Wear proper protection (goggles, gloves, safety shoes, and working uniforms). If allowed to come into contact with the eyes, latex may cause inflammation, itching, or damage to the cornea. Latex may cause inflammation or itching if allowed to contact the skin. 2. Ventilation systems, hand washers and eye washers are required. (1)Latex are water soluble and are not volatile at n o r m a l t e m p e r a t u r e s . H o w eve r, i f y o u experience nausea from inhal-ing the odor of a latex, move into a different room for fresh air. 3. Do not drain or discard latex into a river. Do not try to clean or remove spilled latex with water; this will only further diffuse the latex. Spilled latex are environmental pollutants with harmful affects on animals, plants, and drinking water. Promptly contact the proper authorities for an appropriate action in the event latex and latex compounds leak into restricted areas. 4. Exercise caution when handling latex in unusual operations or conditions. Instructions provided in this catalog are only intended for normal uses. (2)If latex come into contact with the skin or the eyes, wash the affected area thoroughly. (3)If latex and latex compound are taken into your mouth, rinse your mouth thoroughly and seek professional assistance. 〈Storage〉 1. Store latex in tightly sealed containers. Exposure to air may result in the formation of a film or emulsion, or be decomposed by bacteria. 2. Store latex at tem-peratures between 5°C ~ 40°C. Exposure to direct sunlight may cause the formation of film or alter the viscosity due to the high temperatures. Latex become unusable when frozen. 13 LATEX 3. Latex stored for long periods of time must be stirred and filtered before use. Stirring helps redistribute uneven, settled latex, which have a large specific grav-ity. Filtering latex break up coagulation, emulsion and films. 4. Containers for storing latex must always be used. When storing latex in con-tainers, other than those originally supplied by the manufacturer, use stainless steel with corrosion resistant glass or resin linings.
