Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Color: light yellow Physical State: viscous, Liquid. Odor: Odorless to mild Hazards of product: WARNING! May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause eye irritation. May cause skin irritation. Isolate area.
(TM)*Trademark Page 1 of 9
Skin Sensitization: Has caused allergic skin reactions in humans. Contains component(s) which have demonstrated the potential for contact allergy in mice. Inhalation: At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility. Vapor from heated material, mist or aerosols may cause respiratory irritation. Ingestion: Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts. Aspiration hazard: Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard. Cancer Information: Many studies have been conducted to assess the potential carcinogenicity of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBPA). Indeed, the most recent review of the available data by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that DGEBPA is not classified as a carcinogen. Although some weak evidence of carcinogenicity has been reported in animals, when all of the data are considered, the weight of evidence does not show that DGEBPA is carcinogenic.

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection. Refer to Section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary measures. Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible. Absorb with materials such as: Sand. Polypropylene fiber products. Polyethylene fiber products. Remove residual with soap and hot water. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Residual can be removed with solvent. Solvents are not recommended for clean-up unless the recommended exposure guidelines and safe handling practices for the specific solvent are followed. Consult appropriate solvent Safety Data Sheet for handling information and exposure guidelines. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.
7.
Handling
General Handling: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid use of electric band heaters. Failures of electric band heaters have been reported to cause drums of liquid epoxy resin to explode and catch fire. Application of a direct flame to a container of liquid epoxy resin can also cause explosion and/or fire.

Exposure Limits
None established
Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields). Skin Protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task. Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Neoprene. Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier. Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if material is heated or sprayed, use an approved air-purifying respirator. The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter. Ingestion: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands before smoking or eating.
Engineering Controls
Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations.

Reactivity
No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.
Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid short term exposures to temperatures above 300 C (572 F).
Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 250 C (482 F). Potentially violent decomposition can occur above 350 C (662 F). Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems. Pressure build-up can be rapid.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with oxidizing materials. Avoid contact with: Acids. Bases. Avoid unintended contact with amines. Hazardous decomposition products
Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials. Gases are released during decomposition. Uncontrolled exothermic reaction of epoxy resins release phenolics, carbon monoxide, and water.

Ecological Information
Toxicity
Material is moderately toxic to aquatic organisms on an acute basis (LC50/EC50 between 1 and 10 mg/L in the most sensitive species tested). Fish Acute & Prolonged Toxicity LC50, Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout), semi-static test, 96 h: 2 mg/l Aquatic Invertebrate Acute Toxicity EC50, Daphnia magna (Water flea), static test, 48 h, immobilization: 1.8 mg/l Aquatic Plant Toxicity ErC50, Scenedesmus capricornutum (fresh water algae), static test, Growth rate inhibition, 72 h: 11 mg/l Toxicity to Micro-organisms IC50; Bacteria, 18 h: > 42.6 mg/l Aquatic Invertebrates Chronic Toxicity Value Daphnia magna (Water flea), semi-static test, 21 d, number of offspring, NOEC: 0.3 mg/l
Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulation: Bioconcentration potential is moderate (BCF between 100 and 3000 or Log Pow between 3 and 5). Partition coefficient, n-octanol/water (log Pow): 3.242 Estimated.
Mobility in soil
Mobility in soil: Potential for mobility in soil is low (Koc between 500 and 2000)., Given its very low Henry's constant, volatilization from natural bodies of water or moist soil is not expected to be an important fate process. Partition coefficient, soil organic carbon/water (Koc): 1,800 - 4,400 Estimated. Henry's Law Constant (H): 4.93E-05 Pa*m3/mole.; 25 C
