SECTION 3: HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry:
Inhalation: Yes Skin: Yes Ingestion: Accidental
Epoxy BR 22 Part A MSDS # MGM071A
DOCUMENT NO.: 14007 2 805-FRM011
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): May cause allergic skin reaction in susceptible individuals. May cause
sensitization with repeated or prolonged contact.
Carcinogenicity: NTP: Yes - Crystalline Silica
IARC Monographs: Yes - Crystalline Silica
OSHA Regulated: Yes - Crystalline Silica
NOTE: Overexposure to this material (or its components) may cause reproductive harm based on animal studies.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. May affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache, or nausea.
EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation.
SKIN CONTACT: May cause allergic skin reaction. May be harmful if absorbed through skin.
INGESTION: May be harmful if swallowed.
Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Overexposure may aggravate existing eye, skin, and/or
respiratory disorders.
SECTION 4: EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing give artificial
respiration. Consult a physician.
EYE CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a
physician.
SKIN CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash and thoroughly clean contaminated clothing and shoes before
reuse. Consult a physician.
INGESTION: If swallowed, consult a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SECTION 5: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point (Method Used): 165°F ( 74°C) (Estimate)
Flammable limits: LEL: NA UEL: NA
Epoxy BR 22 Part A MSDS # MGM071A
DOCUMENT NO.: 14007 3 805-FRM011
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, and vaporizing liquid type extinguishing agents have all
been found suitable for use on flammable liquid fires of moderate size. Water spray (fog) is particularly effective on
fires in flammable liquids and volatile solids having flash points above 100°F (38°C); but with liquids having flash
points above 212°F (100°C), frothing may occur.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Remove all ignition sources. Keep personnel not involved with emergency
activities away and upwind of fire. Water spray may be ineffective and may cause fire to spread. If water is used,
fog nozzles are preferable. Water may be used to cool closed containers in order to prevent pressure build up
which may result in an explosion. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: A straight stream of water will spread fire. A vapor accumulation will flash
and/or explode if ignited. Containers may burst explosively if overheated in fire. Cool containers with water, spray
or fog. Empty containers may also present a fire and/or explosion hazard due to residual vapor.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled: Remove all ignition sources. Provide adequate ventilation.
Avoid breathing vapors. Shut off source of spill if it can be done safely. Use non-sparking tools. Absorb with inert
absorbent material and dispose of properly.
SECTION 7: EXPOSURE CONTROLS -- PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection may be required if material is used in poorly ventilated areas or if
material is sprayed or heated.
Ventilation: Use with adequate ventilation. Provide general dilution or local exhaust ventilation in volume and
pattern to keep the air contaminant concentration below the applicable exposure limit of the combined components.
All application areas should be ventilated in accordance with applicable OSHA regulations.
Protective Gloves: Impervious gloves required.
Eye Protection: Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Impervious clothing and boots as needed to prevent contact. Eyewash
station and safety shower should be available.
Work / Hygienic Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling.
SECTION 8: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be taken in handling and storing: Do not store above 120°F (48.9°C). Keep container closed
and upright to prevent leakage. Store out of sunlight and away from heat, sparks, flame. Store in a well ventilated
area.
Other Precautions: Do not get in eyes. Avoid skin contact. Prevent repeated or prolonged breathing of vapors or
spray mist. Avoid contact with, or breathing of vapors during curing process.
