2 Product data (Guideline values) Modified, brominated and solvent free epoxy resin Araldite CY 8043 Viscosity at 25 C mpa s 3800 Specific gravity at 25 C g/cm³ 1.4 Flash point DIN C 186 As supplied form Hazardous decomposition products Disposal Yellow, amber or brown liquid Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other toxic gases and vapours if burned Regular procedures approved by national and/or local authorities Low viscosity, accelerated anhydride hardener Hardener HY 2919 Viscosity at 25 C mpa s 75 Specific gravity at 25 C g/cm³ 1.2 Flash point DIN C 165 As supplied form Hazardous decomposition products Disposal Clear, pale yellow or yellow liquid Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other toxic gase and vapours if burned Regular procedures approved by national and/or local authorities Storage Store the components in a dry place at C, in tightly sealed original containers. Under these conditions, the shelf life will correspond to the expiry date stated on the label. After this date, the product may be processed only after reanalysis. Partly emptied containers should be tightly closed immediately after use. For information on waste disposal and hazardous products of decomposition in the event of a fire, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for these particular products.

3 Processing The resin component should be stirred and homogenized in the original container before use. The casting mix is best prepared by heating the resin up to C before stirring in the hardener. Brief degassing of the mix under 5-10 mbar vacuum improves the mixture homogeneity and enhances the dielectric properties of the castings. This operation is essential, expecially when the product has just been heated to about 60 C to reverse crystallization. Araldite CY 8043 should be stirred thoroughly at the selected processing temperature. Stirring should then be continued, or at least repeated at intervals, throughout the entire processing operation.

6 Industrial hygiene Mandatory and recommended industrial hygiene procedures should be followed whenever our products are being handled and processed. For additional information please consult the corresponding Safety Data Sheets and the brochure Hygienic precautions for handling plastics products of Ciba (Publ. No /e). Handling precautions Safety precautions at workplace: protective clothing gloves arm protectors goggles/safety glasses respirator/dust mask Skin protection before starting work after washing Cleansing of contaminated skin Clean shop requirements Disposal of spillage Ventilation: of workshop of workplace yes essential recommended when skin contact likely yes recommended Apply barrier cream to exposed skin Apply barrier or nourishing cream Dab off with absorbent paper, wash with warm water and alkali-free soap, then dry with disposable towels. Do not use solvents Cover workbenches, etc. with light coloured paper. Use disposable beakers, etc. Soak up with sawdust or cotton waste and deposit in plastic-lined bin Renew air 3 to 5 times an hour Exhaust fans. Operatives should avoid inhaling vapours. First Aid Contamination of the eyes by resin, hardener or casting mix should be treated immediately by flushing with clean, running water for 10 to 15 minutes. A doctor should then be consulted. Material smeared or splashed on the skin should be dabbed off, and the contaminated area then washed and treated with a cleansing cream (see above). A doctor should be consulted in the event of severe irritation or burns. Contaminated clothing should be changed immediately. Anyone taken ill after inhaling vapours should be moved out of doors immediately. In all cases of doubt call for medical assistance. Ciba Specialty Chemicals Inc.
