Is acrylic acid harmful to humans?

Acrylic acid is a chemical agent, and many people know that chemical agents are actually harmful to the body. So, is acrylic acid harmful to humans? If you are engaged in the production or processing of acrylic acid, you will be very concerned about this issue. Below we will introduce to you the basic information and hazards of acrylic acid, hoping that it will be helpful for you to understand acrylic acid.

English name: Acrylic acid

Molecular formula: C3H4O2 Relative molecular weight: 72.06

Structural formula: H2C=CH-C-OH

Hazard Class: Class 8.1, high flash point flammable liquid, acidic corrosive

Chemical category: Acryloyl compounds Manufacturer: Shanghai Huayi Acrylic Co., Ltd.

3. Health Hazards: Routes of entry: Inhalation, ingestion, percutaneous absorption. Health Hazards: This product is highly irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract.

4. First aid measures Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing immediately and rinse with plenty of running drinking water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

Eye contact: Immediately lift the eyelids and rinse thoroughly with plenty of running drinking water or saline for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

Inhalation: Quickly leave the scene to a place with fresh air and keep the respiratory tract open. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen; if breathing stops, perform artificial respiration immediately. Seek medical attention. Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, give warm salt water, milk or egg white. Seek medical attention.

Dangerous characteristics: It is flammable. Its vapor can form an explosive mixture with air. It can cause combustion and explosion when exposed to open flames or high heat. It can react violently with oxidants. As the temperature rises, the speed of self-polymerization accelerates, releasing a large amount of heat and causing combustion and explosion accidents.

Fire extinguishing method: Firefighters must wear gas masks and stand upwind to extinguish the fire at a safe distance. Use water mist to keep the fire scene containers cool, spray the escaping liquid with water to dilute it into a non-flammable aqueous solution, and use water mist to protect firefighters. Fire extinguishing agent: water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide.
