2.2 Potential Health Effects
Immediate Hazards
INGESTION: Not expected to be harmful under normal conditions of use.
INHALATION: Not expected to be harmful under normal conditions of use. However,
overexposure may cause central nervous system effects. Also, if
allowed to become airborne, may cause irritation of nose, throat and
lungs.
SKIN: May cause irritation on prolonged or repeated contact.
EYES: Causes chemical burns.
64-17-5 Ethanol
Can cause central nervous system depression. Signs and symptoms may include headache,
dizziness, nausea, vomiting and drowsiness.
108-95-2 Phenol
Can cause central nervous system effects. Signs and symptoms may include headache,
dizziness, nausea, vomiting, motor difficulties and unconsciousness.
108-46-3 Resorcinol
This chemical is slightly to moderately toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Signs
of acute poisoning in rats include central nervous system stimulation, tremors and convulsions
followed by depression and death, or complete recovery within 8-24 hours. Animal studies
have further indicated that high acute doses have caused reversible damage to the thyroid as
well as damage to the blood, spleen, liver, kidney and lungs. Since it is rapidly absorbed and
rapidly eliminated from the body, there are no identified chronic or cumulative adverse effects.
Delayed Hazards
64-17-5 Ethanol
Ingestion may cause liver damage.
-- See Footnote at end of section
108-95-2 Phenol
Can cause liver and kidney damage. Signs and symptoms of chronic poisoning may include
vomiting, difficulty in swallowing, diarrhea, lack of appetite, jaundice, fatigue, bleeding or easy
bruising and sometimes pain and swelling in the upper right abdomen, changes in urine output
or dark urine, pain upon urination or in the lower back, or general edema. Can also cause
cardiac damage evidenced by shortness of breath and in severe cases cardiac arrest.
Preexisting medical conditions of the heart, kidney, liver, lung, eyes and skin may be
aggravated by exposure.
-- See Footnote at end of section
Footnote: As of the date of issuance of this document, this material has not been listed by NTP, classified by IARC nor
regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.

Any applicable Canadian trade secret numbers will be listed in Section 15.2.
4. First Aid Measures
INGESTION: If accidentally swallowed, dilute by drinking large quantities of water. If
the individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth.
Immediately contact poison control center or hospital emergency room
for advice on whether to induce vomiting or for any other additional
treatment directions.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air.
SKIN: In case of irritation, flush with water.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Eyelids should be held apart during irrigation to ensure water contact
with entire surface of eyes and lids. Call a physician.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water spray, dry chemical, foam or CO2.
Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. Keep away from heat and flame.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Eliminate all ignition sources. Contain and/or absorb spill with inert material (e.g. sand,
vermiculite), then place in a suitable container. For large spills, use water spray to disperse
vapors and flush spill area. Prevent runoff from entering waterways or sewers. Use
appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
7. Handling and Storage
7.1 Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices
include avoiding unnecessary exposure and removal of the material from eyes, skin and
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Always use appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE).
INHALATION: Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor.
SKIN: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin and clothing.
EYES: Do not get in eyes.

7.2 Storage
Keep container closed.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Not harmed by freezing. If frozen, resin should be thawed slowly at room temperature and
agitated thoroughly before use.
Storage life is 9 months at 70?less at higher temperatures.

8.2 Exposure Controls
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The following exposure control techniques may be used to
effectively minimize employee exposure: local exhaust ventilation, enclosed system design,
process isolation and remote control in combination with appropriate use of personal
protective equipment and prudent work practices. These techniques may not necessarily
address all issues pertaining to your operations. We, therefore, recommend that you consult
with experts of your choice to determine whether or not your programs are adequate.
If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or handled, sufficient
ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should be provided to keep air contaminant
concentration levels below acceptable criteria.
8.3 Personal Protection
Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH (42 CFR Part 84)
approved respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be selected based on the form
and concentration of contaminants in air in accordance with OSHA laws and regulations or
other applicable standards or guidelines, including ANSI standards regarding respiratory
protection. Use goggles if contact is likely. Wear impervious gloves as required to prevent skin
contact.
