SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW • Poses little or no immediate hazard • Burning dry resin emits dense black smoke. Dike and contain spills. • Avoid dilution of spills

Potential health effects

see Section 11 for toxicological data) • EYE: may cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. • SKIN: Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause slight skin irritation. Material may stick to skin, causing irritation upon removal. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. • INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is extremely low. No hazards anticipated from swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations. • INHALATION: Single exposure to vapors is not expected to pose a hazard • SYSTEMIC AND OTHER EFFECTS: No relevant information found. 4. FIRST AID • EYE: Flush eyes with plenty of water. • SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower. • INGESTION: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. • INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: • Flash Point: Not applicable • Method Used: Not applicable FLAMMABILITY LIMITS: LFL: Not applicable HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: If burned, produces a dense, black smoke and noxious gasses (carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons). Pg. 2 of 4 OTHER FLAMMABILITY INFORMATION: The dried resin is combustible, similar to wood. Burning dry resin emits dense, black smoke. Liquid material is not combustible.
