HAZARDS
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure – None Established.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES Eye Contact – Repeated or prolonged contact may cause irritation. Irrigate immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin Contact – No primary irritation was observed to the skin of rabbit. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause irritation. Wash
affected area with dilute ethanol to remove cured materials and further wash with soap and water.
Inhalation – Short-term harmful health effects are not expected from vapors generated at ambient temperatures. However, this material
is capable of generating trace amounts of methanol when reacted with water. Methanol vapor may cause dizziness, drowsiness,
disturbance of vision, and tingling, numbness in hands for forearms. Move to fresh air. If not breathing, administer artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion – May be harmful if ingested. LD50 for rat is 20 g/KG or more. Induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately.
SECTION 6 - CONTROL AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) – Not applicable under normal conditions. However, use OSHA approved respirator for organic
vapors if exposed to mists or sprays.
Protective Gloves – Wear gloves to minimize contact with skin.
Eye Protection – Safety glasses or
goggles

Other Protective Clothing and Equipment – Wear protective clothing to minimize contact with skin.
Hygienic Work Practices – Wash thoroughly after handling.
SECTION 7 - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE/LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be Taken if Material is Spilled or Released – Contain large spill by building a dike with absorbent material. Collect remainder
of the spill with absorbent material and place the material into a container approved for waste disposal. For minor spill, collect with
absorbent material and dispose in accordance to governmental regulations.
Waste Disposal Methods
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage – Clean equipment as soon as possible after use.
