Section 1: Product Identification
Product Code: 832 (B and C) - Part A Name: Encapsulating Epoxy Kit
Use: Encapsulating and potting compound. 

Section 2: Hazardous Ingredients:
CAS#  Chemical Name  Percentage by weight  ACGIH TWA  Osha Pel  Osha Stel 
n/e reaction product of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A  85 n/e  n/e  n/e 
n/e alkyl glycidyl ether  15  n/e n/e  n/e 

Section 3: Hazards Identification
Eyes:  Non-irritating
Skin:  Prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation. May cause allergic reaction in some individuals.
Inhalation:  At room temperature, exposure to vapors is unlikely due to physical properties. Higher temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause irritation.
Ingestion:  Single dose oral toxicity is low. Amounts ingested incidental to industrial handling are not likely to cause injury; however, ingestion of large amounts may cause injury.
Chronic:  No information available.

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eyes:  Remove contact lenses. Flush with water or saline for 15 minutes. Get medical aid if symptoms persist.
Skin:  Wash skin with soap and water for 15 minutes. Get medical aid if symptoms persist. 
Inhalation:  Immediately remove from exposure to fresh air. Get medical aid if symptoms persist.
Ingestion:  Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, give 1-2 glasses of water. Get medical aid.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling:  Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not expose container to heat or flame. 
Storage:  Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from incompatible substances. 

Section 8: Exposure Controls
Routes of entry:  Eyes, ingestion, inhalation, and skin. 
Ventilation:  Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits. 
Personal Protection:  Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Use a NIOSH approved respirator when necessary.
