FLASHPOINT (METHOD): N.A.

UPPER EXPLOSION LIMIT(% BY VOL): N.A.
LOWER EXPLOSION LIMIT(% BY VOL): N.A.
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: N.E.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water spray
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Treat as Class A fire.

ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS:

SKIN CONTACT: There are no known dermal effects arising from short-term exposure.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Not absorbed by skin.
EYE CONTACT: Eye contact may cause irritation and redness.
INHALATION: Inhalation of high levels of vapors or mists may cause
light-headedness, dizziness, headaches or unconsciousness.
INGESTION: Material has a low oral toxicity rating. However, it is not a natural food
and its metabolism is unknown.

CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: None are anticipated. Dust may aggravate symptoms of
bronchitis or may provoke asthmatic responses in persons
with asthma who are sensitive to dusts.

pH: 4 - 8 (4% solution)

SECTION VII - REACTIVITY DATA

CHEMICAL STABILITY: Stable

INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Strong oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or
potassium permanganate will oxidatively cleave the
polymer chain and reduce the molecular weight.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Does not polymerize
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Decomposition is insignificant below 200C. Above
200C, the material yellows and begins to
decompose. Higher temperatures accelerate
decomposition and lead to evolution of acetaldehyde,
crotonaldehyde, acetone and other unknown toxic
products.

SECTION VIII - SPECIAL/PERSONAL PROTECTION

VENTILATION: The use of mechanical ventilation is recommended whenever

this product is used in a confined space. Where engineering
controls are not feasible, assure use is in an area where there
is natural air movement.
