[Storage]
・ Keep container tightly closed and locked up. Store in dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Protect
from sunlight.
[Disposal]
・ Entrust the dispose of contents/containers to authorized waste management firms in accordance
with local/regional/national/international regulations.
・ Wash empty contaminated containers and entrust to dispose in accordance with the standards of
local authority and related regulations/laws.
OTHER HAZARDS OUTSIDE THE GHS CLASSIFICATION :
In case of dispose by incineration process, the temperature of incineration has to be higher than 900°C
since it may cause the occurrence of Hydrogen Cyanide Gas.
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
INHALATION : Move the victim to fresh air. Keep warm by blanket and rest in a
position comfortable for breathing. Get medical attention
immediately. If breathing stopped or breathing difficulties, loosen the
buttons and rest in a position comfortable for breathing and give
artificial respiration.

SKIN CONTACT : Take off all contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash the affected
skin with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention immediately.
EYE CONTACT : Rinse cautiously with flowing water for more than 15 minutes.
Get medical attention immediately. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do, and continue rinsing.
INGESTION : Induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
If the victim is unconscious, never give anything by mouth.
SIGNIFICANT SYMPTOMS :
EYE : Causes serious eye damage.
SKIN : Causes skin irritation. May cause an allergic skin reaction.
INHALATION : May cause respiratory irritation.
DIGESTION : May cause burns to mouth, throat and stomach.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL PERFORMING EMERGENCY MEASURES :
・ Never give an artificial respiration by mouth-to-mouth. Use specific tools to give artificial respiration.
・ Wear protective gloves or respirator.
PRECAUTION FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT :
・ When seeking medical attention by a doctor, provide this SDS and other information regarding this
material.
・ If inhaled Acrylonitrile , call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
CONTROL PARAMETER :
・ ACGIH TLV- TWA : 2 ppm ( 4.3 mg/m3) Skin Absorption.
・ Japan Society for Occupational Health (Version Y2010) : 2 ppm (4.3 mg/m3) Skin Absorption.
・ Notification of Department of Labor Protection and Welfare , Thailand TLV-TWA : 2 ppm. 24)
ENGINEERING PROTECTION CONTROL :
・ Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment.
・ Take the safety measures to prevent static electrical accidents.
・ In case of closed area or indoors, the sources of vapor should be sealed or closed tightly, or Local Exhaust
Ventilator should be installed.
・ Provide Emergency shower, hand washing, eye washing at the vicinity and indicate the location by signs
remarkable.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS :
Respiratory Protection : Gas Mask (Canister must be a type of organic gasses or Hydrogen
Cyanide). In case of high concentration, use air-supplied respirator
such as air-line mask or SCBA.
Eye Protection : Goggles , Face Protection.
Protective Glove , Clothing : Rubber Gloves (Butyl Rubber) and impermeable and electrostatic-
proof chemical suit and long rubber boot.
REACTION : Strong reaction if in contact with strong acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents.
STABILITY : Stable when added Polymerization Inhibitor.
POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS REACTION :
・ Become extreme reaction by Double-Bond Polymerization Monomer.
・ If there was polymerization reaction caused by sunlight/ strong acid/ strong alkali, it has a possibility of
explosion.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID : High temperature, sunlight.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS : Strong oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis.
