4 FIRST AID MEASURES

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with soap and water. If irritation
develops, seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses prior to water flush. Seek medical
attention.
Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. If patient is having difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical
attention. If not breathing, clear airway and start mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration (or use bag-mask
respirator). Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention. DO NOT give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person.

5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point: Not Applicable.
Flash Point Method: Not Applicable.
Autoignition Temp.: Not Applicable.
Burning Rate: Material is not flammable. Dry adhesive will burn.
Flammability Classification: Not Applicable.
Firefighting Equipment: Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full-face piece and pressure
demand or other positive-pressure mode and protective gear appropriate for surrounding materials. In case of
fire, use water, dry chemical, CO2, or alcohol foam extinguishing media.
Hazardous Products of Combustion: Carbon Oxides (CO and CO2), Acetic Acid, and various Hydrocarbons.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate PPE. Make sure area is well ventilated. Spilled adhesive may be
slippery.
Environmental Precautions: Keep out of sewers and drains.
Clean-up Methods: Dike and contain spill. Absorb spilled product with vermiculite, dry sand, or earth. Place in
a suitable non-leaking container and tightly seal for disposal.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Precautions: Wear appropriate PPE. If used indoors, make sure to provide adequate ventilation to
prevent vapor build-up. Avoid breathing of vapors.
Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid freezing temperatures. Minimize
contact with atmospheric air to prevent inoculation with microorganisms.

8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Controls: Use in a well ventilated area. Ensure that a working eyewash and safety shower are in
the work area.
Protective Equipment: Wear safety glasses with side shields, and neoprene or rubber gloves.
