As I read it, Acrylic Monomer refers to a class of chemicals, not one single substance. Here's a primer: http://tinyurl.com/2fr5ywj I won't attempt to summarize or characterize its contents. -- Mark Schecter On Nov 2, 2010, at 4:37 AM, "Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft" <AlliedPianoCraft at hotmail.com> wrote: > It's an Acrylic Monomer.

Although, the Monomer stinks, it is not a direct health hazard. I used to have the Safety Sheets on this product, but can't seem to find them at the moment. If you need to have ALL of the pertinent data regarding this, please contact Pianotek. Since they are the authorized distributor of this product, they are required to have the Safety Sheets, (forget the abreviation of this sheet that all refer to), available to any/all who request it. It's biggest no-no is not to get in direct skin contact as it could possibly cause skin irritations. Of course, normal ventilation procedures, that all of us should use, when working with solvents, etc., do apply. As I recall, there is no evidence of this stuff causing problems, like say.....Polyester Touchup solutions that are extremely cacinogenic when in a liquid form. We should all have the information before casting doubts about this and other products we use. I would say that the recent request for th e list of "nasties" should include this product. As always, it only takes one Henny Penny to say "The Sky is Falling!".<G> >>> Regards, >>> Joe >>> >>> >>> Joe Garrett, R.P.T. >>> Captain of the Tool Police >>> Squares R I >>> >> > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
