Inhalation

Ingestion

5.

: In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery
position and seek medical advice.
: Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is
irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by
trained personnel.
: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water or use recognised skin cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.
: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water
for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open.
: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label.
Keep person warm and at rest. Do not induce vomiting.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
Extinguishing media not to
be used

: Recommended: alcohol-resistant foam, CO 2, powders, water spray.

: Do not use water jet.

Recommendations

: Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may
cause a health hazard. Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water. Do not release runoff from fire to
drains or watercourses.

6.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

: Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapour or mist.
Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Contain and collect spillage
with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations
(see section 13).

Spill
: Preferably clean with a detergent. Avoid using solvents.
Note: see section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal.

7.

Handling and storage

Handling

: Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form
explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive
concentrations of vapours in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher than the
occupational exposure limits.
In addition, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and
other sources of ignition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be
protected to the appropriate standard.
To dissipate static electricity during transfer, earth drum and connect to receiving
container with bonding strap. Operators should wear antistatic footwear and clothing
and floors should be of the conducting type.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. No sparking
tools should be used.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid the inhalation of dust, particulates, spray or
mist arising from the application of this preparation. Avoid inhalation of dust from
sanding.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
handled, stored and processed.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
Never use pressure to empty. Container is not a pressure vessel.
Always keep in containers made from the same material as the original one.
Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray booth,
ventilation is unlikely to be sufficient to control particulates and solvent vapour in all
cases. In such circumstances they should wear a compressed air-fed respirator
during the spraying process and until such time as the particulates and solvent
vapour concentration has fallen below the exposure limits.

Storage

8.

: Store in accordance with local regulations. Observe label precautions. Store in a dry,
cool and well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from: oxidising agents, strong
alkalis, strong acids.
No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access. Containers that have been opened must
be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not empty into drains.

Exposure controls/personal protection

Engineering measures

: Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable, this should be achieved

by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not
sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and solvent vapours below the
OEL, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory system
: If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit, they must use
appropriate, certified respirators. Use respiratory mask with charcoal and dust filter
when spraying this product.(as filter combination A2-P2). In confined spaces, use
compressed-air or fresh-air respiratory equipment. When use of roller or brush,
consider use of charcoalfilter.
Skin and body
Hands

: Personnel should wear antistatic clothing made of natural fibres or of hightemperature-resistant synthetic fibres.
: Wear suitable gloves.

Not recommended, gloves(breakthrough time) < 1 hour: PE
For right choice of glove materials, with focus on chemical resistance and time of
penetration, seek advice by the supplier of chemical resistant gloves.
The user must check that the final choice of type of glove selected for handling this
product is the most appropriate and takes into account the particular conditions of

11. Toxicological information

There is no data available on the preparation itself. The preparation has been assessed following the conventional
method of the Dangerous Preparations Directive 1999/45/EC and classified for toxicological hazards accordingly. See
sections 2 and 15 for details.
Exposure to component solvent vapour concentrations in excess of the stated occupational exposure limit may result in
adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory system irritation and adverse effects on the kidneys,
liver and central nervous system. Solvents may cause some of the above effects by absorption through the skin.
Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss
of consciousness. Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause removal of natural fat from the skin,
resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. If splashed in the eyes, the liquid may cause
irritation and reversible damage. Swallowing may cause nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, gastro-intestinal irritation and
chemical pneumonia.
Contains: epoxy resin (MW 700-1200). May produce an allergic reaction.
Risk of serious damage to eyes.

12. Ecological information

There is no data available on the preparation itself.
Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses.
The preparation has been assessed following the conventional method of the Dangerous Preparations Directive
