HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Emergency Overview
Skin, eye and upper respiratory tract irritation.
Potential skin sensitization.
Central nervous system effects from inhalation overexposure.
Moderately toxic by ingestion.
Flammable liquid (Part A).
COR014 DuPont Page 2
Material Safety Data Sheet
(HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION - Continued)
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation exposure may result in nausea, drowsiness,
dizziness, headache and other central nervous system
effects. Vapors can irritate eyes and nasal passages.
Direct contact with eyes may result in irritation with
inflammation of the cornea or conjuntiva. Prolonged or
repeated contact with skin may result in skin irritation,
contact dermatitis, rash, itching and swelling. The product
is moderately toxic by ingestion.
Since this mixture has not been tested as a whole to
determine the hazards by all routes of exposure, information
is provided for each hazardous component of the mixture to
meet requirements of OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard
(29 CFR 1910.1200). The effects noted occur from exposure
to the pure component unless otherwise noted.
INFORMATION FOR COMPONENTS
Inhalation of Methyl methacrylate may cause irritation of the
upper respiratory passages; nonspecific discomfort, such as
nausea, headache, or weakness; temporary lung irritation effects
with cough, discomfort, difficulty breathing, or shortness of
breath. On rare occassions, cases of abnormal kidney function as
detected by laboratory tests and temporary changes in blood
pressure have been reported.
Skin contact with Methyl methacrylate may cause skin irritation
with discomfort or rash; or allergic skin rashes. Evidence from
animal tests suggests that skin permeation may occur. Direct
contact to Methyl Methacrylate may cause temporary coldness or
numbness of the extremities.
Eye contact with Methyl Methacrylate may cause severe eye
irritation with discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision, or
possible corneal damage.
In one study, excess colon and rectal cancer was observed in a
group of workers employed between 1933-1945 in operations that
entailed prolonged, extremely high exposures to the vapor phase of
ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate monomer, and to volatile
by-products of the ethyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate
polymerization process. In a follow-up of this study, and in an
additional study on workers employed in the same types of
operations, but after 1945 and at different plant sites, no
increased risk of cancer was observed.
Increased susceptibility to the effects of Methyl methacrylate may
be observed in persons with pre-existing disease of the skin or
lungs.
COR014 DuPont Page 3
Material Safety Data Sheet
(HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION - Continued)
Skin contact with benzoyl peroxide may cause skin irritation
with discomfort or rash; or allergic skin rashes. Benzoyl
Peroxide may cause skin sensitization in susceptible humans.
Eye contact with Benzoyl Peroxide may cause irritation with
discomfort, tearing, or blurring of vision.
Inhalation of Benzoyl Peroxide may cause irritation of the
upper respiratory passages, with coughing and discomfort.
Individuals with preexisting diseases of the skin may have
increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive
exposures.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid
INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and water.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
EYE CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
Ingestion is not an expected route of exposure during normal use
of the product. If ingested, consult a physician immediately.
All cases of ingestion should be referred immediately to a
physician or Poison Control Center. Vomiting should be induced
only as advised and by the means specified.

375 F (191 C) Method: COC (for Part B)
Flammable limits in Air, % by Volume
LEL : 2.1 (Part A); 0.47 (Part B)
UEL : 12.5 (Part A)
Part A:
Flammable liquid. Vapor forms explosive mixture with air.
Vapors or gases are heavier than air and may travel
considerable distances to an ignition source and flash back.
Susceptible to spontaneous heating. Sealed containers may
rupture explosively due to polymerization if exposed to
elevated temperatures.
Part B:
Peroxides and decomposition products are flammable and can
ignite with explosive force if confined.
Extinguishing Media
Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.
Use chemical foams for extinguishing flaming pools of
material.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Evacuate personnel to a safe area. Wear self-contained breathing
apparatus. Wear full protective equipment. Use water spray.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards (Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Initial Containment
Remove source of heat, sparks, flame, impact, friction or
electricity. Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or
low areas.
Spill Clean Up
Soak up with sand, oil dry, or other noncombustible absorbent
materials.
Scrape up and hold for proper disposal.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling (Personnel)
Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not get in eyes. Avoid contact
with skin. Avoid contact with clothing. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Wash contaminated clothing prior to reuse. Do not
store or consume food, drink or tobacco in areas where they may
become contaminated with this material.
Handling (Physical Aspects)
Use of non-sparking and explosion-proof equipment may be necessary
depending on type of operation. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flames. Close container after each use.
Store in a cool, dark place. Store below 70 F (21 C). Store in a
well ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
