No data available for water as (CAS: 7732-18-5)
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
WATER: No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH
· Safety glasses with side shields · Chemical goggles. · Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate them.
Wear general protective gloves, eg. light weight rubber gloves.
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities. OTHERWISE: · Overalls. · Barrier cream. · Eyewash unit. The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

Product is considered stable and hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to
health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models); nevertheless exposure by all
routes should be minimised as a matter of course.
