Carbon Monoxide, aldehydes, acids and other toxic fumes. Strong mineral acids and bases, strong organic bases and strong oxidizers like liquid Chlorine and concentrated Oxygen. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Primary Route of Exposure Under Skin and eye contact. Personnel with pre-existing skin and eye disorders and skin Normal Use: allergies may be aggravated by exposure. Acute Effects: Chronic Effects: Other Information: Moderate eye and skin irritant. May cause skin sensitization as evidence by rashes or hives. Although the significance is unknown, Epoxy resin (number average molecular weight <= 700, CAS no ) has been shown to be mutagenic in some microbial tests but has failed to show mutagenicity in others. Chromosomal aberrations were observed in cultured rat liver cells. Repeated inhalation of respirable free silica may cause scarring of the lungs with cough and shortness of breath. Silicosis, a delayed lung injury that is a disabling, progressive and sometimes fatal pulmonary fibrosis, may result. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) have classified inhaled silica as a human carcinogen. Based on recent 2-year mice skin painting studies and other available information, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded that they did not have enough information to classify Epoxy resin (number average molecular weight <= 700, CAS no ). 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicological data have not been determined specifically for this product. The information given below is based on a knowledge of the components and the ecotoxicology of similar substances. Mobility: Degradability: Accumulation: Ecotoxicity: Insoluble in water. In determining environmental mobility, consider the product's physical and chemical properties (see Section 9). Epoxy resin (number average molecular weight <= 700): if product enters soil, it will be mobile and may contaminate groundwater. Unreacted components (Parts A and B), improperly released to the environment, can cause ground and water pollution. Epoxy resin (number average molecular weight <= 700): not readily biodegradable. Epoxy resin (number average molecular weight <= 700): may bioaccumulate in fish and aquatic organisms. Epoxy resin (number average molecular weight <= 700) is toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Combine resin and curative. The final cured material is considered nonhazardous. Landfill sealed containers in an approved area. Unreacted components are a special waste. Check local, state and national/federal regulations and comply with the most stringent requirement. EWC-code: A.W. Chesterton Co., 2007 All Rights Reserved. Reg. US Patent and TM Office Page 3 of 5
