* Millions of particles per cubic foot of air
** particulate matter containing no asbestos and < 1% crystalline silica.
A = Respirable dust: 250% SiO2 + 5 millions of particles per cubic foot of air (mppcfa); % of crystalline silica based
on airborne samples.
B = Respirable fraction of particulate matter for the substance listed. The concentration of respirable dust for the
application of this limit is to be determined from the fraction passing a size-selector with the characteristics defined in
the 鈥渃鈥? paragraph of Appendix D.
Section 3 --- Hazard Information
Appearance and Odor: White-colored heavy paste-like material with characteristic resin odor.
HMIS Rating: No hazard rating is available for this product.
Primary Entry Routes: Skin contact, inhalation, ingestion and eye contact.
Effects of Overexposure:
Inhalation: Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract.

Section 3 --- Hazard Information (cont.)
Ingestion: Not expected to be a source of exposure in normal industrial use.
Carcinogenicity
IARC Class 1 (carcinogenic to humans): Crystalline silica
IARC Class 3 (not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans): Amorphous silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, and
cyclohexanone
Section 4 --- First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air and support breathing as required. If symptoms (wheezing, coughing,
shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the
victim to a hospital for treatment.
Eye Contact: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Lift eyelids and flush immediately with
flooding amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Do not allow the victim to rub his/her eyes or keep them shut.
Consult a physician or ophthalmologist if all material cannot be removed or if there is continuing irritation.
Skin Contact: Remove clothing around affected area. Rinse away loose material and wash affected area with mild
soap and water. If there is a severe skin reaction or reddened or blistered skin, consult a physician and be prepared to
transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Contact a poison control center
with information from this MSDS and the Technical Data Sheet on the composition of the material ingested. Unless
the poison control center advises otherwise, give the person one or two glasses of water, then induce vomiting. After
first aid have the person see a physician for follow up care.
Section 5 --- Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: >400掳F, ASTM Method, D 92, Cleveland Open Cup
Autoignition Temperature: None reported
Lower Explosive Limit: None reported
Upper Explosive Limit: None reported.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Under fire conditions polymers decompose. The smoke may contain
unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds. Hazardous combustion products may include and are not limited to
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Fire Fighting: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full facepiece operated in the pressure
demand or positive pressure mode. Fumes produced by fire are hazardous. Do not allow runoff from fire fighting to
enter roadways or sewers. Material may dry out and present additional fire/explosion hazards.
Section 6 --- Accidental Release Measures
Use appropriate safety equipment. Absorb spills with sand or other non- 鈥揷ombustible absorbent and place in waste
containers. Dispose of all waste materials according to federal, state, and local environmental regulations.
Section 7 --- Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid unnecessary skin contact. Handle with care. Handle in well鈥搗entilated area. Use safety glasses with
sideshields and impervious gloves whenever handling this material. Allow material to come to room temperature for
24 hours before mixing.
Storage: Store Materials in closed containers at room temperature but not over 100掳F. Protect containers from
physical damage. Shelf life up to one year.

Section 8 --- Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Engineering Control and Ventilation: General ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Respiratory Protection: None required when adequate ventilation conditions exist. Wear a NIOSH approved air
purifying respirator if respiratory irritation is experienced.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields and /or goggles as necessary to prevent material from entering
eyes.
Skin Protection: Use impervious gloves such as neoprene, nitrile, or rubber for hand protection. These should be
worn one day only if exposed to particulates, and washed before reuse.
Other Protective Equipment: Eyewash fountain and safety shower should be in the immediate area.
Section 9 --- Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical State: White, heavy paste-like material
Appearance/Odor: Fruity odor.
Solubility: Insoluble
Specific Gravity (H2O=1): 1.5 gm/cc
Section 10 --- Stability and Reactivity
Stability: Product is stable under normal laboratory conditions, however, excessive heating over long periods of time
will degrade the resin.
Chemical Incompatibilities: Mineral acid and strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Under fire conditions polymers decompose. The smoke may contain
unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds. Hazardous combustion products may include and are not limited to
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization will not occur under normal conditions.
