Section 3: Composition/information on ingredients
3.1. Substances
Chemical identity: DVB 80
Contains: Reaction mass of Divinylbenzene (80% w/w) and ethylvinylbenzene (18%) . The
reaction mass has been classified as shown in section 2. The substance contains
0.1% of 4-tert-Butylcatechol as a stabiliser.
Section 4: First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
Skin contact: Wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. Remove all contaminated clothes
and footwear immediately unless stuck to skin. Drench the affected skin with
running water for 10 minutes or longer if substance is still on skin.
Eye contact: Bathe the eye with running water for 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Consult a doctor.
Inhalation: Remove casualty from exposure ensuring one's own safety whilst doing so. If
unconscious, check for breathing and apply artificial respiration if necessary.
Consult a doctor. If unconscious and breathing is OK, place in the recovery
position.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Skin contact: There may be irritation and redness at the site of contact.
Eye contact: There may be irritation and pain.

throat.
Inhalation: There may be irritation of the throat with a feeling of tightness in the chest.
Delayed / immediate effects: Immediate effects can be expected after short-term exposure.
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Immediate / special treatment: Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. In case of shortness of
breath, give oxygen. A decontamination shower should be available on the
premises. Eye bathing equipment should be available on the premises.
Section 5: Fire-fighting measures

5.3. Advice for fire-fighters
Advice for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear protective clothing to prevent
contact with skin and eyes. Contain fire water if possible.
Section 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions: Refer to section 8 of SDS for personal protection details. Eliminate all sources of
ignition. If outside do not approach from downwind. Mark out the contaminated area
with signs and prevent access to unauthorised personnel. Mechanically ventilate
the spillage area whilst avoiding the formation of explosive concentrations - see
section 9 of SDS. Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective clothing
- see section 8 of SDS.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into drains or rivers. Contain the spillage using bunding. Inform
the authorities in case of spillage entering the sewers or water courses.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Clean-up procedures: Absorb into dry earth or sand. Avoid all incompatible materials in clean-up
procedure - see section 10 of SDS. Transfer to a closable, labelled salvage
container for disposal by an appropriate method. Refer to section 13 of SDS for
suitable method of disposal.
6.4. Reference to other sections
Reference to other sections: Refer to section 8 of SDS. Refer to section 13 of SDS.
Section 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Handling requirements: Ensure there is sufficient ventilation of the area. Avoid the formation or spread of
mists in the air. Earth any equipment used in handling. Smoking is forbidden. Do
not handle in a confined space.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage conditions: Store in cool, well ventilated area. Keep away from direct sunlight. Maintain
