Section 3. Hazards Identification
Potential Health Effects Primary Routes of Exposure:
X Skin contact X Skin Absorption X Eye Contact X Inhalation X Ingestion
Routes of Exposure Symptoms
Low vapor pressure of the resin makes inhalation unlikely in normal use.
Inhalation
Moderate irritant. May cause skin sensitization - itching, redness, rashes, and hives.
Skin
May cause moderate eye irritation, redness, and pain.
Eyes
Harmful if swallowed. May cause nausea and irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
Ingestion
The effects of long-term, low-level exposures to this product have not been determined. Safe
handling of this material on a long-term basis should emphasize minimizing contact and using
Chronic
appropriate personal protective equipment.

Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media:
X Water X Carbon Dioxide X Dry Chemical X Foam X Alcohol Foam
>200OF SETA Flash LEL: N/D UEL: N/D
Flash Point
Flash Pt. N/A Class Liquid
Flammability Classification OSHA/NFPA
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam.
Extinguishing Media
Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry.
Fire fighters should wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (
SCBA) and protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosions Hazards
Cool closed containers with WATER SPRAY to avoid explosion.
Heat from fire can generate vapor and decomposition products that may cause a
health hazard.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
ISOLATE AREA OF THE SPILL! Eliminate all ignition sources. Soak up small spills with inert solids such as vermiculite or
other absorbent materials. Shovel into suitable disposal container. Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded
from the area of spill until cleanup has been completed.
Section 7. Handling & Storage
Store material in a clean, cool, ventilated area away from all sources of ignition. Clean up spills at once. Keep container
tightly closed when not in use. Always wear protective equipment. Wash hands and other exposed areas thoroughly after
handling. Handle mixed resin and hardener in accordance with the potential hazard of the curing agent used. Provide
appropriate ventilation/respiratory protection against nuisance dust during sanding/grinding of cured product.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Exposure
Avoid splashing. Wear chemical-resistant safety goggles or face shield. Contact
Eye Protection
lenses must not be worn.
Chemical resistant synthetic rubber (neoprene, nitrile) gloves and other
protective clothing are recommended to prevent repeated or prolonged skin

contact.
If personal exposure cannot be controlled below applicable limits by area
ventilation, wear a properly fitted organic vapor/particulate respirator approved
