3.	HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Adverse health effects Irritating to eyes and skin. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Adverse environmental effects Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

4.

FIRST AID MEASURES General information In general, if you are in any doubt or if the symptoms persist, seek medical advice. NEVER give an unconscious person anything to eat or drink. Inhalation Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice. Skin Take off contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash the skin carefully for several minutes with soap and water. Never use an organic solvent. Eyes Remove any contact lenses and flush with plenty of soft, clean water for at least 10 minutes, keeping the eyelids wide apart. Seek medical advice as soon as possible. Ingestion If swallowed, rinse the mouth with water and drink large quantities of water or milk. Never induce vomiting. Seek medical advice.

5.

FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media Chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand, foam or water spray. Specific hazards Fire produces toxic fumes. If the preparation is subjected to high temperatures, harmful products of decomposition can be released, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, vapours and nitrogen oxide. Protective equipment The people fighting the fire must be well equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus.

6.

SPILLAGE/ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Wear rubber gloves and protective goggles. Environmental precautions Spillage containing thermosetting plastic components must be dealt with and placed in a special waste container. The container must have a lid and be clearly and permanently marked with the text "Harmful waste".

7.

HANDLING AND STORAGE Advice for safe handling Handle only in well-ventilated areas. As a fine powder suspended in the air, the substance can produce a dust explosion (AFS 1981:5). Control procedures against fires Keep the container tightly closed and keep away from sources of heat, sparks and open flames. Recommended equipment and procedures Observe the safety precautions specified on the label and standard work safety rules. Do not breathe vapours. Storage Keep container tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated, frost-free place. Keep out of the reach of children. Other information The regulations regarding storage premises are applicable to workshops at which the product is handled. Epoxy product that polymerises on kneading. Read the instructions on the packaging before use. Follow the provisions of the Swedish National Board of Occupational Safety and Health on thermosetting plastics, AFS 1996:4.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Chemical identity Limit Type Aluminium metal and oxide dust, total 5 mg/m 3 NGV Aluminium metal and oxide dust, respiratable 2 mg/m 3 NGV Talc dust, total 2 mg/m 3 NGV Talc dust, respiratable 1 mg/m 3 NGV Thermosetting plastic dust 3 mg/m 3 NGV Technical measures Ensure adequate ventilation, if possible through the use of extraction equipment at the workstations and a general air extractor. Protective equipment (masks) If ventilation is sufficient, protective masks are not necessary. If a protective mask is necessary, use a P2 particle filter. Hand protection In case of prolonged or repeated contact with the hands, wear suitable protective gloves. Use gloves made of butyl rubber, natural rubber, neoprene, polyethene or PVC. Eye protection Wear approved protective goggles if use makes contact with eyes likely. The form of the product (solid compound) means the likelihood of splashes into the eyes during normal use is low.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Conditions and material to avoid: Avoid contact with oxidizing chemicals, strong acids and strong alkali. Hazardous decomposition products If the preparation is subjected to high temperatures, harmful products of decomposition can be released, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, vapours and nitrogen oxide.

11.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION General information Strongly sensitizing. May produce allergic contact eczema (up to mean molecular mass 908) on second exposure. May produce nettle rash. LD50 acute for rat >2000 mg/kg, equivalent to moderately harmful. Eye (rabbit) May irritate. Skin (rabbit) May irritate. Skin (guinea pig) May cause sensitization by skin contact. Aluminium Prolonged exposure to aluminium primarily damages the central nervous system. High exposure may cause alumiosis (A&H 1992:45, 1982:23, 1995:18). Aluminium is little absorbed by the body. Bisphenol-A-diglycidether is listed on the Swedish National Chemicals Inspectorate's observation list due suspicion of allergenic properties. Talc dust Can collect in the lungs after repeated exposure. Depleted lung function can result from occupational exposure to talc dust that is free of asbestos and silica. Asbestos and silica in talc dust can cause cancer (A&H 1992:2). Toxicity on ingestion LD50 Oral, rat Bisphenol-A-diglycidether 914 mg/kg body weight Tris-2,4,6-(dimethylaminomethyl) phenol 1200 mg/kg body weight Toxicity on skin contact LD50 Dermal, rabbit LD50 Dermal, rat Bisphenol-A-diglycidether >25200 mg/kg body weight Tris-2,4,6-(dimethylaminomethyl) phenol 1280 mg/kg body weight

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicity Large quantities of uncured product must not come into contact with surface or ground water. In accordance with the new preparation directive, 1999/45/EU, the product is classed as dangerous for the environment (N), with R-phrases R51/53 Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. No information for the product has been produced. Aluminium and aluminium compounds are considered to be the dominating reason for the death of fish in acid waters. The active aluminium compounds have shown to upset the fish's salt balance and cause suffocation since aluminium hydroxide precipitates on the gills reducing the uptake of oxygen into the blood. Aluminium is also associated with disrupting the breeding, above all eggshell thinning, of birds such as the flycatcher and other passerine that breed around lakes. Soluble aluminium compounds increase with reduced pH. Not readily degradable. The Nordic Council classes aluminium and aluminium compounds as follows: dangerous for the environment, very toxic for aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Toxic substance LC50 Fish 96h LC50 Daphnia 48h LC50 Algae 72h Aluminium 2.6 mg/l water (species: brook trout) 1.4 mg/l water (species: Magna) <0.2 mg/l water Accumulative potential BCF: 18

13.
