MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br />-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />' ,Dow Chemical U.S.A.* Midland, MI 48674 Emergency Phone: 517-636-4400 <br />Product Code: 19248 Page: 3 <br />Product Name: D.E.R. (R) 331 EPDXY RESIN <br />Effective Date: 06/18/90 Date Printed: 06/22/90 MSOS:000227 <br />6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA: <br />EYE: May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. <br />Corneal injury is unlikely. <br />SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged exposure not likely to cause <br />significant skin irritation. Repeated exposure may cause <br />skin irritation. Has caused allergic skin reaction in humans. <br />SKIN ABSORPTION: . A single prolonged exposure is not likely to <br />result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful <br />amounts. The L050 for skin absorption in rabbits is 20,000 <br />mg/kg. <br />INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. The oral LD50 for <br />rats is >5000 mg/kg. No hazards anticipated from swallowing <br />small amounts incidental to normal handling operations. <br />INHALATION: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. <br />SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: <br />Except for skin sensitization, repeated exposures to low <br />�- molecular weight diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A are not <br />anticipated to cause any significant adverse effects. <br />CANCER INFORMATION: <br />A poorly characterized sample of low molecular weight diglycidyl <br />ether of bisphenol A has been reported to produce skin cancer in <br />a highly sensitive strain of mice. However, high levels of im- <br />purities (including a known animal skin carcinogen) compromise <br />the validity of the findings. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A <br />that is representative of current manufacturing processes is not <br />believed to be a cancer hazard to humans. <br />TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): <br />Did not cause birth defects or other adverse effect% on the <br />fetus when pregnant rabbits were exposed by skin contact, the <br />most likely route of exposure. <br />MUTAGENICITY (EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL): <br />(Continued on Page 4) <br />(R) Indicates a Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company <br />* An Operating Unit of The Dow Chemical Company <br />0 <br />B <br />-7- <br />
