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.

High concentrations of vapor from hot operations may be harmful, cause    
irritation of the respiratory tract, and slight narcotic effects.  
   
Skin Contact: Unlikely to cause skin irritation.    
   
Eye Contact: Dust may cause irritation.    
   
Ingestion: Low oral toxicity.  
   
Long Term Exposure : This material has been in use for many years with no    
evidence of adverse effects.
