Storage & Handling

Handling

IMPORTANT : do not leave the mixing without any supervision. The exothermy discharge during the reaction on these quantities leads to an uncontrolled decomposition of the resin mixing. TOXIC SMOKES MAY APPEAR AND CAUSE PHYSICAL INJURIES. Small quantities of mixing reduce heat release. In case of uncontrolled reaction, the mixing has to be dipped into a water container.
Normal health and safety precautions should be observed when handling these products

  • Ensure good ventilation
  • Wear gloves, safety glasses and waterproof clothes.
