Other hazards which do not result in classification

Electrostatic charges may be generated during pumping. Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flammable air- vapour mixtures can occur. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge. The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and distant ignition is possible. May form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture. Highly reactive. May form explosive peroxides. Slightly irritating to respiratory system. Maintain dissolved oxygen and inhibitor at proper levels to prevent runaway polymerisation.
