HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Health Effects:
The resin is based on resins used in dental fillings. It is of very low viscosity
Acute
and designed to penetrate biological tissue, being an embedding resin. Hence
care should be taken to minimise skin contact. This is especially true if there is
a previous history of allergy to methacrylates.
First Aid:
Swallowed:
Avoid all contact with eyes. If resin gets into the eyes, wash eyes gently with

SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
The resin should be kept cool (40C) to prevent premature polymerisation.
Storage and Transport:
Dispose of resin and catalyst by combining the two in a well-vented container,
Spills and Disposal:
e.g. a bucket. To polymerise the resin safely add 2.5% di-methyl p. toluidine.
The resin will then cure with a little fuming as it exotherms and should be
placed in a fume cupboard or outside whilst this occurs. The cool resin is
harmless and may be disposed of with other non toxic waste.
The resin is combustible. The flash point exceeds 1200C. If excess catalyst is
Fire/Explosion Hazard:
added a high exotherm may result. This is only a risk if the container holding
the mixture is not vented
