=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EPOXY RESINS CAUSE IRRITATION OF SKIN
    AND EYES AND POSSIBLE DERMATITIS OR ALLERGY/SENSITIZATION. VAPORS
    COMING OFF HEATED MATERIAL MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. EPOXIES ARE
    COMMONLY MUTAGENIC TO BACTERIA. DDS  CAUSES SEVERE SKIN
    SENSITIZATION, MINOR BODY AILMENTS, BLOOD DISORDERS. FIBERS CAUSE
    MECHANICAL SKIN IRRITATION & *
Effects of Overexposure:*POSSIBLE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:MAY AGGRAVATE EXISTING ALLERGIES OR
    ENZYMES.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
    SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE FIBER SPLINTERS USING
    TWEEZERS OR A STERILE NEEDLE. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR.
    INGESTION: UNLIKLE Y TO BE A PROBLEM.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NA
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SCBA. EXOTHERMIC POLYMERIZATION MAY OCCUR.
    INCINERATION MAY GENERATE AIRBORNE CARBON FIBERS WHICH MAY CAUSE
    ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:PICK UP AND USE UNCONTAMINATED MATERIAL.
    CONTAMINATED MATERIAL SHOULD BE PICKED UP AND DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:PROTECT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AGAINST
    INFILTRATION BY HIGHLY CONDUCTIVE CARBON FIBERS. STORE AT OR BELOW
    10 DEG F.
Other Precautions:HAZARDOUS OR NUISANCE MATERIALS MAY BE RELEASED AS
    DUSTS WHEN MACHINING CURED PRODUCTS.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============
