HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Symptoms of Exposure: Acute and Chronic Effects
Ingestion
Strong burning sensation, possibly vomiting. Can result in irritation of the gastrointestinal tract
and mucous membranes. Considered as an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial
environments.
Eye Contact
The amine hardener component may be severely irritating to the eyes and may burn eye tissue.
High concentrations of vapour may cause irritation.
Skin Contact
Liquid may be irritating to the skin and may be capable of causing allergic skin reactions.
Repeated or prolonged contact may lead to rashes and dermatitic effects and may cause
sensitisation in some individuals.

Inhalation
The vapour is mildly irritating to the mucous membranes and respiratory tract. The vapour
pressure from these products is very low at ambient temperatures and is unlikely to cause
exposure hazard from normal handling. Frequent or prolonged exposure can cause respiratory
irritation and may cause sensitisation in some individuals. Overexposure symptoms include
headache, swelling and congestion of the eyes and sinuses.
Systemic and other effects
The ingredients may cause adverse effects including sensitisation. Symptoms include itching,
rash and respiratory congestion.
FIRST AID
Ingestion
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious give water or milk to rinse out mouth and drink.
Provide liquid slowly but as much as casualty will drink. Transport to hospital or doctor without
delay. Activated charcoal may be helpful.
Eye Contact
Immediately hold the eyes open and irrigate eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes.
Ensure irrigation under eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Transport to the
doctor or hospital without delay. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be
undertaken by skilled personnel.
Skin Contact
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing including footwear. Wash affected areas
thoroughly with detergent hand cleaner and rinse with plenty of water. Seek medical attention in
event of irritation.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air, lie patient down, keep warm and rested. If breathing is shallow or has
stopped, ensure clear airway and apply resuscitation. Administer oxygen. Transport to hospital
or doctor.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.

PERSONAL PROTECTION AND HANDLING
Protective Equipment
Eyes: Goggles or face shield
Hands/Feet: Rubber Gloves, full overalls, safety shoes
Respiratory: Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear organic vapour respirator or self
contained breathing apparatus in enclosed areas.
Remove and wash all contaminated clothing and equipment.
Handling Procedures
Handle in well ventilated area. Always observe conditions of good industrial hygiene and safe
working practice.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Stability
Stable for minimum 2 years at room temperature. Excess heating over long periods will degrade
ingredients.
Flammability
Products will support combustion if heated but will not spontaneously ignite or explode.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
On burning will emit toxic fumes of oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerisation
Will not occur in absence of contact with reactive elements or unless the separately packed
components are mixed in larger quantities. This will cause irreversible polymerisation with
considerable heat build up.
Incompatibility
Avoid contact with water, strong acids, alkalis, oxidising materials.
Fire Fighting
Toxic fumes will be evolved when these materials are involved in a fire. Fire fighters must wear
full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Extinguishing Media
Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder.
