| SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION |
|=========================================================================|
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: PROLONGED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE SKIN
IRRITATION AND BURNS. SEVERE SKIN IRRITANT.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: VAPORS AND MISTS MAY BE CORROSIVE TO
THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: INGESTION MAY CAUSE BURNS TO THE
MOUTH, THROAT, AND ESOPHAGUS.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: ALLERGIC REACTIONS MAY OCCUR IN
SOME INDIVIDUALS. PREEXISTING SKIN AND EYE DISORDERS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY
THIS PRODUCT. TETA HAS BEEN FOUND TO PRODUCE KIDNEY AND LIVER DAMAGE AND
BRAIN CONGESTION IN DERMALLY EXPOSED ANIMALS. TETA WAS FOUND TO BE A
DIRECT ACTING MUTAGEN IN THE AMES TEST GIVING POSITIVE RESULTS WITH AND
WITHOUT ACTIVATION. TETA WAS FETOTOXIC AND TERATOGENIC WHEN FED TO RATS AT
0.83% AND 1.67% OF DIET. WHEN APPLIED TO THE SKIN OF PREGNANT GUINEA PIGS
THERE WAS A 90% ABORTION RATE OR DEATH OF FETUS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL
ANOMALIES. THESE EFFECTS ARE BELIEVED TO BE SECONDARY TO COPPER DEFICIENCY
RESULTING FROM THE CHELATING ACTIVITY OF TETA. THE SILICA CONTAINED IN
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT IN A FREE STATE AND WOULD BE A HEALTH CONCERN ONLY IF
GRINDING OR SANDING THE CURED PRODUCT. THE SI02/AL203 BLEND CONTAINED IN
THIS PRODUCT WOULD BE A HEALTH CONCERN ONLY IF SANDING OR GRINDING THE
CURED MATERIAL.
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: SKIN CONTACT SKIN ABSORPTION INHALATION
INGESTION EYE CONTACT
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
FIRST AID - EYE CONTACT: HOLD OPEN EYE LIDS AND FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS
OF FLOWING WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
FIRST AID - SKIN CONTACT: WASH AFFECTED AREAS THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND
WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH THOROUGHLY BEFORE REUSE.
FIRST AID - INHALATION: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF VICTIM IS NOT
BREATHING, ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED BY QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL. SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN MAY BE INDICATED. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
FIRST AID - INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED,CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. NEVER
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GIVE VICTIM PLENTY OF
WATER TO DRINK IF CONSCIOUS.

|=========================================================================|
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: ALCOHOL FOAM CO2 DRY CHEMICAL FOAM WATER FOG
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: MAY PRODUCE TOXIC CARBON MONOXIDE AND
NITROGEN OXIDES UPON COMBUSTION.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: EVACUATE AREA. WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE
BUT MAY BE USED TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS. FIGHT FIRE FROM A SAFE
DISTANCE. WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: DIKE AREA TO
CONTAIN SPILLAGE. ABSORB EXCESS WITH SAND, EARTH, OR VERMICULITE. SCRAPE
UP AND PLACE IN SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. WEAR ALL APPROPRIATE
SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHILE HANDLING SPILLS.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|=========================================================================|
HANDLING: IF BODILY CONTACT OCCURS, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AT ONCE.
AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES AND SKIN. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS. FOR INDUSTRIAL
USE ONLY. WEAR APPROPRIATE SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN HANDLING.
STORAGE: DO NOT STORE NEAR INCOMPATIBLES. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED
WHEN NOT IN USE.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
|=========================================================================|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: GENERAL MECHANICAL VENTILATION MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO
MINIMIZE VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS. LOCAL EXHAUST MAY BE REQUIRED.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: WEAR A PROPERLY FITTED NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED
RESPIRATOR WHEN EXPOSURE TO MISTS OR VAPORS IS LIKELY.
SKIN PROTECTION: IMPERVIOUS RUBBER OR NEOPRENE TYPE. CONSULT GLOVE
MANUFACTURER FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.
EYE PROTECTION: SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS RECOMMENDED AS MINIMUM
PROTECTION. GOGGLES RECOMMENDED FOR INDIVIDUALS MIXING THE RESIN AND
CATALYST.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: CLEAN, FULL BODY COVERING TO MINIMIZE SKIN
CONTACT WITH MATERIAL. AN EYEWASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER IS RECOMMENDED
NEAR WORK AREA.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: SMOKING OR EATING IN THE WORK AREA SHOULD NOT BE
PERMITTED. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING MATERIAL.
