   Resin system: thermosetting plastics

3. Hazards Identification:

   Not classified as hazardous

4. First-Aid Measures:

   In case of cut and scratch caused by the material, wash the wound with water and soap. Disinfections are useful.

5. Fire-Fighting Methods:

   All kinds of fire fighting methods are useful. In case of fire, the following hazardous components can be produced: carbon-monoxide, carbon-dioxide

6. Accidental Release Measures:

   Be inapplicable

7. Storage and Handling:

   Store in a dry place. For cutting and drilling, we recommend a suction system; take care of dust explosions.
