3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
****Emergency Overview****
Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors, dust or mist. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact of large amounts of spilled material. Keep runoff out of soil and
surface waterways.
EC Classification(s): C-Corrosive, N-Harmful to the Environment
Risk Phrases: R20/21: Harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed
R34: Causes Burns.
R43: May cause sensitization by skin contact
R52/53: Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment
(See Section 15-REGULATORY INFORMATION for complete risk phrases.)
Potential Acute Health Effects
Eyes
Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant, corrosive). Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering and
itching. Exposure of the eyes to amine vapors may produce a temporary and reversible hazing or blurring of vision.
Symptoms disappear soon after exposure is terminated.
Respiratory
Vapors produced though handling of this material in it's uncured state may cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat or other
mucous membranes. Maintain adequate local exhaust or wear adequate personal protective equipment. Processing of cured
materials may produce harmful and/or irritating dusts. Use of local exhaust and or dust/vapor respirators is recommended.
Skin
Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive). Skin contact may produce burns.

Page 2 of 6 Revision Date:9/14/05
Potential Chronic Health Effects
Respiratory
Repeated inhalation of vapors may cause lung damage. Provide appropriate ventilation to maintain exposures below
occupational limits. Use of a dust mask or other filtering respirator is recommended where local ventilation is not adequate.
See section 8-EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION for exposure limits and recommended protective
equipment. See section 11-TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION for further information.
Skin
Repeated skin contact may cause a persistent irritation or dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged exposure may aggravate existing
dermatitis (skin contact). Overexposure to vapor, dust, or mist may aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma,
bronchitis, and inflammatory or fibrotic respiratory disease.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
***Never give fluids or induce vomiting if patient is unconscious or is having convulsions.***
Inhalation
Move effected persons to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Skin Contact
Immediate, continued and thorough washing in flowing water for at least 30 minutes is imperative while removing contaminated
clothing. Prompt medical consultation is essential. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated leather items.
Eye Contact
Wash immediately and continuously with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Remove contact lenses after the first 5 minutes
and continue washing. Obtain prompt medical consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Give one glass (ca. 2.5 dL) of water or milk if available and transport to medical facility. Do not
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note to Physician
Due to irritant properties, swallowing may result in burns/ulceration of mouth, stomach and lower gastrointestinal tract with
subsequent stricture. Aspiration of vomitus may cause lung injury. Suggest endotracheal/esophageal control if lavage is done.
If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be
directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
5. FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS
Extinguishing Media
Water fog or fine spray. Carbon dioxide. Alcohol resistant foam. Dry chemical fire extinguishers.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide.
Protection of Firefighters
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet,
coat, trousers, boots and gloves.)
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions
Wear adequate personal protective equipment, see Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.
Methods of Cleaning Up
Large spills: Contain with dike. Pump into suitable and properly labeled containers.
Small spills: Dilute with water and recover or use non-combustible absorbent material/sand and shovel into appropriate
containers.
Neutralize residues with a dilute solution of acetic acid.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Keep container dry. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/dust/spray/dust. If ingested, seek medical advice
immediately and show the container, label or this document. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Storage
Store under nitrogen blanket for maximum shelf life. Product should not come in contact with copper or copper-bearing alloys.
Storage Temperature and Shelf Life
Store between 10篊 and 27篊 for maximum shelf life

Engineering Controls
Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for operations
involving machining of dry or cured material.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection
For use of this material in it's uncured state, no respiratory protection should be needed with use of adequate local exhaust,
however, if handling at elevated temperatures or without sufficient ventilation, use of an approved air-purifying or supplied air
respirator is recommended. Use a CE approved air-purifying respirator with cartridge/filter for: Organic vapors, type A
(boiling point >65 deg.C).
Special Respiratory Concerns
Take care when grinding, sanding, or machining cured material as these operations may liberate harmful/irritating dust. Provide
appropriate ventilation to maintain exposures below occupational limits. Use of a dust mask or other filtering respirator is
recommended where local ventilation is not adequate
Skin Protection
Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as face shield, gloves, boots,
apron, or full body suit will depend on operation. Safety shower should be located in immediate work area. Remove
contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder clothing before reuse or dispose of
properly. Items which cannot be decontaminated, such as shoes, belts and watchbands, should be removed and disposed of
properly.
Hand protection
Use chemical resistant gloves classified under standard EN 374: Protective gloves against chemicals and microorganisms.
Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include:
-Chlorinated polyethylene.
-Polyethylene.
-Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL").
Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include:
-Butyl rubber.
-Natural rubber ("latex").
-Neoprene.
-Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("Nitrile" or "NBR").
-Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA").
-Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl").
-Viton.
When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than
240 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher
(breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended.
NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account
all requisite workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture
protection, dexterity, thermal protection), as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
- Eye/Face Protection
Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area. Use chemical goggles. A full-face shield and vapor respirator is
recommended for operations involving spraying or other operations placing this material under pressurized conditions.
