SECTION IV: FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, keeping the
eyelids open. Get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Get medical attention if
irritation develops.
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If
breathing is difficult, qualified personnel may administer oxygen. Get medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, get medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
SECTION V: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT/METHOD OF DETERMINATION: 485掳F/252掳C, PMCC
MEANS OF EXTINCTION: Use water-spray, foam, dry chemical or CO2 to extinguish fires. Use water to keep containers
cool.
SPECIAL FIRE HAZARDS: Avoid exposure through use of a self-contained, positive-pressure breathing apparatus.
SECTION VI: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PROCEDURES IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL RELEASE OF LEAKAGE: Ventilate area. Avoid breathing vapor. Use self-
contained breathing apparatus or supplied air for large spills or confined areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing
(See Section VIII). Contain spill if possible. Absorb or wipe up with suitable material, put into a container and dispose of
properly (See Section XIII). Prevent entry into sewers and waterways.
SECTION VII: HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation.
Store in closed containers. Keep sealed from dirt and moisture Keep away from open flames and high temperatures
( above 120掳 F.
SECTION VIII: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Avoid eye and skin contact. Wear chemical type goggles and a face shield.
SKIN PROTECTION: Protective clothing such as uniforms, coveralls or lab coats must be worn. Launder or dry-clean
when soiled. Gloves, resistant to chemicals are required.
MSDS NUMBER: TYFO-SA00-01 DATE: Oct. 1, 1997 PAGE 3 OF 5
SECTION VIII: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION (CONTINUED)
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Not ordinarily required. If vapor or mist is generated, use a NIOSH approved organic
vapor respirator. If sufficient dust is generated during machining of the cured product, use a NIOSH approved dust
respirator.
VENTILATION: Local exhaust ventilation recommended sufficient to control the vapor, mist or dust being generated. If
exhaust ventilation is not available or is inadequate, use a NIOSH approved respirator, as appropriate.
GENERAL HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS: Before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities, wash face and
hands thoroughly with soap and water. remove any contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Properly dispose of
shoes and clothing that are extremely contaminated. Use vacuum equipment to remove cured product dust from clothing
and work areas. Compressed air is not recommended.

SECTION X: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Stable under normal handling and storage conditions.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, strong Lewis or mineral acids and strong
mineral and organic bases especially primary and secondary aliphatic amines.
PRODUCTS EVOLVED FROM HEAT OF COMBUSTION OR DECOMPOSITION:
The products of combustion and decomposition depend on other materials present in the fire and the actual conditions of
the fire. Burning will produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, aldehydes, phenolics, water and other unidentified gases
and vapors which may be toxic. Avoid inhalation.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur under normal conditions of use. When mixed with Component B of a
resin system and/or rapid heating of the product in bulk may produce an uncontrolled exothermic reaction which may char
and decompose the resin system, generating unidentified gases and vapors which may be toxic. Avoid inhalation.
