4. First aid measures.

General : In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is
irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained
personnel. Give nothing by mouth. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek
medical advice.
Skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or
use recognised skin cleanser. Do NOT use solvents or thinners.
Eye Contact : Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for
at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open.
Ingestion : If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Keep
person warm and at rest. Do not induce vomiting.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media : Recommended: alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powders, water spray.
Not to be used : waterjet.
Recommendations : Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may cause
a health hazard. Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required. Cool closed containers
exposed to fire with water. Do not release runoff from fire to sewers or waterways.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions : Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Refer
to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Spill : Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials, e.g. sand, earth,
vermiculite, diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local
regulations (see section 13). Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses. Clean preferably
with a detergent; avoid use of solvents. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers or sewage,
inform appropriate authorities in accordance with local regulations.

7. Handling and storage

Handling : Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive
mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in
air and avoid vapour concentration higher than the occupational exposure limits.
In addition, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and other
sources of gnition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be protected to the
appropriate standard.
To dissipate static electricity during transfer, earth drum and connect to receiving container
with bonding strap. Operators should wear anti-static footwear and clothing and floors
should be of the conducting type.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. No sparking tools
should be used.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid the inhalation of dust, particulates and spray mist
arising from the application of this preparation. Avoid inhalation of dust from sanding.
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in area where this material is handled,
stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and
smoking.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Never use pressure to empty : container is not a pressure vessel. Always keep in containers
of same material as the original one.
Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
When operators, whether spraying or not, have to work inside the spray booth, ventilation is
unlikely to be sufficient to control particulates and solvent vapour in all cases. In such
circumstances they should wear a compressed air-fed respirator during the spraying
process and until such time as the particulates and solvent vapour concentration has fallen
below the exposure limits.
Storage : Store in accordance with local regulations. Observe label precautions. Store in a cool,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials and ignition sources.
Keep away from: oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong acids.
No smoking. Prevent unauthorised access. Containers which are opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Do not empty into drains..

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Engineering measures : Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the
use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to
maintain concentrations of particulates and solvent vapour below the OEL, suitable respiratory
protection must be worn.

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory system : If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate,
certified respirators. Use respiratory mask with charcoal and dust filter when spraying this
product(as filter combination A2-P2).In confined spaces use compressed air or fresh air
respiratory equipment.When use of roller or brush, consider use of charcoalfilter (A2).
Skin and body : Personnel should wear anti-static clothing made of natural fibre or of high temperature
resistant synthetic fibre.
Hands : For prolonged or repeated handling, use gloves: polyvinyl alcohol or nitrile.
: Barrier creams may help to protect the exposed areas of the skin, they should however not
be applied once exposure has occurred.
For right choice of glove materials, with focus on chemical resistance and time of penetration,
seek advice by the supplier of chemical resistant gloves.
Eyes : Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.

11. Toxicological information

General : There are no data available on the preparation itself. The preparation has been assessed
following the conventional method of the Dangerous Preparations Directive 1999/45/EC and
classified for toxicological hazards accordingly. See Chapters 2 and 15 for details.
: Based on the properties of the epoxy constituent(s) and considering toxicological data on
similar preparations, this preparation may be a skin sensitiser and an irritant. It contains
low molecular epoxy constituents which are irritating to eyes, mucous membrane and skin.
Repeated skin contact may lead to irritation and to sensitisation, possible with cross-
sensitisation to other epoxies. Skin contact with the preparation and exposure to spray
mist and vapour should be avoided.

Skin Contact : Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause removal of natural
fat from the skin resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin.

Eye Contact : The liquid splashed in the eyes may cause irritation and reversible damage.

Ingestion : Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness,
drowsiness and in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
