ITW Devcon
Hazardous products of combustion:
Toxic and irritating smoke.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill control:
Prevent skin and eye contact. Ventilate area.
Eliminate ignition sources.
Containment:
Construct a dike to prevent spreading. Collect
run-off water for proper disposal.
Cleanup:
Special procedures:
Using butyl rubber protective clothing and
self-contained breathing apparatus, neutralize and
reduce vapors with sodium bisulfate. Absorb
spillage on inert material and discard in closed,
nonporous containers.
Prevent product from entering streams or drinking
water supplies (notify local health authorities and
other appropriate agencies if such contamination
occurs).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling precautions:
---Avoid skin and eye contact with this hardener.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls
Ventilation:
Other engineering controls:
Local exhaust is recommended for repeated or
prolonged use, especially in confined areas.
General mechanical ventilation is usually sufficient
for occassional use.
Have emergency showers and eye wash stations
in area.
Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection:
Safety glasses with side shields or splash proof
goggles.
Skin Protection:
Chemical resistant rubber gloves (nitrile) and other
protective clothing as required to prevent skin
contact.
Respiratory protection:
None needed in normal use with proper ventilation. In poorly ventilated areas, use NIOSH-approved organic vapor
masks.
