Warning PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Clear to milky colored liquid with faint epoxy odor
Hazard statements
EYE: Minor transient irritation. No corneal injury likely. SKIN CONTACT: May cause allergic skin reaction in susceptible individuals. Prolonged exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Repeated exposure may cause skin irritation. SKIN ABSORPTION: A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is 20,000 mg/kg. INGESTION: Low acute oral toxicity; LD50 (rat) greater than 4000 mg/kg. No hazards anticipated from ingestion incidental to industrial exposure. INHALATION: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. Not a problem unless heated to high temperature. SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS: Except for skin sensitization, repeated exposures to low molecular weight epoxy resins of this type are not anticipated to cause any significant adverse effects. A poorly characterized sample of low molecular weight epoxy resin of this type has been reported to produce skin cancer in a highly sensitive strain of mice. However, high levels of impurities compromise the validity of the findings. Epoxy resin that is representative of current manufacturing processes is not believed to be a cancer hazard to humans. Results of mutagenicity tests in animals have been negative. Has been shown to be negative in some in vitro mutagenicity tests and positive in others.
Precautionary statements
Use personal protective equipment as required to minimize repeated skin exposure. Wash thoroughly after handling. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Wash with plenty of soap and water and avoid repeated exposure. IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
