Bisphenol A

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Remove contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothing. Call a Poison Centre or doctor/physician for advice. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.

Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Immediately flush skin with running water for at least 15 minutes (using soap, if available). If skin irritation or rash occurs, get medical advice/attention. Wash contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse.

Symptoms: May cause an allergic skin reaction. Dermatitis may result from prolonged or repeated exposure.

Immediately flush eyes with running water for several minutes, holding eyelids open and occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes. Immediately call a Poison Centre or doctor/physician for advice. Transport promptly to hospital or medical centre.

Symptoms: Can cause corneal burns!

Rinse mouth, then drink a glass of water. Call a Poison Centre or doctor/physician for advice.

Use fine water spray, normal foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).

Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams.

Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.

If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Keep containers cool with water spray. Dike fire-control water for later disposal.

Ensure adequate ventilation. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (if dust clouds can occur). Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid raising dust. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.

Prevent entry into drains and waterways.

Sweep or vacuum up, but avoid generating dust. Collect and seal in properly labelled containers for recovery or safe disposal (see SECTION 13).

Safety showers and eyewash fountains should be provided within the immediate work area for emergency use. Ensure adequate ventilation - Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Obtain special instructions before use. - Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Avoid dust generating and accumulation. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not ingest. Use personal protective equipment as required

Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not ingest.

Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Workplace Exposure Standards. A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment.

Handle with gloves. Recommended: Gauntlet type PVC gloves.

Wear appropriate eye protection to prevent eye contact. Recommended: Dust-tight chemical goggles.

In case of inadequate ventilation, wear respiratory protection. Recommended: Dust mask/respirator (refer to AS/NZS 1715 & 1716).

Wear appropriate personal protective clothing to avoid skin contact. Recommended: Disposable, one-piece, uncoated overalls; chemical-resistant safety shoes or boots.

Avoid release to the environment.

The material is stable under normal conditions.

Dust explosion hazard.

Hazardous polymerisation will not occur.

Avoid dust generation. Avoid exposure to heat and sources of ignition.

Incompatible/reactive with oxidising agents, strong acids, strong bases, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, combustible materials.

None expected under normal use conditions. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of Carbon.
