Emergency Overview
Signs of Overexposure: Nausea, cough, dizziness, weakness, headache, chest pain, lack of coordination, shortness
of breath, dermatitis, redness and/or pain in eyes.
Emergency First Aid: Move to fresh air, remove contaminated clothing, wash effected skin with soap and water, do not
use solvents or thinners; if product gets into eyes, remove contact lenses, flush with water for 15 minutes.
Handling: When handling, wear an organic vapor cartridge respirator (NIOSH / OSHA), solvent resistant gloves and
safety eye protection designed to guard against liquid splashes. Close all containers tightly after use. Do not eat, drink
or smoke in work areas.
Clean-up: Eliminate sources of ignition. Dike to reduce extent of spill if liquid. Remove with inert absorbent
(vermiculite, perlite) using non-sparking tools. Transfer to a grounded metal container, seal container. Dispose of as
hazardous waste.
Other Precautions: Material has an offensive odor. Prolonged exposure may reduce the user's sensitivity to the odor,
thus reducing the effectiveness of odor as a warning against exposure.
Fire Fighting: Organic peroxide, refer to Guide 145 of the North American Emergency Guide Book.
NFPA Flammability: Containers of hardeners are not expected to cause fire fighting problems since the individual
quantities are quite small.
Bondo Corporation has no oversight with respect to the guidance practices or policies or manufacturing processes of
other companies handling or using this material. The information given in this MSDS is only related to the product as
shipped in its original condition as described in Section 2, "Hazardous Ingredients" and Section 9 "Physical and
Chemical Properties".

Section 3 ?Hazards Identification
Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation, skin contact, ingestion, eyes.
Exposure Effects Acute and Chronic:
Inhalation: Acute: Nasal and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, possible
unconsciousness, central nervous system depression. Va p o rs are corrosive to nose , throat and lun gs.
Skin contact: Acute: Extraction of natural oils with resulting dry skin, irritation, redness and dermatitis.
Eye contact: Acute: Con tact may cause seve re eye damag e.
Ingestion: Acute: Ve ry corrosive; may be harmfu l or fata l.
Chronic: Repeated overexposure to these products may cause central nervous system damage, kidney damage, liver
abnormalities, lung damage, cardiac abnormalities, reproductive organ damage, skin sensitization and dermatitis.
Other Health Effects: Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or
fatal. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain
and nervous system damage.
Section 4 ?First Aid Measures
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: In all cases if symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Inhalation - move to fresh air, give artificial respiration if necessary.
Skin contact - remove contaminated clothing, wash with soap and water or recognized skin cleaner. Do not use
solvents or thinners.
Eye contact - contact lenses must be removed, flush with water for at least 15 minutes, consult a physician
immediately.
Ingestion - drink one or two glasses of water to dilute. Do not induce vomiting. Consult a physician or poison control
center immediately. Treat symptomatically
Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation: Pulmonary conditions, skin disorders, eye disorders, liver conditions,
kidney conditions, neurological disorders, allergies, pregnancy, reproductive system disorders.
Section 5 ?Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point (SFCC): 180F (82C)
Lower Explosive Limit: not available
Extinguishing Media: foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or water fog or spray. Water jet or stream is unsuitable.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Invisible vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Since vapors
are heavier than air, dangerous concentrations may not be apparent to casual observation. Keep containers tightly
closed, isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Closed containers may explode when exposed
to extreme heat. Obtain medical attention. P e roxide s and deco mpo sition prod u cts are flammab le and can ign ite with
e xp losive force if con fined .
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Water should be used to cool containers exposed to fire. Fire fighting personnel
should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Section 6 ?Accidental Release
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled: Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid breathing vapors,
ventilate confined area. Remove with inert absorbent using non-sparking tools. If necessary report to applicable
government agency.
Section 7 ?Handling and Storage
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing: Minimize contact between the worker and this material. Do not
transfer to unlabeled containers. No smoking. Store plastic containers inside closed, approved boxes or safety
cabinets. Store containers out of sun and away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Close all containers after each
use. Consult NFPA and local codes for additional storage requirements.
Hygienic Practices: Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas. Wash hands before eating, smoking, or using the
washroom. Launder clothing before reuse.
Other Precautions: Do not take internally. Observe label precautions. Keep closures tight and container upright to
prevent leakage. The information contained in this safety data sheet does not constitute the user's own assessment of
workplace risks as required by regulations.
Section 8 ?Exposure Controls
Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation, skin contact, ingestion, eyes.
Respiratory Protection: If monitoring demonstrates levels below TLV or PEL wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved
respirator device. See safety equipment supplier for evaluation and recommendation.
Ventilation: Provide sufficient ventilation to keep vapor concentration below the given TLV and/or PEL.
Protective Gloves: Required for prolonged or repeated contact. Use solvent resistant gloves. Barrier creams are not
substitutes for full physical protection. Refer to safety equipment supplier for effective glove recommendations.
Eye Protection: Use safety goggles or face shield designed to protect against splash of liquids when spraying or when
working with open liquids such as during mixing or pouring.
Other Protective Equipment: Eye bath and shower should be available. Use chemical resistant apron, boots or other
clothing if needed to avoid repeated or frequent contact. Liquid may penetrate shoes and leather causing delayed
irritation.
