SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Causes Burns. Acute effects: Contact of undiluted product with the eyes or skin quickly causes severe irritation and pain and may cause burns, necrosis and permanent injury. Burns of the eye may cause blindness. Harmful by inhalation. Product vapour in low concentration can cause lacrimation, conjunctivitis and corneal edema when absorbed onto the tissue of the eye from the atmosphere. Inhalation of vapours, aerosols and mist may severely damage contacted tissue and produce scarring. Harmful if swallowed. Swallowing will lead to a strong caustic effect on mouth and throat and to the danger of perforation of oesophagus and stomach. May cause sensitisation by skin contact. Repeated and/or prolonged exposure may cause an allergic eczema reaction/sensitisation. Once sensitised, an individual may produce an allergic eczema reaction every time they are in contact with the amines in this material. Product is absorbed through the skin and may cause nausea, headache and general discomfort. Contact with the skin may cause dryness (defatting), itching and/or rash. When the base is mixed with the hardener an exothermic reaction starts (i.e. heat is generated). If the mix is not applied within 20 - 30 minutes some smoking may occur.
