Recommended monitoring procedures

If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to
determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment.
Reference should be made to appropriate monitoring standards. Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the
determination of hazardous substances will also be required.

8.2 Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls
Provide local exhaust and general ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below OSHA, ACGIH, and manufacturer
recommended exposure limits. Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant dispersion into work areas by
controlling it at its source. Use local and general exhaust ventilation to effectively remove and prevent buildup of mists/vapors/fumes
generated from the handling of this product.
Note: Local exhaust ventilation is designed to capture an emitted contaminant at or near its source, before the contaminant has a chance to
disperse into the workplace air. General exhaust ventilation, also called dilution ventilation, is different from local exhaust ventilation
because instead of capturing emissions at their source and removing them from the air, general exhaust ventilation allows the contaminant
to be emitted into the workplace air and then dilutes the concentration of the contaminant to an acceptable level (e.g., to the PEL or below).
Individual protection measures
General : Gloves must be worn for all work that may result in soiling. Apron/coveralls/protective clothing must be
worn when soiling is so great that regular work clothes do not adequately protect skin against contact
with the product. Safety eyewear should be used when there is a likelihood of exposure.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling compounds and before eating, smoking,
using lavatory, and at the end of day.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment
indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is
possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of
protection: safety glasses with side-shields.
Hand protection : Wear chemical-resistant gloves in combination with 'basic' employee training. The quality of the
chemical-resistant protective gloves must be chosen as a function of the specific workplace
concentrations and quantity of hazardous substances.
Since the actual work situation is unknown. Supplier of gloves should be contacted in order to find the
appropriate type. Below listed glove(s) should be regarded as generic advice:

Recommended: Silver Shield / 4H gloves, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Viton®

May be used: nitrile rubber
Short term exposure: neoprene rubber, butyl rubber, natural rubber (latex), polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and
the risks involved handling this product.
Wear suitable protective clothing. Always wear protective clothing when spraying.

HEMPEL'S CURING AGENT 95373

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

Respiratory protection : If working areas have insufficient ventilation, wear half or totally covering mask equipped with gas filter
of type Organic Vapor, when grinding use particle filter of type P95, P99 or P100. When spraying use a
combined filter (organic vapor / HEPA or organic vapor / P100 type). Be sure to use approved/certified
respirator or equivalent. Always wear an air-fed respirator when spraying in a continuous and
prolonged work situation (e.g. hood with supply of fresh or compressed air or a full face, powered air
purifying filter).
Protective clothing (pictograms) :

Note: Application of paint products by spraying requires additional safety precautions: Full body suit, Full face
respirator with air supplied.
Environmental exposure controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental
protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to
reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

SECTION 11: Toxicological information

11.1 Information on toxicological effects

Exposure to component solvent vapor concentrations may result in adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory
system irritation and adverse effects on the kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Solvents may cause some of the above effects by
absorption through the skin. Symptoms and signs include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and, in extreme
cases, loss of consciousness. Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause removal of natural fat from the skin, resulting
in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. If splashed in the eyes, the liquid may cause irritation and reversible
damage. Accidental swallowing may cause stomach pain. Chemical lung inflammation may occur if the product is taken into the lungs via
vomiting.
Isocyanate containing products have characteristics that include producing acute irritation and/or sensitisation when breathing, subsequent
asthmatic problems and lung contractions. Sensitised people can, as a result from this, show asthmatic symptoms with exposure to
atmospheric concentrations far below the TLV. Repeated exposures will lead to permanent damage to the respiratory system.

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1 Waste treatment methods

Disposal should be in accordance with applicable regional, national and local laws and regulations. Local regulations may be more stringent
than regional or national requirements.
The information presented below only applies to the material as supplied. The identification based on characteristic(s) or listing may not
apply if the material has been used or otherwise contaminated. It is the responsibility of the waste generator to determine the toxicity and
physical properties of the material generated to determine the proper waste identification and disposal methods in compliance with
applicable regulations.
Refer to Section 7 and Section 8 for additional handling information and protection of employees.
The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Disposal of this product, solutions and any by-products should
at all times comply with the requirements of environmental protection and waste disposal legislation and any regional local authority
requirements. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable products via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Waste should not be disposed of
untreated to the sewer unless fully compliant with the requirements of all authorities with jurisdiction. Waste packaging should be recycled.
Incineration or landfill should only be considered when recycling is not feasible. This material and its container must be disposed of in a
safe way. Care should be taken when handling emptied containers that have not been cleaned or rinsed out. Empty containers or liners
may retain some product residues. Vapor from product residues may create a highly flammable or explosive atmosphere inside the
container. Do not cut, weld or grind used containers unless they have been cleaned thoroughly internally. Avoid dispersal of spilled
material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.

SECTION 14: Transport information

Transport may take place according to national regulation or DOT for transport by road and by train, IMDG for transport by sea, IATA for Air
shipment. Refer to specific Dangerous Goods Transport requirements under 49CFR, ICAO and IATA.
