Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
路 For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
路 Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
路 Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
路 Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting
the upper and lower lids.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
路 Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available.
路 Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short-term repeated exposures to highly alkaline materials:
路 Respiratory stress is uncommon but present occasionally because of soft tissue edema.
路 Unless endotracheal intubation can be accomplished under direct vision, cricothyroidotomy or tracheotomy may be necessary.
路 Oxygen is given as indicated.
路 The presence of shock suggests perforation and mandates an intravenous line and fluid administration.
路 Damage due to alkaline corrosives occurs by liquefaction necrosis whereby the saponification of fats and solubilisation of
proteins allow deep penetration into the tissue.
Alkalis continue to cause damage after exposure.
INGESTION:
路 Milk and water are the preferred diluents
No more than 2 glasses of water should be given to an adult.
路 Neutralising agents should never be given since exothermic heat reaction may compound injury.
* Catharsis and emesis are absolutely contra-indicated.
* Activated charcoal does not absorb alkali.
* Gastric lavage should not be used.
Supportive care involves the following:
路 Withhold oral feedings initially.
路 If endoscopy confirms transmucosal injury start steroids only within the first 48 hours.
路 Carefully evaluate the amount of tissue necrosis before assessing the need for surgical intervention.
路 Patients should be instructed to seek medical attention whenever they develop difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).

PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATOR
Type AK-P Filter of sufficient capacity
EYE
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document,
describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review
of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid
personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical
exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first
signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands
thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such a:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
When handling corrosive liquids, wear trousers or overalls outside of boots, to avoid spills entering boots.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other
protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
OTHER
路 Overalls.
路 PVC Apron.
路 PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
路 Eyewash unit.
路 Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in special
circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special
circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouses and enclosed
storage areas.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances
TOXICITY IRRITATION.
Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis
of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions,
e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not simply
determined by its sensitisation potential: the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are
equally important. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with
stronger sensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are
noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling,
the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.

Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
路 Recycle wherever possible.
路 Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste management authority for disposal if no suitable
treatment or disposal facility can be identified.
路 Treat and neutralise at an approved treatment plant.
路 Treatment should involve: Neutralisation with suitable dilute acid followed by: Burial in a licenced land-fill or Incineration
in a licenced apparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material).
路 Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.
If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure none of the original product remains or if the container cannot be
used to store the same product, then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATOR
Type A-P Filter of sufficient capacity
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document,
describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review
of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid
personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical
exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first
signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands
thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such a:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
路 When handling liquid-grade epoxy resins wear chemically protective gloves (e.g nitrile or nitrile-butatoluene rubber), boots
and aprons.
路 DO NOT use cotton or leather (which absorb and concentrate the resin), polyvinyl chloride, rubber or polyethylene gloves (which
absorb the resin).
路 DO NOT use barrier creams containing emulsified fats and oils as these may absorb the resin; silicone-based barrier creams
should be reviewed prior to use.
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other
protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
OTHER
路 Overalls.
路 Eyewash unit.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in specific
circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances
TOXICITY IRRITATION.
Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis
of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions,
e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not simply
determined by its sensitisation potential: the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are
equally important. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with
stronger sensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are
noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.
