R22
Harmful if swallowed
R41
Risk of serious damage to eyes
Signs and symptoms of exposure (Acute effects) Administration to eyes of test animals resulted in deaths.
Material is readily absorbed through the eyes. Contact with eyes causes severe irritation and pain. Burns of the
eye may cause blindness.
Signs and symptoms of exposure (Possible longer term effects) Repeated and/or prolonged exposures may
result in: adverse eye effects (such as conjunctivitis or corneal damage)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation
Skin contamination
Eye contamination
Ingestion
Move patient to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is laboured give
assisted respiration (mouth-to-mouth). Supplemental oxygen may be
indicated. Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn victim’s head to a side.
Assure mucous does not obstruct airway. Seek medical advice.
Remove product and immediately flush affected area with water for at
least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
before reuse. Contaminated leather wear should be discarded.
Hold eyelids apart and immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. Induce vomiting or
remove stomach contents by gastric suction only as directed by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media Ignition will give rise to a Class B fire. In case of fire use: Water streams.
Special exposure hazards (fire fighting) May generate toxic, irritating or flammable combustion products.
Personnel in vacinity and downwind should be evacuated.
Special fire fighting procedures Fire fighters should wear butyl rubber boots, gloves, and body suit and a self
contained breathing apparatus.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Precautions Wear goggles and face shield. Open enclosed spaces to outside atmosphere. Wear protective
clothing, boots, gloves and eye protection.
Methods for cleaning up Wear goggles and face shield. If recovery is not feasible, admix with dry soil, sand
and non-reactive absorbent and place into a container or dumpster pending disposal. Transfer to containers by
suction, preparatory for later disposal. Place in metal containers for recovery or disposal. Flush area with
waterspray. Clean-up personnel must be equipped with self contained breathing apparatus and butyl rubber
protective clothing. For large spills, recover spilled material with a vacuum truck.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Spraying increases the risk of hazardous exposure. In atmospheres where the material is sprayed,
workers should avoid contact with aerosols containing these resins through engineering controls, such as
exhaust ventilation. Wear goggles and face shield. Do not get in eyes. Other individuals working in the
vicinity of the product where exposure can occur should also be fitted with chemical splash goggles.
Contaminated clothing should be properly laundered or disposed of in a manner that will not cause additional
exposure. Workers should be strongly encouraged to follow good hygiene practices, such as thorough washing
of hands, arms, neck and face.
Storage Keep away from oxidisers. Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage and in closed containers.

Respiratory protection In atmospheres were the material is sprayed, workers should avoid contact with
aerosols containing Epilink 660 through proper engineering controls, such as exhaust ventilation and/or proper
protective equipment, such as full-face air-supplied respirators, gloves and full body protective clothing. In
emergency situations use eye goggles with a full face shield. For emergency situations use self-contained
breathing apparatus with pressure demand mode.
Hand protection Nitrile rubber gloves.
Eye protection Properly fitted chemical splash-proof goggles and a face mask must be worn. Other
individuals working in the vicinity of the product where exposure could occur should also be fitted with
chemical splash goggles. Workers should not contact their eyes or skin with hands contaminated with the
material. In emergency situations, use eye goggles with full face shield.
Skin protection Wear long sleeved clothing.

Conditions to avoid Not applicable
Materials to avoid Oxidizing agents (ie. perchlorates, nitrates etc). Reaction with peroxides may result in
violent decomposition of peroxide possibly creating an explosion.
Hazardous decomposition products Irritating and toxic fumes at elevated temperatures.
Hazardous polymerisation Will not occur.

Acute toxicity effects data
Oral LD50 (rat): 511 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 (rabbit): > 2000 mg/kg No deaths
Inhalation LC50 (rat): no data
Other data
Tests with rats and rabbits to determine ocular toxicity resulted in deaths in both species at a level of 70%
active ingredient. Animals died within one hour after material was placed in the eye and before eye irritation
could be scored. Additional tests showed that flushing the eye within 30 seconds was not effective in
preventing animal deaths.
Irritation effects data Severe irritation to the eyes of a rabbit. Non irritant to the skin of a rabbit.
Chronic/subchronic data No delayed, subchronic or chronic test data are known.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Waste from this product may present long term environmental hazards, thus landfill disposal must be
considered less acceptable than incineration.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations. For example, in the UK regulations made under
the Control of Pollution Act 1974, and the Environmental Act, 1990. Wear protective clothing during disposal
operations. If disposal is by a waste contractor, make sure that he has sufficient information and that waste
containers are properly labelled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Ingestion
If accidentally swallowed, give large quantities of water or milk to dilute the
effects on the stomach. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation
If inhalation causes adverse effects, remove to fresh air. If problem persists,
seek medical attention.
Skin contact
In case of contact, immediately flush with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing. In case of prolonged irritation, seek medical attention.
Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids
should be held apart during irrigation to ensure water contact with entire
surface of eyes and lids. Seek immediate medical attention.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

personal protection equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Inhalation
Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapour.
Skin contact
Avoid contact with skin or clothing.
Eyes
Avoid contact with eyes.
Storage Keep in tightly sealed containers and store in a cool, dry place, avoiding exposure to heat, light,

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Engineering controls The following exposure control techniques may be used effectively minimise employee
exposure: local exhaust ventilation, enclosed system design, process isolation and remote control in
combination with appropriate use of personal protective equipment and prudent work practices. These
techniques may not necessarily address all issues pertaining to your operations. We, therefore, recommend that
you consult with experts of your choice to determine whether or not your programmes are adequate.
If airborne contaminants are generated when the materials are heated or handled, sufficient ventilation in
volume and air flow patterns should be provided to keep air contaminant concentrations below acceptable
levels. Refer to Section 2 which details specific exposure limits where applicable.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use approved protection equipment. Respirators should
be selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air. Use goggles if contact is likely. Wear
impervious gloves as required to prevent skin contact.
