HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS

HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

HEALTH EFFECTS - ACUTE

Swallowed:
Will cause damage to the mucous membranes. Moderately toxic.

Eyes:
Liquid will cause burns. High concentrations of vapours will cause irritation.

Skin:
Skin contact can cause burns. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to irritation. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to dermatitic effects Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin sensitisation.

Inhaled:
High concentrations of vapour can cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract. Respiratory sensitiser.

HEALTH EFFECTS - CHRONIC

Knowledge is based on that of the constituents. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause chronic dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause asthma and skin sensitisation or other allergic responses.

FIRST AID

Swallowed:
IMMEDIATE TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL. INDUCE VOMITING: Induce vomiting by giving victim a glass of warm salty water (1 tablespoon of salt) and repeat until vomit liquid is clear. Alternatively, induce vomiting by using Ipecac Syrup (APF) or similar emetic OR by depressing back of tongue with finger.

If vomiting is not readily induced, use gastric lavage with milk and water. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Eyes:
Immediately irrigate with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Skin:
Immediately deluge skin with plenty of water while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. Wash clothing before re-use. Discard contaminated shoes and leather articles.

Inhaled:
Remove the victim to fresh air. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Recovery should be rapid after removal from exposure. Keep at rest until fully recovered. Seek medical advice if effects persist.

FIRST AID FACILITIES

Ensure that safety shower and eye wash bath are readily available.

ADVICE TO DOCTOR

Treat symptomatically.

TOXICITY DATA

Oral LD50 (rat) of phenol: 414 mg/kg

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

EXPOSURE STANDARDS

No data is available for the compounded material. The following data relates to the ingredients of the Crack Injection Epoxy AH Hardener.

Phenol :TLV-TWA : 1 ppm, 4 mg/m3. "Skin" [NOHSC:1003(1995)].

A 'skin' notation indicates that this substance will also be readily absorbed through the skin, which may be by airborne material or direct contact. The TLV is obviously invalidated if such contact should occur.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

Use in an adequately ventilated area. General factory ventilation is normally sufficient. Local exhaust ventilation will be required in confined areas or where natural ventilation is not sufficient to maintain concentrations below exposure limits. In poorly ventilated or confined areas the use of a respirator may be required.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

Wearing of the following personal protective equipment is recommended:

• Overalls or similar protective apparel;

• Safety glasses, goggles or face shield as appropriate;

• PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves.

Wash contaminated clothing and protective equipment before storing/re-using. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Avoid repeated and prolonged skin contact. Ensure that safety shower and eye wash bath area readily accessible.

FLAMMABILITY

Will burn if involved in a fire but not considered to be a significant fire risk.

ENVIRONMENT

Avoid contaminating waterways.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS

Polymerisation with considerable heat build up will occur if masses >0.5kg are mixed with epoxy resins in uncontrolled conditions. Ensure that people handling this product are not allergic (sensitive) to epoxy curing agents, amines or epoxy resins.

SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Do not store in conditions of excessive heat or cold. Keep container closed tightly when not in use.

SPILLS AND DISPOSAL

Wear appropriate protective equipment when cleaning up spillage's. Contain spillage using absorbent (soil or sand, sawdust, vermiculite, inert material). Prevent any contamination of drains or waterways. Scrape up and seal in properly labelled drums for disposal. Remove residue from contaminated areas with specific clean-up solution or use water and detergent. Observe local regulations when disposing of waste material.

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD

No unusual fire or explosion hazards.

In case of fire in the surroundings: all extinguishing agents allowed.

Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.

Hazardous decomposition products of combustion: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, soot and smoke, oxidative products of polymeric materials.

Reactivity Data:
Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents, mineral acids and epoxy resins under uncontrolled conditions.

OTHER SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION

Avoid breathing vapour if product is heated.
