Section V - Exposure and Effects
Exposure Effects:
Inhalation: Do not breathe vapors directly. Concentrated fumes in poorly ventilated areas may cause
mild dizziness and / or slight nausea.
Skin Contact: May be irritating. May cause skin sensitization effect.
Eye Contact: May be irritating.
Ingestion: May cause irritation to the mouth, stomach tissue and gastro-intestinal tract.
Health Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Chronic respiratory conditions, skin disorders and allergies, and eye disease.
First Aid:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Consult a physician if discomfort persists.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash contaminated areas
thoroughly with soap and water and rinse with water. Do not use any solvent.
Consult a physician if irritation and / or sensitization persists.
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water immediately for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Consult a physician if irritation persists.
Ingestion: Consult a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If swallowed,
drink plenty of milk or water.
Section VI - Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases and strong oxidizing agents.
By thermal decomposition (CO, CO2, acids, vapors and other flammable
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
gases, etc.).

Other Conditions to Avoid: Extremes of temperature, sunlight and UV-rays.
Section VII - Spill, Leak or Disposal Procedures
Steps to be Taken in the Event of Spills, Leaks or Release:
Avoid contact with the material. Wear suitable protective clothing. Contain spill and do not allow material to empty into drains and water
courses. If material has entered a water course, lake or sewer, or has contaminated soil or vegetation, advise the local authorities.
Waste Disposal Method:
Collect and place in a sealed drum or other suitable closed container. If components are mixed, allow to solidify.
Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local Environmental Regulations
Section VIII - Special Protective Measures
Ventilation: Provide good ventilation of the work area. Mechanical or natural exhaust is
recommended.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses, goggles or face shield meeting ANSI requirements,
particularly when using material overhead.
Hearing Protection: Not applicable.
Skin Protection: Wear protective rubber or plastic gloves and other appropriate protection.
Respiratory Protection: None required when good ventilation is provided.
Section IX - Special Precautions
Storage: Store in cool and dry conditions away from sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. Keep
in original packaging at temperatures between 40o and 80o F. (5o and 25o C.).
Above 104?F. (40?C.), peroxide decomposes to create free radicals + CO2, then
hardener tube is under pressure and piston may be removed. Above 140?F. (60?C.),
polymerization of resin may occur.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local Environmental Regulations.
