|
| EMERGENCY OVERVIEW |
Sodium polyacrylate is a white, granular, odorless polymer that yields a gel-like material with the addition of water. It is insoluble in water and causes extremely slippery conditions when wet. Although not regulated as a hazardous material, the respirable dust is potential respiratory tract irritant. The manufacturer recommends an eight-hour exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m³. |
| INHALATION | Exposure to respirable dust may cause respiratory tract and lung irritation and may aggravate existing respiratory conditions. |
| INGESTION | Although not a likely route of entry, tests have shown that polyacrylate absorbents are non-toxic if ingested. However, as in any instance of non-food consumption, seek medical attention in the event of any adverse symptoms. |
| SKIN | Exposure to the dust, such as in manufacturing, may aggravate existing skin conditions due to drying effect. |
| EYES | Dust may cause burning, drying, itching, and other discomfort, resulting in reddening of the eyes. |
|
Eye Contact |
Immediately flush with plenty of water. Remove particles remaining under the eyelids. Get medical attention if irritation persists. |
|
SkinContact |
Remove polyacrylate absorbent dust from skin using soap and water. |
|
Inhalation |
If inhaled, move to source of fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. |
| Ingestion | Non-toxic by ingestion. However, if adverse symptoms appear, seek medical attention. |

Ecotoxicity
A: General Product Information:
Composted polyacrylate absorbents are non-toxic to aquatic or terrestrial organisms at predicted exposure levels.
B: Component Analysis – Ecotoxicity – Aquatic Toxicity
No information available.
Environmental Fate:
Polyacrylate absorbents are relatively inert in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. They are immobile in landfills and soil systems (> 90% retention), with the mobile fraction showing biodegradability. They are also compatible with incineration of municipal solid waste. Incidental down-the-drain disposal of small quantities of polyacrylic absorbents will not affect the performance of wastewater treatment systems.
