HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview Appearance, physical form, odor: viscous liquid with little odor. CAUTION! Eye and skin irritant. Potential skin sensitizer. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Do not take internally. Wash thoroughly after handling. Potential health effects: Primary routes of exposure: Skin contact Skin absorption Eye contact Inhalation Ingestion Symptoms of acute overexposure: Skin: Eyes: Moderate irritant. Contact at elevated temperatures can cause thermal burns. May cause skin sensitization (rashes, hives). Moderate irritant. Contact at elevated temperatures can cause thermal burns. courqr0420 ITW Devcon Material Safety Data Sheet Part No. 1233 2-TON CLEAR EPOXY RESIN Page 2 Inhalation: Ingestion: The low vapor vapor pressure of the resin makes inhalation unlikely in normal use. Acute oral toxicity is low. May cause gastric distress. Effects of chronic overexposure: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization, with itching, swelling, or rashes on later exposure. Medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure: Preexisting eye and skin disorders. Development of preexisting skin or lung allergy symptoms may increase. Carcinogenicity -- OSHA regulated: No ACGIH: No National Toxicology Program: No International Agency for Research on Cancer: No Cancer-suspect constituent(s): None Other effects: See section 11. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES First aid for eyes: Flush eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes while gently holding eyelids open. Get immediate medical attention. First aid for skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and excess contaminant. Flush skin with water. Wash thoroughly with soap and warm water. Consult a physician if irritation develops. First aid for inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. First aid for ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Give two glasses of water to dilute if patient is conscious. Get medical attention. Note to physician: In general, emesis induction is unnecessary in high viscosity, low volatility products, e.g., neat epoxy resins. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing media: Water Carbon dioxide Flash Point (°F): >400 Explosive limits in air -- Lower: n/d Special firefighting procedures: Material will not burn unless preheated. Do not enter confined space without full bunker gear. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Cool fire exposed containers with water. Dry chemical Foam Alcohol foam Method: PMCC Upper: n/d Unusual fire and explosion hazards: Heating above 300 deg F in the presence of air may cause slow oxidative decomposition and above 500 deg F may cause polymerization. Hazardous products of combustion: When heated to decomposition it emits fumes of Cl- , carbon monoxide, other fumes and vapors varying in composition and toxicity. courqr0420 ITW Devcon Part No. 1233 Material Safety Data Sheet 2-TON CLEAR EPOXY RESIN Page 3 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Spill control: Containment: Avoid personal contact. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate area. Dike, contain and absorb with clay, sand or other suitable material. Cleanup: Special procedures: For large spills, pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand, or other suitable material and dispose of properly. Flush area with water to remove trace residue. Prevent spill from entering drainage/sewer systems, waterways, and surface waters. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after using and particularly before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or using toilet facilities. Launder contaminated clothing and protective gear before reuse. Discard contaminated leather articles. Handle mixed resin and hardener in accordance with the potential hazard of the curing agent used. Provide appropriate ventilation/respiratory protection against decomposition products (see Section 10) during welding/flame cutting operations and to protect against nuisance dust during sanding/grinding of cured product. Storage precautions: Store in a cool, dry area away from high temperatures and flames. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering controls Ventilation: Other engineering controls: Local exhaust ventilation is preferred although good general mechanical ventilation is usually adequate for most industrial applications. Local exhaust is recommended for confined areas. Have emergency shower and eye wash available. Personal protective equipment Eye and face protection: Skin Protection: Safety glasses with side shields. Chemical-resistant gloves and other gear as required to prevent skin contact. Respiratory protection: None required at normal handling temperatures and conditions. Use NIOSH approved organic vapor cartidges for uncured resin and dust/particle respirators during grinding/sanding operations of cured resin as exposure levels dictate. courqr0420 ITW Devcon Material Safety Data Sheet Part No. 1233 2-TON CLEAR EPOXY RESIN Page 4 9.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Acute oral effects: Acute dermal effects LD50 (rat): 11,400 mg/kg LD50 (rabbit): >20 ml/kg Oral LD50 (mouse) = 15.6 g/kg Acute inhalation effects: LC50 (rat): No deaths in saturated air Eye irritation: in 8 hours No data available. Subchronic effects Chronic effects No data available. 2-year bioassays in mice exposed by the dermal route to EPON 828, DGEBPA, or other commercial resins yielded limited evidence of weak carcinogenicity. The authors concluded that the renal tumor evidence with EPON 828 "was of no biological significance" and that the resin "is not a systemic carcinogen when applied to the dorsal skin of CF1 mice." Carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and mutagenicity: Both the resin and the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (a component of this product) have proved to be inactive when tested by In Vivo mutagenicity assays. Both have shown activity by In Vitro microbial mutagenicity screening and have produced chromosomal aberrations in cultured rat liver cells. courqr0420 ITW Devcon Material Safety Data Sheet Part No. 1233 2-TON CLEAR EPOXY RESIN Page 5 Toxicological information on hazardous chemical constituents of this product: Oral LD50 (rat) Constituent Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether resin Dermal LD50 (rabbit) Inhalation LC50 (rat, 4 hours) >20 ml/kg 30 g/kg no deaths 12.
