SECTION 2: Hazards identification

FLAMMABLE. For potential danger for the environment, see section 12. 4. FIRST AID GENERAL In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. INHALATION Keep the patient warm in a quiet place with fresh air. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. If unconscious place in the recovery position. Seek medical advice. SKIN CONTACT Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use an appropriate skin cleaner. Do NOT use solvents or thinners. EYE CONTACT Remove any contact lenses. Hold the eyelids apart. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist. INGESTION DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If accidentally swallowed obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. Seek medical advice. MEDICAL INFORMATION Risk of chemical pneumonia by aspiration. Keep attention: danger of lung damage. General health examination. Professional evaluation of the work station. Regulary medical control. Person developing a skin rash are to be directed to a dermatologist for examination. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES PROPER FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT Recommended alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powders, water spray. Not to be used water jet FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS Fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustion (see Section 10). Decomposition products may be a hazard to health. PERSONAL PROTECTION WHEN FIREFIGHTING The personal protective equipment required is provided in section 8. Professional fire-fighters are required to use an air-fed system when dealing with major fires.

Further information

Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapours. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite and diatomaceous earth. Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses. Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid use of solvents. If the product enters drains or sewers, the local water company should be contacted immediately; in the case of contamination of streams, rivers or lakes, the Environmental Agency. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING ADVICE Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour concentration higher than the occupational exposure limits. The product should not be used in vicinity of open flames or other sources of ignition. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment. The product may charge electrostatically. Allways use earth (ground) wire when transferring from one container to another. Personnel should wear anti-static clothing and footwear. Floors should be electrically conductive. Keep container tightly closed. Exclude sources of heat, sparks and open flame. Use non-sparking tools. Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour and spray mist. Smoking, eating and drinking are forbidden in the work area.For personal protective equipment see Section 8. Always keep in containers made of the same material as the supply container. Never use pressure to empty the container, it is not a pressure vessel. Electrical equipment should be protected to appropriate standards. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations may apply to the handling of containers of this product. Smoking, eating and drinking are forbidden in the work area.

Storage

Store in accordance with the regulations for flammable materials. Observe the label precautions. Store in a dry, cold and well ventilated place away from sources of heat, ignition and direct sunlight. Store separately from oxidising agents and strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials. No smoking. Containers which are opened should be properly resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Ingredients name CAS-no OEL value OEL XYLENE, mixed isomers 1330-20-7 441,0 mg/m3 ;Sk 1-METHOXY-2-PROPANOL 107-98-2 375,0 mg/m3;Sk EXPOSURE CONTROL Persons with allergic reactions to epoxy should not work with epoxy containg products. Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. Spray mist contains all substances of the product and must not be inhaled. OELs are taken from the current version of EH40 (by Health & Safety Executive, UK). RESP. PROTECTION When use of roller or brush, then charcoal filter is sufficient. Use respiratory protective mask with charcoal and dust filter (A2/P2) when spraying this product. EYE PROTECTION Eye protection designed to protect against liquid splashes should be worn. HAND PROTECTION Use PVA/EVAL gloves. Barrier creams may help to protect exposed areas of the skin but are not substitutes for full physical protection. Never apply barrier cream to contaminated skin. SKIN PROTECTION Wear anti-static clothing made of natural fibre or of heat resistant synthetic fibre.When spraying use suit covering the whole body. 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Form Liquid.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY STABILITY Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see section 7). MATERIALS TO AVOID Keep away from oxidising agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials to prevent the exothermic reactions. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS In a fire, hazardous decomposition products such as smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen may be produced.Inhalation of smoke (from a fire or from welding on zinc coated material) may give symptoms like influenza, zinc-fever.
