DO NOT MAKE THE CASUALTY VOMIT.Get immediate medical attention. Wash the mouth out with water and give large quantities of water to drink.
PRODUCT INHALED:
Remove victim from area of exposure to fresh air. If unconscious, do not give anything to drink, give artificial ventilation and chest compression or place in recovery position as necessary If conscious make the casualty lie or sit down quietly, give oxygen if available. Get immediate medical attention In all cases of exposure the patient should be transferred to hospital

EXTINGUlSHING MEDIA:
Water spray. foam, dry chemicals carbon dioxide or any Class B type extinguishing agent. Water may be ineffective since it may not cool the styrene below its flash point.

At elevated temperature polymerisation may take place. If polymerisation takes place in enclosed container, there is a possibility of violent rupture of the container. Product vapours may form an explosive mixture in air.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance or a protected location. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapours and toxic decomposition of products.
UNSUITABLE EXTlNGUISHING MEDIA:
Water may be ineffective since it may not cool the Styrene below the flash point.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHIN(3 :
Fire.fighters and Others exposed to vapours or products of combustion ShOuld wear sclf-contained breathing ~pparatus. Equipment Should be thoroughly decontaminated after use. In situations of large fires, a fireman's normal protective clothing m~y not provide adequate protection and chemical resistant clothing may be required.m~y not provide adequate protection and chemical resistant clothing may be required.

PERSONAL PRECAUTION:
Prevent access to area until cleanup has been completed. If TLV in section 8 of this data sheet is exceeded. then suitable respiratory protection must be worn to prevent over exposure. Ensure cIeanup is conducted by trained personnel only.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
Prevent material entering the water systems, sewers and soil. This product contains styrene monomer, which if spilled or nreleased in quantities greater than the Reportable Quantity (RO) of 454 kg are subject to the reporting requirements of CERCLA and/or SARA (40 CFR Paris 320 & 355).
CLEAN-UP METHODS:
Spills:
Remove all source of ignition. Ventilate area. Dike the area to prevent the material from entering the water SyStems or sewers.Absorb spill with absorbent material Such as saw dust, vermiculite, or sand and place in closed container for disposal. Note that contaminated absorbent material poses the same hazard as the spilled product.
ADDITIONAL ADVICE:
All resins Should be regarded as notifiable under the Ha:zardous Substances Act of 1973, and Hazardous Chemical Substances Regulation. Advice Should be sought fmm the Local Authority regarding dispOsal.

SUITABLE MATERIALS:
Lacquer lined metal drums.
UNSUITABLE MATERIALS:
Most plastic containers.
HANDLlNG(STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
Avoid eye and prolonged skin contact. Use of a barrier cream is recommended. Avoid inhalation. Avoid improper addition of accelerator and catalyst. The promoter and catalyst should always be mixed into the prnduct separately and never mixed together. The product should be stored below 25 Deg C. in closed Containers away from all sources of heat and ignition. The store should be well ventilated and flame proof. Keep Storage area away from working area. Post warning signs and have appropriatc fire exlinguishers and spill cleanup equipment in or near the storage area. Empty drums contain vapours. the monomers present in the onginal resin solution and therefore are at fire, explosion and noxious vapour risk. They should be disposed of by methods that follow recognised safe procedures.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE STANDARDS:
HSlE: Not availabe
MAK: Not available
ACGlH Styrene
TLV-TWA (time weighted average) 50 ppm (213 mg
TLV- STEL(short-term exposure limit) 100 ppm (4~6 mg
NOTICE OF INTENDED CHANGE:
For styrene the reduction of TLV to 20 ppm (85 mg m3 and STEL to 40 ppm (170 mg m3 and designation of the carcinogen A4 notation has been proposed. Carcinogen A4: Not classifiable as human.
carcinogen: Inadequate data on which to classify the substance as a human andlor animal carninogen.
SKIN:
Contact with eyes. skin and mucous membranes can contribute to the overall exposure and may invalidate the TLV
OSHA PERMISSIABLE EXPOSURE LIMITS (PELs)
PEL- TLV(time weighted average) 100 ppm
PEL - C (celllng exposure limit) 200 ppm
Acceptable maximum peak above the acceptable ceiling concentration for an 8-hour shift: 600ppm (5 minutes in any three hours).
ENGINEERING CONTROL MEASURES:
Methods to control hazardous condilions are preferred. Methods include a good mechanical ventilation with a non sparking,grounded ventilation system exhausting directly to the outside, separate from other exhaust ventilation systems. Care should be taken in controlling the emission of fumes into the envirnnment Note that provision should be made for adequate replacement of displaced air. Electric lighting and plugs to be explosion proof
PERSONAL PROTECTION - RESPIRATORY:
If TLV level in section 3 is exceeded , then suitahie respiratory protection must be worn Up to 500 ppm a chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapour cartridge(s). Above 500 ppm then full face supplied air respirator, or self contained breathing apparatus should be used Note that the IDL (immediately dangerous to lIfe or health) concentration of styrene is 700 ppm.
PERSONAL PROTECTION - HAND:
Impervious gloves, Note that the resistance of specific materials can vary from product to prnduct. Evaluate the resistance of the product under conditions of use
PERSONAL PROTECTION - EYE:
Wear a face shield or chemical goggles or approved safety glasses, Have an emergency eyewash station readily available in the working area,
PERSONAL PROTECTION SKIN:
Impervious gloves, coveralls, boots, andior other resistant protective clothing. Have a safety shower eye wash fountain readily available in the immediate work area,
PERSONAL PROTECTION COMMENTS:
Dust generated by grinding or polishing finished products is regarded as hazardous and precautions should be taken to ensure dust concentrations to he maintained below a TLV of 10 mg m3 - Where dust concentrations exceed these values, appropriate dust masks Should be worn.
OTHER PROTECTIVE MEASURE:
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. keep contaminated clothing in closed Containers. Discard or launder before rewearing. Inform laundry personnel of contaminated hazards. Do not eat, smoke or drink in work areas.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID:

INCOMPATISLE MATERIALS:
Oxidi,zing agents and Strong Acids.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCT5:
Heating to decomposition may cause the emission of irritating, acrid fumes. styrene may form slyrene oxide as decomposition product.

ACUTE TOXICITY:
Acute oral LD 50 (rat) is 5000 mg./kg
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT
Causes moderate irritation to skin and eyes
SUB CHRONIC TOXICITY
Styrene is a direct skin irritant
CARCINOGENICITY:
The lARO (International Agency for Research on Cancer) has that there is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of styrene in humans. The ARC classificstion for styrene is group 2B; Possibly carcinogenic to humans - Notice of intended change of Styrene classification to group A4. lnadequate data on which to Classify the substance as a human and /or animal carcinogen. Note that styrene oxide, a product of styrene metabolism in the body, is carcinogenic in animals.
MUTAGENICITY:
Most Studies conducted on styrene have proved inconclusive.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY:
There is some evidence that at high exposures (400 mg /kg styrene dosed orally to rats for 60 days) styrene can affect the male reproductive system. In a three generation study, rats were exposed to 20O ppm styrene orally. Despite some reporting deficiencies, it appears there are no treatment related effects on male or female fertility or on their offspring.
