3.0 Hazard Identification
The latex reagent may cause minor irritation on contact with skin and eyes especially after
prolonged or repeated exposure. It may also cause irritation if inhaled or ingested.
The remaining components of this product contain substances that are either non hazardous
or at concentrations below that requiring the issue of an individual specific Material Safety
Data Sheet. However, general safety precautions should be observed and appropriate
procedures used to prevent direct contact with the eyes or skin and to prevent inhalation.
4.0 First Aid Measures
Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of water or milk.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately.
Note: If symptoms persist seek medical advice.
5.0 Fire Fighting Measures
As in any fire wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. During a
fire irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion. Use appropriate extinguishers when fire fighting.
No information is available on explosion limits.
6.0 Accidental Release Measures
