3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Dark brown flakes - phenolic odor
HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PRACTICES.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to this material. Based on
single exposure animal tests, it is considered to be practically non-toxic if swallowed, no more than slightly toxic if
absorbed through skin, and practically non-irritating to eyes. Contact with skin may be slightly irritating.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
IF IN EYES, immediately flush with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
IF ON SKIN, immediately wash with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
IF SWALLOWED, do NOT induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Get medical attention immediately. NEVER
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
IF INHALED, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.

Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to products of combustion should wear full fire fighting turn out
gear (full Bunker Gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure demand NIOSH approved or
equivalent). Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
When burned, the following hazardous products of combustion can occur:
Carbon dioxide
Carbon monoxide
Sulfur oxides
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Contain spill. Sweep or scoop up and remove to suitable container. Consult a regulatory specialist to
determine appropriate state or local reporting requirements, for assistance in waste characterization and/or
hazardous waste disposal and other requirements listed in pertinent environmental permits.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices include avoiding
unnecessary exposure and removal of material from eyes, skin and clothing. Unusual mechanical processing
of product may generate dust.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage
This material is not hazardous under normal storage conditions; however, material should be stored in
closed containers, in a secure area to prevent container damage and subsequent spillage.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures. Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize
exposures. If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as
open process equipment.
Eye / Face Protection
Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.
Skin Protection
Minimize skin contamination by following good industrial hygiene practice. Wearing protective gloves is
recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory Protection
Where airborne exposure is likely, use NIOSH approved respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the
material and/or its components. If exposures cannot be kept at a minimum with engineering controls, consult
respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for a given application. Observe respirator
use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and other conditions where there
may be a potential for significant exposure, use an approved full face positive-pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory
protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 搂 1910.134.
Airborne Exposure Guidelines for Ingredients
The components of this product have no established Airborne Exposure Guidelines
-Only those components with exposure limits are printed in this section.
-Skin contact limits designated with a "Y" above have skin contact effect. Air sampling alone is insufficient to accurately quantitate
exposure. Measures to prevent significant cutaneous absorption may be required.
-ACGIH Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic reactions.
-WEEL-AIHA Sensitizer designator with a value of "Y" above means that exposure to this material may cause allergic skin reactions.
