First Aid for Working With Resins
In
general,
try
to
avoid
direct
contact
with
uncured
resin.
If
skin
or
eyes
comes
into
contact
with
resin,
wash
the
area
immediately
and
thoroughly
with
water,
and
follow
the
first
‐
aid
instructions
below.
Contact with
Skin
If
uncured
resin
comes
in
contact
with
skin,
wash
the
affected
area
immediately
and
thoroughly
with
soap
and
cool
water,
then
remove
contaminated
clothing.
Pay
particular
attention
to
flushing
the
hair,
ears,
nose
and
other
parts
of
the
body
that
are
not
easily
cleaned.
¾
Use
cool
water
to
prevent
skin
pores
from
opening,
so
that
the
resin
does
not
easily
penetrate
the
skin.
¾
Do
not
use
solvents
to
clean
skin.
¾
If
large
areas
of
skin
have
been
exposed
to
resin,
or
if
prolonged
contact
results
in
blisters,
seek
medical
attention.
¾
Avoid
the
accidental
transfer
of
resin
from
the
hands
to
other
areas
of
the
body,
especially
to
the
eyes.
¾
If
protective
cream
was
used,
do
not
reapply
it
until
the
skin
has
been
completely
cleansed.
Contact with
Eyes
If
uncured
resin
comes
in
contact
with
the
eyes,
flush
immediately
with
large
amounts
of
water
for
15
minutes
and
seek
medical
attention.
¾
Avoid
sunlight,
fluorescent
light,
and
other
sources
of
ultraviolet
radiation.
The
wearing
of
contact
lenses
when
working
near
resin
is
not
recommended.
If
resin
splashes
into
the
eyes
when
contact
lenses
are
worn,
immediately
remove
the
lenses
and
flush
the
eyes
with
water.
¾
Clean
and
disinfect
the
contaminated
lenses.
¾
Do
not
wear
contact
lenses
until
eye
irritation
disappears.
Ingestion
If
resin
is
swallowed,
refer
to
the
cartridge
label
for
specific
instructions.
Seek
medical
attention
immediately.
Inhalation
Resin
vapors
can
be
irritating
to
the
respiratory
system.
If
respiratory
irritation
occurs,
expose
the
victim
to
fresh
air
immediately.
¾
If
the
victim
has
stopped
breathing,
perform
artificial
respiration
or
cardiopulmonary
resuscitation.
¾
Seek
medical
attention
immediately.
¾
Keep
the

hot.
¾
Never
