EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This product is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, organic odor. This product can cause moderate irritation to contaminated tissue, and may cause tissue damage upon prolonged exposure. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapors can cause central nervous system depression (e.g., dizziness, headaches, and nausea). This product must be substantially preheated before ignition to occur. In the event of a fire, the components of this product may decompose to release irritating vapors and toxic gases (e.g., nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide). Uncontrolled polymerization may cause rapid evolution of heat and increased pressure that could result in violent rupture of sealed containers. Emergency responders must wear personal protective equipment suitable for the situation to which they are responding. SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM most significant routes of occupational overexposure are inhalation of vapors and contact with skin and eyes. The symptoms of overexposure to this product are as follows: INHALATION: If mists or vapors of this product are inhaled, they can HEALTH (BLUE) 2 irritate the nose and other tissues of the upper respiratory system.

(RED) Symptoms are generally alleviated upon breathing fresh air. FLAMMABILITY 1 CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: Eye contact can cause pain, irritation and reddening. Prolonged eye contact can result in tissue damage (which may be permanent and can result in blindness). Skin contact can cause reddening, discomfort, and irritation. Prolonged or repeated skin contact can cause sensitization (i.e., the development of allergy-like skin REACTIVITY (YELLOW) 2 reactions, including rashes and hives).
