EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: dark red to brown liquid.
Warning! Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. May cause central nervous system depression. May cause
lung damage. May cause liver and kidney damage. Possible sensitizer.
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system,
liver, lungs, cardiovascular system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis, ulceration and
turbidity of the cornea.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. Exposure produces central
nervous system depression. At high concentrations, isocyanates affect
mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and may lead to fatal
pulmonary edema. Exposure to low and often even unmeasurable
isocyanate concentration results in sensitization. Can produce
delayed pulmonary edema. In rare instances, exposure may cause
sensitization, resulting in inflammation of the mucous membranes and
in eczematous eruptions.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Effects may be delayed. May cause
lung damage. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause allergic
reactions in sensitive individuals. Inhalation of product may
aggravate existing chronic repiratory problems such as asthma,
emphysema or bronchitis.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
For ingestion, the stomach sould be intubated, aspirated, and
lavaged with a slurry of activated charcoal--protect the airway from
aspiration of gastric contents. Treat symptomatically and
supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Will burn
if involved in a fire. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can
spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Runoff
from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water spray, dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Flash Point: 126 deg C ( 258.80 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0
|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with
adequate ventilation. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use process enclosure,
local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
airborne levels.
