ACRYSOL™ RM-845 Rheology Modifier

Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; consult a physician.

Remove material from skin immediately by washing with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes while washing. Seek medical attention if irritation or rash occurs. Wash clothing before reuse. Discard items which cannot be decontaminated, including leather articles such as shoes, belts and watchbands.

Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.

Rinse mouth with water. No emergency medical treatment necessary.

Alcohol-resistant foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Water spray.

None known.

Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health.. Dried product can burn.. Material can splatter above 100C/212F..

Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Evacuate area. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so.

Material can create slippery conditions. Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.

For large spills, provide dyking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If dyked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container.

Do not release the product to the aquatic environment above defined regulatory levels. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.

Soak up with inert absorbent material. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbant.

Materials: inert absorbent material, suitable absorbant

Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the environment. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Monomer vapors can be evolved when material is heated during processing operations. Use only with adequate ventilation.

Keep in properly labelled containers. Store in accordance with the particular national regulations. To maintain product quality, do not store in heat or direct sunlight. Avoid temperature extremes during storage; ambient temperature preferred.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Neoprene. When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. Glove thickness alone is not a good indicator of the level of protection a glove provides against a chemical substance as this level of protection is also highly dependent on the specific composition of the material that the glove is fabricated from. The thickness of the glove must, depending on model and type of material, generally be more than 0.35 mm to offer sufficient protection for prolonged and frequent contact with the substance. As an exception to this general rule it is known that multilayer laminate gloves may offer prolonged protection at thicknesses less than 0.35 mm. Other glove materials with a thickness of less than 0.35 mm may offer sufficient protection when only brief contact is expected. NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.

Use safety glasses (with side shields). Safety glasses (with side shields) should be consistent with EN ISO 16321-1 or equivalent.

Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter, type AP2 (meeting standard EN 14387).

Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task.

See SECTION 7: Handling and storage and SECTION 13: Disposal considerations for measures to prevent excessive environmental exposure during use and waste disposal.

Stable under normal conditions.

Not classified as a reactivity hazard.

Can react with strong oxidizing agents.

None known.

Avoid contact with oxidizing materials.

Decomposition products can include and are not limited to: Irritating fumes. Acrylic monomers.

mechanical and chemical recycling, reselling waste material, incineration with energy recovery or using it as alternative fuel (e.g in cement kilns).

For uncontaminated material the preferred disposal options include mechanical and chemical recycling, reselling waste material, incineration with energy recovery or using it as alternative fuel. For contaminated material the options remain the same, although additional evaluation is required.
