Inhalation: YES Skin: YES Ingestion: Accidental
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): May cause irritation. Long-term skin exposure may cause burns.
DOCUMENT NO.: 14039 805-FRM011
M-Bond AE Resin MSDS # MGM014M
Carcinogenicity: NTP: Not listed*
IARC Monographs: Not listed*
OSHA Regulated: Not listed
*This product contains trace (5 ppm) residual quantities of Epichlorohydrin (ECH), CAS #106-89-8. ECH has been
reported to produce cancer in laboratory animals and to produce mutagenic changes in bacteria and cultured
human cells. It has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible
human carcinogen (IARC Group 2A) based on the following conclusions: Human evidence - Inadequate; Animal
Evidence - Sufficient. It has been classified as an anticipated human carcinogen by the National Toxicology
Program (NTP).
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
INHALATION: May cause irritation to the nose, throat and respiratory tract. May cause central nervous system
depression.
EYE CONTACT: May cause irritation, burning sensation, and reddening of the eye. May cause moderate to
severe irritation with possibility of permanent damage if left untreated.
SKIN CONTACT: May be slightly corrosive to the skin. Repeated exposure may cause skin irritation and possible
allergic reaction.
INGESTION: No hazard anticipated from ingestion incidental to industrial exposure. However, this product
contains 3.0% Resorcinol (m-Dihydroxybenzene). Resorcinol, in its pure form, is considered to be Toxic by
ingestion and may be a poison to both blood and nerves. Ingestion of Resorcinol may cause gastrointestinal upset
and other symptoms and effects such as sweating, weakness, headache, dizziness, cyanosis, spleen, liver and
kidney damage, cardiovascular damage, and possibly convulsions and death.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Allergic skin reaction and dermatitis in sensitive
individuals.
SECTION 4: EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if
breathing has stopped. Get medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Consult
physician or ophthalmologist if irritation persists.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush skin with water while removing contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap and
water and flush with clean water. Do not reuse clothing. Leather articles, including shoes, cannot be
decontaminated and should be destroyed to prevent reuse. Consult physician.

INGESTION: Give large amounts of water or milk. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a
physician. Transport to a medical facility.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote. Provide supportive care. Treatment should be based on the
judgement of the physician in response to reactions of the patient.
SECTION 5: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point (Method Used): 200癋 (93癈) PMCC (Based on flashpoint for PGE)
Flammable limits: LEL: Unknown UEL: Unknown
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam.
Special Firefighting Procedures: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-
contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure
mode.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected area until
fire is out and danger of re-ignition is passed. Sealed containers may rupture when heated.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled: Soak up in absorbent material such as sand and collect in
suitable containers. Residual resin may be removed using steam or hot soapy water. Solvents are not
recommended for clean up. Keep spark producing equipment away. For large spills, evacuate upwind of spills and
contain with dike.
SECTION 7: EXPOSURE CONTROLS -- PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: If exposure exceeds occupational exposure limits, use a NIOSH-approved respirator. A
system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the airborne exposure
limit.
Ventilation:
Local Exhaust: Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emission
at the source.
Mechanical: Keep below TLV.
Special: N/A
Other: N/A
Protective Gloves: Neoprene or polyethylene gloves recommended.

Eye Protection: Chemical safety glasses recommended.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Neoprene or polyethylene apron as needed to prevent skin contact.
Safety shower and eye wash station should be available for emergency use.
Work / Hygienic Practices: Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
SECTION 8: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Store below 80癋 (27癈) in a dry place. Keep away from
open flames and high temperatures. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors and skin and eye contact.
Other Precautions: Keep containers tightly capped.
SECTION 9: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Boiling Point: N/A
Vapor Pressure (mmHg): 1 @ 226癋 (118癈)
Vapor Density (Air = 1): >3.8
Specific Gravity (H2O = 1): 1.15
Melting Point: N/A
Evaporation Rate (BuAc = 1): N/A
Volatile Organic Compounds: None
Solubility in Water: Negligible
Appearance and Odor: Amber to clear liquid; faint epoxy odor
SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
Conditions to Avoid: Excess heating over a period of time degrades the resin.
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Strong oxidizing agents, strong Lewis or mineral acids, and strong mineral
and organic bases, especially primary and secondary aliphatic amines.
Hazardous Decomposition or By-products: The by-products expected in incomplete pyrolysis or combustion of
epoxy resins are mainly phenolics, carbon monoxide and water. The thermal decomposition products of epoxy
resins therefore should be treated as potentially hazardous substances, and appropriate precautions should be
taken.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur under normal temperature and pressure.
