Emergency Overview
Product is an White to Yellow, adhesive hardener compound. Toxic fumes and gases may be released during combustion.
Contact may cause irritation or burns to eyes and skin.
Hazard Statements
Warning! May cause allergic skin and respiratory sensitization reactions with prolonged or repeated contact. May cause
burns to the eyes and skin. May be irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory system. When adhesive resin is combined with
adhesive hardener, vapors and a moderate amount of heat may be released.
Potential Health Effects: Eyes
This product may cause severe eye irritation, including redness, swelling, pain, tearing, and chemical burns. May cause
permanent loss of vision.
Potential Health Effects: Skin
This product may cause severe skin irritation, including redness, inflammation, and chemical burns. Prolonged of repeated
skin contact may cause allergic skin sensitization reactions, resulting in rash, swelling, itching, and possibly blistering of
skin.
