Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
EYE Contact: Remove contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes and surrounding areas with large amounts of lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical aid.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wipe material from skin. Immediately flush area with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. In any irritation is present seek medical aid. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
INHALATION: Remove from exposure. If breathing has stopped or is difficult, administer artificial respiration or oxygen as indicated. Seek medical aid.
INGESTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. Remove any evidence of substance from patient's mouth. If victim is conscious and alert, give 8-12 ounces of water or milk. Immediately seek medical aid.
NOTE TO PHYSCIAN: Further treament may be necessary. Contact local Poison Control Center.
Fire-fighting measures
FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION: None.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, steam or water fog.
FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Solid or straigh steam water may be "ineffective:, use spray or fog. Wear complete fire service protective equipment, including full-face MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing appartus. Use water to cool fire-exposed container/structure/protect personnel.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Dust (powder) may form explosive mixture in air. Closed containers may explode or rupture when exposed to extreme heat (fire).
SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL IMPACT: ND
SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE: ND
Accidental release measures
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES (PRODUCT): Stop spill/leak if no risk involved. Stay upwind. Shovel back into original dry container or waste receptacle. Flush area with water. Contain runoff from fire control and dilution water.
Handling and storage
HANDLING: Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of dusts. Minimize generation of dust. Observe good personal hygiene practices and recommended procedures.
STORAGE: Protect from physical damage. Store in a closed, properly labeled, well-ventilated area away from possible sources of ignition.
OTHER: DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY: Not for use or storage in or around the home. Do not use until manufacturer's precautions have been read/ understood. Vacuum or wet down dust as a good housekeeping practice. Provide suitable facitilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body.

Exposure controls / personal protection
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses; chemical goggles; face shield, as necessary.
SKIN PROTECTION: Thermal protective and/or rubber gloves as required. Chemically resistant gloves with assigned protection factor (APF) of 5 such as EN374 or other equivalents should be worn if dermal exposure to resorcinol is forseen. In dusty areas wear necessary resistant protective apparel, including necessary head, hand and footwear protection.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If ventilation is inadequate to maintain personal inhlation exposures below TLV (PEL)(OEL), use appropriate MSHA/NIOSH approved respiratory protection to comply with current standards and manufacturer's "instructions" and "Warnings". If within OSHA protection factor, air purifying organic vapor cartridge/canister with particulate filter is acceptable.
VENTILATION: Provide sufficient general/local exhaust ventilation in pattern/volume to control inhalation exposures below current exposure limits and areas below explosive dust concentrations.
ACGIH - TLV - 10 ppm (45 mg/m3)
ACGIH - STEL - 20 ppm (90 mg/m3)
Stability and reactivity
Stable
COMPATIBILITY/REACTIVITY" Acid/alkaline catalyzed reaction with formaldehyde is exothermic.
Disposal considerations
Disposal methods for resorcinol include complete incineration and decomposition in activated sludge type wastewater treatmenet plants. All disposal practices should be carefully evaluated for compliance with applicable regulations.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
