Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Do not enter confined fire space without full bunker gear
(helmet/face shield, bunker coat, gloves & rubber boots). Use positive pressure NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool fire exposed containers with water.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Heating of resin above 3000F in presence of air may cause
slow oxidative decomposition. Above 5000F polymerization may occur. Some curing agents, e.g.
aliphatic amines can produce exothermic reactions which in large masses can cause runaway
polymerization & charring of reactants. Fumes & vapors from these thermal & chemical
decompositions vary widely in composition/toxicity. DO NOT BREATHE FUMES. Unidentified
fumes/vapors may be toxic.
Section 5 - REACTIVITY DATA:
Stability: Stable XX Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heating over long periods of time degrades
the resin.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Bases, acids, amines and oxidizing materials.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: The by-products expected in incomplete pyrolysis or
combustion of epoxy resins are mainly phenolics, carbon monoxide and water.
Hazardous Polymerization: May Occur __ May Not Occur XX NOTE: Masses of more than 1
pound of product plus an aliphatic amine will cause irreversible polymerization with considerable
heat buildup.

individuals. Get medical attention if symptoms persist (contaminated leather articles i.e. shoes,
should be disposed of as contaminated waste). NOTE: hot product burns require immediate
medical attention.

allergies.
Section 7 - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE:
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Product may burn although not readily
ignitable. Use cautious judgment when cleaning up large spills. Respirator and protective
equipment as appropriate. Dike and contain material. Soak up residue with absorbent (clay, sand)
materials and place into container for disposal.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal EPA regulations.
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storing: Store in cool, dry place away from open flames,
high temperatures and incompatible materials (including epoxy hardeners).
Section 8 - CONTROL MEASURES:
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): A NIOSH approved vapor canister may be used to maintain
vapor concentration below TLV.
Ventilation: Local Exhaust: To maintain vapor concentration below TLV.
Mechanical (General): As needed.
Protective Clothing or Equipment: Safety glasses/goggles with side shields, rubber gloves and
apron to protect skin and clothing.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Wash hands with soap and water after use. Launder contaminated
clothing before reuse.
