Unusual fire and Explosion Hazards

The dried resin is flammable similar to wood. Burning dry resin emits dense, black

smoke. Suspended material is not flammable.

Reactivity Data

Incompatibilities: May irreversibly aggregate if frozen at 0ºC / 32ºF. Dried resin

is combustible. Addition of chemicals may cause coagulation.

Hazardous Combustion or Decomposition Products: Poly methyl methacrylate

and carbon monoxide depending on condition of heating and burning.


Eyes: Mild irritation

Skin Contact: Short exposure; no irritation. Repeated prolonged exposure,

especially if confined; mild irritation, possibly a mild superficial burn.

Skin Absorption: Not likely to be absorbed in toxic amounts. Possibly weak

sensitizer.

Ingestion: Low single dose toxicity.

Inhalation: No guide established. Considered to be low in hazard from inhalation.

Systemic and Other Effects: None known.

First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flushing the eye immediately with water for 15 minutes is a good safety

practice. Physician should stain for evidence of corneal injury.

Skin: Contact may cause slight irritation. Wash off in flowing water or shower.

Wash clothing before reuse. Treat as any contact dermatitis. If burn is present, treat

as any thermal burn.

Ingestion: Low in toxicity. Induce vomiting if large amounts are ingested.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult medical personnel.

Systemic: Human effects not established. No specific antidote. Treatment based on

sound judgment of physician and the individual reactions of the patient.


Ventilation: Good room ventilation usually adequate for most operations.

Respiratory protection: None normally needed. In cases where there is a

likelihood of inhalation exposure to dried particles, wear a NIOSH approved dust

respirator.

Storage: Store at temperatures between 4ºC and 8ºC. Material may develop

bacteria odor on long term storage. No safety problems known. Do not freeze.


Action to take for spills: Flush area with water immediately. Avoid unnecessary

exposure and contact.

Disposal Considerations

Will color streams and rivers to a milky white. Has practically no biological

oxygen demand but will settle out and form sludge or film. May plug up sanitary

sewers. Divert to pond or burn solid waste in an adequate incinerator. Flush sewers

with large amounts of water.

Control Measures

Respiratory Protection: None normally needed. In cases where there is a

likelihood of inhalation exposure to dried particles, wear a NIOSH approved dust

respirator.

Wash/Hygienic Practices: Wash with soap and water when leaving work area and

before eating, smoking and using restroom facilities.

MSDS of Polystyrene


Not hazardous according to UN GHS, EU Regulation EC 1272/2008, or Directive

67/548/EEC

Inhalation (powder): May be harmful if inhaled. May cause upper respiratory

tract & mucous membrane irritation. There is a possibility that a fraction of this

material may also be respirable.

Skin and Eyes: May cause mechanical irritation. May contain very small particles

which may be harmful by absorption through skin and mucous membranes.

Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.

Emergency First Aid Procedures

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, if breathing becomes difficult call for medical

help.

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of soap and

water

Eye Contact: First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact

lenses if easily possible), ensure lids remain open during flushing, then refer for

medical attention.

If Swallowed: Rinse mouth with water if conscious, refer for medical attention if

unwell.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Main Hazard: Combustible powder or viscous liquid. Powder may form explosive

mixture with air if ignited while airborne.

Extinguishing Method: In case of fire: Use foam for extinction.

Special Fire Fighting Procedure: Wear self contained breathing apparatus with

full face shield operated in positive pressure mode, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or

equivalent), and full protective gear.

Unusual Fire Hazards and Explosion Hazards: Will produce black acrid smoke

if burned. There is a risk of fine powders of this type exploding if the powder is

ignited whilst airborne.


General Information ventilates the area thoroughly and shut off sources of ignition.

If necessary evacuate the area. Use protective equipment as detailed in section 8.

Spills/Leaks: Clean up spills only after any airborne dust has settled and while

protected.

Avoid generating dust. Damp down and wet with warm water and plenty of

detergent, and gather up, placing in a closed container for disposal. Do not wash

away into sewers.


Read the Suppliers’ Users Guide carefully before commissioning or using the

product. Store in tightly closed containers at ambient temperature away from

sources of heat. Read and follow the suppliers’ safety data sheets for any solvents

used to pack or use the product.


Use inhalation exposure limits applicable for non-specific dusts.

Use local mechanical ventilation, i.e. use LEV suitable for handling powders.
