SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air.
Skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with water using
soap if available. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical
attention.
Eye contact : DO NOT DELAY. Flush eye with water. OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. If rapid recovery does not occur, obtain
medical attention.
Notes to physician
Symptoms : Irritation of the skin, eyes and respiratory tract
Treatment : Dermatitis may result from prolonged or repeated exposure. If
skin sensitisation has developed and a causal relationship has
been confirmed, further exposure should not be allowed.
SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Unsuitable extinguishing : Water in a jet.
media
Suitable extinguishing : Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide,
media sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Specific hazards during fire : Not classified as flammable but will burn. Hazardous
fighting combustion products may include carbon monoxide
Not classified as flammable but will burn. Hazardous
combustion products may include carbon monoxide Explosive
dust clouds may be produced. Material will not burn unless
preheated. Organic powders when finely divided (420 microns
or smaller in diameter) and suspended in air may form explosive
dust-air mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion.
Special protective : Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.

Material Safety Data Sheet
Bisphenol A - 157
Version 13.2 Print Date 07/06/2007
Revision Date 06/28/2007
Personal precautions : Avoid raising a dust cloud.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, clothing
Do not breathe dust
Minimize airborne dust and eliminate all ignition sources.
Do not use air hoses for cleaning.
Environmental precautions : Prevent from entering into drains, ditches or rivers.
Inform the local authorities if this cannot be prevented.
Clean-up methods - small : Shovel up and place in a labelled, sealable container for
spillage subsequent safe disposal.
Clean-up methods - large : Minimize dry sweeping to avoid generation of dust clouds.
spillage Vacuum dust-accumulating surfaces and remove to a chemical
disposal area.
Vacuums with explosion-proof motors should be used.
Transfer to a labelled container for product recovery or safe
disposal.
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 : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing Do not breathe dust
Avoid generation or accumulation of dusts. Earth all equipment.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Combustible Dust Handling Procedures: Combustible dusts at
sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air.
High dust concentrations should be avoided. Minimize airborne
dust and eliminate all ignition sources. Keep away from heat,
hot surfaces, sparks, and flame. Establish good housekeeping
practices. Remove dust accumulations on a regular basis by
vacuuming or gentle sweeping to avoid creating dust clouds.
Control sources of static electricity. This product or the package
itself can accumulate static charges, and static discharge can be
a source of ignition. Static discharge in or near flammable
vapors or flammable dust clouds may cause flash fire. Do not
empty directly into flammable solvents or in the presence of
flammable vapors. The operator, the packaging container and
all equipment must be grounded with electrical bonding and
grounding systems. Plastic bags and plastic cannot be
grounded, and antistatic bags do not completely protect against
development of static charges. Follow US NFPA Standard 654,
