Styrene-Butyl Acrylate CopolymerSubcutaneous implantation of polymeric styrene powder inrats has induced tumors at the site of implantation.2. Carbon black(Group 2B “Possible Carcinogen”; IARC)Overexposure to carbon black is associated with causingirritation, conjunctivitis, and corneal hypoplasia of theeyes; minor irritation and eczema of the skin; and irritationand bronchitis. Long-term inhalation exposure may beassociated with causing lung cancer.3. Paraffin Wax(Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC)May cause eye, skin, respiratory, and digentive tractirritation. Paraffin is an equivocal tumorgenic agent byRTECS criteria.4. Amorphous Fumed Silica(Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC)Overexposure to amorphous silica has been associatedwith causing irritation of the lungs and pneumoconiosis.Long-term inhalation exposure may be associated withproducing tumors in laboratory animals.Physical DataMelting Point: 110°C (230°F)Boiling Point: Not applicableReactivity DataStability: StablePolymerization: Will not occur.Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decompositionmay result in release of oxides of carbon and nitrogen.Temperature: Do not expose to temperatures above 200°C(392°F).Incompatibility: Avoid exposure to strong oxidizers.Spill Cleanup and DisposalSpill CleanupSmall Spills1. Remove sources of ignition.2. Clean up spill with wet cloth.Large Spills1. Remove sources of ignition.2. Wear protective gear: respirator, rubber gloves, goggles(see below).3. Clean up spill with scoop, being careful not to generatea lot of dust.Waste Disposal: Follow appropriate federal, state and localregulations.Safe Handling and UseRespiratory Protection: Not normally required. For largespills, use NIOSH-approved full face-piece respirator withHEPA cartridge during cleanup.Protective Gloves and/or Eye Protection: Not normallyrequired. For large spills, use rubber gloves and chemicalworker’s goggles during cleanup.Ventilation: Outside of normal ventilation, not normallyrequired.Other Protective Equipment and/or Hygienic Practices:NoneSpecial PrecautionsPrecautions for Handling or Storage: Protect from high heat.Avoid making dust.Other Precautions: NoneCurrent as of 3/1/01To the best of the manufacturer’s knowledge, the informationcontained herein is accurate.
