2. COMPOSITIONS AND INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Component CAS Number %
Reaction product of Epichlorohydrin and Bisphenol A 025068-38-6 100

3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Eye: May cause slight transient eye irritation. Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury
due to mechanical action.
Skin: Prolonged or repeated exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. A single
prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful
amounts.
Ingestion: Single does oral toxicity is considered to be low. No hazards anticipated from
swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations.
Inhalation: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. Single exposure to dust is not likely to
be hazardous.

4. FIRST AID

Eye: Flush eyes with plenty of water, mechanical effects only.
Skin: Wash off in flowing water or shower.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so
by medical personnel.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician.
Note to Physician: No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the
physician in response to reactions of the patient.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammable Properties: Flash point Decomposes prior to flashing.
Auto ignition temperature Not Applicable
Flammability Limits: LFL Not Applicable
UFL Not Applicable
Hazardous Combustion Products: Under fire conditions polymers decompose. The smoke may
contain polymer fragments of varying compositions in addition to unidentified toxic and/or irritating
compounds. Hazardous combustion products may include and are not limited to phenolics, carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Other Flammability Information: Dense smoke is emitted when burned without sufficient
oxygen. Mechanical handling can cause formation of dusts. To reduce the potential for dust
explosion, do not allow dust to accumulate.
Extinguishing Media: Foam, water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Keep people away. Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry. If
material is molten, do not apply direct water stream. Use fine water spray or foam. Soak
thoroughly with water to cool and prevent re-ignition. Cool surrounding with water to localize fire
zone. Hand held carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguishers might be used for small fires.

Protective Equipments for Fire Fighting: Wear positive pressure, self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, pants,
boots and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected
location or safe distance.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Protect People: Clear non-emergency personnel from area. Isolate area. Avoid contact with
eyes. Avoid contact with skin and clothing.
Protect the Environment: Keep out of irrigation ditches, sewers and water supplies.
Cleanup: Sweep up. Transfer to suitable and properly labeled containers.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Good housekeeping and controlling of dusts are necessary for safe handling of
product.
Storage: Store in a dry place. For storage information, refer to this products Technical Data
Sheet.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Guideline(s): None established.
Engineering Controls: Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some applications.
Eye Protection: Use safety glasses. If there is a potential for exposure to particles, which could
cause mechanical injury to the eye, wear chemical goggles.
Skin Protection: No precaution other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed.
Respiratory Protection: In dusty atmosphere, use an approved dust respirator.

9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance: Yellowish solid flakes
Odor: Odorless
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Vapor Density: Not applicable
Solubility in Water: None
Specific Gravity: 1.18

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Conditions to Avoid: Product can decompose at elevated temperatures.
Material to Avoid: Acids, bases, amines and oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Uncontrolled exothermic reaction of epoxy resins release
phenolics, carbon monoxide and water. Hazardous decomposition products depend upon
temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur by itself. Masses of more than one pound (0.5 kg) of
product plus an aliphatic amine will cause irreversible polymerization with considerable heat build
up.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Acute Oral Toxicity (LD50/Rat): > 2,000 mg/kg
Acute Dermal Toxicity (LD50/Rabbit): > 2,000 mg/kg
