Section 3: Hazard Identification

Emergency Overview:

Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, pain, upset stomach, diarrhea,
prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation, processing
vapors may cause respiratory tract irritation.  See Sections 3, 5, and 6.

Primary Routes of Exposure:
Eye, Skin

Eye Contact:
Incidental contact is not expected to cause irritation.

Skin Contact:
Prolonged or repeated contact may cause irritation.

Inhalation (Breathing):
Not hazardous in normal industrial use.  Processing vapors may cause
respiratory tract irritation.

Ingestion (Swallowing):
May cause nausea, vomiting, pain, and stomach upset (e.g. diarrhea).

Target Organs/Chronic Effects:
None known.

Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Exposure to this product is not expected to contribute, worsen,
or aggravate any pre-existing medical conditions.

Section 4: First Aid Measures


Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Get medical attention at once.  Remove any contact lenses that might
be worn by the victim.

Skin Contact:
Immediately flush with water.  Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical attention if irritation persists.  Professionally wash
clothing and shoes before re-use.

Inhalation (Breathing):
Remove the victim from the contamination immediately to fresh air.  If
breathing is weak, irregular, or has stopped, open the victim's air way, loosen
collar and belt and administer artificial respiration.  Seek medical advice
immediately.

Ingestion (Swallowing):
Seek medical attention.  Immediately induce vomiting as directed by
medical personnel.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Notes to Physicians:
Treatment should be directed at preventing absorption, administering
to symptoms (if they occur), and providing supportive therapy.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

      

Evacuation:
Isolate hazard area.  Keep unnecessary and unprotected
personnel from entering. Eliminate all sources of ignition and
ventilate the area.


Containment:
Safely stop discharge.  Contain material, as necessary, with a dike
or barrier.  Stop material from contaminating soil, or from entering
sewers or bodies of water.

Collection and Disposal:
Stop discharge, if safe to do so.  Use proper protective equipment.
Cover spills with absorbent clay or sawdust and place in closed 
chemical waste containers.  Dispose of according to applicable 
local, state, and federal regulations.

Reporting:
Spills of this material in excess of a component's RQ must be reported
to the National Response Center(USA: 1-800-424-8802) and to the 
appropriate state and local emergency response organizations.  
    No regulated ingredients.





Section 7: Handling and Storage



Storage Conditions:

Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area.

Transfer:
No special precautions are needed.  Follow good manufacturing
and handling practices.

Personal Hygiene:
Wash thoroughly after handling, especially before eating, drinking,
smoking, and using restroom facilities.  Wash contaminated goggles,
faceshield, and gloves.  Professionally launder contaminated clothing
before reuse.

Protective measures against fire and explosion:
Shut off all gas and pilot lights or sources of electrical spark until
the area has been cleared of all vapors and orders from the chemical. 
Use explosion proof hand tools.  In case of fire or explosion, do not 
inhale fumes.  Do not mix this product with strong oxidizers or bases.

Empty Container Precautions:
Attention!  This container can be hazardous when empty.  Follow label
warnings even after container is emptied since empty containers may
retain product residues.  Do not reuse empty container without
professional cleaning for food, clothing or products for human or
animal consumption or where skin contact can occur.




Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Exposure Guidelines

Control parameters:
             Content
Liquid diethoxymethane polysulfide polymer
             OSHA                      ppm(mg/m3)         N. A.
             ACGIH                     ppm(mg/m3)         N. A.
Labor Safety & Health Act (Japan)      ppm(mg/m3)         N. A.

Engineering Controls/Ventilation
Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when
vapors, mists, or dusts can be released.

Eye Protection:

Wear chemical splash goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
An eye wash facility should be readily available.

Skin Protection:
Wear protective clothing and appropriate impervious gloves.
Because a variety of protective gloves exists, consult glove
manufacturer to determine the proper type for a specific operation.

Respiratory Protection:

Industrial hygiene consultation is recommended because airborne
exposure levels vary depending on the nature of the operation
performed.  Respiratory protection is not usually required.
