Advice on protection against : Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in
fire and explosion air and avoid vapour concentration higher than the occupational exposure
limits. When transferring from one container to another apply earthing
measures and use conductive hose material. No sparking tools should be
used. Operators should wear anti-static footwear and clothing and floors
should be of the conducting type. Isolate from sources of heat, sparks and
open flame. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which
might cause ignition of organic vapours). The product should only be used in
areas from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition have been
excluded. No smoking. The accumulation of contaminated rags and dry
overspray, particularly in spray booth filters, may result in spontaneous
combustion. Good housekeeping standards, regular safe removal of waste
materials and regular maintenance of spray booth filters will minimise the
risks of spontaneous combustion and other fire hazards.

Acute oral toxicity : May cause nausea, abdominal spasms and irritation of the mucous
membranes.
Acute inhalation toxicity : Exposure to component solvent vapours concentration in excess of the stated
occupational exposure limit may result in adverse health effects. Such as:
mucous membrane irritation, respiratory system irritation, adverse effects on
kidney, liver and central nervous system. Symptoms and signs: headache,
dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and in extreme cases loss
of consciousness.
Skin irritation : Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause removal of
natural fat from the skin resulting in desiccation of the skin. The product may
be absorbed through the skin. Repeated skin contact may lead to irritation
and to senitization, possible with cross-sensitization to other epoxies.
Eye contact : Irritating to eyes.
