4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Swallowed:
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Give 3 to 4 glasses of water to drink. Seek urgent medical assistance.
Eye:
If material is splashed into eyes, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, ensuring eye lids are held open.

First Aid Facilities:
Eye wash fountain, safety shower and normal wash room facilities.
Advice to Doctor:
Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) required for fire-fighting
personnel. If possible to do so safely, shut off fuel to fire. Use water spray to spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to
protect personnel. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling fire exposed containers when using water
spray, boil-over may occur when the product temperature reaches the boiling point of water.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapours from this product may travel or be moved by air currents
and be ignited by pilot lights, other flames, smoking, sparks, heaters, electrical equipment, static discharge or other
ignition sources at locations distant from the point of handling.
Flammability
Flammable liquid. Avoid all sources of ignition, heat and naked flames.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY ACTION:
Keep unnecessary people away; Isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; Keep out of low areas. Do not walk or
touch spilt material unless wearing personal protection as outlined under MSDS.
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURE:
Shut off ignition sources, no flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Water
spray may reduce vapour; but it may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
SMALL SPILLS:
Take up with sand, dirt or vermiculite. DO NOT use sawdust. Use non-sparking tools or HEPA vacuum system. Place
into labelled drum(s) for later disposal.
LARGE SPILLS:
Notify Emergency Services (Police or Fire Brigade). Tell them exact location, nature, hazards, quantities, type of
vehicle and any other information that would be helpful. Contain spill. Remove all ignition sources and safely stop flow
of spill. Bund area. Trained personnel should wear Personal Protective equipment as highlighted in this MSDS. Blanket
the spill with foam or use water fog to disperse vapour clouds. Consult an expert regarding disposal of this product.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from sources of heat or ignition, strong alkalis, acids,
combustibles and oxidizing agents. All equipment must be earthed. Store in original packages as approved by
manufacturer. For further information please refer to the Engineering Controls of this MSDS.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards
No exposure standards are available for this product, however, the following exposure standards have been assigned by
the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (NOHSC) to the following components of the product:
HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS
(Worksafe Australia)
[TWA]80 ppm 350 mg/m鲁
[STEL]150 ppm 655 mg/m鲁
References: A;R
(ACGIH)
[TWA]100 ppm 434 mg/m鲁
[STEL]150 ppm 651 mg/m鲁
Carcinogen Category: A4
Notices: BEI
EPOXY RESIN
No exposure standards have been assigned by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (NOHSC)
Engineering Controls
Flammable liquid. Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. Prevent accumulation of vapours in hollows or sumps.
Eliminate any sources of ignition. Elevated temperature or mechanical action may form vapours, mists or fumes which
may require local exhaust ventilation systems.
Personal Protection Equipment
CLOTHING: PVC or rubber apron.
GLOVES: PVC or rubber.
EYES: Chemical goggles or faceshield to protect eyes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing of vapours/gases. Select and use respirators in accordance with
AS/NZS 1715/1716. When vapours/gases exceed the exposure standards then the use of a half-face respirator with
organic vapour cartridge is recommended. For high concentration use an atmosphere-supplied, positive pressure
demand self-contained or airline breathing apparatus, complying with the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 is
recommended. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant.
If entering spaces where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other
acceptable International Standard is recommended.
