III. Hazards Identification
A. Emergency Overview:
Physical Appearance and Odor:
Liquid with rotten egg odor
B. Potential Health Effects:
Acute Eye:
Contact with eyes causes irritation.
Acute Skin:
Contact with skin causes irritation and redness.
Acute Inhalation:
May cause sensitization if inhaled.
Acute ingestion:
No exposure effects anticipated under normal work conditions. May cause gastrointestinal
irritation if swallowed.
Chronic effects:
None
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Not Determined.
IV. First Aid Measures
First Aid Measures for Accidental:
Eye Exposure:
Hold lids apart and immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical advice.
Skin Exposure:
Remove contaminated clothing or shoes, wipe excess from skin and flush with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Use soap if available or follow by washing with soap and water. Do not reuse
clothing until thoroughly cleaned. Get medical attention.

Inhalation:
Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm. Consult doctor if
symptoms persist. In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for
transportation.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Give one glass of water unless victim is drowsy, convulsing, or
unconscious. Seek medical attention.
Notes to Physician:
Symptoms: Irritation as noted above. Skin sensitization (allergy) may be evidenced by rashes,
especially hives.
V. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire Hazard Data:
220癈 (428癋)
Flash Point:
Lower: NA Upper: NA
Flammability Limits (vol/vol%):
Extinguishing Media:
CO2, extinguishing powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant
foam. Use fire fighting measures that suit the environment.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear (helmet with face shield, bunker coats,
gloves, and rubber boots) including a positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Material will not burn unless preheated. Delayed lung damage (pulmonary edema) can be
experienced after exposure to combustion products, sometimes hours after the exposure.
Hazardous Decomposition Materials (Under Fire Conditions):
Nitrogen oxides and other potentially hazardous nitrogen-containing compounds may be released
upon combustion.
VI. Accidental Release Measures
Cleanup and Disposal of Spill:
Ensure adequate ventilation. Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal
binders, sawdust and dispose of spilled materials according to the applicable Federal, State, or local
regulations. Do not allow to enter sewers/surface or ground water.

VII. Handling and Storage
Handling:
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Avoid prolonged breathing. Even empty containers can contain residues
which can contain hazardous product. Contaminated leather articles including shoes should be destroyed
to prevent reuse. Heating this product above 300 Deg. F in the presence of air may cause slow oxidative
decomposition; above 500 Deg. F, polymerization may occur. Some epoxy resins can produce
exothermic reactions which in large masses can cause runaway polymerization. Fumes and vapors from
thermal and chemical decomposition may be extremely toxic. Use either an atmosphere-supplying
respirator or an air-purifying respirator for organic vapors.
Storage:
Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage and in closed containers away from open flames, high temperatures,
acids and oxidizers.
VIII. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Guidelines:
Not Applicable
Engineering Controls:
Not Applicable.
Respiratory Protection:
None normally required. In case of inadequate ventilation use NIOSH-approved respirator.
Eye / Face Protection:
Wear appropriate safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles as described by OSHA's eye and
face protection regulations in 29CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Use full face shield when
cleaning processing fume condensates from hoods, ducts, and other surfaces.
Skin Protection:
Wear chemical resistant gloves when handling the product.
