Consult physician if irritation develops. Flush eyes for at least 15 minutes with large amounts of water. Consult physician if irritation develops. Do not induce vomiting. Contact physician immediately. Treat symptoms. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Methods: Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Special Fire Fighting Measures: Flammability Classification: Carbon Dioxide, dry chemical, foam or water fog Cool exposed containers with water. Recommend Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus. HAZCHEM Emergency Action Code: 2 Z 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions: Avoid skin contact. Utilize exposure controls and personal protection as specified in Section 8. Environmental Precautions: Methods of Clean Up: No special precautions. Scoop up and transfer to a suitable container for disposal. Refer to section 13 for disposal advice. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Utilize exposure controls and personal protection as specified in Section 8. Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Contaminated leather including shoes cannot be decontaminated and should be discarded. Avoid creating and breathing dust during removal, drilling, grinding, sawing or sanding. Storage: Store in a cool, dry area. 8.

3 Respiratory Protection: Ventilation: Protective Gloves: Eye Protection: Other: Not normally needed. If needed, use an approved particulate dust respirator. No special requirements. If necessary, provide adequate ventilation. If it is necessary to alter the final cured product such that dust may be generated, use adequate dust extraction or damp down. Chemical resistant gloves (e.g., butyl rubber or neoprene) Safety goggles. Impervious clothing as necessary to prevent skin contact. 9.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Stability: Hazardous Polymerization: Hazardous Decomposition Products: Conditions to Avoid: Materials to Avoid: Stable Will not occur. 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 who smoke tobacco products are generally aggravated Normal Use: by exposure to Silicon Dioxide dust. Personnel with pre-existing skin allergies may be aggravated by exposure. Acute Effects: Chronic Effects: Other Information: Moderate eye and skin irritant. May cause skin sensitization as evidenced by rashes or hives. 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 ).
