Technical Details & Test Data
- Formulating
The amount of ARADUR® 3123 used in any formulation will depend on the resin and hardener used and the reactivity required. In general, when ARADUR® 3123 is used as a catalytic curing agent, 4 to 10 phr will suffice. When used as an accelerator for anhydride cured systems, concentration of 2 to 4 phr of ARADUR® 3123 is usually sufficient.
Safety & Health
- Precautions
Avoid dusty conditions. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. When poured, can generate static electricity sparks which can ignite flammable vapors or dusts. For industrial use only.
First Aid
In case of contact
Ingestion : If swallowed, immediately give at least 3-4 glasses of water, but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids again. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Get immediate medical attention. Have physician determine whether vomiting or stomach evacuation is necessary.
Skin : For skin contact, wash affected areas with plenty of water, and soap, if available, for several minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Inhalation : If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult.
Eyes : For eye contact, flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
