Section 2. Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
This mixture has not been evaluated as a whole. Information provided on the health effects of
this product is based on individual components. All ingredients are bound and potential for
hazardous exposure as shipped is minimal. However, some vapours may be released upon
heating and the end-user (fabricator) must take the necessary precautions (mechanical
ventilation, respiratory protection, etc.) to protect employees from exposure.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

R43 May cause sensitization by skin contact.
Routes of exposure: Inhalation, Ingestion, Skin contact
Acute exposure:
Inhalation: Resin particles, like other inert materials, can be mechanically irritating.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.
Eyes: Resin particles, like other inert materials, are mechanically irritating to eyes.
Skin: Experience shows no unusual dermatitis hazard from routine handling.
Chronic Exposure: Refer to Section 11 for Toxicological Information.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: None known.
