SECTION 3 HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
*** EMERGENCY OVERVIEW***: Clear to red/ purple liquid, with solvent odour. Flammable
liquid and vapour. Supplied with a hardener in a small bottle which has flammable liquid and
vapour. Hardener contains isocyanates. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Vapour harmful
may affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Causes skin and
eye irritation. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
FFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
E
Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation.
Skin Contact: May cause skin sensitisation. May cause dermatitis. Causes skin irritation.
Inhalation: Possible irritation of the respiratory system can occur causing a variety of symptoms
such as dryness of the throat, tightness of the chest, and shortness of breath. May cause central
nervous system depression characterised by the following progressive steps: headache, dizziness,
staggering gait, confusion, unconsciousness or coma. Exposure to methylene chloride may cause
dry, sore throat itching and burning of the nose nasal congestion cough chest tightness and
wheezing. May cause respiratory sensisation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion is not an expected route of entry in industrial or
commercial uses.
Chronic Hazards: Repeated or prolonged solvent overexposure may result in permanent central
nervous system damage. Chronic skin contact may cause dermatitis.
RIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Skin contact, inhalation, ingestion, eye contact.
P
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID
Eye Contact: Flush eyes immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes holding
eyelids open while flushing. Get prompt medical attention.
Skin Contact: Flush contaminated skin with large amounts of water while removing contaminated
clothing. Wash affected skin areas with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Restore and support continued breathing. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give victim one or two glasses of water or milk.
Call a physician or poison control centre immediately for further instructions. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person.

NUSUAL FIRE HAZARDS: Resin and Hardener contain flammable liquid
and Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks,
open flame other sources of
extreme heat. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.
S nozzles are preferable. During a fire, irritating and/or toxic gases and particulate including
PECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear full firefighting protective clothing,
selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Water spray may be ineffective. If water is used,
fog may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: vapours. Use self Keep nonessential
personnel a safe distance away from the spill area. Remove all sources of ignition (flame, hot
surfaces, and electrical, static or frictional sparks. Avoid breathing
contained breathing equipment. Notify appropriate authorities if necessary. Contain and remove
with inert absorbent material. Avoid contact. Before attempting cleanup, refer to hazard caution
information in other sections of the MSDS form. Do not empty into drains.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
ANDLING: Keep closure tight and container upright to prevent leakage. Protect hardener from
H
moisture. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Avoid skin and eye contact.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing of vapour or spray mists. Do not handle until
all safety precautions have been read and understood. Empty containers should not be reused.
Use with adequate ventilation. Because empty containers may retain product residue and
flammable vapours, keep away from heat, sparks and flame do not cut, puncture or weld on or
near empty container. Do not smoke where this product is used or stored.
TORAGE: Do not store or use near heat, sparks, or open flame. Refer to OSHA 20CFR Part
S
1910.106 "Flammable and Combustible Liquids" for specific storage requirements. Store only
in wellventilated areas. Do not puncture, drag or slide container. Keep container closed when
not in use.
SECTION 8 ?EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
NGINEERING CONTROLS: Sufficient ventilation in pattern and volume should be provided in
E
order to maintain air contaminant levels below recommended exposure limits. Caution: Solvent
vapours are heavier than air and collect in lower levels of the work area. Sufficient ventilation
(using explosionproof equipment) should be provided to prevent flammable vapourair mixtures
from accumulating.
ESPIRATORY PROTECTION : Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved chemical/mechanical filter
R
respirator designed to remove a combination of particulates and organic vapour if occupational
limits are exceeded. For emergency situations, confined space use, or other conditions where
exposure limits may be greatly exceeded, use an approved airsupplied respirator. Observe OSHA
regulations (29CFR 1910.134) for respirator use.
KIN PROTECTION : Use neoprene, nitrile, or rubber gloves to prevent skin contact.
S
E PROTECTION : Use safety eyewear including safety glasses with side shields and
YE
chemical goggles where splashing may occur.
O PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT : Use disposable or impervious clothing if work clothing
THER
contamination is likely. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES : Wash hands thoroughly before eating, smoking or using toilet facility.
Do not smoke in any chemical handling or storage area. Food or beverages should not be
consumed anywhere this product is handled or stored. Wash thoroughly after handling.
