COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Additional Information The Full Text for all Hazard Statements are Displayed in Section 16. All Concentration values are expressed in a weight/weight % value. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhlation - Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, transport to nearest medical   facility for additional treatment. Skin Contact - Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with large amount of water   for at least 15 minutes, and follow by washing with soap and water if available. If   redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical   facility for additional treatment. Eye Contact - Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while   holding eyelids open. Transport to the nearest medical facility for additional   treatment. Ingestion - If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting: transport to nearest medical facility for   additional treatment. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to   prevent aspiration Physician - Potential for chemical pneumonitis. Consider: gastric lavage with protected airway,   administration of activated charcoal. Potential for cardiac sensitization, particularly   in abuse situations. Hypoxia or negative inotropes may enhance these effects.   Consider: oxygen therapy. Call a doctor or poison control centre for guidance. Common Symptoms and effects both acute and delayed Inhalation - No known symptoms. Ingestion - Symptoms may include nausea and vomiting. Skin Contact - Prolonged contact may cause irritation, redness, dry skin and dermatitis. Eye Contact - Symptoms may include irritation or pain, lacrimation and redness of the eye tissue.  5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES   Fire Hazards - The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and distant   ignition is possible. Will float and can be reignited on surface water. Carbon   monoxide may be evolved if incomplete combustion occurs.   Keep adjacent containers cool by spraying with water. Extinguishing Media - Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or   earth may be used for small fires only. Do not use water in a Jet. Combustion Products - During fire, oxides of Carbon and Nitrogen may be formed. Protective Equipment - Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn   in case of fire. Environmental - Keep run off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control. Procedures - Stay upwind, evacuate personnel, use suitable extinguishers. Move container   from fire area if it can be done without risk. Withdraw immediately in case of   rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks occur due   to fire. Use water spray to control vapours. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify   appropriate authorities. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES   Personal - Use protective gloves, goggles, respirator and suitable protective clothing. Avoid   contact with skin and eyes. Restrict access to authorised personnel. Stay upwind. Environmental - Isolate hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary or unprotected personnel.   Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Shut off leaks, if possible without   personal risks. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area.   Use appropriate containment (of product and fire fighting water) to avoid   environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or entering drains,   ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Attempt to   disperse the vapour or to direct its flow to a safe location for example by using   fog sprays. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Ensure   electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all equipment.   Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly.   Notify authorities if any exposure to the general public or the environment   occurs or is likely to occur. Local authorities should be advised if significant   spillages cannot be contained. The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along   the ground and distant ignition is possible. Vapour may form an explosive   mixture with air. See Chapter 13 for information on disposal. Methods of Clean Up - Ventilate well, stop flow of gas or liquid if possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry   sand or earth and place in containers. Dispose of in accordance with local   legislation. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE   Handling - Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames. avoid breathing vapours. Good industrial   practice in housekeeping and personal hygiene should be followed. When using do not eat,   drink or smoke. Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection and a BS2091 approved   respirator. Equipment or utensils used for dispensing the chemical must be suitable for the   purpose. Wash out after use. Wash thoroughly after handling the material. Remove   contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. If spraying, or using in confined areas always   wear airline breathing apparatus equipment conforming to BS 4275. Storage - Store in a dry well ventilated area in secure containers, clearly labelled and away from   sources of ignition. Reseal open packages to prevent spillage. Use in a well ventilated area.   Minimise dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.   Avoid ingestion/inhalation. Always keep the Hardener cans with the larger Base cans. Do not   store with oxidising agents. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION   Adequate ventilation should be provided such that Derived No Effect Limits are not exceeded. Local Exhaust Ventilation is preferable to personal protection. Gloves made out of Butyl Rubber at least 0.5mm thick, goggles, protective overalls, a chemical respirator and chemically resistant safety shoes should also be worn. Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
