Use explosion proof motor nd equipment. Containers should be grounded and/or bonded when <br /> material is transferred. <br /> SECTION 9: Physical and Chemical Properties <br /> Vapor Pressure(mm Ha A 200C): 4.5-Styrene <br /> Vapor Density(Air--I): 3.6- Styrene RH: Not Applicable <br /> Specific Gravity(Water--ft >1 Boiling Point: >95°F (>35°C) <br /> Solubility in Water: Insoluble Viscosity: Not Available <br /> Odor Type: Styrene Physical State: Thixotropic Liquid <br /> Appearance: Purple thick paste/liquid Freezing Point: -23°F (-31°C) <br /> Evaporation Rate(n-Butyl Acetate=1): Not Available <br /> SECTION 10: Stability and Reactivity <br /> General: Stable below 87°F (31°C) <br /> Incompatible Materials and Conditions to Avoid: Peroxides, oxidizers, acids and bases. Ambient <br /> temperatures over 87°F (31'C), or heat from fire situations may cause polymerization, heat generation, <br /> and vapor expansion. May cause closed container to rupture. <br /> Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of carbon and low molecular weight hydrocarbons. See <br /> Section 5 of MSDS for combustion products statement. <br /> Hazardous Polymerization: May occur. Avoid excessive heat, contamination and prolonged storage <br /> above 87°F (31°C). <br /> SECTION 11: Toxicoloaical Information <br /> CARCINOGENICITY: The following table indicates whether or not each agency has listed each <br /> ingredient as a carcinogen: <br /> Ingredient ACGIH IARC NTP OSHA <br /> Vinyl Ester Resin No No No No <br /> Styrene Monomer No Yes No No <br /> Fiber Glass Continuous Filament No No No No <br /> Silicon Dioxide No No No No <br /> Polyethylene Powder No No No No <br /> LD.O.

Previously, styrene was classified as a <br /> Group 3 compound (not classified as to carcinogenicity to humans). The IARC working group determined <br /> that the weight of data on genetic and related effects, together with the consideration that styrene <br /> metabolized in humans and animals to styrene oxide for which there is sufficient evidence of <br /> carcinogenicity in experimental animals and has been classified by IARC as probably carcinogenic to <br /> humans (Group 2A), was sufficient reason to recommend the change in classification. <br /> Page 4 <br /> Copyright©2010 • Containment Solutions,Inc. -Pub.No. INST 6023F <br />
