GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TS -0 P I N 

• You must provide all information requested in this form to the extent that it is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. Make teasonable estimates if you do not 

have actual data. 

• Before you complete this form, you should read the "Instructions Manual for Premanufacture Notification" (the Instructions Manual is available from the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) Information Service by calling 202-554-1404, or faxing 202-554-5603). 

• If a user fee has been remitted for this notice (40 CFR 700.45), indicate in the boxes above the TS-user fee identification number you have generated. Remember, 

your user fee ID number must also appear on your corresponding fee remittance, which is sent to EPA, HQ Accounting Operations Branch (PM-226), P.O. 360399M, 

Pittsburgh, PA 15251-6399, Attn. TSCA User fee. 

Part I — GENERAL INFORMATION 

You must provide the currently correct Chemical Abstracts (CA) Name of the new 

chemical substance, even if you claim the identity as confidential. You may authorize 

another person to submit chemical identity information for you, but your submission will 

not be complete and the review will not begin until EPA receives this information. A 

letter in support of your submission should reference your TS user fee identification 

number. You must submit an original and two copies of this notice including all test data. 

If you claimed any information as confidential, a single sanitized copy must also be 

submitted. 

Part 11— HUMAN EXPOSURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASE 

If there are several manufacture, processing, or use operations to be described in Part II, 

sections A and B of this notice, reproduce the sections as needed. 

Part III — LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 

Attach additional sheets if there is not enough space to answer a question fully. Label 

each continuation sheet with the corresponding section heading. In Part III, list these 

attachments, any test data or other data and any optional information included in the 

notice. 

OPTIONAL INFORMATION 

You may include any information that you want EPA to consider in evaluating the new 

substance. On page I I of this form, space has been provided for you to described 

pollution prevention and recycling information you may have regarding the new 

substance. 

So-called "binding" boxes are included throughout this form for you to indicate your 

willingness to be bound to certain statements you make in this section, such as use, 

production volume, protective equipment .. . This option is intended to reduce delays 

that routinely accompany the development of consent orders or Significant New Use 

Rules. Except in the case of exemption applications (such as TMEA, LVE, LOREX) 

where certain information provided in such notification is binding on the submitter when 

the Agency approves the exemption application, checking a binding box in this notice 

does not by itself prohibit the submitter from later deviating from the information (except 

chemical identity) reported in the form. 

CONFIDENTIALITY CLAIMS 

You may claim any information in this notice as confidential. To assert a claim on the 

form, mark (X) the confidential box next to the information that you claim as 

confidential. To assert a claim in an attachment, circle or bracket the information you 

claim as confidential. If you claim information in the notices as confidential, you must 

also provide a sanitized version of the notice, (including attachments). For additional 

instructions on claiming information as confidential, read the Instructions Manual. 

Mark (x) if any information in this notice is claimed as confidential. 

TEST DATA AND OTHER DATA 

You are required to submit all test data in your possession or control and to provide a 

description of all other data known to or reasonably ascertainable by you, if these 

data are related to the health and environmental effects on the manufacture, 

processing, distribution in commerce, use, or disposal of the new chemical 

substance. Standard literature citations may be submitted for data in the open 

scientific literature. Complete test data (written in English), not summaries of data, 

must be submitted if they do not appear in the open literature.You should clearly 

identify whether test data is on the substance or on an analog. Also, the chemical 

composition of the tested material should be characterized. Following are examples 

of test data and other data. Data should be submitted according to the requirements 

of §720.50 of the Premanufacture Notification Rule (40 CFR Part 720).

OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATION 

To claim information in this section as confidential circle or bracket the specific information that you claim as confidential. 

EPA FORM 7710-25 (Rev. 5-95) Page 13 
In this section you may provide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding your efforts to reduce 

or minimize potential risks associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use and disposal 

of the PMN substance. Please include new information pertinent to pollution prevention, including source 

reduction, recycling activities and safer processes or products available due to the new chemical substance. 

Source reduction includes the reduction in the amount or toxicity of chemical wastes by technological 

modification, process and procedure modification, product reformulation, raw materials substitution, and/or 

inventory control. Recycling refers to the reclamation of useful chemical components from wastes that would 

otherwise be treated or released as air emissions or water discharges, or land disposal. Descriptions of pollution 

prevention, source reduction and recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction subsequent to compliance 

with existing regulatory requirements and can be either quantitative or qualitative. The EPA is interested in the 

information to assess overall net reductions in toxicity or environmental releases and exposures, not the shifting 

of risks to other environmental media or non-environmental areas (e.g., occupational or consumer exposure). In 

addition, information on the relative cost or performance characteristics of the PMN substance to potential 

alternatives may be provided. 

All information provided in this section will be taken into consideration during the review of this 

substance. See Instructions Manual and Pollution Prevention Guidance manual for guidance and 

examples. 

Describe the expected net benefits, such as (1) an overall reduction in risk to human health or the environment; (2) a reduction in the 

volume manufactured; (3) a reduction in the generation of waste materials through recycling, source reduction or other means; (4) a 

reduction in potential toxicity or human exposure and/or environmental release; (5) an increase in product performance, a decrease in 

the cost of production and/or improved operation efficiency of the new chemical substance in comparison to existing chemical 

substances used in similar application; or (6) the extent to which the new chemical substance may be a substitute for an existing 

substance that poses a greater overall risk to human health or the environment.

Your Health 

A guide to using epoxy resin based fillers 

Introduction 

Two-pack epoxy fillers are widely used for filling and fairing in the yacht industry. 

They are extremely robust and versatile products, suitable for use above and 

below the waterline. 

As with any chemicals, care should be taken whilst using these products. Always 

read the label before use. Up to date information and the relevant Safety Data 

Sheet can be found on our website. 

This brochure outlines some basic precautions to take whilst applying any epoxy 

based filler product. 

Epoxies and Amines: Health & Safety information 

Epoxy fillers are usually supplied as two components, a base and a curing agent. 

The epoxy resin is usually in the base component, and the curing agent is usually 

based on an amine, which will react with the epoxy when the two components 

are mixed. 

Epoxies do not easily pass through the skin so they are not normally toxic 

to people internally. However they are irritants and will cause red, itchy rashes. 

These can be treated with soothing cream and normally heal after about three 

days. 

Amine and amide based curing agents have similar properties as epoxies. They 

can cause irritant rashes. Some are also corrosive; they could cause skin burns. 

In certain circumstances, epoxies and amines can also have a more dangerous 

effect. If they penetrate the skin into the bloodstream and cause the production 

of antibodies. If this happens, then the person concerned will react to the 

smallest presence of epoxies or amines in the workshop and could break 

out with a severe irritant rash. 

A person sensitised to epoxies or amines should seek medical advice, but may 

be permanently restricted from working with these materials again. In such a 

case, the individual is likely to be unable to work in a building where they are used 

without having an adverse reaction. The best way to avoid any such sensitisation 

is through proper use of recommended Personal Protective Equipment. 

Irritation from material is common in the workplace if protective equipment is not 

properly worn. In contrast, actual instances of true sensitisation are relatively rare.

Mixing and application of two-pack epoxies 

Although fillers are generally a lot thicker than standard two-pack epoxy paints 

and do not splash as easily, care must still be taken to avoid direct contact with 

these materials. 

It is not enough just to avoid splashing product onto bare skin or into eyes, 

contamination of overalls, or any clothing being worn, should be avoided due 

to the risk of the materials soaking into the garments and coming into contact 

with the skin. 

The mixing and application of fillers is usually a very hands-on operation, and 

as such is physically demanding work. Due to the heavy work and the working 

conditions which may take place in hot weather and/or under tarpaulins or plastic 

sheeting, the skin can become saturated with sweat. This will allow much better 

contact with the filler and irritant rashes/sensitisation are more likely in these 

conditions. Take care in these situations to avoid contact with the fillers.

Recommended clothing / skin and eye protection 

when mixing two-pack epoxies 

• A long sleeve, long leg cotton overall (preferably a minimum of 60% cotton), 

in white for hotter climates. 

• Chemical resistant gloves with long sleeves which overlap the overalls. 

• Safety boots that are anti-static with steel toe caps and should at least cover 

the ankles. 

• Safety goggles or glasses. 

• Barrier cream should be worn to protect face skin, or else a full face mask or 

visor. Barrier cream should not be used in place of protective clothing such as 

gloves. 

• A half face respirator may also be worn to avoid the inhalation of unpleasant 

and potentially harmful vapours from some amine curing agents.

P. 30 

Sanding of cured filler 

The hazards presented by epoxy based sanding dust are much less than for the wet 

product. 

Chemically, the base and curing agent should be largely reacted with each other. 

However the dusts still contain some active materials and are potentially a health and 

safety hazard. Dust can easily coat the skin and you should therefore be protected 

against it. 

As mentioned above for application and mixing, sanding of fillers is often a hands-on 

process. Sweating caused by the heavy work can lead to dust more easily sticking 

to skin and accumulating, especially in the fold of the elbow joint. 

Fine dust particles of all sorts (eg. wood, GRP etc.), including fillers, are also 

potentially harmful if breathed into the lungs. 

Recommended clothing / skin and eye protection 

when sanding epoxy fillers 

• At the minimum, a half face respirator capable of filtering out particulate matter (like 

sanding dust). 

• A long sleeve. long leg cotton overall (preferably a minimum of 60% cotton), 

in white for hotter climates, preferably with a hood. 

• Long sleeve gloves. 

• Safety boots that are anti-static with steel toe caps and should at least cover the 

ankles (to avoid drop hazards). 

• The overall/glove and overall/boot overlaps can be sealed with tape to stop dust 

getting in. 

• Safety goggles or glasses. 

• Barrier cream should be worn to protect face skin, or else a full face mask or visor. 

Barrier cream should not be used in place of protective clothing such as gloves. 

Summary 

Epoxy based fillers are extremely useful products, offered by a large number of 

coatings companies. 

When care is taken in their use these materials can be used safely with little risk to 

the applicator.

Mixing and Reduction 

Mix 1:1 by volume (as supplied). 

Mix ratio by weight: 1.59 :1.0 D8200 : D7200 

Induction time after mixing: None 

Anticipated Pot Life at 50% RH: 

552F/ 132C : 3 hours 

75°F/ 25°C : 11/2 - 2 hours 

95°F/ 35°C : 45 mins — 1 hr 

Mix the two components thoroughly to a uniform pink colour with no streaks or lumps. 

Warning: Do not add any thinners or reducers to AWLFAIR L.W. 

Application Instructions 

Properly prepare and prime the surface with the recommended primer before starting any filling or fairing. 

Apply Awlfair L.W. by trowel to an area you can work in 20 to 30 minutes. Pot life and working time is dependent upon temperature. 

Warmer climates will decrease pot life. Start with thin coats in low areas and build out to high areas. Allow to cure. Several applications 

may be necessary to fill large areas. Block and machine sand with 36 to 60 grit paper. Remove sanding dust and residue before 

applying more Awlfair L.W. Stop when the faired surface has a uniform surface which meets the fairing quality specified for the project. 

Note: AWLFAIR L.W. must be sealed with Hullgard Epoxy Primer (D6070/D3707) when used below the waterline 

Note: AWLFAIR L.W. must be sealed with an Awlgrip Epoxy Primer such as High Build when used above the waterline. This will 

maximize gloss and colour holdout in the Awlgrip top coat system. 

Warning: 

Do not use unless mixed thoroughly with the curing agent at specified ratio. 

Do not use below 13°C/55°F or warmer than 40 2C/104°F. Proper application and/or cure results may be more difficult to achieve when 

conditions are outside this range. 

Do not thin. Do not wipe down cured filler with reducers. 

Avoid conditions of low temperature with high humidity as this can result in the formation of a surface by-product that must be removed 

by either detergent wash followed by fresh water wash or by sanding.

Awlfair L. W. Fairing compound 

This product is supplied in two packs — base and converter. These are mixed in a 1:1 volume 

ratio shortly before application. The SNUN substance is contained in only one of the packs. 

Hence the concentration of the SNUN substance is diluted following mixing to give a lower 

percentage of SNUN substance in the product during application. This lower value is 

therefore appropriate for risk assessment during the application of the filler. 

Details of the quantities of SNUN substance are as follows: 

Base: 10-13% SNUN substance 

Converter: 0% SNUN substance 

Mixed product as applied : 6-8% SNUN substance
