clear. lmmediately call POISON CONTROL CENTER or doctor.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: SUITABLE: Foam, carbon dioxide (COz), dry chemical, sand, limestone
powder. NON-SUITABLE: Direct water stream.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: .. During a fire, smoke may contain the original materials in addition to
combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include, but are not limited to: oxides
of nitrogen, carbon monoxiie, iarbon dioxide, volatile amines, ammonia, nitric acid, aldehydes, nihosamines. When mixed with sawdust, wood
chips, Jr other cellulosic material, spontaneous combustion can occur under certain conditions. Heat is generated as the air oxidizes the amine. lf
the heat is not dissipated quickly enough, it can ignite the sawdust.
SpECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:………………….. Use full-body protective gear and a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Use of water may generate toxic aqueous solutions. Do not allow water run-off from fighting fire to enter drains or other water courses’
EMERGENCY MEASURES: Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering area. Use
appropriate safety and personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
MITIGATION AND CLEAN UP PROCEDURES:……………… Stop leak without additional risk. lsolate area. Dike and absorb with inert
material (e.g., sand) and collect in a suitable, closed container. Do not use sawdust, wood chips or other cellulosic materials to absorb the spill, as
the possibility for spontaneous combustion exists. Warm, soapy water may be used to clean residual.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:………………… ….. Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and
groundwater. See Section 12 for environmental impact information.

container tightly closed. Store in ;;;;;;; b;;il;n *iiil’i”rtri”t”o access or store locked up. Store away from incompatible materials listed in
Section 10.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Use with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapors or mists from heated
material. Do not breathe concentrated vapors. Avoid all skin and eye contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. When mixed with epoxy resin this
product causes an exothermic reaction, which in large masses, can produce enough heat to damage or ignite surrounding materials and emit
fumes and vapors that vary widely in composition and toxicity.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:.. …Use with adequate general ventilation and/or local ventilation to keep
exposures below established limits
EYE PROTECTION GUIDELINES: Chemical splash-proof goggles or face shield.
Wear liquid-proof, chemical resistant gloves (nitrile-butyl rubber, neoprene
butyl rubber or natural rubber) and full body-covering clothing
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION GUIDELINES: When ventilation cannot be made adequate enough to keep exposures
below established limits, use a NIOSH approved respirator with an organic vapor cartridge, organic vapor cartridge + P100, or a multi-contaminant
cartridge, depending on specific workplace conditions. Consult with your respirator and cartridge supplier to ensure proper selection of respirator
and cartridge based on ingredients listed in Section 3 and specific workplace conditions. Use and select a respirator according the guidelines
established in OSHA 1910.134 or other applicable respiratory protection standard.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES : Use where there is immediate access to safety shower and emergency eye
wash. Wash thoroughly afier use. Contact lens should not be worn when working with this material. Generally speaking, working cleanly and
following basic precautionary measures will greatly minimize the potential for harmful exposure to this product under normal use conditions.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE L]MITS: Exposure limits may not be established for this product as a whole. For
established exposure limits of specific ingredients in this product, or other available exposure limit information, refer to the table below.
