Substance: Isobornyl Methacrylate
Chemical Formula: C13H20O2
Common Uses: Acrylic resin formulations, coatings, adhesives, dental materials, specialty plastics
Physical Form: Clear liquid at room temperature, faint characteristic odor
Molecular Weight: About 208.3 g/mol
Main Hazards: Eye irritation, skin irritation, potential for sensitization in case of repeated skin contact
Inhalation Risk: Vapors can irritate respiratory tract; high vapor concentrations may cause headache or dizziness
Flammability: Flammable liquid; significant risk near ignition sources
Other Concerns: Potential environmental hazard if released into waterways
Active Ingredient: Isobornyl Methacrylate (Concentration: ≥ 98%)
Impurities: Trace stabilizers (to prevent polymerization), minimal other methacrylates often present at less than 1%
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, support breathing
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse gently with water for several minutes, seek medical advice if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, get medical attention—do not induce vomiting unless instructed by healthcare
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam
Unusual Fire Hazards: Combustion can release irritating fumes—avoid inhaling gases
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Advice: Keep containers cool with water spray from a safe distance
Personal Precautions: Put on protective gear—gloves and goggles
Spill Procedure: Absorb with sand or inert material, sweep up and collect in sealable containers
Ventilation: Increase air flow to clear vapors
Environmental Steps: Prevent entry into drains or surface water
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, avoid breathing vapors
Avoid Contact: Skin, eyes, clothing
Storage Temp: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources
Container Requirements: Keep tightly closed, use materials resistant to methacrylates
Engineering Controls: Use fume hoods or local exhaust when pouring or mixing
Respiratory Protection: Use approved organic vapor respirators in poorly ventilated spaces
Hand Protection: Gloves made of nitrile or rubber protect against liquid contact
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles or face shield recommended
Skin Protection: Wear lab coats or aprons
Exposure Limits: No specific limit, follow general workplace airborne concentration guidelines for methacrylates
Appearance: Colorless to slightly yellow liquid
Odor: Characteristic, mild
Boiling Point: About 230°C
Flash Point: Between 95–105°C
Solubility: Low in water, miscible with most organic solvents
Vapor Pressure: Low at room temperature
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal use conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Extreme heat, open flames, direct sunlight
Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases, free radical initiators
Hazardous Reactions: Uncontrolled polymerization can occur if contaminated or heated
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Methacrylic acid, carbon oxides, smoke
Acute Exposure: Irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory system on direct contact
Repeated Exposure: Risk of allergic skin reaction or dermatitis in some people
Oral Toxicity: Low toxicity, accidental ingestion not likely to cause acute poisoning at small amounts
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as a cancer risk by major agencies
Sensitization: Skin sensitization is possible, especially among frequent users
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic life in concentrated form
Persistence: Breaks down slowly, can accumulate in the environment
Movement: Tends to bind to sediment, not easily washed away
Treatment: Avoid direct release into ecosystem, treat runoff in chemical waste systems
Waste Handling: Collect and store for disposal through approved chemical waste company
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse thoroughly, dispose as hazardous waste
Incineration: Suitable for energy recovery or high-temperature incineration
Regulatory Note: Comply with regional and national regulations governing hazardous chemical disposal
UN Classification: Flammable liquid category where regulated
Transport Precautions: Keep containers upright, well sealed to prevent leaks
Label Requirements: Identify as flammable for shipment
Special Handling: Separate from foodstuffs and incompatible materials during transport
GHS Classification: Flammable liquid, skin irritant, eye irritant
OSHA Status: Regulated as a hazardous material
REACH Registration: Required within the European Union
Chemical Inventories: Listed in U.S. TSCA, EINECS, and other country inventories
