1. Identification of the substance/preparation and of the company

Trade name:                            C-SYSTEMS EPOXY MIX 110 componente A

Chemical description::              Epoxy resin based compound

Supplier:                                  Cecchi Gustavo & C. srl

Emergency telephone number:  +39 0584/383694

 

2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

When brought into contact with the eyes, the product causes irritation that may last for over 24

hours, and upon brought into contact with the skin it causes inflammation if it is not removed

immediately.

If brought into contact with the skin, the product may cause sensitisation of the skin.

This product is a threat to the environment; it is toxic for aquatic organisms following acute

exposure.

In the long term this product may have negative effects on the aquatic environment, because it is

not easily biodegradable and/or bioaccumulable.

 

3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Hazardous components under the EEC directive 67/548 or components for which European

Community exposure values exists:

> 80 % epoxy resin (number average molecular weight <= 700)

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES

Contact with skin:

Immediately take off all contaminated clothing.

Remove the product with a cloth or absorbent paper. Do not use solvents.

Wash with plenty of water and soap.

Contact with eyes:

Wash immediately with water for at least 10 minutes.

Seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Swallowing:

The induction of vomiting and the administration of oral drugs must be carried out only upon

medical council.

Inhalation:

Ventilate the premises. The patient is to be removed immediately from the premises

contaminated and made to rest in a well ventilated area. Should the patient feel unwell,

consult a physician.

 

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Recommended extinguishers:

CO2, Foam, Chemical powders or sand. Use water based extinguishing media with caution.

Extinguishers not to be used:

None in particular.

Risks arising from combustion:

Avoid inhaling the fumes. Incomplete combustion releases toxic gases.

Protective equipment:

Use protection for the airways.

 

6. MEASURES IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL RELEASE

Measures for personal safety:

Use a mask, gloves and protective clothing.

Environmental measures:

Limit leakages with earth or sand.

If the product has flown off into a water course, into the drainage system, or has contaminated

the ground or vegetation, notify the responsible authorities.

Cleaning methods:

Rapidly collect the product. To do so, wear a mask and protective clothing.

If the product is in a liquid form, stop it from entering the drainage system.

Recover the product for re-use if possible, or for elimination in compliance with waste disposal

regulations in force. The product might, where appropriate, be absorbed by inert material.

After the product has been removed, rinse the involved area and materials with water that

must be disposed in compliance with regulations in force.

 

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling precautions:

Avoid contact with and inhalation of vapours and/or dusts. See also paragraph 8 below.

Do not eat or drink or smoke while working. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of

work. Mantain a sufficient personal care.

Incompatible materials:

Keep away from amines, strong bases, acids and strong oxidants.

Storage conditions:

Keep in a dry place, in the original containers tightly closed and avoid heat sources.

Instructions regarding storage facilities:

Avoid exposition to low temperature (T > 15°C).

 

8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Precautionary measures:

Provide adequate ventilation to the areas where the product is stored and/or handled.

Respiratory protection:

Required where ventilation/aspiration is insufficient or exposure is prolonged, or for

applications in which the product is sprayed or heated.

Protection for hands:

Use protective gloves.

For an extended exposure of the product, wear nitrile/neoprene gloves.

Eye protection:

Safety goggles.

Protection for skin:

Use clothing that provides complete protection to the skin.

Available Exposure Limits (ACGIH) for substances of section 2:

None
