AIR. APPLY CPR IF NECESSARY. SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER.REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH BEFORE REUSE. INGESTION: NOT
SIGNIFICANT ROUTE OF EXPOSURE

Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER
Fire Fighting Procedures:DISSIPATE HEAT BY SPREADING MATERIAL APART AND
DOUSING WITH WATER. CONTAIN EMISSIONS USING LOCAL EXHAUST

Spill Release Procedures:PIACK UP AND DISPOSE OF PROPERLY

Handling and Storage Precautions:USE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING UNCURED
MATERIAL. AVOID SKIN CONTACT. WHEN PROCESSING AT ELEVATED
TEMPERATURES, PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO CONTROL PROCESSING
FUMES. STORE AT OR BELOW 0 DEG F

Respiratory Protection:USUALLY NOT NEEDED. WEAR A NIOSH APPROVED
RESPIRATOR IF EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED. IN ABSENCE OF ADEQUATE
GENERAL OR LOCAL VENTILATION PROVIDE NIOSH APPROVED REPIRATORS TO
MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO GASE S, VAPORS, OR PARTICULATES RELEASED
DURING LAY-UP, MOLDING OR MACHINING OPERATIONS
Ventilation:GOOD GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO CONTROL
AIRBORNE LEVELS BELOW THE LIMITS. PARTICULARLY WHER GRINDING OR
HEATING OPERATIONS OCCUR.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES AND FACE SHILE WHEN MACHINING, DRILLING,
SANDING
Other Protective Equipment:CLEAN BODY COVERING CLOTHING TO MINIMIZE
EXPOSURE
