10. Stability and Reactivity

Conditions to avoid:

Ignition sources.

Materials to avoid:

Heating, concentrated acids, metal salts, peroxides can cause polymerization of styrene.

Hazardous decomposition products:

Ignitable gases/vapour.

11. Toxicological Information

- Inhalation:

Low vapour concentrations cause irritation of the respiratory tract, causing. coughing and slight difficulty with breathing. Higher concentrations produce more severe irritation, and may be accompanied by nausea, fatigue, weakness, euphoria, drowsiness, double vision, ataxia and coma.

- Skin:

May produce mild reddening of the skin. Prolonged contact may produce drying and fissuring due to defatting action.  

- Eyes:

Vapour is mildly irritating. Liquid produces chemical conjunctivitis     

with mild transient corneal injury.

- Ingestion:

Slightly toxic. Ingestion of moderate quantities may cause abdominal  discomfort, nausea and drowsiness.

12. Ecological Information

BODY UNILITE is almost insoluble in water and will float on the surface. It could cause a fire or explosion if a large spill drained into a sewer system and would be highly toxic to fish if discharged to natural waters. Avoid discharging to sewers or waterways! At a very low water concentration it can be treated in biological wastewater treatment plants. Do not allow to escape into water, wastewater or soil.

13. Disposal Considerations

Methods of disposal:

Controlled incineration.

Danger(s):

Emptied vase contain solvent vapours, hazardous with respect to  fire, explosion and noxiousness. Dispose only to licensed vase reconditioners.
