Erste HilfeEYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.General First Aid:
Sichere LagerungFireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Cool. Keep in the dark. Store only if stabilized.
Firefighting HazardsVapors are heavier than air and can travel back to a source of ignition and flash back.
Expositionsschutz und Persönliche Schutzausrüstung· Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
BrandbekämpfungsverfahrenUse dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol foam extinguishers. Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas. Vapors may travel long distances to ignition sources and flashback. Vapors in confined areas may explode when exposed to fire. Containers may explode in fire. Storage containers and parts of containers may rocket great distances, in many directions. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position.If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may spread fire. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbond dioxide. Evacuation: If fire becomes uncontrollable or container is exposed to direct flame, consider evacuation of 1/3 mile radius.Evacuation: If fire becomes uncontrollable or container is exposed to direct flame, consider evacuation of 1/3 mile radius.
LagerbedingungenBefore entering confined space where this chemical may be present, check to make sure that an explosive concentration does not exist. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well ventilated area away from oxidizers (such as perchlorates, peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, and nitrates). Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibited where ethyl methacrylate is handled, used, or stored. Metal containers involving the transfer of 5 gallons or more of ethyl methacrylate should be grounded and bonded. Drums must be equipped with self-closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters. Use only nonsparking tools and equipment, especially when opening and closing containers of ethyl methacrylate.Storage temp: below 38 °C (100 °F).Acrylic resin ... /monomers, such as ethyl methacrylate/ polymerize readily in the presence of light, heat, or catalysts such as benzoyl peroxidethey must be stored ... with inhibitors present to avoid spontaneous & explosive polymerization.The effectiveness of phenolic inhibitors, eg, monomethyl ether of hydroquinone & hydroquinone, depends on the presence of oxygen. Monomers inhibited with these materials must be stored in air rather than in an inert atmosphere. Contamination must be avoidedeg, moisture may cause rust-initiated polymerization. Temperatures during storage must be kept low to minimize formation of peroxides & other oxidation products. ... In general, the methacrylate monomers should not be stored for longer than 1 year. ... The methacrylic esters may be stored in mild steel (low carbon), stainless steel, or aluminum. /Methacrylate monomers/
ReinigungsverfahrenSRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.Spill Handling: Evacuate and restrict persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until cleanup is complete. Remove all ignition sources. Establish forced ventilation to keep levels below explosive limit. Absorb liquids in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, peat, carbon, or a similar material and deposit in sealed containers. Keep ethyl methacrylate out of a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion, unless the sewer is designed to prevent the build-up of explosive concentrations. It may be necessary to contain and dispose of this chemical as a hazardous waste. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters.

Artificial Pollution SourcesEthyl methacrylate's production and use in acrylic polymers used to build automotive, aerospace, and furniture components, and in the manufacture of paint and coatingsin ethyl methacrylate polymers used in making dentures, contact lenses, and artificial fingernails(1)and as a chemical intermediate(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).
Environmental BiodegradationAEROBIC: In a Closed Bottle test, ethyl methacrylate released 69% of theoretical carbon dioxide evolution after 28 days(1). Ethyl methacrylate has been listed as being "well biodegradable" in the Japanese MITI test which utilizes 100 ppm test compound incubated at 25 °C for 2 weeks in activated sludge at 30 ppm(2). Ethyl methacrylate was found to biodegrade 79% in 28 days using the OECD 301D method, classifying it as readily biodegradable(3).
Environmental BioconcentrationAn estimated BCF of 9 was calculated in fish for ethyl methacrylate(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.94(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Volatilization from Water/SoilThe Henry's Law constant for ethyl methacrylate is estimated as 5.7X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 20.6 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 5,400 mg/L(2). This Henry's Law constant indicates that ethyl methacrylate is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(3). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(3) is estimated as 5 hours(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(3) is estimated as 5 days(SRC). Ethyl methacrylate's estimated Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). The potential for volatilization of ethyl methacrylate from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(1).

Beschreibung

Ethyl Methacrylate is the ester of ethyl alcohol and methacrylic acid. Other chemical names for this compound are Ethyl 2- Methyl-2-Propenoate; 2-Methyl-2-Propenoic Acid, Ethyl Ester; 2-Propenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, Ethyl Ester; and Methyacrylic Acid, Ethyl Ester. It is a colorless liquid with a melting point below -75℃, a boiling point of 119℃, and a specific gravity of 0.911. It has a molecular weight of 114.14 Da, a refractive index (n, 25/D) of 1.4116, and a flash point (OC) of 70℃. Ethyl Methacrylate has an acrid acrylate odor and is soluble in alcohol and ether. It is readily polymerized and is chemically reactive. Ethyl Methacrylate monomer is very hydrophobic and poorly “wets” the hydrophilic keratin surface of the nail plate, requiring hydrophilic nail primers and additives to obtain sufficient adhesion[1].

Verwenden

Ethyl methacrylate can be manufactured via a reaction of methacrylic acid or methyl acrylate with ethanol. It is used primarily for manufacturing polymers and as a component of acrylic polymers for surface coatings and as a structural monomer for some artificial fingernail formulations.
