This document is prepared pursuant to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
(29 CFR 1910.1200). In addition, other substances no 'Hazardous' per this OSHA Standard may be
listed. Where proprietary ingredient shows, the identity may be made available as provided in this
standard.
2. PHYSICAL DATA:

3. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA:
FLASH POINT: 405癋, 207.2癈
METHOD USED: PMCC ASTM D-93
FLAMMABLE LIMITS
LFL: Not applicable.
UFL: Not applicable.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2, dry chemical.

4. REACTIVITY DATA:
STABILITY: (CONDITIONS TO AVOID) Excessive heating over long periods of time degrades the
MSDS A-7300 Part A 1
resin. Freezing may cause a temporary haze to develop. Fire conditions increase viscosity and EEW.
INCOMPATIBILITY: (SPECIFIC MATERIALS TO AVOID) Base acid, amines and oxidizing
materials.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Under conditions of imperfect combustion and/or
pyrolysis various phenolic compounds, CO, AND/OR CO2 may be evolved.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur by itself, but mass of more than one pound of
product plus and aliphatic amine will cause irreversible polymerization with considerable heat build-
up.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION:
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Soak up in non-reactive absorbent material or scrape
up. The residue can be removed with hot soapy water. Use of methylene chloride, acetone, or aromatic
solvents in clean up poses a distinct hazard and therefore, should be avoided.
DISPOSAL METHOD: Burn in adequate incinerator or bury in approved landfill in accordance
with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
EYE: May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely.
SKIN CONTACT: Has caused allergic skin reactions in humans. Prolonged exposure not likely to
cause significant skin irritation.
SKIN ABSORPTION: A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being
absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. The dermal LD50 has not been determined.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. The oral LD50 for rats is >2000 mg/kg. Small amounts
incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; swallowing amounts larger
than that may cause injury.
INHALATION: Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract.
6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA: (CONTINUED)
CANCER INFORMATION: Several studies have been conducted to assess the potential
carcinogenicity of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBPA) -based epoxy resins. In one
of these, a DGEBPA-based resin (containing high levels of several impurities, including a known
animal skin carcinogen) was reported to produce a weak carcinogenic response in the skin of one of two
strains of mice tested. Recent studies have suggested slight increases in two systemic tumor types
following repeated application of certain DGEBPA-containing resins (or pure DGEBPA), although the
response was not uniform among practically identical resins. Based on these data, and the other
studies which have not shown cancer, the cause-effect relationship between DGEBPA-treatment and
these tumor increases is questionable. Indeed, a recent review of the available data by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that DGEBPA is not classifiable as to its
carcinogenicity.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): 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 did not interfere with reproduction in animal studies.
MSDS A-7300 Part A 2
MUTAGENICITY (EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL): Animal mutagenicity studies were
negative. Iin vitro mutagenicity studies were negative in some cases and positive in others.
7. FIRST AID:
EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water.
SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower.
INGESTION: Induce vomiting if large amounts are ingested. Consult medical personnel.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote. Supportive carte. Treatment based on judgment of the
physician in response to reactions of the patient.
8. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(S): None established.
VENTILATION: Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: No respiratory protection should be needed. If respiratory
irritation is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator.
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear clean, long-sleeved, body-covering clothing. Use protective clothing
impervious to this material. Selection of specific items such as gloves, boots, apron, or full-body suit
will depend on operation.
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses. Where contact with this material is likely, chemical goggles
are recommended because eye contact may cause discomfort even though it is unlikely to cause injury.
9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: See Dow bulletin
entitled "Storage, Handling, and Toxicity of Down Epoxy Resins". Practice good caution and
personal cleanliness to avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid breathing vapors of heated material.
MSDS STATUS: Revised sections 6,7,8 and Regulatory Information.
