4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Immediately remove contaminated
clothing.
INGESTION: If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Restore breathing if necessary. Get medical attention. This material can cause lung
damage.
DO NOT LEAVE VICTIM UNATTENDED.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES AND FIRE HAZARDS
OSHA CLASS: III B
FLASH POINT: >200篎 TAG CLOSED CUP
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: Not Applicable
GENERAL HAZARD: May release flammable mixtures when temperatures are at or above the flash point. Toxic gases will
form upon combustion. Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat.
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Respiratory and eye protection required for fire fighting personnel. Full protective
equipment and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should be used in all indoor fires and any large outdoor fires.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke and fumes, hydrocarbon fragments,
nitrogen oxides, amino compounds.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (SPILLS OR LEAKS)
Keep all sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces away from spill. Isolate the danger area and keep unauthorized personnel
out. Stop spill if it can be done with minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective equipment including respirator protection as
conditions warrant (see section 8). Prevent additional discharge of material. Notify the appropriate authorities immediately.
Contain spilled liquid with sand, earth or other non-combustible inert absorbent material. Prevent run off from entering
storm sewers, ditches or waterways. Transfer absorbed waste material into properly identified drums. Treat waste material
with same precautions as the adhesive.
Do not use solvent or flammable liquid to help clean up an accidental release.
Release to the environment may be reportable under environmental regulations

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. Bond and ground all equipment when transferring from one
vessel or container to another. This material can accumulate static charge by flow or agitation. Use spark proof tools and
explosion proof equipment as directed by local fire codes. Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks without following
proper entry procedures as described in OSHA regulations at 29 CFR 1910.146. Do not breathe vapors. The use of
respiratory protection is recommended when airborne concentrations of vapor exceed exposure guidelines. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing
to prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid contact with eyes.
"EMPTY" containers may contain liquid and vapor residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze,
solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and
cause injury or death. "EMPTY" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the
supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in accordance with governmental regulations.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke and fumes, hydrocarbon
fragments, nitrogen oxides, amino compounds.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
STORAGE: Keep containers tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat,
direct sunlight, hot metal surfaces, and all sources of ignition. Post area "No smoking or open flames." Store only in
approved containers. Protect containers against physical damage. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and
appropriate fire codes.
Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities.
Consult NFPA and OSHA codes.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge may be
used under conditions where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure guidelines. Protection provided by
air purifying respirators is limited. Refer to respirator manufacturer's selection guide for appropriate respirator for conditions
encountered. If in doubt, seek the advice of an industrial hygienist or safety professional for appropriate air purifying
respiratory equipment. use positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure
levels are not known, or in any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Respiratory protection does not provide safety from flammable atmospheres. Do not enter concentrations of vapors at, near
or above the Lower Flammable Limit (LFL). When respiratory protection is used, a respiratory protection program meeting
OSHA regulations at 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed.
SKIN PROTECTION: The use of gloves impermeable to the specific material handled is advised to prevent prolonged or
repeated skin contact. Where splashing is likely to occur, aprons impermeable to the specific material may be worn. Refer to
the glove and protective clothing manufacturer's selection guide for appropriate material.
EYE PROTECTION: Approved chemical splash goggles should be worn to safeguard against potential eye contact,
irritation or injury. Where splashing is likely to occur, hard hats and face shields may be used to provide additional
protection. Eye wash facilities should be available in the work area.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide sufficient mechanical ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(S). The use of local
exhaust ventilation is recommended. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. If current ventilation practices are
not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure guidelines, additional ventilation or
exhaust systems may be required.
