4. First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Inhalation With any sign of respiratory distress, affected persons should be taken into fresh air, and
made to rest while medical attention is sought.
Ingestion Immediately rinse the mouth repeatedly with water, if swallowing has occurred, do not induce
vomiting. If requested, give affected person sips of water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If vomiting does occur do not allow the affected person to inhale their vomit. Do not give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact With uncured material, immediately wash the affected area with warm, soapy water then clean
the skin with resin removing cream, followed by further washing with warm soapy water. Do
not use solvents. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Eye contact Flush with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes for the doctor No specific recommendations. If in doubt, get medical attention promptly.
5.Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing mediaExtinguish with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards Refer to section 10 for further details.
Hazardous combustion
products
The products of combustion and decomposition depend on other materials present in the fire
and the actual conditions of the fire. Burning will release carbon dioxide, water, carbon
monoxide and compounds of nitrogen.
Advice for firefighters
Protective actions during
firefighting
A fire in the vicinity poses the risk of pressure build-up and rupture. Containers at risk from fire
should be cooled with water and, if possible, removed from the danger area. Do not allow
contaminated extinguishing water to enter the soil, ground water or surface waters.
Special protective equipment
for firefighters
Avoid exposure through use of a self-contained, positive-pressure breathing apparatus.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

M10E Resin
Personal precautions Wear suitable protective equipment, including gloves, goggles/face shield, respirator, boots,
clothing or apron, as appropriate.
Environmental precautions
Environmental precautionsPrevent spillage entering drainage systems or contaminating ground water or soil; if these
occur, inform local water and environmental health agencies immediately.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up Collect and place in suitable waste disposal containers and seal securely. For waste disposal,
see Section 13.
Reference to other sectionsFor personal protection, see Section 8. For waste disposal, see Section 13.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Usage precautions Avoid contact with uncured product. Avoid inhalation of dust/fumes generated during
processing operations. Provide positive dust extraction and collection from cutting zone.
Protect against fire and explosion by avoiding dust formation and ignition sources when
machining product. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using
the toilet. Use appropriate skin cream to prevent drying of skin. When using, do not eat, drink
or smoke. Promptly remove any clothing that becomes contaminated.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage precautions Keep container tightly closed and dry. See label on the container for the proper storage
temperature.

Information on basic physical and chemical properties
Appearance Light yellow to amber
Odor No characteristic odor.
Explosive properties Does not meet the criteria for classification as explosive.
Oxidising properties Does not meet the criteria for classification as oxidizing.
10. Stability and reactivity
Stability Stable under proper handling and storage conditions.
Possibility of hazardous
reactions
Will not occur under proper conditions of use. Rapid heating of the product in bulk may
produce an uncontrolled exothermic reaction that may char and decompose the size,
generating unidentified gases and vapors that may be toxic. Avoid inhalation.
Conditions to avoid Avoid heat, flames and other sources of ignition.
Materials to avoid Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition
products
Thermal decomposition and burning may release oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur. The
composition of gases/vapours/by-products generated during decomposition will vary
depending on temperature conditions, temperature rate of rise and the presence of other
chemicals in the vicinity that may react with the product. Gases/vapours/by-products should
be regarded as toxic.
