3. Hazards Identification

"Staron® Solid Surfaces sheet" is not hazardous when shipped. However, operations such as sawing, routing, drilling and sanding can generate dust. High concentrations of dust can irritate eyes, nose and respiratory passages and cause coughing and sneezing. Even though there is no exposure limit established for dust from "Staron® Solid Surfaces sheet" (see details in the Exposure Controls/Personal Protection section of this MSDS), avoid breathing dust.

"Staron® Solid Surfaces sheet" does not offgas at room temperature. At higher temperatures, a small amount of methyl methacrylate may be released. The amount depends on temperature, time and other variables. Methyl methacrylate vapors can irritate eyes, skin, nose, and throat and cause allergic skin rashes. Over exposure to methyl methacrylate vapors can cause headache, nausea, weakness and lung irritation with coughing, discomfort and shortness of breath. Individuals with pre-existing lung or skin problems may be more susceptible to the effects of over exposure to methyl methacrylate.

4. First Aid Measures

INHALATION: Move to fresh air
EYE CONTACT: Not applicable
SKIN CONTACT: Not applicable
INGESTION: Not applicable

5. Fire Fighting Measures

AFTER SPILLAGE/LEAKAGE/GAS LEAKAGE: Keep away from all ignition sources. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Clean with detergents. Avoid solvents.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING AND STORAGE sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate personal protective equipment during clean-up.

7. Handling and Storage

HANDLING: Sheets should be unloaded with a forklift or other lifting device capable of handling pallets safely. If a lifting device is not available, always carry single sheets in the vertical position, and wear heavy-duty protective gloves and proper safety shoes. Carrying should be done by two people facing each other on short sides with one hand under to support and the other hand on top to control the sheet.

STORAGE: Keep sheets flat and evenly supported at temperatures between 15 ~ 23¢ªC (59¢ª ~ 73¢ªF), in a dry and well-ventilated indoor area.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

TECHNICAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES: Provide for appropriate exhaust ventilation and dust collection at machinery.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

RESPIRATION (DURING MACHIINING OPERATION): In case of insufficient ventilation, wear appropriate respiratory equipment in compliance with local regulations.

EYES (DURING MACHINING OPERATION): Use tightly fitting safety goggles or face-shield.

HANDS (DURING MACHINING OPERATION): Wear protective gloves.

OTHERS (DURING MACHINING OPERATION): Use ear protection, safety shoes.
Those who are highly sensitive should take precautions due to possible eye, nose or throat irritation from Staron® Solid Surfaces dust and fumes.

9. Physical and Chemical Properties

  • FORM: Solid sheet

  • COLOR: Various

  • OROR: None

  • BOILING POINT: Not applicable

  • MELTING POINT: Not applicable

  • SPECIFIC GRAVITY (WATER = 1): 1.6 ~ 1.8

  • VAPOR PRESSURE (MMHg): Not applicable

  • VAPOR DENSITY (AIR = 1): Not applicable

  • SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Insoluble

  • pH: Not applicable

  • FLASH POINT: Not applicable

  • IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable

  • EXPLOSION LIMITS: Lower = Not applicable


  • Upper = Not applicable

    10. Stability and Reactivity

    THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCT: Frictional heat generated from sawing and routing Staron® Solid Surfaces sheet can reach or exceed a temperature of 300¢ª C. This is high enough to release a small amount of methyl methacrylate vapor.

    HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCT: Carbon monoxide, methyl methacrylate monomer, smoke
    HAZARDOUS REACTION: None
    FURTHER INFORMATION: Sprayed mist may be flammable at temperatures below the flash point

    11. Toxicological Information

    METHYL METHACRYLATE
    TLV-TWA = 100 ppm = 410 mg/m3 ; ACGIH (1991-2)
    LD50/oral/rat = 7872 mg/kg ; RTECS, 47796

    Methyl methacrylate can be present on the cutting tool face at a concentration exceeding the TLV of 100 ppm. However, it dissipates to very low levels with good ventilation.

    12. Ecological Information

    No information available

    13. Disposal Considerations

    Can be landfilled or incinerated, when in compliance with local regulations.

    14. Transport Information

    Not classified as dangerous in the meaning of transport regulations.

    15. Regulatory Information

    U.S. FEDERAL REGULATIONS
    TSCA Inventory Status: In compliance with TSCA Inventory requirements for commercial purposes.

    16. Other Information
