Section 4: First Aid Measures
| First Aid | Measure |
|---|---|
| Eye Contact: | In the event of eye contact immediately flush with plenty of water. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention |
| Skin Contact: | Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, and follow by washing with soap and water if available. If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment. |
| Inhalation: | Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. |
| Ingestion: | If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. If any of the following delayed signs and symptoms appear within the next 6 hours, transport to the nearest medical facility: Fever greater than 101°F (37°C), shortness of breath, chest congestion or continued coughing or wheezing. |
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
| Hazardous Decomposition Products from Combustion |
|---|
| Natural Rubber compounds are combustible and generate Carbon Monoxide and complex fumes derived from the decomposition products of Organic Accelerators, Antioxidants, Activators, Plasticisers and Process Aids. Incomplete combustion of solvent can produce Carbon Monoxide. |
| Extinguishing Media |
| Foam. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only. Do not discharge extinguishing waters into the aquatic environment. DO NOT USE A WATER JET ON OPEN SPILLAGES Mixture will float and can be re-ignited on water. The vapour is heavier than air, spreads along the ground and distant ignition is possible. There is a moderate risk of an explosion from this product if commercial quantities are involved in a fire. Firefighters should take care and appropriate precautions. Water spray may be used to cool drums involved in a fire, reducing the chances of an explosion. |
| Protective Clothing |
| In the event of fire wear self-contained breathing apparatus and a full protective suit. |
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Evacuate the spill area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.
Immediately call the Fire Brigade.
Personal protective equipment should be worn as per Section 8, with the addition of a respirator, fitted with a type A cartridge for organic vapours, if there is a build-up of vapour or mist in the spill area.
Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Absorb onto sand, vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material. If spill is too large or if absorbent material is not available, try to create a dyke to stop material spreading or going into drains or waterways. Avoid using sawdust or other combustible material. Any electrical equipment should be non-sparking. Any equipment capable of building an electrostatic charge should be electrically grounded. Sweep up and shovel or collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling or salvage, and dispose of promptly. Recycle containers wherever possible after careful cleaning. After spills, wash area preventing runoff from entering drains. If a significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency services. This material may be suitable for approved landfill. Ensure legality of disposal by consulting regulations prior to disposal.
Section 7: Handling And Storage
| Handling |
|---|
| Do not consume food when handling this product. Keep exposure to this product to a minimum, and minimise the quantities kept in work areas. Check section 8 of this SDS for details of personal protective measures, and make sure that those measures are followed. The measures detailed below under “Storage” should be followed during handling in order to minimise risks to persons using the product in the workplace. Also, avoid contact or contamination of product with incompatible materials listed in Section 10. |
| Storage |
|---|
| Store solution below 25°C. Store solution in absence of direct light. This product is a Scheduled Poison. Observe all relevant regulations regarding sale, transport and storage of this schedule of poison. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, and make sure that surrounding electrical devices and switches are suitable. Check containers periodically for leaks. Containers should be kept closed in order to minimise contamination and possible evaporation. Make sure that the product does not come into contact with substances listed under “Incompatibilities” in Section 10. If you keep more than 2500kg or L of Dangerous Goods of Packaging Group II, you may be required to licence the premises or notify your Dangerous Goods authority. If you have any doubts, we suggest you contact your Dangerous Goods authority in order to clarify your obligations. Check packaging – there may be further storage instructions on the label. |
Section 8: Exposure Controls & Personal Protection
| First Aid | Measure |
|---|---|
| Skin Protection: | Impermeable gloves should be worn, and all skin areas should be covered. |
| Eye Protection | Eye protection should be worn (goggles as a minimum). |
| Respiratory Protection: | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rubber Cement application:This product should be used in a well-ventilated area. A respirator fitted with a Type A cartridge for organic vapours should be used in less ventilated spaces. Confined spaces should be force ventilated. In the absence of occupational exposure standards for this product, it is recommended that the following are adopted: | ||||||||||||

| Vulcanisation of Dried Cement: Volatile materials may be evolved from Rubber compounds during cure and, in general, the higher the temperature the more concentrated is the fumes in the surrounding atmosphere. The composition of Rubber fume is complex but emissions from Natural Rubber compounds are known to contain Carbon Dioxide, Water, and traces of Nitrosamines and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons from some Accelerators and Petroleum based Oils and Resins. The C.O.S.H.H. regulations of 1988 state that rubber fume be contained within a maximum exposure level, M.E.L., of 0.75 mg/m3 measured by personal operator sampling, and expressed as an 8 hour time weighted average. This limit has now been reduced to 0.6 mg/m3 since January 1990. When curing Natural Rubber compounds, operate at temperatures as low as is reasonably compatible with economic throughput. Sufficient local exhaust ventilation must be provided at processing centres to ensure compliance with the regulations and the protection and safe working or process operators. | ||||||||||||

Section 10: Stability And Reactivity
| Liquid Rubber Cement | ||
|---|---|---|
| Reactivity: | This product is unlikely to react or decompose under normal storage conditions. However, if you have any doubts, contact the supplier for advice on shelf life properties. | |
| Conditions to Avoid: | This product should be kept in a cool place, preferably below 30°C. Keep containers tightly closed. Containers should be kept dry. Keep containers and surrounding areas well ventilated. Keep away from sources of sparks or ignition. Any electrical equipment in the area of this product should be flame proofed. | |
| Materials to Avoid: | Oxidising agents. | |
| Hazardous Decomposition Products: | Combustion forms carbon dioxide, and if incomplete, carbon, carbon monoxide Products and smoke. Water is also formed. This product will not undergo polymerisation reactions. | |
| Dried Cement | ||
| Apart from the onset of cure, Natural Rubber compounds are quite stable up to curing temperatures. However, after prolonged heating above these temperatures they will start to decompose, finally emitting fumes and vapours around 250°C, which are toxic and flammable. The composition of the breakdown products is complex but will contain aliphatic and aromatic oils and tars, coupled with some sulphur, and also amine, based organic compounds. | ||
