4. FIRST AID MEASURES

FIRST AID MEASURES FOR ACCIDENTAL:

Eye Exposure:
Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

Skin Exposure:
In case of contact, immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 5 minutes. Seek medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Clean contaminated clothing and shoes before re-use.

Inhalation:
Inhalation is not an expected route of exposure. Remove victim from immediate source of exposure and assure that the victim is breathing. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen, if available. If victim is not breathing, administer CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation). Seek medical attention.

Ingestion:
Wash out mouth with water and keep at rest. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a physician.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:

Treat symptomatically. No specific antidote available.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FIRE HAZARD DATA:

Flash Point:
98 C (209 F). Flammability Class: WILL BURN.

Method Used:
Closed cup

Flammability Limits (vol/vol%):	Lower:	Upper:
	No Data	No Data

Extinguishing Media:
Recommended (small fires): carbon dioxide, dry chemical, Recommended (large fire): alcohol foam, universal foam, water spray.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Firefighters should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Cool containers exposed to fire with water.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Product will burn under fire conditions. High temperatures and fire conditions may cause rapid and uncontrolled polymerization which can result in explosions and the violent rupture of storage vessels or containers.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Evacuation Procedures and Safety:
Spontaneous polymerization can occur. Personnel handling this material should be thoroughly trained to handle spills and releases. Eliminate all sources of ignition until the area is determined to be free from explosion or fire hazards. Place leaking containers in a well-ventilated area.

Containment of Spill:
Dike spill using absorbent or impervious materials such as earth, sand or clay. Follow procedure described below under Cleanup and Disposal of Spill.

Cleanup and Disposal of Spill:
Absorb with an inert absorbent. Shovel up into an appropriate closed container (see Section 7: Handling and Storage). Clean up residual material by washing area with water. Collect washings for disposal.

Environmental and Regulatory Reporting:
Do not flush to drain. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Prevent material from entering public sewer system or any waterways. Spills may be reportable to the National Response Center (800-424-8802) and to state and/or local agencies.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Minimum/Maximum Storage Temperatures:
< 49 C (120 F)

Handling:
Personnel handling this product should be thoroughly trained as to its hazards. Dissolved air is required for inhibitor to function. To prevent loss of inhibitor, do not blanket or sparge with nitrogen. Keep containers closed when not being used. Avoid breathing vapors and mists. Avoid direct or prolonged contact with skin and eyes. DO NOT ALLOW TO FREEZE.

Storage:
SHIP AND STORE BELOW 120 F Store in an area that is dry, well-ventilated, away from ignition sources, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10. Stability and Reactivity), To maintain activity level of MEHQ inhibitor, air must be occasionally sparged into sealed containers Recommended container material: opaque or amber glass.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Introductory Remarks:
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product. Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. While developing safe handling procedures, do not overlook the need to clean equipment and piping systems for maintenance and repairs. Waste resulting from these procedures should be handled in accordance with Section 13: Disposal Considerations.

Assistance with selection, use and maintenance of worker protection equipment is generally available from equipment manufacturers.

Exposure Guidelines:
No exposure limits were found for this product or any of its ingredients.

Engineering Controls:
Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential for excessive exposure exists, the following traditional exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee exposures: process isolation and remote control, local exhaust ventilation at the point of generation.

Respiratory Protection:
When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards and/or industrial recommendations.

For reasonably foreseeable industrial end uses of this material, respiratory protection should not be necessary. Under conditions immediately dangerous to life or health, or emergency conditions with unknown concentrations, use a full-face positive pressure air-supplied respirator equipped with an emergency escape air supply unit or use a self-contained breathing apparatus unit.

Eye/Face Protection:
Eye and face protection requirements will vary dependent upon work environment conditions and material handling practices. Appropriate ANSI Z87 approved equipment should be selected for the particular use intended for this material.

Eye contact should be prevented through use of chemical safety glasses with side shields or splash proof goggles. An emergency eye wash must be readily accessible to the work area. Face contact should be prevented through use of a face shield.

Skin Protection:
Skin contact should be prevented through use of suitable protective clothing, gloves and footwear, selected with regard for use conditions and exposure potential. If used correctly, an appropriate barrier cream, selected by a competent health professional, may be useful for preventing hand and forearm skin effects from contact with this product. Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation resistance.

Work Practice Controls:
Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and the following general measures should be taken when working with or handling this material:

(1)	Do not store, use, and/or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in areas where this material is stored.
(2)	Wash hands and face carefully before eating, drinking, using tobacco, applying cosmetics, or using the toilet.
(3)	Wash exposed skin promptly to remove accidental splashes or contact with this material.
