PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION/PROPERTIES

HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS

HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

HEALTH EFFECTS - ACUTE

Swallowed:
Slightly toxic. Ingestion can result in nausea.

Eyes:
A mild eye irritant.

Skin:
Contact with the skin may result in irritation. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to dermatitic effects. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin sensitisation.

Inhaled:
May be slightly irritant to susceptible individuals.

HEALTH EFFECTS - CHRONIC

Susceptible individuals may develop allergic reactions such as dermatitis or asthma-like symptoms on a single significant skin exposure or may become sensitised to the material on repeated contact.

FIRST AID

Swallowed:
Give water to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. Seek medical advice.

Eyes:
Immediately irrigate with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open. Seek immediate medical assistance.

Skin:
Wash skin thoroughly with plenty of soap and water. Do not use solvents. Seek medical advice if irritation or reddening occurs. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-use.

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 accessible.

ADVICE TO DOCTOR

Treat symptomatically.

TOXICITY DATA

No data available for the compounded product. Acute oral toxicity (rat) for the components of this product are each in excess of 2000 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 Resin.

Epoxy resins are made in reactions involving epichlorohydrin. Therefore it must be assumed that a very small amount of the material will remain in the final product.

Epichlorohydrin has been classified as a category 2 carcinogen (WORKSAFE, Australia). Hence it is absolutely essential that all forms of exposure are kept to a minimum by using all of the safety equipment recommended. By doing this the associated problems of sensitisation and dermatitis can be avoided.

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

Avoid skin and eye contact. Wearing of the following personal protective equipment is recommended. Safety glasses, goggles or face shield as appropriate. PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves.

The use of barrier cream is recommended.

Wash contaminated clothing and protective equipment before storing/re-using.
Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet.
Where sufficient ventilation is not available or if the risk of inhalation of spray mist exists, wear combined organic vapour/particulate respirator.

If using a respirator, ensure that the cartridges are correct for the potential air contamination and are in good working order.

If cured material made using this product is to be cut or sanded, ensure an appropriate dust mask is worn (class L, disposable).

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 amines in uncontrolled conditions.

SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store between 5ºC and 35ºC for maximum storage life. Not to be loaded with foodstuffs.

Not defined as a Dangerous Good by the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail.

SPILLS AND DISPOSAL

Wear appropriate protective equipment when handling material. Contain 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

Not flammable but will burn if involved in a fire. On burning will emit noxious fumes.
To extinguish fire use CO2, dry chemical or foam. 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 curing agents under uncontrolled conditions.

OTHER SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION

Avoid breathing vapour if product is heated.
