Potential Health Effects
This product is a physical mixture. The health effects information
about this product is based on the individual ingredients:
OVERVIEW: The most likely routes of overexposure to this product are skin
contact and inhalation. Skin irritation and/or other effects of skin contact
are easily avoided by using proper gloves (see section titled GLOVES) and
washing affected areas immediately if contact occurs. Volatile solvents will
start evaporating during room temperature use of the product, such as
thinning, pouring from jar to dispensing machine, and spin coating. Mist and
solvent vapors will evolve if spray application is used. During wafer drying,
125 - 150 C, and final curing, 350 - 450 C, the remaining solvent(s) will
evaporate. Potential overexposure to other chemicals used in the operation
such as wafer etchants and cleaners should also be considered. Well designed
area and personal air sampling and analysis can show if exposures are within
established limits. Properly designed local ventilation and process
enclosure are effective ways to limit employee exposure where needed. In
addition to meeting exposure limits, it is always prudent to use all
practical means to minimize employee exposure to chemicals. A significant
difference in overall exposure can be made with practical measures such as:
鈥? Inhalation - minimizing by keeping jars of product covere
鈥? Eye - avoiding contact by wearing chemical splash goggles where
there is splash potential
鈥? Ingestion - avoiding by washing hands before eating, drinking or
smoking, and restricting these activities to outside the
work area.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST AID MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid
INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a
physician. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
EYE CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses of
water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a
physician.
Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal mixture may be beneficial. Suspend 50 g activated
charcoal in 400 mL water and mix well. Administer 5 mL/kg, or 350 mL for an
average adult.

Dry Chemical, Carbon Dioxide, Water Spray.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear full protective equipment. Thoroughly decontaminate all equipment
used in firefighting efforts before returning to service.
Toxic decomposition products may form under fire conditions. (See
Decomposition Section.); Wear a full facepiece, positive pressure, self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA); Dispose of residues per federal, state,
and local regulation. (See Waste Disposal Section.).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards (Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections
before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Evacuate personnel, thoroughly ventilate area, use self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Spill Clean Up
Spill, Leak or Release:
FOR SMALL SPILLS, absorb on rags, sand or other absorbent material;
FOR LARGE SPILLS, get workers out of affected area. If flammable
liquids or vapors may be present, turn off electrical devices or other
sources of sparks or flames.
WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. Use supplied-air respiratory protection if
vapor concentrations are not known; Contain spill at source by diking or
absorbing with sand. Do not allow spill to spread to or intentionally flush
to sewer or ground. Wash area thoroughly. Adequately ventilate area; Spill
residue, cleaning rags and absorbent may be considered hazardous. (See Waste
Disposal Section.).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection:
A NIOSH/MSHA approved full-face mask equipped with chemical cartridges
approved for methylamine may be permissible under certain circumstances where
airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection
provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air
supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release,
when exposure levels are not known, or in any other circumstances where air
purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection; For most
conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if handling
at elevated temperatures without sufficient ventilation, use an approved air-
purifying respirator. In dusty atmospheres, use an approved dust respirator;
Selection of a suitable respirator will depend on the properties of the
contaminant(s) and their actual or expected air concentration(s) versus
applicable limits. Consult ANSI Standard Z88.2 for decision logic to select
appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators; A NIOSH/MSHA/OSHA approved air
purifying respiratory with a dust/mist cartridge or canister may be
permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are
expected to exceed limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators
is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any
potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known or any
other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection;
Use a positive pressure air-supplied respirator if concentrations may exceed
exposure limits. Air-purifying respirators are inadequate for this material;
T9039 Material Safety Data Sheet Page 6
If respirators are needed to meet applicable limits, a respiratory protection
program up to the level of OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 is mandatory. This
includes air monitoring, selection, medical approval, training, fit testing,
inspection, maintenance, cleaning, storage, etc; An OSHA/NIOSH respirator for
protection against Nuisance Dust is recommended.
Gloves:
Gloves should be used when the possibility of skin contact exists; The
suitability of a particular glove and glove material should be determined as
part of an overall glove program. Considerations may include chemical
breakthrough time; permeation rate; abrasion, cut and puncture resistance;
flexibility; duration of contact; etc.
Other Protection Practices:
Appropriate eye protection such as chemical splash goggles should be
used if the possibility of eye contact exists; Protective outer clothing
should be used where the possibility of body contact exists. Additional
engineering controls, work practices and training may be required depending
on exposure levels.These are discussed in the OSHA Respiratory Protection
Standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR
1910.1200). Do not breath dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
wash thoroughly after handling.
