Effective Date: 8/24/06 Americas, Inc. (LA)
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Dermal, inhalation.
Potential Health Effects: May cause severe eye irritation. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration and burns
of mouth and throat. Inhalation may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin
irritation.
Carcinogenicity (NTP, IARC, OSHA): The chemicals listed in Section 2 are not considered to be carcinogenic by NTP, IARC,
or OSHA.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated overexposure may have effects on central nervous and reproductive systems. Also, substance
can cause allergic reaction.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin: Immediately wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Destroy contaminated
shoes. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physician: Allergic dermatitis or respiratory response in susceptible individuals may be delayed. It may appear after
weeks or even months of frequent and prolonged contact.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
58癈 ( 136 癋) For Component
Flash Point:
Fire Fighting Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical, water spray.
Fire Fighting Equipment: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Keep fire-exposed containers cool with water. Do NOT use a solid stream of water. A solid
stream of water can spread fire.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Decomposition and combustion products may be toxic.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental Release Measures: Evacuate spill area. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate area. Avoid breathing vapor. Wear
full protective equipment. Dike and absorb spill with inert material. Transfer to containers suitable for disposal. Promptly,
remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Wash affected skin area with soap and water. Keep spills and cleaning

runoffs out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water. If spilled on a porous surface, ground contamination must be
considered.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Signal Word: WARNING! COMBUSTIBLE
Precautions: Keep away from HEAT, SPARKS & FLAMES. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wear protective
clothing when handling. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing vapor. Keep containers closed when not in use. Use
only with adequate ventilation. Do NOT take internally.
Other Handling Information: In accordance with good industrial practice, handle with care and avoid unnecessary personal
contact. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged or repeated skin contact. Do not inhale mists. Use with adequate ventilation. For
industrial use only.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Oral Effects (LD50): For Bisphenol A Diglycidyl Ether Resin: >5,000 mg/Kg (rats)
For Butyl glycidyl ether: 1660 mg/Kg (rats) [from RETCS]
Acute Dermal Toxicity (LD50): For Bisphenol A Diglycidyl Ether Resin: >6,000 mg/Kg (rabbits)
For Butyl Glycidyl ether > 2150 mg/Kg (rabbits) [from RETCS]
Inhalation Toxicity (LC50): For Butyl glycidyl ether: 1030 ppm/8 H (rat)
Sensitization: Sensitizer (components).
Skin Irritation: Moderate - severe irritation.
Eye Irritation: Severe eye irritant.
Reproduction: Inhalation of Butyl Glycidyl Ether (38, 75, 150 or 300 ppm [0.20, 0.40, 0.799, or 1.60 g/m3] for 7 hours per day,
5 days per week for 10 weeks produced atrophic testes in 4 of 5 surviving rats at 300 ppm, very small testes in 1 of 10 rats at 150
ppm, and slightly patch atrophy of the testes in 1 of 10 rats at 75 ppm.
Neurotoxicity: Phosphoric acid, tris(phenyl methyl) ester: A commercially available tricresyl phosphate containing < 1% of tri-
ortho-cresyl phosphate isomer was administered to mice and rats by stomach tube 5 days per week for 13 weeks at dose levels of
800, 400, 200, 100, 50 and 0 (vehicle control) mg/Kg body weight.
Exposed mice and rats exhibited evidence of neurotoxicity; decreased body, lung, thymus and testicle weight; increased liver
weight; inhibition of serum cholinesterase, microscopic lesions in the spinal cord, adrenal cortex, testes and ovaries; and
significant effects on the sperm morphology. (unpublished results of the National Toxicology Program {NTP}).
