Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EPOXY RESINS CAUSE IRRITATION OF SKIN
AND EYES AND POSSIBLE DERMATITIS OR ALLERGY/SENSITIZATION. VAPORS
COMING OFF HEATED MATERIAL MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. EPOXIES ARE
COMMONLY MUTAGENIC TO BACTERIA. DDS CAUSES SEVERE SKIN
SENSITIZATION, MINOR BODY AILMENTS, BLOOD DISORDERS. FIBERS CAUSE
MECHANICAL SKIN IRRITATION & *
Effects of Overexposure:*POSSIBLE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:MAY AGGRAVATE EXISTING ALLERGIES OR
ENZYMES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================

===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NA
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SCBA. EXOTHERMIC POLYMERIZATION MAY OCCUR.
INCINERATION MAY GENERATE AIRBORNE CARBON FIBERS WHICH MAY CAUSE
ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS.
Spill Release Procedures:PICK UP AND USE UNCONTAMINATED MATERIAL.
CONTAMINATED MATERIAL SHOULD BE PICKED UP AND DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:PROTECT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AGAINST
