1. Identification of the substance/preparation and of the company/undertaking
Identification of the product Product name: 2960 Manufacturer/supplier identification Company: Eternal chemical company Contact for information: Emergency telephone No.: 07-3838181
2. Composition/information on ingredients
Ingredient Percent CAS Index No./EC No. Molar mass Molecular formula Symbol polymer 55 styrene 45 100-42-5
3. Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Flammable. Pungent styrene odor. Causes skin and eye irritation. Inhalation causes headaches, nausea. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: effects of overexposure: for styrene EYE : causes mild eye irritation SKIN: causes skin irritation INHALATION: causes headaches, nausea. INGESTION: harmful if liquid is aspirated into lungs.
4. First aid measures
After inhalation: If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention. After skin contact: Immediately wash exposed skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and thoroughly clean and dry before reuse. Get immediate medical attention. After eye contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists. After swallowing: do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam water fog, applied gently may be used as a blanket for fire extinguishment. Special risks: May form toxic materials (carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbons.) Special protective equipment for fire fighting: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing . Other information: Dense smoke is produced when product burns. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a long distance and accumulate in low areas.
6. Accidental release measures
Person-related precautionary measures: Do not breathe vapors. Eliminate all sources
of ignition in Vicinity of spill or released Vapor to avoid fire or explosion. Check area with explosion meter before reentering area. Environmental-Protection measures: Evacuate upwind of spills and contain with dike. Procedures for cleaning/absorption: Pump with explosion-proof equipment, Remove residual with hot soapy water, Solvents are not recommended for cleanup unless the recommended.
7. Handling and storage
Handling: Empty containers may retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor).Do not expose these containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity. Storage: Store away from heat, ignition sources, and open flame in accordance with applicable regulations. Keep container closed.
8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Specific control parameter: Styrene monomer: ACGIH TLV is 20ppm TWA,40ppm STEL, skin. ACGIH classifies as A4. OSHA PEL is 50ppm TWA, 100ppm STEL, The styrene PEL and STEL are in accordance with the OSHA-industry agreement dated March, 1996. Personal protective equipment: Respiratory protection: Use with adequate ventilation. If ventilation is inadequate, use NIOSH certified respirator that will protect against organic vapor and dust/mist. Eye protection: Do not get in eyes. Wear chemical goggles. Hand protection: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact. Wear protective gloves such as :neoprene, nitrite rubber. Industrial hygiene:
Conditions to be avoided: Exposure to excessive heat or direct sunshine or open flame;
storage in open containers; storage above 38*C(100*F) Contamination with oxidizing agents. Substances to be avoided: strong alkalis, strong mineral acids and oxidizing agents. Hazardous decomposition products: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Low Molecular Weight Hydrocarbon, Organic Acids. Further information: Unstable at elevated temperature.
