Rinse mouth out with plenty of water.
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
· If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
· If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if
possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
· Observe the patient carefully.
· Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness;
i.e. becoming unconscious
· Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can
comfortably drink.
· Seek medical advice.
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
· Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
· Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and
moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
· Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor,
or for at least 15 minutes.
· Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
· Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
If solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin:
· Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
· Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.
· DO NOT use solvents.
· Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.
· If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
· Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
· Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where
possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
· Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
· Transport to hospital, or doctor.
Treat symptomatically.
· Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding area.
Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
· Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves for fire only.
· Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses.
Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot.
Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area.
· The material is not readily combustible under normal conditions.
· However, it will break down under fire conditions and the organic component may burn.
· Not considered to be a significant fire risk.
· Heat may cause expansion or decomposition with violent rupture of containers.
· Decomposes on heating and may produce toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO).
· May emit acrid smoke.
No known incompatibility with normal range of industrial materials.
· Clean up all spills immediately. · Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. · Control personal contact by using protective equipment. · Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth, inert material or vermiculite. · Wipe up. · Place in a suitable labelled container for waste disposal.
Minor hazard. · Clear area of personnel. · Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. · Control personal contact by using protective equipment as required. · Prevent spillage from entering drains or water ways. · Contain spill with sand, earth or vermiculite. · Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling. · Absorb remaining product with sand, earth or vermiculite and place in appropriate containers for disposal. · Wash area and prevent runoff into drains or waterways. · If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise emergency services.

· Safety glasses with side shields; or as required, · Chemical goggles. · Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
Wear general protective gloves: i.e. Disposable polythene gloves or Cotton gloves or Light weight rubber gloves, with Barrier cream preferably Safety footwear.
· Overalls. · Eyewash unit.
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.

None required when handling small quantities. OTHERWISE: Use in a well-ventilated area. Spraying to be carried out in conditions conforming to local state regulations. Unprotected personnel must vacate the spraying area. General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
| Type of Contaminant: | Air Speed: |
| solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank (in still air) | 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min) |
| aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of active generation) | 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.) |
| direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air motion) | 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min) |
| grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion). | 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.) |
| Lower end of the range | Upper end of the range |
| 1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture | 1: Disturbing room air currents |
| 2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only | 2: Contaminants of high toxicity |
| 3: Intermittent, low production. | 3: High production, heavy use |
| 4: Large hood or large air mass in motion | 4: Small hood - local control only |

Product is considered stable and hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments. The liquid is discomforting and may be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting.
The liquid may produce eye discomfort and is capable of causing temporary impairment of vision and/or transient eye inflammation, ulceration. The vapour is mildly discomforting to the eyes.
The liquid is mildly discomforting to the skin but may be capable of causing skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis if exposure is prolonged. The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
The vapour/mist is mildly discomforting to the upper respiratory tract. Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures. Acrylic polymer emulsions may contain residual traces of odourous acrylic monomers; the amounts remaining in compounded mixtures represents a very low order of exposure, however this may become noticeable with some materials particularly in confined or poorly ventilated spaces.
Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact with liquid and inhalation of vapour/spray mist. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritation and possible dermatitis following. As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by observing good occupational work practice.

Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis. The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin. NOTE: Changes in kidney, liver, spleen and lungs are observed in animals exposed to high concentrations of this substance by all routes.
