Butyl Acrylate Residue

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Emergency overview COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. Skin Irritant Eye irritant. May cause sensitization by skin contact. The substance is photo-sensitizing. The statements are based on the properties of the individual components. MAY CAUSE BURNS. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear NIOSH-certified chemical goggles. Wear protective clothing. Eye wash fountains and safety showers must be easily accessible. Wear full face shield if splashing hazard exists. Ground conductive equipment properly to prevent electrostatic discharge. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Use NIOSH approved respirator as needed to mitigate exposure. Exothermic polymerization may occur if storage conditions are exceeded or inhibitors become insufficient. State of matter: liquid Colour: dark Odour: strong specific odour

Potential health effects

Acute toxicity: Of low toxicity after single ingestion. Virtually nontoxic after a single skin contact. The inhalation of a highly enriched/saturated vapor-air-mixture represents an unlikely acute hazard. Irritation / corrosion: Irritating to eyes. Irritating to skin. Prolonged contact may result in burns. The statements are based on the properties of the individual components. Assessment other acute effects: Causes temporary irritation of the respiratory tract. Sensitization: Sensitization after skin contact possible. The substance may be photo-sensitizing. The product has not been tested. The statement has been derived from the properties of the individual components. Chronic toxicity: Carcinogenicity: None of the components in this product at concentrations greater than 0.1% are listed by

Teratogenic Effects

No indications of a developmental toxic / teratogenic effect were seen in animal studies. The product has not been fully tested. The statements have been derived in parts from products of a similar structure or composition. Genotoxicity: In the majority of studies performed with microorganisms and in mammalian cell culture, a mutagenic effect was not found. A mutagenic effect was also not observed in in vivo tests. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: No data available.

Environmental effects

Aquatic toxicity: Acutely toxic for aquatic organisms. The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced to biological treatment plants in appropriate low concentrations. Terrestrial toxicity: Study not necessary due to exposure considerations.
