate area. Wear protective
equipment during clean-up. Dike and recover large spill. Soak up small
spill with inert solids (such as vermiculite, clay) and sweep/shovel into
vented disposal container. Wash spill area with a strong detergent and water
solution; rinse with water but minimize water use during clean-up. For
spills on water, contain, minimize dispersion and collect. Dispose/report
per regulatory requirements.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS
Non-contaminated, properly inhibited product is not a RCRA hazardous waste.
However, contaminated product/soil/water may be RCRA/OSHA hazardous waste due
to potential for internal heat generation (see 40 CFR 261 and 29 CFR 1910).
It is the responsibility of the generator to determine at the time of
disposal whether the product meets the criteria of a hazardous waste. Comply
with all applicable federal, state and local regulations. Use registered
transporters. Disposal options include landfilling solids at permitted
sites; fuel blending or incinerating liquids. Assure emissions comply with
applicable regulations. Dilute aqueous waste may biodegrade; avoid
overloading/poisoning plant biomass. Assure effluent complies with
applicable regulations.

11. ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURES
This material is supplied as a solid. To facilitate product transfer from
original container, container may be heated to 70C/158F for not more than 24
hours. Do NOT use localized heat sources such as band heaters to heat/melt
product. Do NOT use steam. Hot boxes or hot rooms are recommended for
heating/melting material. The hot box or hot room should be set at a maximum
temperature of 70C/158F. Do not overheat--this may compromise product quality
and/or result in an uncontrolled hazardous polymerization. Check product
before use/processing to ensure it is thoroughly and completely melted.
Gently mixing may be required. Product must be completely melted and in a
homogeneous state prior to use. Product should be consumed in its entirety
after heating/melting--avoid multiple "re-heats" which may affect product
quality or result in product degradation. Product is packaged with
inhibitor(s). Unless inhibited, product can polymerize, raising temperature
and pressure possibly rupturing container. Check inhibitor content
periodically, adding to bulk material if needed. In addition, the product's
inhibitor(s) require the presence of dissolved oxygen. Maintain, at a
minimum, the original headspace in the product container and do not blanket or
mix with oxygen-free gas as it renders inhibitor ineffective. Ensure air
space (oxygen) is present during product heating/melting.

Store product indoors at temperatures greater 0C/32F and below 38C/100F.
Avoid prolonged (longer than shelf-life) storage temperatures above 38C/100F.
Store in tightly closed containers in a properly vented storage area away from
heat, sparks, open flame, strong oxidizers, radiation, and other initiators.
Prevent contamination by foreign materials. Prevent moisture contact. Use
only non-sparking tools and limit storage time. Unless specified elsewhere,
shelf-life is 6 months from receipt.

DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
Follow standard plant procedures or supervisor's instructions for
decontamination operations.
