Resin is combustible. Care should be taken during resin containment and
cleanup operations.
Caution!
A supply of dikes and control booms should be stocked so they are available to
contain the affected area in the event of a major resin spill. The spilled resin should then be
absorbed on inert absorbent material and placed into drums for transfer to an approved waste
disposal site. After cleaning up the spill, individuals should wash thoroughly with soap and cold
water. All clothing should be washed before reuse. Avoid exposure to sunlight until skin and
clothing have been cleaned of resin. Refer to the MSDS before using any chemicals. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact may cause sensitization. Vapor may be harmful.
First Aid and Protective Equipment
Skin Contact
The following paragraphs provide general first aid procedures and recommendations for protective
equipment to minimize the risks from resin exposure. If professional medical attention is necessary,
take the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
for the exact resin involved to the attending physician.
Wear 100% nitrile gloves and lab coats to avoid skin contact. Should resin come in contact with
skin, wash thoroughly with soap and
cold
water and immediately remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. If skin is irritated, get medical attention. Dry-clean contaminated clothing. Discard
contaminated shoes and leather products.
