CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTIONS

ISAMITE is a highly flammable and potentially hazardous substance. Therefore, when working with ISAMITE, it is essential to follow strict safety protocols and take necessary precautions to protect yourself and the environment. Here are detailed construction instructions for handling ISAMITE safely:

1. Pre-Construction Preparations:

Before you begin construction with ISAMITE, ensure that you have the following items and information ready:

• Safety Data Sheet (SDS): Read and understand the SDS for ISAMITE to know the potential hazards, safety precautions, and first aid measures.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety goggles, protective clothing, and respiratory protection if required.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the construction area to minimize the risk of inhaling vapors.
• Fire Safety: Have fire extinguishing equipment on hand and maintain a fire-safe construction environment.
• Emergency Response: Familiarize yourself with the emergency telephone numbers and nearby medical facilities as listed in the SDS.
• Safe Storage: Store ISAMITE in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials.

2. Handling and Mixing:

• Ensure Safe Handling: Wear appropriate PPE before handling ISAMITE.
• Mixing: If required, mix ISAMITE according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Always follow the recommended mixing ratios.
• Avoid Skin Contact: Prevent skin contact with ISAMITE. In case of contact, immediately wash the affected area with plenty of water and soap.
• Eye Protection: Use safety goggles when handling ISAMITE to protect your eyes from potential splashes.
• Respiratory Protection: Use respiratory protection if ISAMITE vapors are present in high concentrations.

3. Construction and Application:

• Apply in Well-Ventilated Areas: Always apply ISAMITE in areas with good air circulation.
• Flammable Atmosphere: Ensure there are no open flames, sparks, or ignition sources in the vicinity, as ISAMITE is highly flammable.
• Avoid Contact with Clothing: ISAMITE can damage clothing. Use protective coveralls or disposable clothing to minimize the risk of contamination.
• Application Tools: Use appropriate tools for application, such as brushes, rollers, or sprayers, depending on the intended use.
• Application Surfaces: Apply ISAMITE on suitable surfaces, following the product’s specific application guidelines.
• Clean Tools: After use, clean application tools and dispose of any waste according to local regulations.

4. Emergency Procedures:

• Inhalation: If someone inhales ISAMITE vapors and experiences dizziness or drowsiness, move them to fresh air and keep them at rest. Seek medical attention immediately.
• Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, rinse the eyes with water with the eyelids open for an adequate duration and seek immediate medical attention.
• Skin Contact: If ISAMITE comes into contact with the skin, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and dispose of it safely.
• Ingestion: If someone swallows, do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention and provide the SDS for the product.
• Fire Emergency: In case of a fire, use water to extinguish the flames. Evacuate the area if necessary.

5. Waste Disposal:

• Dispose of any waste generated during construction according to local, state, and federal regulations. Contact an authorized waste disposal service for guidance.
