5-MINUTE FAST DRYING EPOXY RESIN

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Appearance, form, odor: Clear viscous liquid with little odor WARNING!. Eye and skin irritant. Potential skin sensitizer.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye, skin Symptoms of acute overexposure Skin: Moderate skin irritant . Contact at elevated temperatures can cause thermal burns which may result in permanent damage. May cause skin sensitization (itching, redness, rashes, hives, burning, swelling). Eyes: Moderate eye irritant (stinging, burning sensation, tearing, redness, swelling). Contact at elevated temperatures can cause thermal burns which may result in permanent damage or blindness. Inhalation: The low vapor pressure of the resin makes inhalation unlikely in normal use. In applications where vapors (caused by high temperature) or mists (caused by mixing) are created, breathing may cause a mild burning sensation in the nose, throat and lungs. Ingestion: Acute oral toxicity is low. May cause gastric distress (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). Effects of Chronic Exposure: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization, with itching, swelling or rashes on later exposure. Part No: 1233 Medical Conditions Recognized as Being Aggravated by Exposure: Preexisting eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by overexposure to this product. Other: See Section 11 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Flush eyes with clean water for at least 20 minutes while gently holding eyelids open, lifting upper and lower lids. Get medical attention.. Skin Contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and excess contaminant. Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Consult a physician if irritation develops. Inhalation: If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Rinse mouth with water several times. Never give fluids or induce vomiting if the victim is unconscious or having convulsions. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, hold the victim´s head lower than hips to prevent aspiration. Get immediate medical attention. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Recommended Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical, foam Flash point: >400°F Method: PMCC Lower Explosive Upper Explosive Limit: n/d Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Material will not burn unless preheated. Do not enter confined space without full bunker gear. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use water spray to cool exposed containers. Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards: Heating above 300°F in the presence of air may cause slow oxidation decomposition and above 500°F may cause polymerization. Personnel in vicinity and downwind should be evacuated. Hazardous Products of Combustion: When heated to decomposition it emits fumes of Cl-, carbon monoxide, other fumes and vapors varying in composition and toxicity 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Spill Control: Avoid personal contact. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate area. Containment: Dike, contain and absorb with clay, sand or other suitable material. Cleanup: For large spills, pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material and dispose of properly. Flush area with water. Special procedures: Prevent spill from entering drainage/sewer systems, waterways and surface water. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling precautions: Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after using and particularly before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing and protective gear before reuse. Discard contaminated leather articles. Handle mixed resin and hardener in accordance with the potential hazard of the curing agent used. Provide appropriate ventilation/respiratory protection against decomposition products (see Section 10) during welding/flame cutting operations and to protect against dust during sanding/grinding of cured product. Part No: 1233

Storage

Store in a cool, ventilated area away from ignition sources. Keep containers closed when not in use 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering controls Ventilation: Use ventilation that is adequate to keep employee exposure to airborne concentrations below exposure limits (or to the lowest feasible levels when limits have not been established). Although good general mechanical ventilation is usually adequate for most industrial applications, local exhaust ventilation is preferred (see ACGIH - Industrial Ventilation). Local exhaust may be required for confined areas (see OSHA CFR29 1910.146). Other engineering controls: Have emergency shower and eye wash available. Personal protective equipment Eye and face protection: Chemical goggles if liquid contact is likely, or safety glasses with side shields. Skin protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (i.e. butyl) and other gear as required to prevent skin contact. Respiratory protection: With good ventilation, none required. In poorly ventilated areas use NIOSH-approved organic vapor cartridge respirator for uncured resin, dust/particle respirators during grinding/sanding operations for cured resin, or fresh airline respirator as exposure levels dictate (see OSHA CFR29 1910.134). 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Specific Gravity: 1.17 Boiling Point: >500°F Melting point: n/d Vapor Density (Air=1): >1 Vapor Pressure: 0.03 mmHg @ 171°F Evaporation Rate: <1 (butyl acetate = 1) VOC: None Solubility in water: Negligible pH (5% solution or slurry in water): Neutral 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY This material is chemically stable. Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Conditions to Avoid: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Incompatabilities: Strong Lewis or mineral acids, strong oxidizing agents, strong mineral and organic bases (esp. primary and secondary aliphatic amines) Hazardous Products of Combustion: When heated to decomposition it emits fumes of Cl-, carbon monoxide, other fumes and vapors varying in composition and toxicity Conditions under which hazardous polymerization may occur: Heat is generated when resin is mixed with curing agents; Run-away cure reactions may char and decompose the resin, generating unidentified fumes and vapors which may be toxic.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Eye irritation DGEBPA Draize - 2 (rabbit) Subchronic effects: No data available. Part No: 1233 Carcinogenicity, tertogenicity and mutagenicity 1) MUTAGENICITY Liquid resins based on diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBPA), have proved to be inactive when tested by in-vivo mutagenicity assays. These resins have shown activity in in-vitro microbial mutagenicity scriining and have produced chromosomal aberrations in cultured rat liver cells. The significance of these tests to man is unknown. 2) CARCINOGENICITY: Recent 2-year bioassays in rats and mice exposed by the dermal route to DGEBPA yielded no evidence of carcinogenicity to the skin or any other organs. This study clarifies prior equivocal results from a 2-year mouse skin painting study, which were suggestive, but not conclusive, for weak carcinogenic activity. 3) The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded that DGEBPA is not classifiable as a carcinogen (IARC Group 3), that is human and animal evidence of carcinogenicity is inadequate. Other chronic effects: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization, with itching, swelling, or rashes on later exposure. Studies have shown bisphenol A diglycidyl ether resin to cause allergic contact dermititis.
