Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Contact:

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical advice if there are persistent

symptoms.

Skin Contact:

Wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes without delay. Obtain

medical attention. Do not reuse contaminated clothing without laundering. Destroy or thoroughly clean shoes before

reuse.

Ingestion:

If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give

anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Inhalation:

Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms.

MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS, BOTH ACUTE AND DELAYED

None known

INDICATION OF ANY IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDS

General Information

In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an

unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Suitable Extinguishing Media:

Use water spray or fog, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.

Extinguishing Media to Avoid:

high pressure water jet.

SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE

Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire.

ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERS

Protective Equipment:

Firefighters, and others exposed, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full firefighting protective clothing.

See MSDS Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection).

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Where exposure level is not known, wear approved, positive pressure, self-contained respirator. Where exposure level is

known, wear approved respirator suitable for level of exposure. In addition to the protective clothing/equipment in Section

8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection), wear impermeable boots.

Environmental Precautions:

None known

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Cover spills with some inert absorbent material; sweep up and place in a waste disposal container. Flush spill area with

water.

References to other sections:

See Sections 8 and 13 for additional information.

Handling and storage

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING

Precautionary Measures: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with

skin. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep container closed. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Special Handling Statements: Product exposed to sunlight will slowly polymerize.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat sources and direct

sunlight.

Storage Temperature: Store at 4 - 40 °C

Reason: Quality.

VCI Storage Class: 10

Specific end use(s):

See the Guidelines for Printers on the Safe Use of Energy Curing Printing Inks and Varnishes, from CEPE. See the Joint

BG/HSE/CNAMTS/ISPESL Protocol on improved conditions of use of UV-printing technology in the printing industry in

Germany, UK, France, Italy and other interested Member States of the European Union; document from Radtech Europe;

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering Measures:

Engineering controls are not usually necessary if good hygiene practices are followed.

Respiratory Protection:

Where exposures are below the established exposure limit, no respiratory protection is required.

Where exposures exceed the established exposure limit, use respiratory protection recommended for the material

and level of exposure.

A full facepiece respirator also provides eye and face protection.

Cutting, grinding or sanding of parts fabricated after curing may create respirable dust particles. Respiratory

protection appropriate for this dust may be required. Refer to components listed above for potential hazardous

components in the dust.

Eye protection:

Wear eye/face protection such as chemical splash proof goggles or face shield.

Eyewash equipment and safety shower should be provided in areas of potential exposure.

Skin Protection:

Avoid skin contact.

Wear impermeable gloves and suitable protective clothing.

Barrier creams may be used in conjunction with the gloves to provide additional skin protection.

Hand protection:

Barrier creams may help to protect the exposed areas of the skin, they should however not be applied once

exposure has occurred. Nitrile or fluorinated rubber gloves. Consider the porosity and elasticity data of the glove

manufacturer and the specific conditons in the work place. Replace gloves immediately when torn or any change in

appearance (dimension, colour, flexibility etc) is noticed.

Additional Advice:

Food, beverages, and tobacco products should not be carried, stored, or consumed where this material is in use.

Before eating, drinking, or smoking, wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity: No information available

CHEMICAL STABILITY

Stability: Stable

Conditions To Avoid: Avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Avoid temperatures higher than 60°C. Avoid

friction with temperature increase as result. Avoid exposure to strong UV sources.

Loss of dissolved air. Loss of polymerization inhibitor. Avoid direct contact with heat

sources.

POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS REACTIONS

Polymerization: May occur

Conditions To Avoid: Uncontrolled polymerization may cause rapid evolution of heat and increase in

pressure that could result in violent rupture of sealed storage vessels or containers

Hazardous polymerization can occur when exposed to direct sunlight. Hazardous

exothermic polymerization can occur when heated.

Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with peroxides. Avoid free radical producing initiators. Avoid contact

with reactive metals. Contact with alkalis. They give an exothermic reaction with the

product. Unintentional contact with them should be avoided.

Hazardous Decomposition Products:

Carbon dioxide

Carbon monoxide (CO)

Disposal considerations

Waste Treatment Methods

The registrant encourages the recycle, recovery and reuse of materials, where permitted. If disposal is necessary, theregistrant recommends that organic materials, especially when classified as hazardous waste, be disposed of by thermal treatment or incineration at approved facilities. All local and national regulations should be followed.
