4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Do not induce vomiting. Give several
glasses of water. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation: If affected, remove from exposure. Restore
breathing. Keep warm and quiet.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing and launder before
reuse.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15
minutes. Get medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: More than 200癋 Method: Pensky Martens
Closed Cup
Recommended
Extinguishing Agents: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical
Full protective equipment including self-contained
breathing apparatus should be used. Water spray
may be ineffective. If water is used, fog nozzles
are preferable. Water may be used to cool
containers to prevent pressure build-up and
possible autoignition or explosion when exposed
to extreme heat.
Hazardous Products formed
by Fire or Thermal Decomp Irritating organic vapors; oxides of carbon.
Hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, carbonyl
halides.
Unusual Fire or
Explosion Hazards: Closed containers may explode when exposed to
extreme heat.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be taken in case
of spill or leak: Remove all sources of ignition. Maintain good
ventilation. Soak up with an inert absorbent.
Store in a closed container until disposal.

(Contact Loctite Customer Service 1-800-243-4874 for shelf Life information)
Handling: Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid
breathing vapor and spray mist. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes. Wash hands after using. Contents
under pressure. Do not puncture, incinerate, or
expose to temperature above 120癋. Heat from
sunlight, radiators, stoves, hot water and other
heat sources could cause conteiner to burst. Do
not take internally. Keep out of the reach of
children.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eyes: Wear safety spectacles with unperforated
sideshields.
Skin: Chemical resistant gloves.
Ventilation: Local exhaust preferable. General exhaust
acceptable if the exposure to materials in Section
II is maintained below applicable exposure limits.
Refer to OSHA Standards 1910.94, 1910.107,
1910.108. If personal exposure cannot be
controlled below applicable limits by ventilation,
wear a properly fitted organic/particulate
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for protection
against materials in Section II.
See Section 2 for Exposure Limits.
