3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Canadian WHMIS for the preparation:
Class D, Division 2B ?Toxic Material Causing Eye and Skin Irritation and Skin Sensitization
EU PREPARATION CLASSIFICATION (1999/45/EC):
Irritant (Xi), R36/37/38-43;
Dangerous for the Environment (N), R51/53
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Inhalation of product particulates or of residual solvent vapors may be harmful. May cause
skin sensitization. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: No information is available on this specific mixture as a whole. The information
presented is based on each of the components present at concentrations greater than 1% (0.1 % for carcinogens).
Ingestion may cause digestive tract irritation. Exposure to product can produce delayed pulmonary edema. This product
contains less than one percent total residual solvents (methyl ethyl ketone and/or cyclohexanone). Exposure to residual
vapors may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Animal studies indicate that Methyl Ethyl Ketone may have
toxic effects on human reproduction. Exposure to

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (continued)
cyclohexanone may cause liver and/or kidney toxicity. Dust generated during routine handling, machining, grinding, or
sawing may cause mechanical irritation of skin, eyes, nose, and throat.
Machining, grinding or sawing this material may generate harmful dusts. Continuous filament glass fiber is not considered
fibrogenic; however, it is woven from E-Glass fibers which are listed by IARC as "special purpose glass fibers" and
designated as "possibility of carcinogenic in humans." See Section 8 for exposure controls.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Dermal: YES Inhalation: POSSIBLE Ingestion: SLIGHT Injection: POSSIBLE
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION OCCURS.
INHALATION: Remove the person to fresh air. Treat respiratory distress as appropriate (artificial respiration, etc.)
Provide oxygen if necessary. If not breathing, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and seek immediate medical attention.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of temperate water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Consult an
ophthalmologist for a more detailed medical evaluation.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. W ash skin thoroughly with mild soap and room temperature running water. DO
NOT rub or scratch irritated areas, as this may force fibers into the skin. See immediate medical attention if irritation
continues.
INGESTION: Not expected to be a significant route of exposure based on expected use. If ingestion occurs, seek
immediate medical attention.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: May include irritation of the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, nausea, vomiting,
drowsiness, dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, burning sensation, cough, sore throat and/or an
allergic skin reaction.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be ineffective as an
extinguishing medium, but can be used to cool fire-exposed containers. If using a fire extinguisher, make sure that it is an
NFPA Class B extinguisher (e.g. label rating will read AB, ABC or BC)
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear full bunker gear including a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
GENERAL: Under conditions of inadequate ventilation, explosive vapor concentrations may form. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Sweep or scrape into approved container for proper disposal. See Section 13 for Disposal
Considerations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: May contain residual volatile organic compounds. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not eat,
drink or smoke while handling this product. The use of appropriate gloves is recommended to minimize the potential for
skin contact (See Section 8). Provide adequate ventilation to minimize exposure. Do not breathe dust. Provide proper
NIOSH- or local authority-approved respirators if exposure limits are exceeded.
STORAGE: Store in tightly closed containers in a well-ventilated area at 5-25 篊. Avoid contact with incompatible
materials. Keep from ignition sources, such as sparks and flames. NO SMOKING.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use local exhaust to minimize exposures and maintain airborne dust and vapor concentrations below occupational
exposure limits, especially where heating or machining/grinding/sawing operations occur.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In the absence of adequate general or local ventilation, or other appropriate
engineering controls, use a NIOSH- or local authority-approved respirator appropriate for the contaminant if
exposure limits are exceeded. Consult an industrial hygienist for assistance as needed.
SKIN PROTECTION: Avoid skin contact! Use impervious gloves, and splash-resistant clean body-covering
clothing to minimize exposure. Due to the combination of chemical ingredients, an industrial hygienist should be
consulted to select appropriate glove material for specific product application. Wash contaminated clothing before
reuse.
EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical resistant goggles when handling, and safety glasses or a face shield when
machining, grinding or sawing.
WORK/HYGIENE PRACTICES: Good personal hygiene should be exercised by all users of this product to minimize
potential dermal and inhalation exposures.
