minutes and continue washing. Obtain prompt medical consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Remove stomach contents by gastric suction or induce vomiting only as directed
by a physician or medical personnel. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note to Physician:
No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the
patient.
5. FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS
Extinguishing Media:
Water fog or fine spray. Carbon dioxide. Alcohol resistant foam. Dry chemical fire extinguishers.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions:
Wear adequate personal protective equipment; see Section 8-EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.
Methods of Cleaning Up:
Large spills: Contain with dike. Pump into suitable and properly labeled containers.
Small spills: Dilute with water and recover or use non-combustible absorbent material/sand and shovel into appropriate
containers.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE
Keep away from: oxidizers. Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage areas and in closed containers.
HANDLING
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Avoid breathing of vapors. Handle in well-ventilated workspace. When handling, do not eat,

EYE PROTECTION
Chemical safety glasses. A full-face shield and vapor respirator is recommended for operations involving spraying or other
operations placing this material under pressurized conditions.
HAND PROTECTION
Neoprene rubber gloves. Impermeable gloves. Nitrile rubber gloves. The breakthrough time of the selected
glove(s) must be greater than the intended use period.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Not required under normal conditions and in a well-ventilated workplace. At elevated temperatures, a cartridge mask
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved for organic vapors may be appropriate

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
No specific controls needed.
WORK AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating,
smoking or using the toilet.
NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account
all requisite workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture
protection, dexterity, thermal protection), as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Persistence/Degradability:
This material contains components that show little or no evidence of biodegradability. Caution should be taken to prevent
release to the environment. See Section 13 for further information.
Degradation:
Based on the stringent OECD test guidelines, this material cannot be considered as readily biodegradable; however, these
results do not necessarily mean that the material is not biodegradable under environmental conditions.
Aquatic Toxicity:
Diglycidyl Ether of Bisphenol-A (DGEBA) resins are toxic to aquatic organisms (LC50/EC50/IC50 between 1 and 10 mg/L in
most sensitive species). However, DGEBA is insoluble in water under most conditions.
Individual components of this mixture have been independently tested by the raw material suppliers and any known information has
been presented above. The results for the individual components may not be representative of the ecological toxicity of this finished
product. Caution should be taken to prevent release to the environment. See Section 13 for further information.
