EFFECTS OF CHRONIC (prolonged) EXPOSURE:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact can result in a rash. Breathing vapors can result in headache and irritation of the mucous membranes.
Carcinogenicity: From MSDS
Recent 2 year bioassays in mice exposed by the dermal route to epoxy resin, the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBPA), or to resins predominantly of DGEBPA have yielded very limited evidence of weak carcinogenicity. DGEBPA is a component of the resin in this product. The authors of this work concluded that the renal tumor evidence with this resin "'was of no biological significance" and that the resin "is not a systemic carcinogen when applied to the dorsal skin of CF 1 mice." IARC concluded that DGEBPA was not classifiable as a carcinogen (IARC Group 3) based on the following: Human and animal evidence both inadequate .
First Aid: From MSDS
