marked by rough, dry cracki skin. Prolonged or repeated eye exposures to vapors may cause irritation <br /> to the lining of the eyelids. In laboratory animals, chronic exposure to styrene at high concentrations has <br /> been found to cause liver abnormalities, kidney damage and lung damage. In addition, preliminary <br /> results of inhalation studies indicate that laboratory rats exposed to 800 ppm styrene via inhalation <br /> showed evidence of hearing loss. Relevance to humans remains unclear. See Section 11 of MSDS for <br /> additional toxicological data. <br /> Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Persons with a history of chronic respiratory disease, <br /> skin disease, or central or peripheral nervous system disorders may be at increased risk for worsening <br /> their condition from exposure to this product. <br /> SECTION 4: First Aid Measures <br /> Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Administer cardiac or pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if a pulse is <br /> not detectable or if unable to breathe. Provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Obtain immediate medical <br /> assistance. <br /> Eve Contact: Flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation <br /> persists. <br /> Skin Contact: Wash with mild soap and running water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. <br /> Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Prevent aspiration. Transport to hospital immediately. <br /> Note to physician: Perform gastric lavage in accordance with procedures for ingestion of petroleum <br /> products. <br /> SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures <br /> Flash Point and Method: 87°F (31°C)-970F (36°C) Method -Setaflash Closed Cup <br /> Flammability Limits(%1: LFL: 0.9-Styrene UFL: 6.8-Styrene <br /> Auto Ignition Temperature-: 914°F (490°C)-Styrene <br /> Extinguishing Media: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. <br /> Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product is a NFPA Class 1C flammable liquid. Prevent static <br /> and other electrical sparking. Excessive heat may cause closed containers to rupture. Keep cool with <br /> water spray. Avoid smoking, open flames and other sources of ignition. <br /> Fire Fighting Instructions: Treat as a flammable liquid type fire. In a sustained fire wear self-contained <br /> breathing apparatus and full protective bunker turnout gear. <br /> Hazardous Combustion Products: Primary combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, <br /> and low molecular weight hydrocarbons. Other undetermined compounds could be released in small <br /> quantities. <br /> SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures <br /> Releases of this product to the land, water and air may require reporting to local, state and federal <br /> agencies. <br /> Land Spill: Prevent material from entering sewers or waterways. Remove all sources of ignition <br /> (flames, hot surfaces, and electrical static or frictional sparks). Ventilate area. Absorb with inert materials <br /> (vermiculite or sand) and place in a closed container for disposal as solid waste. Wash area well with <br /> trisodium phosphate and water. Resin that may have been mixed with peroxide initiators prior to spillage <br /> should be mixed with inert material and removed to an open area. Allow time to gel and cure. <br /> Water Spill: Material is mostly insoluble. The material may sink to the bottom leaving a styrene <br /> monomersheen. Styrene is harmful to aquatic life in very low concentrations. Notify local environmental, <br /> Page 2 <br /> Copyright©2010 • Containment Solutions,Inc. •Pub.No.INST 6023F <br />
