SECTION IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point (Styrene) 90 deg F PENSKY-MARTEN CLOSED CUP
Flammable Limits (Percent by Volume) LEL : 1.10%
UEL : 6.10%
Extinguishing Media: Use foam, carbon dioxide or chemical fire
fighting apparatus.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Cool tanks and drums with water. Firefighters
should wear self contained breathing apparatus
and protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: High temperature exposure for extended periods
of time will result in spontaneous uncontrolled
exothermic polymerization.
SECTION V - Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable under normal conditions. Avoid exposure
to temperatures above 100 deg F or 38 deg C.
Incompatibility: Avoid contact with strong mineral acids,
peroxides, oxidizing agents, and polymerization catalysts.
Hazardous Polymerization: Can occur
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition may yield carbon
monoxide/dioxide, low molecular weight
hydrocarbons, and organic acids.
SECTION VI - Health Hazards
MAJOR EXPOSURE HAZARD: INHALATION, SKIN CONTACT, EYE CONTACT
Effects of overexposure:
Eye Contact: Severe irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision
Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause
moderate irritation, de-fatting, dermatitis, and sensitization.
Inhalation: Excessive inhalation of vapors can cause nasal
and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue,
nausea, and headache. High concentrations may result in narcosis
(central nervous system depression). Can cause gastrointestinal
irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Aspiration of material
into lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
Chronic exposure may cause damage to the central nervous system, respiratory system,
lungs, eyes, skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, spleen, and kidneys.
Other health effects: IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) has re-
classified styrene from a Group 3 substance to a Group 2B substance. This is not based
on any significant new evidence that styrene might be carcinogenic, but rather on a
broadening of the definition for Group 2B classification.
SECTION VII - Emergency and First Aid Procedures
Inhalation: Remove from exposure. If breathing is stopped, administer
artificial respiration or oxygen as indicated. Seek medical
aid; if symptoms persist, consult a physician.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with
soap and water. If irritation continues, seek medical aid.
Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
Call a physician.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician.
SECTION VIII - Special Protection Information
Skin Contact: Polyvinyl alcohol gloves and polyethylene garments are
recommended.
Eye Contact: OSHA compliant goggles or face shields recommended.
Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation should be used to control the
emission of air contaminates. General dilution ventilation
may assist with the reduction of contaminate
concentrations.
Other Equipment: Emergency eye wash stations should be located in the work areas.
SECTION IX - Special Precautions in Storage and Handling
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid eye contact. Store in a cool dry place away from oxidizers. Do not store in direct sunlight. Work with adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to minimize exposure to vapors.
