1. Chemical Product and Company Identification Manufacturer : Premier Coating Resins (Pvt) Ltd. Product name : Solid Epoxy Resin Chemical Family/use : Polymer Resins/ use in the manufacturing of powder coatings. Chemical Indentity : Solid epoxy resin based on epicholrohydrin and bisphenol A CAS Number : Emergency telephone number Ph: 0092-21-8202193 2. Composition/Information on Ingredients: Reaction product of epicholrohydrin(ECH) and Bisphenol-A (BPA). 3. Hazards Identification Physical State and Appearance : Solid flakes Physical hazard : Powdered material may form explosive dust-air mixtures. Slippery, can cause falls Potential Acute Health Effects - Routes of Entry : Skin, eyes and respiratory tract. - Skin contact : MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION. Contain substance (s) that may produce burns. Avoid contact with skin. - Eye Contact : May cause eye irritation. Contains substances that could cause possible burns. - Inhalation : CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT MAY CAUSE ALLEGIC RESPIRATORY TRACT REACTION. - Ingestion : Harmful if swallowed. Contain substance(s) that may cause burns to mouth, throat and stomach 4. First – Aid Measures - Skin contact : After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Wash gently the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap - Eye Contact : Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 min., keeping eyelids. open Seek immediate medical attention. - Inhalation : Remove victim from area of exposure if possible. Allow the victim to rest in a well-ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention. - Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as collar. tie, belt or waistband. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. - Advice to physicion : Low hazard material and no specific measures for health surveillance or medical management are recommended. 5. Fire Fighting Measures Extinguishing Media : SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water fog spray or alcohol resistant foam. Do not use water jet Special fire-fighting procedures : Fire fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) . Unusual fire/explosion hazards : In case of fire toxic fumes might be formed. In case of fire and/ or explosion do not breathe fumes. Containers may rupture from pressure build- up Hazardous thermal decomposition : Carbon monoxide (CO) possible where incomplete combustion occurs. Products Protection of fire-fighters : Be sure to use an approved, certified respirator or equivalent. 6. Accidental Release Measures Small spill and leak : Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Avoid breathing vapors of this product. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Keep unnecessary people away from spill area. Clean up spills immediately. Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand or spill kit). Place in suitable clean, dry containers for disposal by approved methods. Large spill and leak : Do not clean-up or dispose except under supervision of a specialist. Eliminate all ignition sources. For large spills like spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a water way. Keep unnecessary people awayfrom spill area. Follow company spill response procedures. Clean up spills immediately. Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles and face protection. Contact lenses are not protection devices. Appropriate eye protection must be worn instead of, or in conjunction with contact lenses .Wear approved self contained breathing apparatus or equivalent and full protective gear. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal Dispose off according to all federal, state and local applicable regulations. 7. Handling and Storage Handling : Danger of dust explosion, solid resins as supplied do not normally present a hazard, How ever electrostatic charges may be generated during handling for example when crushing, grinding and sewing or emptying bags. Consequently all equipments should be earthed properly. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Wash thoroughly after handling. Ground and bond containers when transferring material to prevent dust explosion. Minimize dusty generation and accumulation. Storage : The resin should be stored in the original, unopened and undamaged container in a dry place at storage temperature between 25-30˚C Exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided. Under these conditions, the resin will have a storage life of atleast one year. 8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection Occupational Exposure limits : Although no exposure limit has been established for the resin. Engineering Controls : Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep air borne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operation generate dust fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to air borne contaminants below the exposure limit. Avoid dust accumulation. Personal Protection Ventilation : Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control air borne levels. Respiratory System : Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Skin Contact : Use chemical resistant, PVC gloves, work uniform or laboratory coat. Eyes : Safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles. Other Information : Not available. 9. Physical and Chemical Properties Physical State and Appearance: Solid flakes.
10. Stability and Reactivity Stability : The product is stable under normal conditions at ambient temperature. Hazardous Polymerization : Not likely under normal conditions/ caustic can induce a vigorous polymerization at temp. around 200°C Incompatibility, conditions to avoid : Not available Materials to avoid : Strong oxidizing agents. Other information : Reacts exothermically with many hardness. 11. Toxilogical Information Routes of Entry Skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Toxilogical Acute oral toxicity (LD50) :>2000 mg/kg[ Rat]. Information Acute dermal toxicity (LD50) :> 2000 mg/kg [Rabbit] Eyes Slight Sensitization Not a skin sensitizer. 12. Ecological Information Appraisal : Not considered hazardous to the environment. 13. Disposal Considerations Waste Disposal : Any disposal should be carried out in accordance with national and local regulations e.g. in an approved incinerator, consult local authorities for detailed advice. 14. Transport Information Not dangerous by any mode of international transport. 15. Regulatory Information No labeling required. 16. Other Information Other special considerations : Not available.
