3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This product is a light amber, photopolymer film resin on a primer-coated, steel plate. The
resin layer has a distinct, penetrating odor. The main health hazard associated with the material is skin irritation after
contact with the resin. Cuts can occur from handling the plate. Additionally, prolonged or repeated skin contact with the
resin layer of this product may cause allergic skin reactions (e.g., rashes, welts). Though the resin is not flammable, the
byproducts of thermal decomposition may include toxic gases (e.g., carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides). This product is
not normally reactive, though under specific conditions and exposure to ultraviolet light the resin component can
polymerize.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
significant route of occupational overexposure is contact with the skin. The
symptoms of overexposure to this product are as follows:
INHALATION: Most constituents of this material are not volatile and will not

burning, extreme irritation, and lacrymation (uncontrolled tearing). Skin
contact with the resin (especially prolonged contact) will cause irritation,
redness, and pain. Repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis (dry, red
skin). The Polyethylene Glycol 200 Diacrylate component of the resin is PHYSICAL HAZARD (YELLOW) 1
suspected to be a skin sensitizer (capable of producing rashes, increased
skin sensitivity, and other allergic skin reactions). In susceptible individuals,
subsequent exposures to very small amounts may cause allergic reaction.

terms):
ACUTE: This product is generally a low hazard material. The major acute effect would be local irritation. If heated,
inhalation of fumes from this product may cause mild irritation. Eye and skin contact with this product will cause irritation and
discomfort.
CHRONIC: Repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis (dry, red skin). Components of the resin coating of this product are
suspected allergens (by skin and unspecified route of exposure). In susceptible individuals, subsequent exposures to very
small amounts of the resin may cause allergic reaction. See Section 11 (Toxicological Information) for information on
components of this product.
TARGET ORGANS: ACUTE: Skin, eyes. CHRONIC: Skin.
PART II What should I do if a hazardous situation occurs?
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Victims of chemical exposure must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention if
necessary. Take a copy of label and MSDS to health professional with victim.
SKIN EXPOSURE: If the resin from this product contaminates the skin, begin decontamination with soap and copious
amounts of running water. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. Contaminated
clothing must be removed and laundered before re-use. The contaminated individual must seek medical attention if any
adverse effect develops after the area is flushed.
EYE EXPOSURE: If the resin from this product contaminates the eyes, open victim's eyes while under gently running water.
Use sufficient force to open eyelids. Have the contaminated individual "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. The
contaminated individual must seek medical attention if adverse effects occur after flushing.
