4 FIRST AID MEASURES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapour/spray. Show this safety data sheet to doctor in attendance.
INHALATION
Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected person by
administering oxygen. Contact physician if discomfort continues.
INGESTION
Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that stomach vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical
attention immediately!

SKIN CONTACT
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water for several minutes. Contact physician if irritation persists.
EYE CONTACT
Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
Contact physician if irritation persists.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Fire can be extinguished using: Alcohol resistant foam. Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Dry Chemicals.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS
Flammable. Avoid breathing fire vapours. Vapour may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Keep upwind to avoid fumes. Avoid water in straight hose stream; will scatter and spread fire. Cool containers exposed to flames with
water until fire is out. Keep run-off water out of sewers and watercourses. Dike for water control.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Warn everybody of potential hazards and evacuate if necessary. Remove sources of ignition. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact
with skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Provide adequate ventilation.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be IMMEDIATELY
alerted to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate regulatory body.
SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS
Absorb with sand or other inert absorbent. Transfer to a container for disposal. Containers with collected spillage must be properly
labeled with correct contents and hazard symbol.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not
exceeded. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Storage tanks and other containers must be grounded. Do not
smoke, use naked flames or other sources of ignition. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Observe good industrial
hygiene practices.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Store in tightly closed original container in a cool, dry well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.

DURAGAL SDS
PROCESS CONDITIONS
Provide eyewash, quick drench.
ENGINEERING MEASURES
Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not
exceeded.
RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT
Select and use respirators in accordance with AS/NZS 1715/1716.
In poorly ventilated areas use Type A organic vapour/gas filter with half face piece.
When sanding/grinding cured product the use of a P1 dust mask (disposable) or with replaceable filters 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.
HAND PROTECTION
Use protective gloves made of: Chemical resistant gloves: e.g. Nitrile.
EYE PROTECTION
Wear safety glasses or approved chemical safety goggles where eye exposure is reasonably probable.
SKIN PROTECTION
Barrier cream, Protection suit or overalls should be worn.
HYGIENE MEASURES
Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Good personal hygiene is necessary. Wash hands and contaminated areas with
water and soap before leaving the work site. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Change work clothing daily before
leaving work place.

The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants
may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic).
This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis.
The substance is classified by IARC as Group 3: NOT classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.
Evidence of carcinogenicity may be inadequate or limited in animal testing.
