Methods and Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Remove all sources of ignition. Contain spilled liquid
materials for with sand, absorbent material, or concrete dikes for recovery or disposal. Large spills
containment and should be collected mechanically (remove by pumping) for disposal. Place in container
cleaning up for disposal according to local / national regulations (see Section 13). Do not flush into
surface water or sanitary sewer system. For environmental releases and spills into
waterways, immediately contact the local authorities.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Safe handling advice Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Storage/Transport Consult the ISO container maximum pressure specifications prior to loading or unloading.
pressure

Load/Unload 64 - 86 °F
temperature 18 - 30 °C

Storage and handling Suitable: Stainless steel, fiberglass reinforced plastics, carbon steel coated with baked
materials phenolic. Any moisture may cause rusting of carbon steel.
Unsuitable: Isophthalic polyester

Further information Heating above 40°C (104°F) must be avoided, even briefly, because hydrolysis may
on storage conditions occur. The ideal storage temperature is 10 - 30°C (50 - 86°F). Prolonged storage in the
presence of air or oxygen may cause product degradation. Oxidation is not expected
when stored under a nitrogen atmosphere. Inert gas blanket and breathing system
needed to maintain color stability. Use dry inert gas having at least -40°C (-40°F) dew
point.

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING MEASURES
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Eyes Wear as appropriate: Goggles, Face-shield

Skin Full protective clothing, chemical boots, and chemical gloves.

Inhalation Use respirator when performing operations involving potential exposure to vapour of the
product. Use NIOSH approved respiratory protection.

EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
There are no exposure limits established for this product. Trace amounts of propylene oxide
may be present in this product., The propylene oxide in this product is not expected to result in
significant exposures or present a health hazard.

SECTION 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

Reactivity Stable at normal ambient temperature and pressure.

Chemical stability No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

Conditions to avoid Reacts slowly with air or oxygen. Hydrolysis is catalyzed by heat and low pH conditions.
Storage under heated conditions in the presence of air or oxygen increases reaction rate.
Lower temperatures will allow for longer storage time and higher temperatures will
shorten the storage time if stored under an air or oxygen atmosphere.

Hazardous When storing this product in air or oxygen, decomposition may occur, generating vapors
decomposition which could be irritating. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.

Genotoxicity in vivo:
No data available

Assessment Mutagenicity:
While the material was not mutagenic in an Ames Assay, changes in the number of
chromosomes (polyploidy) were observed in another in-vitro assay (Chromosome
Aberration Assay). The relevance of this result to human health is questionable. Results
from a more relevant follow-up study (in vivo Micronucleus Assay) indicated the material
was not genotoxic (absence of micronuclei formation). Based on all of the results, this
material is not considered to be a human health concern for genotoxicity.
