SECTION 3: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Appearance: Silver colored epoxy.
Potential Health Effects:
Eyes: Will produce severe irritation and possible irreversible damage.
Skin: May be absorbed. Can cause irritation, redness, swelling, blisters.
Ingestion: May cause severe gastric pain, mouth and throat burns, lung damage.
Inhalation: Inhalation can be severely irritating to the respiratory tract. May cause headaches, nausea, and dizziness.
Chronic Effects of Over Exposure: No specific information available.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately flush with large amounts of water holding eyelids apart to rinse the entire surface of the eye. Have eyes examined by a Physician.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops/persists.
Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention. If Part B is swallowed, immediately give 2 glasses (16oz) water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids
again. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Inhalation: In case of discomfort caused by inhaling a high concentration of vapors, get fresh air. If person is not breathing, start artificial respiration. Contact a
Physician if necessary.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: > 400掳F COC LEL: NA
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Treat as a class B fire.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Remove all ignition sources. Closed containers may rupture due to build-up of pressure when exposed to extreme heat. Fight fire from a
safe distance. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure demand, OSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spills: Absorb spill with absorbent material, then place in a sealed container for proper disposal.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Overheating may cause container to rupture. Use explosion proof electrical equipment. Containers must be kept closed and ventilation provided to prevent vapor
concentration build-up. Store in a cool dry place. Do not breathe vapor or get liquid in eyes, or on skin and clothing. Keep away from heat or sources of ignition.
Check all containers for leaks. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors or contact with skin. Ensure that all equipment is grounded to prevent static discharge.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied due to solid or vapor residue. All hazard precautions given in this data sheet must be observed for empty
containers.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
