Label Elements Signal Word Danger Hazard Statements ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 / 10 Methyl vinyl ketone Revision Date 14-Feb-2020 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Highly flammable liquid and vapor Causes severe skin burns and eye damage May cause respiratory irritation May cause an allergic skin reaction Fatal if swallowed, in contact with skin or if inhaled Precautionary Statements Prevention Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area Wear respiratory protection Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking Keep container tightly closed Ground/bond container and receiving equipment Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment Use only non-sparking tools Take precautionary measures against static discharge Keep cool Response Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician Inhalation IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing Skin Wash contaminated clothing before reuse IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower Eyes IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing Ingestion Rinse mouth Do NOT induce vomiting Fire In case of fire: Use CO2, dry chemical, or foam for extinction Storage Store locked up Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed Disposal Dispose of contents/container to an approved waste disposal plant Hazards not otherwise classified (HNOC) Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects 3.

First-aid measures General Advice Immediate medical attention is required. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Eye Contact In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Skin Contact Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required. Inhalation Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Remove to fresh air. Immediate medical attention is required. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Most important symptoms and Difficulty in breathing. Causes burns by all exposure routes. May cause allergic skin effects reaction. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting: Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation: Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, trouble breathing, tingling of the hands and feet, dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, muscle pain or flushing Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable Extinguishing Media Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media No information available Flash Point -7 °C / 19.4 °F Method - No information available Autoignition Temperature 370 °C / 698 °F Explosion Limits Upper 15.6% Lower 2.1% Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact No information available Sensitivity to Static Discharge No information available Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Flammable. Containers may explode when heated. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or water courses. Hazardous Combustion Products Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO2). Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 / 10 Methyl vinyl ketone Revision Date 14-Feb-2020 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. NFPA Health Flammability Instability Physical hazards 4 3 1 N/A 6. Accidental release measures Personal Precautions Use personal protective equipment as required. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Environmental Precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. Methods for Containment and Clean Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Up Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. 7. Handling and storage Handling Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance. Do not breathe mist/vapors/spray. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Use only non-sparking tools. To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Storage Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Corrosives area. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep refrigerated. 8.
