Prevention
P201 Obtain special instructions before use. P202 Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P210 Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. P243 Take action to prevent static discharges. P280 Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/ eye protec- tion/ face protection.
Response
P303 + P361 + P353 IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immedi- ately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water or show- er. P305 + P351 + P338 IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with wa- ter for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P308 + P313 IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/ attention.

Disposal
P501 Dispose of contents/ container to an approved waste disposal plant.
2.3 Other hazards
Vapours are heavier than air. Vapours may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger. Highly reactive. Maintain dissolved oxygen and inhibitor at proper levels to prevent runaway polymerisation. May form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture. This material is a static accumulator. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge. If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flammable air- vapour mixtures can occur.
