Flammable. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL POISON CONTROL CENTER IF
SWALLOWED! Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. May cause gastrintestinal irritation and central
nervous system effects. Fire may produce irritating and poisonous gases.
Hazards Identification (Pictograms)
3. Hazards Identification
Primary Routes(s) Of Entry
Eye, skin and inhalation.
Eye Hazards
May cause slight irritation. Avoid contact with eyes at all times.
Skin Hazards
Repeated prolonged contact may cause defatting of skin and dermatitis. Contact may cause reddening and
irritation. Skin contact may cause allergic sensitization in certain individuals, with resultant allergic dermatitis.
Ingestion Hazards
May cause vomiting, headache, nausea, dizziness, and unconsciousness. Irritation of mucous membranes likely.
Inhalation Hazards
Inhalation may cause upper respiratory irritation, headache, nausea, dizziness, and unconsciousness in high
concentrations. Vapors and mists may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Symptoms include watering of the eyes,
dryness of throat, coughing, headache, tightness in chest or burning sensation.

3. Hazards Identification - Continued
Inhalation Hazards - Continued
Allergic respiratory or skin reaction may occur in some individuals, especially allergy prone individuals.
Respiratory sensitivity may result in asthma-like symptoms on subsequent exposure. Skin sensitivity results in
allergic dermatitis which may include rash, itching, hives and swelling of extremities.
Conditions Aggravated By Exposure
Asthmatic or individuals prone to allergy may be hypersusceptible to the effects of this product.
First Aid (Pictograms)
4. First Aid Measures
Eye
In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 min. Hold eyelids
open to ensure adequate flushing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterless hand
cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops. High pressure injections are serious medical
emergencies. Launder clothing before reuse.
Ingestion
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF BREATHING LIQUID INTO LUNGS
(APSIRATION). Seek immediate medical attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to reduce
the risk of aspiration. Monitor for breathing difficulty.
CALL YOUR LOCAL POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY FOR ADVICE!
Inhalation
Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, ensure an open airway and administer CPR. If necessary,
provide additional air or oxygen once breathing is restored. Do not administer liquids to an unconscious victim.
Seek medical attention.
Fire Fighting (Pictograms)
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 23 癋 -5 癈
Autoignition Point: 860 癋 460 癈
Flammability Class: IB
Lower Explosive Limit: 2.1
Upper Explosive Limit: 11.5
Fire And Explosion Hazards
Flammable! Keep away from open flame, heat sources and fire. Vapors may form flammable/explosive mixtures
with air in confined areas with poor ventilation. Vapors may flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and
flash back. Do not cut open or apply heat sources to containers. Closed containers may rupture and explode
when exposed to extreme heat.

H2 HARDENER
5. Fire Fighting Measures - Continued
Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam. Avoid use of water except to cool fire-exposed containers.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Always wear fire fighting protective gear and respiratory protection when fighting fires. During a fire highly
irritating and toxic gases and smoke are present from decomposition/combustion products.
6. Accidental Release Measures
1. Remove/extinguish all ignition sources such as open flames.
2. Ventilate area of spill or leak.
3. For small quantities absorb on paper towels or similar material. Allow to evaporate in a safe place such as a fume
hood. Never dispose of with trash since spontaneous combustion may occur!
4. Large quantity: dike area with suitable absorbent such as vermiculite or kitty litter to prevent spread of material. If
available use alcohol type foam to cover spill in order to prevent ignition. Do not allow material to enter confined areas
such as pits or sewers since vapors may form explosive mixture with air. Use more absorbent material to soak up
material and place in drums or other container for disposal. Spilled product must be disposed of as an ignitable
characteristics (EPA) hazardous waste via incineration or other acceptable method.
NOTE: ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SUCH AS ORGANIC VAPOR RESPIRATOR, GLOVES AND EYE
PROTECTION WHEN HANDLING CONTAMINATED MATERIALS!
7. Handling And Storage
Handling And Storage Precautions
Store away from ignition sources. Keep containers closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated,
flammable liquid storage area.
Protective Clothing (Pictograms)
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
If large quantities are used, local exhaust ventilation should be used.
Eye/Face Protection
Use safety glasses, goggles or face shield to prevent accidental eye contact.
Skin Protection
Nitrile or butyl rubber gloves may be used if repeated contact will occur.
Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection should not be necessary under normal conditions of anticipated use in small quantities.
However, such decisions should be made by qualified professionals with knowledge of the working conditions. If
necessary, use a chemical cartridge respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridges for levels up to 1000 ppm
ethyl acetate.
