 SKIN CONTACT :
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove clothing. Get immediate medical
attention.
 EYE CONTACT :
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate
medical attention.
 INGESTION :
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give victim one or two glasses of milk or
water. Call a physician immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.

5. FIRE-FIGTHING MEASURES

 SUITABLE EXTINGUISH MEDIA :

Use powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, a large amount of water
 SPECIFIC METHODS OF FIRE-FIGTHING :
Shut off fuel to fire if possible to do so without hazard. Apply water from a safe
distance to cool and protect surrounding area. Keep personnel removed from and
upwind of fire.
 SPECIAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE PROTECTION OF FIREFIGHTERS :
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full face peace operated in
positive pressure mode and full protective gear.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

 PERSONAL PRECAUTION :
Evacuate personnel from the lee. Evacuate non essential personnel. Shut off all sources
of ignition; No flares, smoking, or flames in the area. Wear proper protective
equipment. .
 ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTION :
Do not pour into natural waterway or public drainage system.
Because odor is strong, you manage appropriately such that you inform the fact to the
resident that leakage occurred.
 METHODS FOR CLEANING UP :
Remove the spilt liquid using appropriate absorbent such as sand, sawdust, or rags.
According to the situation, use caustic soda of 5 to 10 % for neutralization. Then wash
with plenty of water and treat the washing as waste water. Low concentration waste
water from Acrylic Acid is treated by activated sludge process.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

 HANDLING :
 Appropriate technical measure :
Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use only
in a well-ventilated area. Do not breathe vapor. Prevent build-up of electrostatic
charges.

 Precautions for safe handling of the chemical product.

Don’t leak, overflow, and scatter. Minimize vapor generation and accumulation.
Shut off all source of ignition; no flares, smoking or flames in the area. Avoid falling,
dropping, shocking and dragging a container.

polymerization may occur.) The electrical apparatus makes explosion-proof
construction. The tank and apparatus are grounded. When product solidifies, a portion
little inhibitor is formed. If product is melt at high temperature, container may rupture
or explode. Melt only in the water bath under 40 oC.
