SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation : Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is
difficult. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get medical
attention.
Skin contact : Immediately remove contaminated clothing or shoes, wipe
excess from skin and flush with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Use soap if available or follow by washing with soap
and water. Do not reuse clothing until thoroughly cleaned. Get
medical attention.
Eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes while
holding eyelids open. Rinse continuously with water while on
way to get medical attention
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. Give one glass of water unless victim is
drowsy, convulsing, or unconscious. Seek medical attention
immediately.
Notes to physician
Symptoms : Irritation as noted above. Lung damage (scarring, bronchitis,
emphysema) may be evidenced by shortness of breath,
especially on exertion, and may be accompanied by chronic
cough. Skin sensitization (allergy) may be evidenced by rashes,
especially hives. Early to moderate CNS depression may be
evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness and nausea; in
extreme cases, unconciousness, respiratory depression and
death may occur.
SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Unsuitable extinguishing : Water or fog may cause frothing which can be violent, especially
media if sprayed into containers of hot or burning liquid.
Suitable extinguishing : Use water fog, "alcohol foam", dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
media
Specific hazards during fire : Material will not burn unless preheated. Delayed lung damage

fighting (pulmonary edema) can be experienced after exposure to
combustion products, sometimes hours after the exposure.
Nitrogen oxides and other potentially hazardous
nitrogen-containing compounds may be released upon
combustion.
Cool fire exposed containers with water.
Special protective : Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet
equipment for fire-fighters with face shield, bunker coats, gloves and rubber boots).
including a positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained
breathing apparatus.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions : Prevent all bodily contact with spilled material.
Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risk.
Remove ignition sources.
Environmental precautions : Dike and contain.
Contain run-off and dispose of properly.
Prevent from entering into drains, ditches or rivers.
Clean-up methods - small : Take up with an absorbent material and place in non-leaking
spillage containers.
Seal tightly for proper disposal.
Clean-up methods - large : Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage
spillage vessels.
Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other
suitable material; place in non-leaking containers for proper
disposal.
Flush area with water to remove trace residue.
Additional advice : Notify authorities if any exposures to the general public or
environment occurs or is likely to occur.
See Section 13 for information on disposal.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Advice on safe handling : Do not pressurize drum containers to empty them. Heating this
curing agent above 300 Deg. F in the presence of air may cause
slow oxidative decomposition; above 500 Deg. F, polymerization
may occur. Some epoxy resins can produce exothermic

reactions which in large masses can cause runaway
polymerization and charring of the reactants. Fumes and
vapors from these thermal and chemical decompositions vary
widely in composition and toxicity. Do not breathe fumes. Use a
NIOSH-approved respirator as required to prevent
overexposure. In accord with 29 CFR.1910.134, use either an
atmosphere-supplying respirator or an air-purifying respirator for
organic vapors. Causes severe eye irritation. Causes severe
skin irritation. Causes severe irritation to the respiratory tract.
May be moderately toxic if swallowed. May cause skin
sensitization. May cause CNS depression. Do not get in eyes,
on skin or on clothing. Do not breathe vapour, mists
Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain
hazardous product residues. Wash with soap and water before
eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or using toilet
facilities. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Contaminated leather articles, including shoes, cannot be
decontaminated and should be destroyed to prevent reuse.
Storage
Requirements for storage : Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation. Keep away
areas and containers from open flames and high temperatures.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protective measures : Wear appropriate respirator and full-body protective clothing.
Engineering measures : Use ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations.
Eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available for
emergency use.
Eye protection : Do not get in eyes.
Wear chemical goggles if there is potential contact with eyes.
Skin and body protection : Do not get on skin, on clothing.
Wear chemical-resistant protective clothing such as gloves,
outer clothing or apron, overshoes and a face-shield suitable to
potential exposure.
Respiratory protection : Do not breathe vapors or mists.
Use a NIOSH-approved respirator as required to prevent
overexposure.
In accord with 29 CFR 1910.134,
Use either a full-face, atmosphere-supplying respirator or
air-purifying respirator for organic vapors.
Avoid breathing vapors which may be produced under some
conditions such as heating or applications of uncured material in
large surface areas (e.g., flooring and painting).
