Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.Temp during storage must be kept low to minimize formation of  peroxides and other oxidation products. ... Storage temp below 30 deg C are recommended for the polyfunctional methacrylates. ... The methacrylate monomers  should not be stored for longer than one year. Shorter storage times are recommended for the aminomethacrylates, ie, three months, and the polyfunctional  methacrylates, ie, six months. Many of these cmpd are sensitive to UV light and should, therefore, be stored in the dark. The methacrylic esters may be stored in mild  steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity 

10.1Reactivity The substance may polymerize due to heating and under the influence of light, peroxides and bases. Reacts violently with strong acids, strong bases and strong  oxidants. This generates fire hazard. 

10.2Chemical stability no data available 

10.3Possibility of hazardous reactions Epoxides, such as GLYCIDYL METHACRYLATE, are highly reactive. They polymerize in the presence of catalysts or when heated. These polymerization reactions  can be violent. Compounds in this group react with acids, bases, and oxidizing and reducing agents. They react, possibly violently with water in the presence of acid  and other catalysts. 

10.4Conditions to avoid no data available 

10.5Incompatible materials no data available

SECTION 11: Toxicological information 

Acute toxicity  Oral: LD50 - rat - 597 mg/kg bw.  Inhalation: LC0 - rat (male/female) - > 412 ppm.  Dermal: LD50 - rabbit - 480 mg/kg bw. Skin corrosion/irritation no data available Serious eye damage/irritationno data available Respiratory or skin sensitization no data available Germ cell mutagenicity no data available Carcinogenicity no data available Reproductive toxicity no data available STOT-single exposure The substance is severely irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. STOT-repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Aspiration hazard A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. 

SECTION 12: Ecological information 

12.1Toxicity  Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Oryzias latipes - 2.8 mg/L - 96 h.  Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 24.9 mg/L - 48 h.  Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) - 14.6 mg/L - 72 h.  Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available 

12.2Persistence and degradability Glycidyl methacrylate, present at 100 mg/l, reached 93-94% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum and the Japanese MITI test(1). 

12.3Bioaccumulative potential An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for glycidyl methacrylate(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.81(1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2). According  to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. 

12.4Mobility in soil Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for glycidyl methacrylate can be estimated to be about 10(SRC). According  to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that glycidyl methacrylate is expected to have very high mobility in soil. 

12.5Other adverse effects no data available 

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations 

13.1Disposal methods Product The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing.
