See Section VIII for Occupational Exposure Guidelines
SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
WHMIS CLASS/DESCRIPTION: Class D2B Other Toxic Effects - Irritant/Skin Sensitizer
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Viscous liquid, light yellow
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Exposure will most likely occur through skin contact or accidental ingestion. Based on the
low volatility, this product is not considered to be a respiratory hazard under normal conditions of use.
HEALTH HAZARDS: May produce an allergic reaction on contact with skin. Thermal burns may result from contact
with hot material. Irritating to skin. Irritating to eyes. May be irritating to respiratory passages. Contact with product
at elevated temperatures can result in thermal burns to the eye. Contact with product at elevated temperatures can
result in thermal burns to the skin.
HANDLING INFORMATION: Avoid exposure to high temperatures and all sources of ignition. Wear suitable gloves
and eye protection. Minimize skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. Empty containers contain hazardous
product residues which can create health hazards.
SECTION IV - FIRST AID
EYES: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain
medical attention. For hot products, flush with large amounts of cool water continuously.
SKIN: Flush affected skin with gently flowing lukewarm water for at least 20 minutes and remove contaminated
clothing while rinsing. Wash contaminated skin with mild soap and water for 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and
persists, obtain medical attention. If thermal burns occur, flush skin immediately with large volumes of cool water for
15 minutes. Carefully remove clothing. If clothing is stuck to a burn area, do not pull off but cut around it. Cover
burn area with a clean cloth. Obtain medical attention immediately.
INGESTION: DO NOT induce vomiting. In general, no treatment is necessary unless large quantities are ingested.
INHALATION: Remove victim from further exposure and restore breathing, if required. Obtain medical attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: In general, emesis induction is unnecessary.

SECTION V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT (Method): 480?F/249?C (Pensky-Martens Closed Cup)
LOWER FLAMMABILITY LIMIT: Not available.
UPPER FLAMMABILITY LIMIT: Not available.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not available.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.
FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Avoid inhalation of smoke. Do not enter confined fire space without adequate
protective clothing and an approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Use water to cool fire-
exposed containers. Material will not burn unless preheated.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and unidentified organic
compounds may be formed upon combustion. Reaction with some curing agents may produce considerable heat,
which could char the reaction mass and produce flames and vapors of unknown composition.
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PRECAUTIONS: May burn although not readily ignitable. Isolate hazard area and restrict access. Try to work upwind
of spill. Avoid direct contact with material. Wear appropriate breathing apparatus (if applicable) and clothing.
SPILL MANAGEMENT: Use cautious judgement when cleaning up large spills. Shut off source of leak if safe to do
so. Dike and contain land spills; contain water spills by booming. Use water fog to knock down vapors; contain
runoff. For large spills, remove by mechanical means and place in containers. Absorb residue or small spills
with an absorbent material and remove to nonleaking containers for disposal. Recommended materials: Clay
or sand. Flush area with water to remove trace residue. Dispose of recovered material as noted under Disposal
Considerations. Notify appropriate environmental agency(ies).
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Do not pressurize drum containers to empty them. This material is a sensitizer. Caution, irritant. Avoid
all direct contact with this material. Empty containers may contain hazardous product residues. Wash with soap and
water before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing
before reuse. Contaminated leather articles including shoes cannot be decontaminated and should be destroyed
to prevent reuse. Avoid inhalation of vapors, mists or aerosols which are produced when product is handled at
elevated temperatures or mechanically generated into the air. Heating this resin above 150?C in the presence of
air may cause slow oxidative decomposition. Above 260?C, polymerization may occur. Some curing agents in the
presence of air may cause thermal and oxidative decomposition with some epoxy resins. It may produce exothermic
reactions, which in large masses can cause runaway polymerization and charring of the reactants. Fumes and
vapors from these thermal and chemical decompositions vary widely in composition and toxicity. If this resin is
handled, shipped, or stored in bulk, the recommended pumping temperature is 80?C. To prevent thermal burns,
avoid skin and eye contact with hot liquid.
STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources.
SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTIONS
The following information, while appropriate for the product, is general in nature. The selection of personal protective
equipment will vary depending on the conditions of use.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS:
Occupational Exposure Limits: North American exposure limits have not been established for this product.
Consult local authorities for acceptable provincial values.
Mechanical Ventilation: Mechanical ventilation is recommended for all indoor situations to control fugitive
emissions. Make up air should always be supplied to balance air exhausted (either generally or locally). Local
ventilation is recommended at the source of contaminant generation.

SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTIONS, cont.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield to protect eyes and face, if product is handled
such that it could be splashed into eyes.
Skin Protection: Avoid contact with skin. Wear chemical-resistant gloves. Wear protective clothing. In confined
areas where the risk of skin exposure is much higher, impervious clothing should be worn.
Respiratory Protection: Not normally required under intended conditions of use.

mineral and organic bases, especially primary and secondary amines.
CONDITIONS OF REACTIVITY: In reactions with many curing agents, considerable heat is released.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: When heated to decomposition, it may emit toxic fumes. Heating
this resin above 149?C/330?F in the presence of air may cause oxidative decomposition; above 260?C/500?F,
polymerization may occur.
SECTION XI - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
COMPONENT NAME ACUTE TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
Bisphenol A/Epichlorohydrin Epoxy Resin LD50 Oral Rat = 11400 mg/kg
LD50 Dermal Rabbit >20 mL/kg
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Exposure will most likely occur through skin contact or accidental ingestion. Based on the
low volatility, this product is not considered to be a respiratory hazard under normal conditions of use.
IRRITATION: This product is expected to be a skin sensitizer, as well as irritating to both the skin and eye.
CARCINOGENCITY/MUTANGENICITY: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined
that data does not support classification of DGEBPA as a carcinogen. Similar resins are inactive in in vivo
mutagenicity tests but have shown activity in in vitro microbial mutagenicity tests and have produced chromosomal
aberrations in cultured rat liver cells.
PREEXISTING CONDITIONS: Preexisting eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this
product. Preexisting skin or lung allergies may increase the chance of developing increased allergy symptoms from
exposure to this product.
