4.0 FIRST-AID MEASURES
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures:
***Never give fluids or induce vomiting if patient is unconscious or is having convulsions.***
Inhalation: Move effected persons to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Skin Contact: Immediate, continued and thorough washing in flowing water for at least 30 minutes is imperative
while removing contaminated clothing. Prompt medical consultation is essential. Wash clothing before reuse.
Destroy contaminated leather items.
Eye Contact: Wash immediately and continuously with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Remove contact
lenses after the first 5 minutes and continue washing. Obtain prompt medical consultation, preferably from an
ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give one glass (ca. 2.5 dL) of water or milk if available and transport to
medical facility. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note to Physician: Due to irritant properties, swallowing may result in burns/ulceration of mouth, stomach and
lower gastrointestinal tract with subsequent stricture. Aspiration of vomitus may cause lung injury. Suggest
endotracheal/esophageal control if lavage is done. If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after
decontamination. No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the
clinical condition of the patient.
4.2 Most Important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed:
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Eyes: Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant, corrosive). Inflammation of the eye is characterized by
redness, watering and itching. Exposure of the eyes to amine vapors may produce a temporary and reversible hazing
or blurring of vision. Symptoms disappear soon after exposure is terminated.
Respiratory: Vapors produced though handling of this material in its uncured state may cause irritation of the eyes,
nose, throat or other mucous membranes. Maintain adequate local exhaust or wear adequate personal protective
equipment. Processing of cured materials may produce harmful and/or irritating dusts. Use of local exhaust and or
dust/vapor respirators is recommended.
Skin: Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive). Skin contact may produce burns.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Respiratory: Repeated inhalation of vapors may cause lung damage. Provide appropriate ventilation to maintain
exposures below occupational limits. Use of a filtering respirator rated for use with amines/ammonia is
recommended where local ventilation is not adequate. See section 8-EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL
PROTECTION for exposure limits and recommended protective equipment. See section 11-TOXICOLOGICAL
INFORMATION for further information.

Skin: Repeated skin contact may cause a persistent irritation or dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged exposure may
aggravate existing dermatitis (skin contact). Overexposure to vapor, dust, or mist may aggravate existing respiratory
conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and inflammatory or fibrotic respiratory disease.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary: N/A
5.0 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Keep container dry. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/dust/spray/dust. If ingested, seek medical advice
immediately and show the container, label or this document. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store under nitrogen blanket for maximum shelf life. Product should not come in contact with copper or copper-
bearing alloys. Storage Temperature and Shelf Life: Store between 10 C and 27 C for maximum shelf life.
8.0 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 Control parameters
No data available.
8.2 Appropriate engineering controls:
Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for
operations involving machining of dry or cured material.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Respiratory Protection: For use of this material in its uncured state, no respiratory protection should be needed
with use of adequate local exhaust, however, if handling at elevated temperatures or without sufficient ventilation,
use of an approved air-purifying or supplied air respirator is recommended. Use a CE approved air-purifying
respirator with cartridge/filter for Amines or Ammonia
Skin Protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as
face shield, gloves, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on operation. Safety shower should be located in
immediate work area. Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder
clothing before reuse or dispose of properly. Items which cannot be decontaminated, such as shoes, belts and
watchbands, should be removed and disposed of properly.
Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under standard EN 374: Protective gloves against
chemicals and microorganisms.
Notice: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also
take into account all requisite workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled,
physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), as well as the
instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Eye/Face Protection: Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area. Use chemical goggles. A full-
face shield and vapor respirator is recommended for operations involving spraying or other operations placing this
material under pressurized conditions.
