Flammability Flammable. May evolve toxic gases (carbon oxides, phenols, hydrocarbons) when heated to
decomposition.Eliminate all ignition sources including cigarettes, open flames, spark producing switches/tools,
heaters, naked lights, pilot lights, mobile phones etc. when handling. Earth containers when dispensing fluids

Explosion
above) including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when combating fire. Use waterfog to cool intact
containers and nearby storage areas.
Extinguishing Dry agent, carbon dioxide or foam. Prevent contamination of drains or waterways. Absorb runoff with sand or similar.
Hazchem Code 3[Y]
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spillage If spilt (bulk), contact emergency services where appropriate. Wear splash-proof goggles, PVA/viton gloves, a Type
A (Organic vapour) respirator (or Air-line respirator in poorly ventilated areas), coveralls and boots. Ventilate and
clear area of all unprotected personnel. Eliminate all heat and ignition sources. Absorb spill with sand or similar,
collect and place in sealable containers for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin
contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating,
drinking and smoking in contaminated areas (eg. if container is damaged).
Storage Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents, acids, alkalis, direct sunlight, heat or ignition
sources, foodstuffs, out of direct sunlight and out of the reach of children. Ensure containers are adequately labelled,
protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use. Check regularly for leaks or spills. Large storage areas
should have appropriate fire protection.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation Do not inhale vapours. Use in well ventilated areas. In poorly ventilated areas, mechanical explosion proof extraction
ventilation is recommended.Flammable/ explosive vapours may accumulate in poorly ventilated areas. Vapours are
heavier than air and may travel some distance to an ignition source and flash back. Maintain vapour levels below

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Hazard Moderate toxicity - irritant. This product has the potential to cause adverse health effects. Use safe work practices to
avoid eye or skin contact and vapour inhalation. Skin sensitisation may result with exposure to epoxy resins. Chronic
Summary
exposure to organic solvents may result in liver, kidney and CNS damage.
Eye Irritant. Exposure may result in lacrimation, irritation, pain and redness.
Inhalation Irritant - narcotic. Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, nausea and vomiting. At high levels
dizziness, breathing difficulties, pulmonary oedema and in some cases unconsciousness. Chronic exposure may
result in anaemia, liver, kidney and nerve damage.
Skin Irritant. Contact may result in skin rash, dermatitis and sensitisation, which is common with exposure to epoxy resins.
Toxic effects reported through absorption.
Ingestion Moderate toxicity. Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fatigue, dizziness,
drowsiness and unconsciousness with large doses. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary
oedema.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environment If aromatic hydrocarbons are released to soil, they will evaporate from near-surface soil & leach to groundwater.
Biodegradation occurs in soil & groundwater but may be slow, especially at high concentrations, which can be toxic
to microorganisms. Will exist largely as vapour in air. Half life in atmosphere depends on particular hydrocarbon (eg
1-2 days (xylene); 3 hrs-1 day (toluene)).
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Mix parts A + B together (small amounts), absorb with sand, vermiculite or similar and dispose of to an approved
landfill site. Ensure protective equipment is worn when mixing. Do not seal containers/tins until reaction is complete.
Disposal
Contact the manufacturer for additional information. Prevent contamination of drains or waterways as environmental
damage may result.
Legislation Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation.

16. OTHER INFORMATION
Additional This product is used in conjunction with Epoxyshield Industrial Floor (Immersion Activator). Please consult the
appropriate Chem Alert report prior to use.
Information
WELDING - SANDING - CUTTING DRIED OR CURED PRODUCT: If sanding, cutting or welding dried or cured
product, adverse health effects may be avoided by the use of appropriate engineering controls and/or personal
protective equipment. If welding, wear a Class P2 (Metal fume) respirator and depending on the nature of the surface
being welded, additional protection (eg. for organic vapours/acid gas) may also be required. A Class P1 (Particulate)
respirator is recommended if dust is generated.
WORK PRACTICES - SOLVENTS: Organic solvents may present both a health and flammability hazard. It is
recommended that engineering controls should be adopted to reduce exposure where practicable (for example, if
using indoors, ensure explosion proof extraction ventilation is available). Flammable or combustible liquids with
explosive limits have the potential for ignition from static discharge. Refer to AS 1020 (The control of undesirable
static electricity) and AS 1940 (The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids) for control
procedures.
EPOXY - PHENOXY RESINS AND POLYURETHANES: Where spray painting with two or more component epoxy
resins or polyurethane paints is undertaken, an employee shall wear a full face air-line respirator, full length
chemically resistant coveralls and gloves. Further, if an individual is to enter an enclosed booth where a vapour or
gas curing process is occurring, an air-line respirator is required. Once cured, these resins are considered non toxic.
COLOUR RATING SYSTEM: Chem Alert reports are assigned a colour rating of Green, Amber or Red for the
purpose of providing users with a quick and easy means of determining the hazardous nature of a product. Safe
handling recommendations are provided in all Chem Alert reports so as to clearly identify how users can control the
hazards and thereby reduce the risk (or likelihood) of adverse effects. As a general guideline a Green colour rating
indicates a low hazard, an Amber colour rating indicates a moderate hazard and a Red colour rating indicates a high
hazard.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES:
The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this Chem Alert report is provided as a guide only.
Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the
availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is
made.
HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:
It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequency
and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of
application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a Chem Alert report which would encompass all possible
scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.
ABBREVIATIONS:
mg/m3 - Milligrams per cubic metre
ppm - Parts Per Million
TWA/ES - Time Weighted Average or Exposure Standard.
CNS - Central Nervous System
NOS - Not Otherwise Specified
pH - relates to hydrogen ion concentration - this value will relate to a scale of 0 - 14, where 0 is highly acidic and 14
is highly alkaline.
CAS# - Chemical Abstract Service number - used to uniquely identify chemical compounds.
M - moles per litre, a unit of concentration.

Report Status Chem Alert reports are compiled as an independent source of information by RMT's scientific department. The
information is based on the latest chemical and toxicological research, and in compliance with relevant standards,
guidance notes and legislation (where applicable). The Chem Alert report is not intended as a replacement to the
manufacturer's original MSDS that is provided to Chem Alert subscribers for convenience. In many instances, Chem
Alert reports are compiled on behalf of manufacturers, in which case they serve as the "Manufacturer's MSDS" and
