INGESTION: ................................................................................... Low acute oral toxicity.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: ............................................. Possible sensitization and subsequent allergic reactions usually seen
as redness and rashes. Repeated exposure is not likely to cause other adverse health effects.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Pre-existing skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. Pre-existing lung and skin allergies may
increase the chance of developing allergic symptoms to this product.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES:
FIRST AID FOR EYES: .................................................................. Flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a
physician.

FIRST AID FOR SKIN: ................................................................... Remove contaminated clothing. Wipe excess from skin. Wash with
soap and water. If irritation occurs, get medical attention.
FIRST AID FOR INHALATION: ..................................................... Remove to fresh air and rest if effects occur.
FIRST AID FOR INGESTION:........................................................ Seek medical attention if appreciable amounts are ingested.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
FLASH POINT: ............................................................................... > 260癋 (PMCC)
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: .............................................................. Water fog, carbon dioxide (CO2) or dry chemical.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Wear complete fire fighting gear and self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool fire-exposed containers with water spray. Material is not
readily combustible unless preheated.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: During a fire, smoke may contain the original materials in addition to combustion
products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include, but are not limited to: phenolics,
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES: Stop leak without additional risk. Dike and absorb with inert material (e.g., sand) and
collect in a suitable, closed container. Warm, soapy water or non-flammable, safe solvent may be used to clean residual.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE:
STORAGE TEMPERATURE (MIN./MAX.):.................................... 40癋 (4癈) / 90癋 (32癈)
SHELF LIFE: .................................................................................. Reference product label.
STORAGE: ..................................................................................... Store in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture absorption and
loss of volatiles. Store away from heat and open flame.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:......................................................... Ventilate work area. Avoid skin contact. Wash skin thoroughly after
handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Precautionary steps should be taken when curing product in large quantities. When
mixed with epoxy curing agents this product causes an exothermic, which in large masses, can produce enough heat to damage or ignite
surrounding materials and emit fumes and vapors that vary widely in composition and toxicity.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION:
EYE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS: ......................................... Wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles
when exposure is more likely.
SKIN PROTECTION GUIDELINES:............................................... Wear liquid-proof, chemical resistant gloves (nitrile-butyl rubber,
neoprene, butyl rubber or natural rubber) and full body-covering clothing.
RESPIRATORY/VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS:
Good room ventilation is usually adequate for most operations. Use respirators when exposure to vapors from heated material or mist is
likely, unless determined to be below applicable limits. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with organic vapor cartridge.
Note: Pro-Set, Inc. has conducted an air sampling study using this product or similarly formulated products. The results indicate that the
components sampled for (epichlorohydrin) were either so low that they were not detected at all or they were well below OSHA's
permissible exposure levels.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES: ................................... Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing vapors from heated
material. Protective skin cream barriers can be applied to hands in addition to gloves for added protection. Generally speaking, working
cleanly and following basic precautionary measures will greatly minimize the potential for harmful exposure to this product under normal
use conditions.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: ........................................ Not established for product as whole. Refer to OSHA's Permissible
Exposure Level (PEL) or the ACGIH Guidelines for information on specific ingredients.
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
PHYSICAL FORM .......................................................................... Liquid.

determine the Volatile Matter Content of mixed epoxy resin and hardener. This method states that two-component coating systems
should be tested by mixing the individual components together at the proper ratio. Refer to the hardener's MSDS for information about
the total volatile content of the resin/hardener system.

product is heated to decomposition.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
No specific oral, inhalation or dermal toxicology data is known for this product. Specific toxicology information for a bisphenol-
A based epoxy resin present in this product is indicated below:
Oral: ................................................................ LD50 >5000 mg/kg (rats)
Inhalation: ....................................................... No Data.
Dermal: ........................................................... LD50 = 20,000 mg/kg (skin absorption in rabbits)
TERATOLOGY: .............................................. ..................Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBPA) did not cause birth defects or other
adverse effects on the fetus when pregnant rabbits were exposed by skin contact, the most likely route of exposure, or when pregnant
rats or rabbits were exposed orally.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: ......................... ...................DGEBPA, in animal studies, has been shown not to interfere with
reproduction.
MUTAGENICITY:............................................ .................... DGEBPA in animal mutagenicity studies were negative. In vitro
mutagenicity were negative in some cases and positive in others.
CARCINOGENICITY:
NTP......................................................................................... Product not listed.
IARC ....................................................................................... Product not listed.
OSHA...................................................................................... Product not listed.
Many studies have been conducted to assess the potential carcinogenicity of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A. Although some weak
evidence of carcinogenicity has been reported in animals, when all of the data are considered, the weight of evidence does not
show that DGEBPA is carcinogenic. Indeed, the most recent review of the available data by the International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that DGEBPA is not classified as a carcinogen.
Epichlorohydrin, an impurity in this product (<5 ppm) has been reported to produce cancer in laboratory animals and to produce
mutagenic changes in bacteria and cultured human cells. It has been established by the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A) based on the following conclusions: human evidence ?inadequate;
animal evidence ?sufficient. It has been classified as an anticipated human carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program (NTP).
Note: It is unlikely that normal use of this product would result in measurable exposure concentrations to this substance.
Neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether has been reported to be carcinogenic in some laboratory tests.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
