Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
None.
Recommended monitoring
procedures
: If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal,
workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to
determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures
and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Reference
should be made to appropriate monitoring standards. Reference to
national guidance documents for methods for the determination of
hazardous substances will also be required.
Appropriate engineering controls : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local
exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker
exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or
statutory limits.
Environmental exposure controls : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be
checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental
protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or
engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary
to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical
products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end
of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to
remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated work
clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations
and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used
when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to
liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the
following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a
higher degree of protection: chemical splash goggles and/or face
shield. If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be
required instead.
Skin protection
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved
standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products
if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the
parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that
the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be
noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be
different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures,
consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves
cannot be accurately estimated.
Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based
on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Other skin protection : Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures

Section 4. First aid measures
Description of necessary first aid measures
Eye contact : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the
upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses.
Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Chemical burns must be
treated promptly by a physician.
Inhalation : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician.
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable
for breathing. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer
should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing
apparatus. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory
arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained
personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If unconscious, place in recovery
position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open
airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. In
case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may
be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical
surveillance for 48 hours.
Skin contact : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician.
Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before
removing it, or wear gloves. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes.
Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician. In the event
of any complaints or symptoms, avoid further exposure. Wash clothing
before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Ingestion : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician.
Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim
to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If
material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give
small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick
as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed
to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be
kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Chemical burns must
be treated promptly by a physician. Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and
get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Notes to physician : In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms
may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under
medical surveillance for 48 hours.

Specific treatments : No specific treatment.
Protection of first aid personnel : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the
rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing
apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly
with water before removing it, or wear gloves.
See toxicological information (Section 11)
Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media : Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing media : None known.
Specific hazards arising from the
chemical
: In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container
may burst.
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products
: Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon oxides
nitrogen oxides
Special protective actions for fire-
fighters
: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity
of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any
personal risk or without suitable training.
Special protective equipment for
fire-fighters
: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated
in positive pressure mode.
Section 6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through
spilled material. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Provide adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.

national guidance documents for methods for the determination of
hazardous substances will also be required.
Appropriate engineering controls : Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust,
fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to
airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.
Environmental exposure controls : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be
checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental
protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or
engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary
to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical
products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end
of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to
remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated work
clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations
and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used
when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to
liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the
following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a
higher degree of protection: chemical splash goggles and/or face
shield. If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be
required instead.
Skin protection
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved
standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products
if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the
parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that
the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be
noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be
different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures,
consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves
cannot be accurately estimated.
Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based
on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Other skin protection : Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures
should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks
involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this
product.
Respiratory protection : Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with
an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure
levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the
selected respirator.

PNEC Summary : Not available
Derived No-Effect Levels (DNEL s) and Predicted No-Effect Concentrations (PNEC s)
Explanatory note:
REACH requires manufacturers and importers to establish and report Derived No-Effect Levels (DNEL s) for
humans by inhalation, ingestion and dermal routes of exposure and Predicted No-Effect Concentrations
(PNEC s) for environmental exposure. DNEL's and PNEC's are established by the registrant without an official
consultation process, and are not intended to be directly used for setting workplace or general population
exposure limits. They are primarily used as input values in running Quantitative Risk Assessment models (like
the ECETOC-TRA model).
Due to differences in calculation methodology the DNEL will tend to be lower (sometimes significantly) than
any corresponding health-based OEL for that chemical substance. Further although DNEL s (and PNEC s) are
an indication for setting risk reduction measures, it should be recognized that these limits do not have the same
regulatory application as officially endorsed governmental OEL s.
8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls : If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below
any recommended or statutory limits.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical
products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the
end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to
remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated work
clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations
and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be
used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid
exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is
possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the
assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash
goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved
standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical
products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering
the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during
use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It
should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material
may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of
mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the

Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based
on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Other skin protection : Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures
should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks
involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this
product.
Respiratory protection : Based on the hazard and potential for exposure, select a respirator
that meets the appropriate standard or certification. Respirators must
be used according to a respiratory protection program to ensure
proper fitting, training, and other important aspects of use.
Environmental exposure controls : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be
checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of
environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers,
filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be
necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
General protective measures : Chemical splash goggles or face shield. Chemical-resistant gloves.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: ………………………………………………………… SUITABLE: Foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical. NON-SUITABLE:
Direct, high-pressure 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 monoxide, carbon dioxide, volatile amines, ammonia, nitric acid, aldehydes, nitrosamines. When mixed with sawdust, wood
chips, or other cellulosic material, spontaneous combustion can occur under certain conditions. Heat is generated as the air oxidizes the amine. If
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.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES : …………………………………………………. 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. Isolate 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.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE TEMPERATURE (min./max.): …………………………………… 40 F (4 C) / 90 F (32 C).

Page 3 of 6 Last Revised: 03JAN22
STORAGE: …………………………………………………………………………….. Store in cool, dry place away from high temperatures and moisture. Keep
container tightly closed. Store in a secure location with restricted access or store locked up.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: ……………………………………………………. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapors or mists from
heated material. Avoid exposure to concentrated vapors. Avoid 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.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
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.
SKIN PROTECTION GUIDELINES: ……………………………………………. 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 after 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.
