Remove all ignition sources. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in covered containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Personal protection: chemical protection suit and filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Wear respiratory protection. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas. Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations.

SRP: 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 this chemical 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.

Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop or control the leak, if this can be done without undue risk. Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors and protect personnel. Control runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal. /Methyl acrylate, inhibited/

For small quantities, absorb on paper towels. Evaporate in safe place (such as fume hood). Allow sufficient time for evaporating vapors to completely clear hood ductwork. Burn paper in suitable location away from combustible materials. Large quantities can be collected & atomized in suitable combustion chamber. Methyl acrylate should not be allowed to enter a confined space, such as a sewer, because of possibility of an explosion.

SRP: Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in air, soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations. If it is possible or reasonable use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination.

Fireproof. See Chemical Dangers. Cooled. Keep in the dark. Well closed. Store only if stabilized.

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Recommended storage temperature 2-8 °C. Light sensitive.

Before entering confined space where this chemical may be present, check to make sure that an explosive concentration does not exist. Methyl acrylate must be stored to avoid contact with oxidizers (such as perchlorates, peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, and nitrates) since violent reactions occur. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat and moisture. At temperatures above 20 °C a violent reation could take place. Methyl acrylate should always be used with an inhibitor. Check that the correct concentration of inhibitor is used; if it is not, a violent reaction could occur. Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibited where methyl acrylate is handled, used, or stored. Metal containers involving the transfer of 5 gallons or more of methyl acrylate should be grounded and bonded. Drums must be equipped with self-closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters. Use only non-sparking tools and equipment, especially when opening and closing containers of methyl acrylate. Wherever methyl acrylate is used, handled, manufactured, or stored, use explosion-proof electrical equipment and fittings.

Separate from oxidizers, peroxides, or other initiators. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place. /Methyl acrylate, inhibited/

If pure, monomer can be stored below +10 °C without incurring polymerization.

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Methyl acrylate is a colorless volatile liquid. It's primary use is production of acrylic and modacrylic fibers, also used as a comonomer with acrylonitrile in such fibers. It is used in dental, medical, and pharmaceutical sciences. Utilized as monomer, polymer, or copolymer, as microencapsulation mixture component or for polymerization of radioactive waste, as resin in purification and decolorization of industrial effluents or aid in timed release and disintegration of pesticides. HUMAN STUDIES: Methyl acrylate is an irritant in patients at 20 pph in olive oil. It is also an allergen. Because of its irritating properties, the concentration of 2 pph is proposed for allergenic investigation, a risk of sensitization due to test repetition exists. Methyl acrylate is highly irritating to the GI tract. Chronic absorption may affect liver and kidney tissue. A case has been documented where a dose of 1000 mg/kg administered subcutaneously proved to be fatal. Methyl acrylate in nail lacquer has been suggested to be a possible cause of contact dermatitis. ANIMAL STUDIES: Methyl acrylate is a reversible irritant to skin and mucous membranes. In guinea pigs, topical application of methyl acrylate causes skin sensitization, with cross reactivity to other acrylates and related compounds. Researchers exposed rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and one monkey to methyl acrylate in air for up to 7 hours at varying concentrations for 1 to 130 days. No deaths were reported in rabbits or guinea pigs at 95 ppm, in rats at 237 ppm, or in monkeys at 31 ppm. Deaths occurred in rabbits and guinea pigs inhaling 237 ppm and in rats at 578 ppm. All animals exposed to the highest concentrations suffered from irritation of mucous membranes, lethargy, dyspnea, and convulsion. Single oral dose of 280 mg/kg bw to rabbits resulted in fatal poisoning, characterized by dyspnea, cyanosis, convulsions, and hypothermia. Oral administration to male rats of 86 and 172 mg/kg methyl acrylate by gavage resulted in dose-dependent gastric toxicity. Topical application caused in rats and mice hyperemia, hemorrhages, and sores. A 2-year inhalation study of male and female rats was carried out 6 hr/day, 5 days/wk in whole body inhalation chambers at 0, 15, 45, or 135 ppm of methyl acrylate. Statistically significant increases in benign hypophyseal tumors were reported for both sexes, and epithelial and leukemic neoplasms were found in the male rats. However, there was no dose-response relationship. Fetal toxicity, indicated by reduced fetal body weight, was observed after exposure to 100 ppm methyl acrylate in the presence of maternal toxicity. Methyl acrylate does not appear to induce detectable gene mutations in bacteria; it does induce micronuclei in mammals in vivo at toxic dosages, and it induces mutations and chromosomal aberrations in mammalian cells at levels causing high cytotoxicity in vitro. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Toxicity tests were conducted using freshwater and marine fish, invertebrates, and algae. Effect concentrations (LC50 or EC50) for fish and invertebrates using methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and butyl acrylate ranged from 1.1 to 8.2 mg/L.

The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms.

Methyl acrylate's production and use in the manufacture of leather finish resins, textile and paper coatings, plastic films, amphoteric surfactants, vitamin B1, and as a chemical intermediate may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 86.6 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates methyl acrylate will exist solely as a vapor in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase methyl acrylate will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals, ozone and nitrate radicals; the half-lives for these reactions in air are estimated to be 30 hours, 11 days and 334 days, respectively. Methyl acrylate contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, methyl acrylate is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 6. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is expected based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.0X10-4 atm-cu m/mole. Methyl acrylate may volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 37% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 2 weeks indicating that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil and water. If released into water, methyl acrylate is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is expected based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. Estimated volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 7 hours and 5 days, respectively. An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process based on estimated hydrolysis half-lives of 8.5 and 0.85 years at pH values of 7 and 8, respectively. Occupational exposure to methyl acrylate may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where methyl acrylate is produced or used. The general population is not likely to be exposed to methyl acrylate. (SRC)

Methyl acrylate has been reported to be a volatile component of pineapple concentrate(1).

Methyl acrylate's production and use in the manufacture of leather finish resins, textile and paper coatings, plastic films(1), amphoteric surfactants, vitamin B1, and as a chemical intermediate(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 6(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that methyl acrylate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of methyl acrylate from moist soil surfaces is expected(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.0X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure, 86.6 mm Hg(3), and water solubility, 49,400 mg/L(4). Methyl acrylate is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(3). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 37% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 2 weeks indicating that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(5). The degradation rate of methyl acrylate in soil was 3.0X10-7/s based on calculations using a chemical pollution footprint methodology(6).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 6(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that methyl acrylate is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.0X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 86.6 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 49,400 mg/L(5). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 7 hours and 5 days, respectively(SRC). Hydrolysis half-lives of 8.5 and 0.85 years at pH values of 7 and 8, respectively, were estimated for methyl acrylate(2). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow of 0.80(7) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 37% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 2 weeks indicating that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(8). Degradation rates of methyl acrylate in water and sediment were 6.0X10-7/s and 6.6X10-8/s, respectively, based on calculations using a chemical pollution footprint methodology(9).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), methyl acrylate, which has a vapor pressure of 86.6 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase methyl acrylate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals, ozone and nitrate radicals(SRC); the half-lives for these reactions in air are estimated to be 30 hours, 11 days and 334 days(SRC), calculated from its respective rate constants of 1.3X10-11, 1.05X10-18 and 1.0X10-16 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Methyl acrylate contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). The degradation rate of methyl acrylate in air was 7.8X10-6/s based on calculations using a chemical pollution footprint methodology(5).

AEROBIC: Methyl acrylate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 37% of its theoretical BOD in 14 days using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). It has been suggested that methyl acrylate should degrade by biological sewage treatment processes with suitable acclimation(2).

ANAEROBIC: It has been suggested that methyl acrylate should degrade by anaerobic biodegradation in industrial wastewater treatment(1).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of methyl acrylate with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been reported as 1.3X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 30 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(2). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of methyl acrylate with ozone has been reported as 1.05X10-18 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 11 days at an atmospheric concentration of 7X10+11 ozone molecules per cu cm(3). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of methyl acrylate with nitrate radicals has been reported as 1.0X10-16 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 334 days at an atmospheric concentration of 2.4X10+8 nitrate radicals per cu cm(4). A base-catalyzed second-order hydrolysis rate constant of 0.026 L/mole-sec(SRC) was estimated using a structure estimation method(2); this corresponds to half-lives of 8.5 and 0.85 years at pH values of 7 and 8, respectively(2). Methyl acrylate contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(5) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for methyl acrylate(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.80(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).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of methyl acrylate can be estimated to be 6(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that methyl acrylate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC)

The Henry's Law constant for methyl acrylate is estimated as 2.0X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 86.6 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 49,400 mg/L(2). This Henry's Law constant indicates that methyl acrylate 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 7 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). Methyl acrylate's estimated Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). The potential for volatilization of methyl acrylate from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(1).

GROUNDWATER: Methyl acrylate was not detected (detection limit: 0.612 ug/L) in 78 shallow groundwater wells from Glassboro, NJ, sampled Sept 1 to Dec 31, 1996(1).

Methyl acrylate emission concentrations from polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate, and ethylene-methyl acrylate resins were <0.01 ug/g(1). Methyl acrylate was detected in the exhaust of a truck running on biodiesel or biodiesel/diesel blend fuel, it was not detected when diesel fuel alone was used(2).

SOURCE DOMINATED: Methyl acrylate was detected at a trace and 4545 ug/cu m in ambient air samples collected from Bound Brook and Newark, NJ, it was not detected in samples from five other New Jersey industrial locations or Staten Island, NY; sampled in March and May 1976(1). Methyl acrylate was reported in atmospheric samples collected Apr 1994 from 3 of 10 sites at a petrochemical park in Lin-Yuan, Taiwan at concentrations of 3.5-67 ug/cu m(2).

According to the 2016 TSCA Inventory Update Reporting data, 13 reporting facilities estimate the number of persons reasonably likely to be exposed in the manufacturing, processing, or use of methyl acrylate in the United States may be as low as <10 workers up to the range of 500-<1000 workers per plant; the data may be greatly underestimated due to confidential business information (CBI) or unknown values(1).

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 9762 workers (3877 of these are female) were potentially exposed to methyl acrylate in the US(1). Occupational exposure to methyl acrylate may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where methyl acrylate is produced or used. The general population is not likely to be exposed to methyl acrylate(SRC).
