HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
_____________________________________________________________________________
************EMERGENCY OVERVIEW********************************
* Solid granules. May evolve irritating fumes on processing *
* or overheating. *
**************************************************************
Potential Health Effects:
EYE: Dust may cause irritation.
SKIN: Unlikely to cause skin irritation.
INGESTION: Low oral toxicity.
INHALATION: Unlikely to be hazardous but dust or vapors may cause
irritation.
CHRONIC (CANCER) INFORMATION: No evidence of adverse effects but adverse
effects unlikely.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECT) INFORMATION: No information but adverse effects
unlikely.
REPRODUCTIVE INFORMATION: No information but adverse effects unlikely.
_____________________________________________________________________________
FIRST AID MEASURES
_____________________________________________________________________________
Inhalation: Remove patient from exposure. Obtain medical attention if ill
effects occur.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap and water
Eye Contact: Remove particles by irrigating with eye wash solution or
clean water, holding the eyelids apart. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water. Obtain
medical attention if ill effects occur.
Further Medical Treatment: Symptomatic treatment and supportive therapy as
indicated.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
_____________________________________________________________________________
Flammable Properties
Flash Point : 300 C (572 F)
Method : ASTM D1929
Combustible but not readily ignited. May form explosible dust clouds in
air. May decompose if heated above 200 Deg C. Combustion or thermal
decomposition will evolve toxic, irritant and flammable vapors.
Incompatible materials: None known.
Extinguishing Media: water spray, foam, dry powder or C02.
Fire Fighting Protective Equipment : A self-contained breathing apparatus
and full protective clothing should be worn in fire conditions.
_____________________________________________________________________________
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
_____________________________________________________________________________
Caution - spillages may be slippery. Sweep up and shovel into waste drums
or plastic bags. Wash the spillage area with water.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
_____________________________________________________________________________
STORAGE
"ELVACITE" acrylic polymers are supplied in either drums or other specialty
packaging. Keep containers in a clean, cool and dry area away from heat
sources. Natural ventilation is adequate.
Storage Temperature : ambient.
Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged skin contact. Avoid inhalation of
high concentrations of dusts.
HANDLING
Process Hazards
Care should be taken to prevent burns from contact with hot material. All
polymers degrade to some extent if over heated, an effect which increases
with increasing temperature. It is therefore impossible to be precise about
which substances may be evolved. However, it is only the minor components
which vary substantially. The major components are given in the "STABILITY
AND REACTIVITY" section.
_____________________________________________________________________________
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
_____________________________________________________________________________
Normal handling: the use of eye protection is recommended. An approved dust
mask should be worn if exposure to high levels of dust are likely.
