COMBUSTIBLE DUST HANDLING PROCEDURES:


Combustible dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive
mixtures with air. High dust concentrations should be avoided.
Follow US NFPA Standard 654, "Standard for the Prevention of Fire
and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and
Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids," UK HSE Guidance HSG
103, approved Codes of Practice (ACOPS) established for Explosive
Atmospheres under the ATEX Directive 1999/92/EC for worker
protection and ATEX Directive 94/9/EC that regulates equipment and
protection systems used in potentially explosive atmospheres or other
national guidance on safe handling of combustible dusts. Train
workers in the recognition and prevention of hazards associated with
combustible dust in the plant.

Minimize airborne dust and eliminate all ignition sources. Keep away
from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, and flame. Establish good
housekeeping practices. Remove dust accumulations on a regular basis
by vacuuming or gentle sweeping to avoid creating dust clouds. Use
continuous suction at points of dust generation to capture and
minimize the accumulation of dusts. Particular attention should be
given to overhead and hidden horizontal surfaces to minimize the
probability of a "secondary" explosion. According to NFPA Standard
654, dust layers 1/32 in.(0.8 mm) thick can be sufficient to warrant
immediate cleaning of the area.

Control sources of static electricity. This product or the package itself

Version: 17.0 Date of issue/Date of revision: 05/30/2015 Date of previous issue: 05/30/2015
EPON™ Resin 1007F Page:6/16

can accumulate static charges, and static discharge can be a source of


ignition. Solids handling systems must be designed in accordance
with applicable NFPA standards (including 654 and 77) and other
national guidance. Do not empty directly into flammable solvents or
in the presence of flammable vapors. The operator, the packaging
container and all equipment must be grounded with electrical bonding
and grounding systems. Plastic bags and plastics cannot be grounded,
and antistatic bags do not completely protect against development of
static charges.
Advice on general occupational : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this
hygiene material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands
and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated
clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See
also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.

Conditions for safe storage, : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and
including any incompatibilities approved area. Store in original container protected from direct
sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from
incompatible materials (see section 10 of SDS) and food and drink.
Store locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from
oxidizing materials. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks and
flame. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.
Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use
appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenol - - - -
Remarks: Bisphenol A (BPA) has been extensively tested in a wide variety of toxicological
and biological tests, and has undergone many reviews internationally by a variety of
governmental agencies. Many of these studies have focused on reproductive,
developmental and endocrine endpoints. However, the human data is limited and
insufficient to evaluate reproductive toxicity. While some studies show, or claim to
show, target organ toxicity, fertility, or reproductive effects in humans; these studies
lack internal and external validity as a result of flawed study design, multiple

Version: 17.0 Date of issue/Date of revision: 05/30/2015 Date of previous issue: 05/30/2015
EPON™ Resin 1007F Page:12/16

sources of bias, and lack of control for confounding factors.

Numerous animal studies have been conducted and report a range of potential
reproductive effects from BPA exposure. Although some studies report
reproductive effects, many of these studies suffer from design flaws and reported
observations have not been confirmed in larger, more robust studies.
Comprehensive reviews of the scientific literature on BPA have focused on several
well designed animal studies as a robust foundation for assessing BPA reproductive
toxicity (e.g., NTP 1985; Ema et al. 2001; Tyl et al. 2002a, 2002b; Tyl et al. 2008;
Delclos et al. 2014). In these studies, BPA was administered to rats and/or mice by
the oral route of exposure including doses that far exceed those potentially
experienced by humans, including workers. In these studies, either no reproductive
toxicity was reported, or treatment-related reproductive effects were reported only at
doses where maternal toxicity was observed. Maternal toxicity was manifest as liver
toxicity, kidney toxicity, and overall depressions in body weight or body weight
gains. The presence of these clear toxic effects was consistent with the role of stress
and general systemic toxicity in the development of the reproductive effects at these
high doses of BPA. The authors of these studies all concluded that systemic toxicity
played a role in the observation of the reproductive effects.

By letter dated April 6, 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of
the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services reported that FDA’s National
Center of Toxicological Research (“NCTR”) “recently completed a large scale
rodent toxicity study designed to characterize potential effects of BPA in a wide
range of endpoints, including reproductive toxicity…. The results from the large
extent of reproductive, sperm and hormone parameters evaluated in the NCTR study
do not support BPA as a reproductive toxicant.”

Based on the total weight of evidence of the experimental animal data, including the
lack of robust epidemiological data for reproductive effects, well-established
pharmacokinetic data and the results of FDA’s recent large scale toxicity study and
using expert judgment, there is insufficient scientific support to associate
reproductive toxicity with BPA exposure in the absence of systemic toxicity.
Because experimental animal studies have indicated potential for reproductive
effects in association with maternal toxicity at high doses, BPA has been classified
as a Category 2 suspected human reproductive toxicant as required by OSHA.
Conclusion/Summary : Not available

General : Once sensitized, a severe allergic reaction may occur when


subsequently exposed to very low levels.
Carcinogenicity : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Mutagenicity : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Teratogenicity : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Developmental effects : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Fertility effects : Suspected of damaging fertility.
