Composition / Information on Ingredients

Terpene Phenolic Resin: 100%
Main Components: Terpene hydrocarbons, synthetic phenolic oligomers
Impurities: Trace amounts of non-reacted raw materials
Hazardous Components: None by current regulatory guidelines

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air if irritation develops; seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with clean water for several minutes; seek medical attention if redness or pain continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth and drink water; seek medical advice for discomfort

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, or water fog
Fire Hazards: Dust can form explosive mixtures with air if concentration is high
Specific Hazards: Combustion produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly irritating smoke
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Advice for Firefighters: Cool exposed containers with water spray and approach upwind

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust; use gloves, goggles, and dust masks
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into water sources, sewers, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up with non-sparking tools and collect into suitable containers; ventilate area; wash spill site after material cleanup is complete
Containment: Stop further spillage at the source, barricade area if necessary

Handling and Storage

Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation; handle in a well-ventilated space; wash thoroughly after handling; keep away from heat sources and open flames
Storage: Store in original containers tightly closed in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas; keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers
Special Requirements: Use grounded systems for bulk transfer to avoid static discharge

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation if dust concentrations increase in the air
Personal Protective Equipment: Dust mask or respirator for airborne dust; chemical-resistant gloves; safety goggles; long-sleeved clothing to reduce skin contact
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits established; workplace dust limits apply
Hygiene Measures: No eating or drinking in areas of use; wash hands before breaks and after work

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Solid, yellow to light brown granules or flakes
Odor: Slightly aromatic, mild
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Melting Point: Approximately 80-120°C, depending on the grade
Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons
Flash Point: Above 220°C (closed cup)
Density: About 1.05-1.10 g/cm³ at 20°C
Auto-ignition Temperature: Above 400°C
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient temperature
pH: Not applicable

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Reactivity: Not reactive under normal handling conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, dust accumulation, open flames, contact with strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, small amounts of formaldehyde and other organics in fire
Polymerization: Will not occur in normal use

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Low oral and dermal toxicity reported in studies on similar resins; not expected to cause acute effects via typical industrial use
Skin Contact: May cause transient dryness or mild irritation in sensitive individuals
Eye Contact: Dust particles can cause mechanical irritation
Inhalation: Dust can irritate respiratory tract with prolonged or repeated exposure
Chronic Effects: No data suggests carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity
Sensitization: No sensitizing effects in typical workplace scenarios reported

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Does not show acute toxicity to aquatic organisms (fish, invertebrates, algae) at relevant concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be slowly biodegradable under natural conditions
Bioaccumulation Potential: Likely low due to high molecular weight and low solubility in water
Mobility in Soil: Limited; tends to remain where deposited
Other Adverse Effects: Large quantities may persist in the local environment if not contained

Disposal Considerations

Waste Handling: Dispose of contents in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations
Methods of Disposal: Incineration or disposal as non-hazardous industrial waste where permitted
Container Disposal: Empty container may contain product residues; triple rinse before disposal or recycling
Precautions for Disposal: Do not discharge directly into the environment; avoid incineration with other chlorinated materials
