------1. SUBSTANCE IDENTIFICATION RESIN FLOOR COATING - HARDENER ------2. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

CAS No. and Chemical Name % Classification Polyamine - epoxy resin adduct < 70 Xn, R22. R41 Description Polyamine epoxy adduct solution ------3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

R22 Harmful if swallowed R41 Risk of serious damage to eyes Signs and symptoms of exposure (Acute effects) Administration to eyes of test animals resulted in deaths. Material is readily absorbed through the eyes. Contact with eyes causes severe irritation and pain. Burns of the eye may cause blindness. Signs and symptoms of exposure (Possible longer term effects) Repeated and/or prolonged exposures may result in: adverse eye effects (such as conjunctivitis or corneal damage) ------4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation Move patient to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is laboured give assisted respiration (mouth-to-mouth). Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn victim’s head to a side. Assure mucous does not obstruct airway. Seek medical advice. Skin contamination Remove product and immediately flush affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash before reuse. Contaminated leather wear should be discarded. Eye contamination Hold eyelids apart and immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately. Ingestion If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. Induce vomiting or remove stomach contents by gastric suction only as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Page 1 of 4 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media Ignition will give rise to a Class B fire. In case of fire use: Water streams. Special exposure hazards (fire fighting) May generate toxic, irritating or flammable combustion products. Personnel in vacinity and downwind should be evacuated. Special fire fighting procedures Fire fighters should wear butyl rubber boots, gloves, and body suit and a self contained breathing apparatus. ------6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Precautions Wear goggles and face shield. Open enclosed spaces to outside atmosphere. Wear protective clothing, boots, gloves and eye protection. Methods for cleaning up Wear goggles and face shield. If recovery is not feasible, admix with dry soil, sand and non-reactive absorbent and place into a container or dumpster pending disposal. Transfer to containers by suction, preparatory for later disposal. Place in metal containers for recovery or disposal. Flush area with waterspray. Clean-up personnel must be equipped with self contained breathing apparatus and butyl rubber protective clothing. For large spills, recover spilled material with a vacuum truck. ------7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Spraying increases the risk of hazardous exposure. In atmospheres where the material is sprayed, workers should avoid contact with aerosols containing these resins through engineering controls, such as exhaust ventilation. Wear goggles and face shield. Do not get in eyes. Other individuals working in the vicinity of the product where exposure can occur should also be fitted with chemical splash goggles. Contaminated clothing should be properly laundered or disposed of in a manner that will not cause additional exposure. Workers should be strongly encouraged to follow good hygiene practices, such as thorough washing of hands, arms, neck and face. Storage Keep away from oxidisers. Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage and in closed containers. ------8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

US-OSHA (ACGIH) EXPOSURE LIMITS TWA STEL CEILING mg/m3 ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3 ------N/E N/E = Not established. Respiratory protection In atmospheres were the material is sprayed, workers should avoid contact with aerosols containing Epilink 660 through proper engineering controls, such as exhaust ventilation and/or proper protective equipment, such as full-face air-supplied respirators, gloves and full body protective clothing. In emergency situations use eye goggles with a full face shield. For emergency situations use self-contained breathing apparatus with pressure demand mode. Hand protection Nitrile rubber gloves. Eye protection Properly fitted chemical splash-proof goggles and a face mask must be worn. Other individuals working in the vicinity of the product where exposure could occur should also be fitted with chemical splash goggles. Workers should not contact their eyes or skin with hands contaminated with the material. In emergency situations, use eye goggles with full face shield. Skin protection Wear long sleeved clothing.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

Conditions to avoid Not applicable Materials to avoid Oxidizing agents (ie. perchlorates, nitrates etc). Reaction with peroxides may result in violent decomposition of peroxide possibly creating an explosion. Hazardous decomposition products Irritating and toxic fumes at elevated temperatures. Hazardous polymerisation Will not occur. ------11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Acute toxicity effects data Oral LD50 (rat): 511 mg/kg Dermal LD50 (rabbit): > 2000 mg/kg No deaths Inhalation LC50 (rat): no data Other data Tests with rats and rabbits to determine ocular toxicity resulted in deaths in both species at a level of 70% active ingredient. Animals died within one hour after material was placed in the eye and before eye irritation could be scored. Additional tests showed that flushing the eye within 30 seconds was not effective in preventing animal deaths. Irritation effects data Severe irritation to the eyes of a rabbit. Non irritant to the skin of a rabbit. Chronic/subchronic data No delayed, subchronic or chronic test data are known. ------12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Waste from this product may present long term environmental hazards, thus landfill disposal must be considered less acceptable than incineration. ------

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations. For example, in the UK regulations made under the Control of Pollution Act 1974, and the Environmental Act, 1990. Wear protective clothing during disposal operations. If disposal is by a waste contractor, make sure that he has sufficient information and that waste containers are properly labelled.

Handling Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Refer to Section 8 for appropriate personal protection equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Inhalation Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapour. Skin contact Avoid contact with skin or clothing. Eyes Avoid contact with eyes. Storage Keep in tightly sealed containers and store in a cool, dry place, avoiding exposure to heat, light, moisture and air.

of 4 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

EXPOSURE CONTROLS Engineering controls The following exposure control techniques may be used effectively minimise employee exposure: local exhaust ventilation, enclosed system design, process isolation and remote control in combination with appropriate use of personal protective equipment and prudent work practices. These techniques may not necessarily address all issues pertaining to your operations. We, therefore, recommend that you consult with experts of your choice to determine whether or not your programmes are adequate. If airborne contaminants are generated when the materials are heated or handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should be provided to keep air contaminant concentrations below acceptable levels. Refer to Section 2 which details specific exposure limits where applicable.

PERSONAL PROTECTION Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use approved protection equipment. Respirators should be selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air. Use goggles if contact is likely. Wear impervious gloves as required to prevent skin contact. ------9.
