Section 3: Hazard Identification


Emergency overview: May cause eye irritation.  May cause allergic skin reaction.

Appearance: Colorless, Odorless Liquid

Flash Point: 118°C, 246°F

Potential Health Effects

Eye: May cause slight eye irritation. Corneal injury is not likely.

Skin: May cause slight skin irritation with local redness. May cause an allergic
skin reaction.  Harmful absorption not likely to take place.

Ingestion: Ingestion of small amounts unlikely to lead to harmful effects due
to the very low toxicity of this product.

Inhalation: Low volatility at room temperature makes exposure to vapor minimal. A
single exposure is unlikely to be hazardous.

Chronic: Repeated overexposure in animals has been reported to affect kidney,
liver, upper respiratory tract. This product has been toxic to the fetus in
lab animals exposed to doses toxic to the mother.


 


Section 4: First Aid Measures


Eyes: Rinse with copious amounts of water for several minutes, removing contact
lenses, if any, after the first 1-2minutes and continue flushing for several
more minutes.  If irritation occurs, seek medical attention, preferably an
ophthalmologist.

Skin: Immediately wash with plenty of soap and water.  Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes.  Seek medical attention if irritation persists.  Wash
clothing before reuse, and discard items which cannot be decontaminated,
such as shoes, belts and watchbands.

Ingestion: No emergency medical attention needed.

Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air.  If effects occur, seek medical attention.

Notes to Physician: There is no specific antidote. Treat symptomatically and
supportively.



Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

      

General Information: Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry.  Do not use a
direct stream of water.  Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water,
to protect personnel and minimize property damage.  Wear positive-pressure
self-contained breathing apparatus and protective fire fighting clothing.
Avoid contact with material. If contact is likely, change to full chemical
resistant fire fighting clothing with SCBA. If this equi0pment is not
available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with SCBA and fight fire from
a remote location.

Dense smoke is emitted when burned in oxygen deficient conditions.  Violet
steam eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.

Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide,
foam.  Do not use a direct stream of water, as this may spread the fire.
Alcohol resistant foams (ATC) are preferred. Synthetic foams (including AFFF)
or protein foams may function, but will be less effective. Water fog, applied
gently, may be used as a blanket for fire extinguishment.

Hazardous Combustion Products: Smoke may contain the original material, as
well as combustion products which may include, but not be limited to: phenolic
compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.




Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

      

General Information:
Prevent from entering soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater.
See section 12 for Ecological information.

Spills/Leaks:
Isolate area.  Contain spilled material if possible.  Collect in suitable and
properly labeled containers for disposal.  Wash the spill site with water.
Dispose of wash water in accordance with local regulations.



Section 7: Handling and Storage


Handling:
Avoid contact with eyes, skin.  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Utilize good
general ventilation or local exhaust ventilation if necessary.

Storage:
Store in cool, dry area away from oxidizing materials, acids, bases, amines.



Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Engineering Controls: Eye wash station; Good general ventilation

Exposure Limits:
None established by OSHA, ACGIH or Dow.

Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes: Safety glasses

Skin: Use gloves and protective clothing as needed to avoid repeated or prolonged
skin contact.

Respirators: Not needed

Section 10: Stability and Reactivity


Chemical Stability: Thermally stable at typical use temperatures

Conditions to Avoid: Elevated temperatures may cause decomposition.

Incompatibility with Other Materials: Oxidizing materials, acids, bases, amines

Hazardous Decomposition of Products: Depend upon temperature, air supply and
presence of other materials.  Uncontrolled exothermic reactions of epoxy
resins release phenolics, carbon monoxide, and water.

Hazardous Polymerization:  Will not occur by itself.  Masses of more than 1
pound of product plus an aliphatic amine will cause an irreversible
polymerization with considerable heat build-up.

Section 12: Ecological Information

Environmental Fate: This material cannot be considered as readily
biodegradable.  The rate constant for the vapor phase reaction with
photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals at 25°C is estimated to be 1.63E-11

have a tropospheric half-life of 7.89 hours.  The hydrolysis half-life is
33-47 days at 20°C, pH 7.  In the Modified Sturm Test (OECD 301B) (%CO2
evolved) at Day 28 – 71%.
