SECTION III: COMPOSITION AND INFORMATION ON DANGEROUS INGREDIENTS NAME CAS # % WEIGHT EXPOSURE LIMIT (ACGIH) TLV-TWA TLV-STEL Methyl methacrylate (MMA) 80-62-6 15-40 50 ppm 100 ppm 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) 103-11-7 7-13 Not available Diisopropanol-P-toluidine (DPPT) 38668-48-3 0.1-1 Not available Effects of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure EYE CONTACT MMA: MMA is probably a mild to moderate eye irritant, based on INHALATION animal information. (1) MMA: MMA is extremely volatile and can easily form high vapour concentration at room temperatures. Low concentrations are probably 2-EHA: 2-EHA is a very mild irritant based on animal information. (1) irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Higher concentrations DPPT: Irritating to eyes and respiratory system. (2) can probably cause symptoms of CNS depression, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion. Very high concentrations INGESTION may cause loss of consciousness and possibly death. Due to its MMA: Based on animal evidence, ingestion of MMA is likely to irritating nature, MMA may cause a potentially fatal accumulation of produce signs and symptoms of CNS depression. Ingestion is not a fluid in the lungs. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, pain in typical route of occupational exposure. (1) the chest and difficulty breathing. Symptoms may not develop for up to 2-EHA: May be harmful if swallowed. (2) 24 hours after exposure. (1) DPPT: Harmful if swallowed. (2) 2-EHA: 2-EHA is irritating to respiratory tract. (2) Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure DPPT: Irritating to the respiratory system. (2) SKIN SENSITIZATION SKIN CONTACT MMA: MMA is a skin sensitizer. There are numerous reports of MMA: MMA is probably a mild to moderate skin irritant, based on allergic skin sensitization developing in people occupationally exposed animal information and limited human information. Mild redness was to products containing MMA or MMA itself. These findings are observed in approximately 16/50 volunteers, after a 48 hour exposure supported by positive patch testing results. Once a person is sensitized to cotton saturated with MMA. MMA can be absorbed through the skin to a material, contact with even a small amount causes outbreaks of but no harmful effects would be expected by this route of exposure. dermatitis with symptoms such as skin redness, itching, rash and Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause allergic skin swelling. This can spread from the hands or arms to other parts of the sensitization. (1) body. (1) 2-EHA: 2-EHA is a severe irritant based on animal information. (1) 2-EHA: 2-EHA is a skin sensitizer based on animal information. Sensitization in humans has also been reported. Several case studies DPPT: Prolonged contact with the product can result in skin have reported dermatitis and hand eczema in workers exposed to 2- irritation. (2) EHA in adhesives, glues, inks and other products. Positive patch test reactions were obtained for 2-EHA in many of these workers. (1) DPPT: Skin sensitizing effects were not observed in animal studies. (2)
