4. First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
Eye Contact
Immediately flush eyes for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact
Wash off with warm water and soap. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. If skin irritation persists, call a doctor. Wash
contaminated clothing before re-use.
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. This material may enter the lungs during vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is laboured, administer oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC
SKIN REACTION.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to Physician
Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire-fighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Dry chemical, Water spray
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products, resulting gases
flammable. Vapours may form explosive mixture with air. Vapours may travel to areas away from work site before igniting/flashing
back to vapour source. Combustion may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, irritating or toxic vapors and gases. Fight fire
from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without
risk. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from
venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations.

5.3. Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
6. Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Use personal protective equipment as required. Ensure
adequate ventilation. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive
concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product
from entering drains. Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
A vapour suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapours. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. dry sand or earth), then place in a
chemical waste container. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
6.4. Reference to other sections
See Section 12 for more information
7. Handling and Storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Handling
Do not breathe vapour or mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after
handling the product. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. Ensure adequate ventilation. Ground and bond
containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Consult your supplier of promoters
and catalysts for additional instructions on proper mixing and usage. Empty containers may retain product residue (liquid and/or
vapor). Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose these containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity,
or other sources of ignition as the container may explode and may cause injury or death. Empty drums should be completely
drained and properly bunged. Empty drums should be promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or properly disposed. Do not use
compressed air for filling, discharging or handling.
General Hygiene Considerations
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. No smoking. Protect from direct sunlight. Store away from incompatible materials.
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. To ensure maximum stability and maintain optimum resin properties,
resins should be stored in closed containers at temperatures below 25°C.
7.3. Specific end use(s)
Exposure scenario No information available
Other Guidelines No information available

Personal Protective Equipment
__________________________________________________________________________________________
POLYLITE® 32032-00 Revision Date: 22/Dec/2014
Eye Protection Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. If splashes are likely to occur:.
Tightly fitting safety goggles (EN166). Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are
close to the workstation location.
Skin protection Impervious clothing.
Hand Protection Protective gloves complying with EN 374. Wear protective nitrile rubber or Viton™ gloves.
Gloves made of nitrile rubber or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) may be used for splash protection
and brief or intermittent contact with styrenated polyester resin. Please observe the
instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the
supplier of the gloves. Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which
the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion.
Respiratory protection None required if hazards have been assessed and airborne concentrations are maintained
below the exposure limits listed in Section 8. Wear an approved air-purifying respirator with
organic vapor cartridges and particulate filters where airborne concentrations may exceed
exposure limits in Section 8 and/or there is exposure to dust or mists due to sanding,
grinding, cutting, or spraying. Use an approved positive-pressure air-supplied respirator
with emergency escape provisions if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release,
airborne concentrations are not known, or any other circumstances where air-purifying
respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Recommended Filter type: Type A (EN141) and Type P2 (EN143)
Environmental exposure controls Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.

concentrations can cause CNS depression and narcosis.
Eye Contact Irritating to eyes.
Skin Contact Causes skin irritation. May cause sensitisation by skin contact. Prolonged skin contact may
defat the skin and produce dermatitis.
Ingestion HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea,
vomiting and diarrhoea. ASPIRATION HAZARD IF SWALLOWED - CAN ENTER LUNGS
AND CAUSE DAMAGE.
Styrene
Oral LD50 = 5000 mg/kg (Rat)
dermal LD50 > 2000 mg/kg (Rat)
Inhalation LC50 = 11.8 mg/l (4 H) (Rat)
Methyl methacrylate
Oral LD50 = 7872 mg/kg (Rat)
Irritation Irritating to eyes and skin.
corrosivity Not corrosive.
Sensitisation Contains methacrylates, which are known to be weak sensitizers.
Carcinogenic effects There is no convincing evidence that styrene possesses significant carcinogenic potential in
humans.
Repeated dose toxicity In humans, styrene may cause a transient decrease in color discrimination and effects on
hearing. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation and dermatitis, due to
defatting properties of the product. May cause damage to the kidneys, liver, eyes, brain,
respiratory system, central nervous system through prolonged or repeated exposure if
inhaled. May cause damage to the liver, eyes, brain, respiratory system, central nervous
system through prolonged or repeated exposure if inhaled.
Mutagenic effects Styrene has given mixed positive and negative results in a number of mutagenicity tests.
Styrene was not mutagenic without metabolic activation but gave negative and positive
mutagenic results with metabolic activation.
