SECTION 5 - REACTIVITY DATA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conditions to Avoid - Avoid mixing resin and curing Hazardous Polymerization - May occur
agent in batches greater than one pound total. Do Incompatibility - Strong oxidizing agents, strong
not heat material unless curing surfaces to be bonded. Lewis acids mineral acids
Failure to observe cautions may result in release of Stability - Stable
toxic gases. Hazardous Decomposition Products - Not available
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA/TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hazard to Humans (Based on hazardous ingredients data) - Primary route of exposure is dermal. This product is a
potential reproductive and carcinogenic hazard. Skin and eye irritation and dermal sensitization may occur.
Animal Experiment (Based on hazardous ingredients data) -
Acute - Oral LD50 - 0.5-5g/kg (slightly toxic). Dermal LD50 - 2-20 g/kg (slightly toxic). Inhalation LC50 - > 20 mg/l (practically
nontoxic). Moderate skin and mild eye irritation have been reported.
Chronic/Other - Skin sensitization and mutagenicity have been observed. Renal and lymphoreticular/hematopoietic tumors
have been reported in mice following dermal exposure. Skin tumors are possible following dermal exposure. Structurally
similar chemicals have been shown to cause testicular atrophy and impaired reproduction.
Additional Information - TLVR for N-butyl glycidyl ether was established for dermal irritation. The TLVR for silica was
established for inert dust. This product is dangerous and should be used only with adequate protection that prevents any
skin exposure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 - EMERGENCY/FIRST AID PROCEDURE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If on Skin - Promptly wash skin with soap and water. If irritation persists, contact a physician. Do not use other solvents
to remove material from skin.
If in Eyes - Flush eyes with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Contact a physician.
If Swallowed - Seek immediate medical attention.
If Inhaled - Not applicable
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8 - SAFE HANDLING/PREVENTIVE MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Protective Equipment - Safety glasses with side shields or goggles are required.
Work Practices - Wear impervious plastic or rubber gloves included in package.
Storage Requirement - Store in a cool dry place. Do not mix in batches of greater than one pound total. Follow recom-
mended curing procedures.
