Potential Health Hazards

Eye: This product contains a component (s) which is eye corrosive based on animal studies.
Skin: This product contains a component (s) which is moderate skin irritant based on animal studies. This product is likely to induce sensitization in humans. A component is a known animal skin sensitizer.
Inhalation: Vapors and /or aerosols of this material will probably irritate mucous membranes, eyes, nose and respiratory passages. This product may induce respiratory allergy/sensitization asthmatic wheezing.
Ingestion: In humans, irritation or chemical burns of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach can develop following ingestion of this materials, this material is classified as slightly toxic by ingestion.

See Section 11

Section 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General First Aid Procedures

Eyes:
Immediately flush the eyes with large quantities of running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing of entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Obtain medical attention as soon as possible. Oils or ointments should not be used at this time.
Continue the flushing for additional 15 minutes if a physician is not available immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth to mouth. If breathing is labored, give oxygen. Consult medical personnel.
Skin:
Wash off skin with plenty of soap and water. If redness itching or burning sensation develops, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing and decontaminate footwear before reuse.
Ingestion:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give one or two glasses of water to drink and refer to medical personnel or take direction from either physician or a poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note to Physician:
Mucosal injury following ingestion of this potentially corrosive material contraindicates the induction of vomiting.
Medical personnel should evaluate persons with chronic pulmonary disease before those workers handle this product.

Fire fighting instructions :
Wear self- contained breathing apparatus with full face piece and protective clothing.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Heat / impurities may increase temperature/ build pressure/rupture closed containers, spreading fire, increasing risk of burns/injuries.

Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill procedures:
Wear skin, eye, and respiratory protection during clean up.
Contain spill.
Soak up material with absorbent and shovel into a chemical waste container.
Decontaminate with 1% acetic acid solution or one part white vinegar to four parts of water.

Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
Open containers of Wearmax cross linker in well ventilated areas to avoid exposure to residual propyleneimine that may have collected in the head space. Avoid breathing vapors or aerosols. Prevent Skin and eye contact. A sensitized individual should not be exposed to the product which caused the sensitization.
STORAGE:
Keep container tightly sealed. Store in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat, sources of ignition, direct sun light, and acidic materials, anhydrides and strong oxidizers.
Avoid contamination with acidic materials, heat, direct sun light, ultraviolet radiation, strong oxidizing and freezing conditions.

Section 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure guidelines:
No ACGIV TLV or OSHA PEL assigned to this product. Minimize exposure in accordance with good hygienic practice.
Engineering controls:
Use permitted ventilation adequate to maintain safe levels. Provide general dilution or local exhaust ventilation to remove solid airborne particles of over spray during spray application and to remove decomposition products during welding or flame cutting on surfaces coated with this product.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Respiratory Protection: If needed use NIOSH certified respirator for organic vapors , mists and fumes. Any person who may be exposed to this material in the form of aerosol or mist from spray operations shall, at a minimum, wear a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-approved, category 21c respirator, excluding single use or disposable types, in accordance with 30 CFR Subpart K. The respirator shall be equipped with high efficiency particulate filters for maximum protection, unless an air-supplied respirator is selected. Use of this respirator shall be according to Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulations at 29 CFR 1910.134 and 30 CFR 11, respectively. If a full-face type respirator is selected and worn, the chemical safety goggles requirement is waived during spray operations.
Protective Clothing: Take all precautions to prevent skin contact. Use gloves, arm covers and apron determined to be impervious under the conditions of use. Additional protection, such as full body suit and boots, may be required depending on conditions.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before rewearing. Wash separately from other laundry.
