SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: For Monomer:

Physical hazards

Unstable/Reactive upon depletion of inhibitor. Check inhibitor levels periodically. Acute Hazards: Ingestion: Causes irritation, a burning sensation of the mouth, throat and respiratory tract and abdominal pain. Eyes: Eye contact may cause irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision. Inhalation: High concentrations can be irritating to the respiratory tract and may cause dizziness, headache and anesthetic effects. Skin: May cause skin irritation and skin sensitization. Extensive/prolonged or repeated exposure to this material may result in a more severe skin response. Symptoms may be delayed. Chronic Hazards: None Listed. Note to Physicians: This product contains N,N-Dimethyl-p-Toluidine at a low concentration (Refer to Section 2). While complications from this component are not expected, absorption leads to formation of methemoglobin, which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis. Symptoms may include headaches, weakness and dizziness, and can be recognized by the blue color of the lips, fingernails, nose and earlobes. Reversion of methemoglobin to hemoglobin occurs spontaneously after termination of exposure, moderate degree of cyanosis need to be treated only by supportive measures such as bed rest and oxygen inhalation. Thorough cleansing of the entire contaminated area of the body is of utmost importance. If cyanosis is severe, intravenous injection of methylene blue, 1-2 mg/kg body weight over a 5 minute period as a 1 % solution may be of value. If elevated methemoglobin persists after an hour, the treatment may be repeated, but the total dose should not exceed 7 mg/kg body weight. Cyanocobalmin (Vitamin B-12), 1 mg intramuscularly is reported to speed recovery. Intravenous fluids and blood transfusions may be indicated in very severe exposures. CARCINOGENICITY: Alkyl Dimethacrylate may contain trace quantities of substances known to the state of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity. None of the other components of this material are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH as carcinogens.
