SECTION 3: HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry:
Inhalation: YES Skin: YES Ingestion: Accidental

the lungs. Repeated skin exposure can cause dryness, cracking of skin and rash.
Carcinogenicity: NTP: See Note
IARC Monographs: See Note
OSHA Regulated: See Note
DOCUMENT NO.: 14077 805-FRM011
QA-600 Adhesive (Part A) MSDS # MGM083C
NOTE: This product contains trace residual quantities of Epichlorohydrin (ECH). It is very unlikely that normal work
practices with this product could result in measurable ECH concentrations in the workplace atmosphere. However,
you should be aware that ECH has been reported to produce cancer in laboratory animals, and to produce
mutagenic changes in bacteria and cultured human cells. It has been classified by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) as a probable human carcinogen (IARC Group 2A) based on the following
conclusions: Human evidence ?inadequate; animal evidence ?sufficient. ECH has been classified as an
anticipated human carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). The National Toxicology Program has
determined that there is clear evidence for the carcinogenicity of glycidol in experimental animals. In the two year
studies, rats and mice were administered < or equal to 75 mg/kg and < or equal to 50 mg/kg, respectively by oral
gavage. Glycidol is an impurity in this material.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
INHALATION: Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath.
Tetrahydrofuran is an anesthetic agent in high concentrations. Overexposure may cause dizziness, headache,
nausea and possible fluid in the lungs. May cause liver, kidney or lung injury.
EYE CONTACT: Causes irritation, redness, and pain. Contact may cause permanent eye damage.
SKIN CONTACT: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain.
INGESTION: Causes irritation to gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
May cause sore throat and abdominal pain. May cause liver or kidney injury.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye
problems or impaired liver or kidney function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
SECTION 4: EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
EYE CONTACT: In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
holding eyelids open. Get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated
clothing. Wash affected area with soap and water. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Get medical
attention.
INGESTION: Call a physician. If swallowed, induce vomiting only as directed by a physician. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs.

SECTION 5: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point (Method Used): 7癋 (-14癈) CC (For Tetrahydrofuran)
Autoignition Temperature: 610癋 (321癈) (For Tetrahydrofuran)
Flammable limits: LEL: 20. UEL: 11.8 (For Tetrahydrofuran)
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to keep fire-exposed containers
cool.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode. Water may be used to flush spills away
from exposures and to dilute spills to non-flammable mixtures.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors may flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back.
Closed containers exposed to heat may explode. May form explosive organic peroxides when exposed to air or
light or with age.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled: Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area. Wear
self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Shut off ignition sources; no flares, smoking or
flames in area. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Keep out of storm drains, surface waters and soil. Use
water spray to reduce vapors. Take up with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into
container for later disposal. Flush area with water.
SECTION 7: EXPOSURE CONTROLS -- PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face organic vapor respirator may be worn for up
to 10 times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or
respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-facepiece organic vapor respirator may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-
facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Ventilation: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposure below the
Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of
the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of contaminant into the general work area.
Protective Gloves: Rubber or neoprene gloves are recommended.
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles and/or a full faceshield where splashing is possible is recommended.

Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Impervious over-clothing as needed to prevent skin contact. Safety
shower and eye wash station in local area.
Work / Hygienic Practices: Wash thoroughly after using and before eating, drinking or smoking.
SECTION 8: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Keep containers tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-
ventilated, flammable liquid storage area. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Keep away
from open flames and spark producing equipment. Keep product out of light.
Other Precautions: Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Bond and ground containers when
transferring liquid. Use caution when opening cap. Avoid prolonged exposure to vapors and skin contact. Avoid
breathing vapors.
