Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless liquid. Flash Point: 48 deg C.
Danger! May be fatal if swallowed. May polymerize explosively on loss of inhibitor.
Causes digestive and respiratory tract burns. Causes eye and skin burns. Flammable
liquid and vapor. Harmful if absorbed through skin or if inhaled. Stench. This material
has been reported to be susceptible to autoxidation and therefore should be classified as
peroxidizable. Do not freeze. Corrosive to carbon steel. This substance has caused
adverse reproductive and fetal effects in animals. Hazardous due to peroxide initiation of

polymerization.
Target Organs: Eyes, reproductive system, skin, mucous membranes.

Potential Health Effects

Eye: May result in corneal injury. Causes severe eye irritation and burns. Direct contact
with the liquid may cause blindness.
Skin: Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Causes severe skin
irritation and burns. Acrylic acid is a definite skin sensitizer by the guinea pig
maximization test, but it is not by the Draize test.
Ingestion: May be fatal if swallowed. May cause corrosion and permanent tissue
destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract.
Inhalation: May cause liver and kidney damage. Causes chemical burns to the
respiratory tract. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Inhalation of vapors causes
nasal irritation. Acrylic acid caused slight focal degeneration of the olfactory mucosa in
mice exposed intermittently at 5 ppm. It caused changes in respiratory rate and volume
in unanesthetized rats exposed at irritating concentrations.
Chronic: Acrylic acid caused teratogenic and embryotoxic effects in rats injected
intraperitoneally at dose levels as low as 4.7 and 8 mg/kg of body weight.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a t least 15
minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid immediately.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. If
victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in

pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike and collect water used to fight fire.
Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic
gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to
keep fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable liquid and vapor. May polymerize

explosively when involved in a fire. May accumulate static electrical charges, and may
cause ignition of its own vapors. Closed containers may rupture violently when heated.
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors
can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Fight fire from
protected location or maximum possible distance.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, "alcohol resistant" foam, or
carbon dioxide.
Flash Point: 48 deg C ( 118.40 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 438 deg C ( 820.40 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:2.0%
Upper: 8.0%
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 2; Instability: 2

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in

Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then
place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide
ventilation. Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors, protect personnel, and dilute
spills to form nonflammable mixtures.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash
before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep
container tightly closed. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Do not use steam or electrical heating systems such as coils, jackets, tapes, mantles,
lights, etc. to thaw any solidified monomer. The application of concentrated heat will
cause polymerization and possibly rupture the container. Keep away from heat, sparks
and flame. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Pure vapor will be uninhibited and may
polymerize in vents or other confined spaces. Use only with adequate ventilation or
respiratory protection.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Keep from freezing. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, wellventilated area away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Store only in
glass, stainless steel, aluminum or polyethylene-lined equipment. Separate from
oxidizing materials.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Acrylamide

Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid.
Warning! Acrylamide may cause nervous system damage. Acrylamide caused cancer
and male reproductive disorders in laboratory animal tests. Acrylamide may polymerize
explosively if heated to 183F (84C). Acrylamide may form explosive dust-air mixtures.
Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Causes eye irritation. May
cause allergic skin reaction. Cancer suspect agent. Light sensitive. Air sensitive.
Target Organs: Eyes, nervous system, reproductive system, skin.

Potential Health Effects

Eye: Causes eye irritation. Acrylamide can be absorbed through the eyes and
overexposure will produce the signs and symptoms of neurotoxicity described below.
Skin: May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon reexposure to this material. Acrylamide is readily absorbed through unbroken skin and can
cause nervous system effects (neurotoxicity). These effects can result from a single
overexposure but are more likely after repeated exposures to small amounts over a
period of days or weeks. Signs and symptoms of overexposure include increased
sweating of the hands and feet, numbness, tingling and weakness in the extremities,
unsteady gait and decreased reflexes. If the exposure route is dermal, the symptoms
may be preceded by peeling and redness of the skin at the areas of exposure, normally
the hands and feet.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous
system effects. Central nervous system effects, which appear to predominate in acute
cases, are characterized by abnormal fatigue, memory difficulties, and dizziness.
Peripheral neuropathy symptoms, which are more common with repeated low-dose
exposure or following a latency period of up to several weeks after acute exposure can
include: muscular weakness, paresthesia, numbness in hands, feet, lower legs, and
lower arms, unsteadiness, and difficulties in walking and standing. Autonomic nervous
system involvement is indicated by excessive sweating, peripheral vasodilation and
difficulties in micturation and defecation.
Inhalation: Acrylamide tends to sublime (go directly from solid to vapor form) which
may lead to inhalation exposure. Acrylamide can be absorbed through the lungs and
overexposure will produce the signs and symptoms of neurotoxicity described above.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause cancer
according to animal studies. Adverse reproductive effects have been reported in animals.
Prolonged or repeated exposure affects the nervous system.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a t least 15
minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid immediately.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Either acute or chronic exposure may lead to weak or absent
reflexes, positive Romberg's sign, loss of vibration and position senses and numbness
and tingling of the limbs. An early sign of toxic effects is peeling of the skin of the
fingertips.
Antidote: Pyridoxine (vitamin B6), pyruvate, and N-acetylcysteine have been used to
reduce the toxicity of acrylamide in experimental studies, but are unproven.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: Pyridoxine (vitamin B6), pyruvate, and N-acetylcysteine have

been used to reduce the toxicity of acrylamide in experimental studies, but are
unproven. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Use water spray to
keep fire-exposed containers cool. Dust can be an explosion hazard when exposed to
heat or flame. Combustible solid. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors
and toxic decomposition products. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned
hose holders or monitor nozzles.
