Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear protective equipment including NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Isolate from heat, sparks, electrical equipment
and open flame.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
During a fire, vapors may form an explosive mixture in air. Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat. Solvent vapors
may be heavier than air. Vapors may build up and travel along the ground to an ignition source which may result in a flash back to the source
of the vapors. Cool fire exposed containers with water. Heavy build up on filters, rags, etc. Can trap solvents and result in spontaneous
combustion.

SECTION 5: HEALTH HAZARD DATA XIM XEA/XEB Epoxy Primer #2201& 2202
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Skin Contact, Eye Contact from Liquid and vapors, Ingestion.
Effects of Overexposure:
Inhalation - ACUTE: Inhalation can cause irritation of the nose, throat and eyes: Asthma-like breathing may be a delayed reaction. Other
possible symptoms of overexposure may include headache, nausea, narcosis, fatigue and loss of appetite.
Inhalation - CHRONIC: Chronic exposure to solvents has been associated with various neurotoxic effects including permanent brain and
nervous system damage. Symptoms include loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.
Eye Contact: Liquid and vapors are irritating to the eyes and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and swelling. If left untreated, corneal
damage can occur and injury is slow to heal. However, damage is usually reversible.
Skin Contact: Repeated or prolonged skin contact can result in dry, defatted and cracked skin causing increased susceptibility to infection.
Ingestion: Ingestion can result in irritation in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract. Symptoms can include sore throat, abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Vomiting may cause aspiration resulting in chemical pneumonitis.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Asthma, other respiratory disorders (bronchitis, etc.), skin allergies,
eczema.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Eyes: Flush eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Obtain medical attention if irritation
develops or persists.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Consult a physician immediately.
SECTION: 6: REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: This material is stable. Materials to avoid: Strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Decomposition Products: By high heat and fire: CO2, CO and other toxic vapors and mist.
SECTION 7: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND SPILL/LEAK PROCEDURES
Precautions for handling and storage: Keep from fire, sparks and open flame. Do not smoke. Keep container tightly closed. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
Other precautions: Remove sources of ignition. Provide explosion proof ventilation and/or respiratory protection. Use non-sparking tools.
Steps to take in case of spills: Pick up large spills with non-sparking tools; small spills with absorbent material. Wash down area with liquid
decontaminant and flush spill area with water.
Waste Disposal Method: If discarded this material and containers should be treated as a hazardous waste, based on the
Characteristics of Ignitability as defined under Federal RCRA Regulations (40 CFR 261). Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and
federal regulations. DO NOT INCINERATE IN CLOSED CONTAINERS.
For further information, contact the United States Environmental Protection Agency RCRA hotline (800) 242-9342.
SECTION 8: SPECIAL PROTECTION/SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
Special Sensitivity: Avoid exposing the container to high heat. This can cause sealed containers to pressurize and possibly rupture.
Handling and Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Ground the container during storage and transfer operations. When
storing, tightly close containers to prevent moisture contamination. Do not reseal if contamination is suspected. Do not breathe vapors.
Employee education and training in safe handling of this product are required under OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.
Respiratory Protection: Use air-purifying respirator that the respirator supplier has demonstrated to be effective for solvent vapors. Where
overspray is present, or if the concentration of solvents is not known or exceeds the level at which the air purifying respirator is effective, a
positive pressure air-supplied respirator (TC19C NIOSH/MSHA) is recommended.
Ventilation: Design and maintain to provide volume and pattern to prevent vapor concentration in excess of TLV or PEL
Protective Gloves: Neoprene or Rubber gloves Eye Protection: Goggles or side-shield glasses
