Acute Health Effects

May cause eye and skin irritation.

Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Inhalation may cause irritation of the respiratory tract and mucous membranes.

Chronic Health Effects

N-METHYL PYRROLIDONE (NMP) has been shown to produce reproductive and

developmental effects at very high, maternally toxic doses, in experimental animals.

These observations are not thought to be relevant to occupational usage of NMP.

Signs/Symptoms of Exposure

Irritation.

Routes of Exposure/Entry

Eyes, skin contact, inhalation, ingestion.

Target Organs

Eyes, respiratory tract, reproductive system, skin.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure

Pre-existing skin problems may be aggravated by prolonged or repeated contact.

Persons with sensitive airways (e.g., asthmatics) may react to vapors.

Carcinogenic Status

The components of this mixture are not known to be listed or regulated by IARC, NTP,

OSHA or ACGIH.



Section VI ?First Aid Measures



If irritation or other symptoms (as noted above) occur or persist from any route of

exposure, remove the affected individual from the area: see a physician/get medical

attention.

Eye Contact

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of clean water for an extended time, not less than five

(5) minutes. Flush longer if there is any indication of residual chemical in the eye.

Ensure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers and roll eyes

in a circular motion.

Skin Contact

Wash the affected area thoroughly with plenty of water and soap.

inhalation

If affected, remove to fresh air.

If not breathing, give artificial respiration.

Ingestion

Get medical attention immediately.



Section VII - Reactivity Data

Stability:                          This product is stable.

Hazardous Polymerization:           Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Conditions to Avoid

Do not freeze.

Incompatibility with other materials

Acidic conditions will cause the urethane resin to precipitate out of solution.

Hazardous Decomposition Products

Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen.



Section VIII - Spill or Leak Procedures



Containment Techniques

Contain spill.

If spilled in an enclosed area, ventilate.

Clean-Up Techniques

Wear proper personal protective clothing and equipment. Do not flush liquid into public

sewer, water systems or surface waters. Soak up large spill residue and small spills with

an inert absorbent. Place into labeled, closed container; store in safe location to await

disposal. Wash the spill area with soap and water.

Change contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.



Section IX ?Exposure Controls / Personal Protection



Engineering Controls

Always provide effective general and, when necessary, local exhaust ventilation to draw

spray, aerosol, fume, mist and vapor away from workers to prevent routine inhalation.

Ventilation must be adequate to maintain the ambient workplace atmosphere below the

exposure limit(s)outlined in the MSDS. Ventilation guidelines/techniques may be found

in publications such as Industrial Ventilation: American Conference of Governmental

Industrial Hygienists, 1330 Kemper Meadow Drive, Cincinnati, OH, 45240-1634, USA.

Eye/Face Protection

Wear eye protection.

Skin Protection

Wear chemical resistant (impervious) gloves.

Respiratory Protection

Wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA (e.g., an organic vapor respirator, a full

face air purifying respirator for organic vapors, or a self-contained breathing apparatus)

whenever exposure to aerosol, mist, spray, fume or vapor exceed the exposure limit(s) of

any chemical substance listed in this MSDS.

Use respirator in accordance with manufacturer's use limitations and

OSHA standard 1910.134 (29CFR).

Section X ?Toxicological Information

    Route               Species                    Exposure and Dose



n-Methyl pyrrolidone

    Oral                Rat, adult                 LD50 4200. mg/kg

    Skin                Rabbit, adult              LD50 8000. mg/kg



1,2 Propanediol

     Oral              Rat, adult                 LD50 20 gm/kg

     Skin              Rabbit, adult              LD 50 20800mg/kg



N-METHYL PYRROLIDONE: Human experience has demonstrated redness, cracking

and blistering through repeated or prolonged contact. NMP was reported to be fetotoxic

and to increase skeletal abnormalities when administered dermally to rats during

gestation at very high, maternally toxic doses. NMP was not fetotoxic or teratogenic in

rats exposed to NMP vapors up to 0.36 mg/L during gestation (Fund. and Appl. Tox.

9:222-235, 1987). NMP has been reported to cause aneuploidy in saccharomyces, but is

not mutagenic in the Ames test (Env. and Molec. Mut 11(1)31-40, 1988).



Section XI ?Handling and Storage



Handling

Avoid eye contact.

Avoid repeated or prolonged skin contact.

Avoid inhalation of aerosol, mist, spray, fume or vapor.

Avoid drinking, tasting, swallowing or ingesting this product.

Wash thoroughly after handling this product. Always wash up before eating, smoking or

using the facilities.

Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in the work area.

Use under well-ventilated conditions.

Under normal conditions of use, curing (heating) of this polymer may generate a small

amount of dimethyl ethanol amine. Substrates coated or impregnated with this polymer

can emit dimethyl ethanol amine until the polymer is fully reacted.

Storage

Do not store in open, unlabeled or mislabeled containers.

Do not allow product to freeze.

Do not puncture or stack drums.

Keep container closed when not in use.

Do not reuse empty container without commercial cleaning or reconditioning.
