Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Identity: Styrallyl Acetate
CAS Number: 103-54-8
Concentration: Greater than 98% purity
Impurities: Trace phenylpropene derivatives may be present; not classified as hazardous at these levels

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep at rest, consult medical assistance if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get medical help for large amounts

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide; water spray in large fires
Specific Hazards: Vapors can form flammable mixtures above 80°C, fumes may contain acrid smoke and carbon oxides
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing
Advice: Contain runoff; prevent contamination of drains and waterways

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate, wear gloves and eye protection, avoid breathing vapors
Emergency Procedures: Remove ignition sources, isolate spill area
Containment: Stop leak, dike with absorbent containers like sand or earth
Cleanup: Use damp cloth or mop carefully, collect material in sealable containers for proper disposal, wash remaining residues with industrial detergent and copious water

Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling: Operate with local exhaust ventilation, minimize spills and splash, avoid skin and eye contact
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use, wash after handling
Storage Conditions: Store in well-ventilated, cool, dry area away from sunlight, heat, strong oxidizers
Packaging: Use sealed containers of glass, polyethylene, or stainless steel

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH limits, airborne concentrations from large-scale blending can necessitate monitoring
Engineering Controls: Use of fume hoods or local exhaust during weighing and mixing, keeping containers closed
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles for eyes, gloves resistant to organic chemicals, lab coat or protective suit
Respiratory Protection: Approved respirator if airborne mist or vapors exceed safe levels
