must be weighed against possible oral toxicity (See Section 2 - Swallowing) when
deciding whether to induce vomiting.
Treatment: No information available.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media
WaterFoamDry chemical
Hazardous combustion products
May form:, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, phenols, toxic fumes, various
hydrocarbons
Precautions for fire-fighting
Material is volatile and readily gives off vapors which may travel along the
ground or be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, flames, sparks, heaters,
smoking, electric motors, static discharge or other ignition sources at locations near the
material handling point. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty)
because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively. During a fire, irritating or
toxic decomposition products may be generated.Wear full firefighting turn-out gear (full
Bunker gear), and respiratory protection (SCBA). DO NOT direct a solid stream of
water or foam into hot, burning pools of liquid since this may cause frothing and increase
fire intensity. Frothing can be violent and possibly endanger any firefighter standing too
close to the burning liquid. Polymerization will take place under fire conditions. If
polymerization occurs in a closed container, there is a possibility it will rupture violently.
Cool storage container with water, if exposed to fire.

For personal protection see section 8. Eliminate all ignition sources (flares,
flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks). Persons not wearing protective equipment
should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at
source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent
from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum
transfer spilled product to clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product.
Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal.
Environmental precautions
Prevent run-off to sewers, streams or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs,
notify proper authorities as required, that a spill has occurred.
Methods for cleaning up
Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent material.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied
containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions
given in the data sheet must be observed. Avoid prolonged or frequently repeated skin
contact with this material. Skin contact can be minimized by wearing impervious
protective gloves. As with all products of this nature, good personal hygiene is essential.
Hands and other exposed areas should be washed thoroughly with soap and water after
contact, especially before eating and/or smoking. Regular laundering of contaminated
clothing is essential to reduce indirect skin contact with this material. Do not use pressure
to empty container. Static ignition hazard can result from handling and use. Electrically
bond and ground all containers, personnel and equipment before transfer or use of
material. Special precautions may be necessary to dissipate static electricity for non-
conductive containers. Use proper bonding and grounding during product transfer as
described in National Fire Protection Association document NFPA 77. Warning. Sudden
release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at
elevated temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may
result in ignitions without the presence of obvious ignition sources. Published
"autoignition" or "ignition" temperature values cannot be treated as safe operating
temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the actual process conditions.
Any use of this product in elevated temperature processes should be thoroughly evaluated
to establish and maintain safe operating conditions. Spills of these organic materials on
hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition temperatures possibly
resulting in spontaneous combustion.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area, away from incompatible substances. Do not
store near extreme heat, open flame, or sources of ignition. Maintain inhibitor and
dissolved oxygen level. Do not blanket or purge with an inert gas to avoid depleting the
oxygen concentration. Store out of direct sunlight.

General advice
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product.
Personal protective equipment should be selected for individual applications and should
consider factors which affect exposure potential, such as handling practices, chemical
concentrations and ventilation. It is ultimately the responsibility of the employer to
follow regulatory guidelines established by local authorities.
Exposure controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to
maintain exposure below TLV(s). OSHA has formally endorsed a styrene industry
proposal for a voluntary 50 ppm workplace limit on styrene. Members of the Styrene
Information and Research Council (SIRC), Composites Institute (CI), Composite
Fabricators Association (CFA), International Cast Polymers Association (ICPA) and
National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) have agreed to use either
engineering controls, work practices or respiratory protection to achieve this voluntary
limit for styrene.
