               Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipme#:  Goggles or face shield;
               rubber gloves; Srmptoms Following Exposure: Inhalation causes mild irritation of nose and throat. Eyes
               are mildly irritated by vapor, more severely by liquid. Prolonged contact of liquid with skin may cause
               irritation; Geneml Treatmentfor Exposure: INHALATION: move to fresh air. EYES: flush with water
               for at least 15 min. after contact with liquid. SKIN: wipe off, wash well with soap and water; Toxicity
               by Inhalation  (Threshold Limit Value): Data not  available; Short-Term Inhalation Limits: Data  not
               available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 1; LD,,  5 to 15 g/kg; Lute Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor
               (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Vapors causes a slight smarting of the eyes or respiratory system if
               present in high concentrations. The effect  is temporary; Liquid  or Solid Irritant Characteristics:
               Minimum hazard. If spilled on clothing and allowed to remain, may cause smarting and reddening of
               skin; Odor Z7zreshld Data not available.
               Fire Hazards -  Flash  Point  (deg.  F): 240 OC;  Flammable  Limits  in Air  (96):  No  data;  Fire
               Extinguishing Agents: Foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To Be
               Used: Water may be ineffective; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Not pertinent; Behavior in
               Fire: May polymerize to form a gummy material, but the reaction is not violent; Ignition Ternpermre
               : No data; Electrical Hazard: No data; Burning Rate: Not pertinent.
               Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No
               reactions; Stability During Transport: Stable if inhibited; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics:
               Not pertinent; Polymerization: In the absence of inhibitor, polymerization will occur, especially when
               heated; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Monomethyl Ether of Hydroquinone (25 ppm).
