4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 1-2 glasses of water to drink. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
In case of inhalation due to spray mist, machining dust or dried particulate, remove source of exposure and assure that victim is breathing. If not breathing, administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Skin Contact
Immediately wipe excess material off skin with a dry cloth then wash with soap and water for at least 5 minutes.
Eye Contact
Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention, preferably with an ophthalmologist.
Other Information
Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chromic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease.

Conditions for safe storage
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards
Engineering controls
Use with adequate ventilation. Keep containers closed. Safety shower and eyewash fountain should be within direct access.
Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection
Wear chemical goggles.
Skin protection
Wear protective gloves.
Body protection
Wear body-covering protective clothing and gloves.
Respiratory protection
This product is not considered respirable in either the liquid or cured forms. However, if the cured product is polished, ground or chipped during processing, handling or use, powders may be released as airborne respirable particles. In these instances, appropriate personal protection equipment and local ventilation controls must be employed. If exposure limits are exceeded and local ventilation is unavailable, a supplied-air respirator or a self-contained NIOSH-approved dust and mist respirator is required.
