LIQUID:  
      METHYL METHACRYLATE - INHIBITED (CSA 80-62-6)  100ppm    100ppm     (8 hr. TWA)    >90%
   
      SUMMARY:  Flammable.  Irritant by inhalation, in contact with skin and eye and if swallowed. 
                            May cause sensitization by skin contact.  Hazardous polymerization may occur
                            in large sealed containers.  Use adequate ventilation to keep below exposure limit.
POWDER:  
      Contains particulates. Not Otherwise Classified.  Due to the spherical shape of this powder, spills should
      be cleaned up promptly to avoid slips and falls. (NOTE: All other MSDS information pertains to liquid.)

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
     Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to ignition sources and flash back. Large sealed
     containers exposed to elevated temperature may rupture explosively due to polymerization.
