Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Move containers from area if it can be done without risk. Cool fire-exposed containers with water
from the side. As in any fire, wear NIOSH/MSHA approved, pressure demand self contained
breathing apparatus and full protective gear

Section VI-Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes
Health Hazards (acute & chronic) Vapors can be irritating to nose May cause sensitization May cause permanent damage
and mucous membranes to the mouth, throat and
stomach
Carcinogenicity NTP? No IARC Monographs? No OSHA Regulated? No
Signs & Symptoms of Exposure Skin: contact may cause moderate skin irritation. In some individuals exposure may result in
allergic type symptoms causing rash, itching and hives.
Eyes: contact can cause severe irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision.
Inhalation: exposure may result in tightness or burning in chest, coughing, headache and fatigue.

Respiratory sensitivity may result in asthma like symptoms and on subsequent exposure even below
the TLV.
Ingestion: not expected to be a relevant route of exposure although it can cause gastrointestinal
irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and headache.
Chronic: one scientific study of workers reported that exposure to isocyanate type chemicals
redulted in larger declines in lung function compared to other workers. Materials are not known
mutagenic, teratogenic or reproductive health hazards.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures Inhalation: remove victim from exposure. If difficulty with breathing, administer oxygen and seek
medical assistance.
Eyes: flush eyes with cold water for a minimum of 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eye lids
throughout. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If
irritation persists seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: do not induce vomiting, get immediate medical attention, if vomiting occurs
spontaneously keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquids into lungs. Do not give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Section VIII-Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be Taken incase of Release or Spill Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Ventilate area, eliminate all sources of ignition. Wear
appropriate protective gear. Contain leak or spill, salvage, clean-up residue with absorbent
material. This product is heavier than and insoluble in water. Wash down area using a soap
solution and allow 10 minutes to react.
Waste Disposal Method Handle disposal of waste material in manner which complies with local, state, provenice and
federal regulation. Landfill if solidified, or incineration at agency approved waste-diaposal
facilities.
Precautions for Handling & Storage Store in a cool dry place.
Section IX-Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (specify type)
Ventilation Ventilation is recommended. Air movement must be designed to insure turnover at all locations in
work area to avoid build up of heavy vapors.
Personal Protective Clothing or Equipment: Do NOT wear contact lenses when working with this material. Use chemical goggles/safety glasses
with side shields and impervious gloves. Wear clothing with long sleeves and pants. In operations where mists can be generated or the
exposure limits for crystalline silica exceeded, wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved dust/fume respirator selected by a technically
qualified person for the specific work conditions. Wear respirator protection whenever airborne concentrations exceed TLV ceilings or
TWA, use NIOSHA approved respirators for listed hazard. Confined spaces, room or tanks are areas where concern for TLV's is
especially important.
Section X-Ecological Information
Marine Pollutant: not listed
Section XI-Disposal Considerations
The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Disposal should be in accordance with local, state,
provincial or national regulations. This material is not a hazardous waste under RCRA 40 CFR 261. Small quantities should be treated
with a decontaminant solution. The treated waste is not a hazardous material under RCRA 40 CFR 261. Chemical waste in even small
quantities should never be poured down drains, sewers or waterways. Empty containers should be decontaminated and either passed to
an approved drum recycler or destroyed.
