Section 3. Hazards Identification
Inhalation. Skin contact (absorption). Eye contact. Ingestion.
Routes of Entry:
Potential Acute Health Effects
Eyes: Liquid or spray mist may irritate eyes. Over-exposure may cause severe irritation. Inflammation of the eye
is characterized by redness, watering, and itching.
Skin: This product may irritate skin upon contact. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause skin
sensitization. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
Ingestion: Dangerous in case of ingestion. Irritation or chemical burns of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach
can develop following ingestion of this product. May cause headaches, weakness, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Even small amounts of liquid aspirated into lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may cause
mild to severe pulmonary injury and possibly death.
Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled (irritant, sensitizer). Over-exposure by inhalation of the vapors/spray mist may produce
severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. May cause
nausea, headaches and dizziness. May cause lung sensitization by inhalation. Massive exposure can
cause unconciousness or death.
Potential Chronic Health
Effects
Eyes: Repeated or prolonged contact with spray mist may produce chronic eye irritation.
Skin: Repeated skin exposure can produce local skin destruction, or dermatitis, possibly sensitization.
Ingestion: May be fatal if swallowed.
Inhalation: Repeated or prolonged inhalation of vapors/spray mist may lead to chronic respiratory irritation. May cause
sensitization by inhalation.
Sensitive individuals may develop eczema and/or asthma on inhalation of this material. However, in light of
Other chronic effects on
good industrial hygiene, exposure to any chemical should be kept to a minimum.

minutes, keeping eyelids open. DO NOT use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Wash gently and thoroughly the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Rinse with
Skin Contact
plenty of running water (15-30 minutes). If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
If the product gets onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as
Hazardous Skin Contact
possible, protecting your own hands and body. Place the person under shower. Wash gently and thoroughly
the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds,
crevices, creases and groin. Rinse with plenty of running water (15-30 minutes). Seek medical attention.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Allow the person to rest in a well ventilated area. Loosen tight clothing around the person's neck and waist. If
Inhalation
symptoms persist, seek medical advice immediately (show the label when possible).
Evacuate the person to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing around the person's neck and
Hazardous Inhalation
waist. If the person is not breathing, administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Warning: It may be dangerous
to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or
corrosive. Oxygen may be administered if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention.
DO NOT induce vomiting. Have conscious person drink several glasses of water or milk. Seek immediate

medical attention.
DO NOT induce vomiting. Have conscious person drink several glasses of water or milk. Never give an
Hazardous Ingestion
unconscious person anything to ingest. Even small amounts of liquid aspirated into lungs during ingestion or
from vomiting may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and possibly death. If breathing is difficult, administer
oxygen. If the person is not breathing, administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It may be
dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the material is toxic,
infectious or corrosive. Avoid mouth-to-mouth contact by using mouth guards or shields. Seek immediate
medical attention.

Flammable in presence of open flames and sparks.
Fire Hazards in Presence of
Various Substances
Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Not available.
Explosion Hazards in
Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: Yes.
Presence of Various
Substances
Flammable liquid, insoluble in water.
Fire Fighting Media
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemicals, CO2, soda ash or lime.
and Instructions
LARGE FIRE: Use water spray or fog. Never direct a water jet in the container in order to prevent any
splashing of the product which could cause spreading of the fire. Cool the containers with water spray or fog in
order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion. Firefighters should be equipped with self-
contained breathing apparatus to protect against toxic and irritating fumes. During a fire, isocyanate vapors
and other irritating, highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. When heated to decomposition it

ignition. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. A self-contained breathing
apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Warn personnel to move away. Stop leak if
without risk. DO NOT touch spilled material. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if
needed. Cover with WET earth, sand or other non-combustible material, or with DRY absorbent wetted with a
neutralizing solution (5% ammonia water, or 5-10% sodium carbonate in water). After 15 minutes transfer it to
waste container, or put in open drums - fill the drums half way. Do not seal - evolution of CO2 can cause
pressure build-up. Keep drums (not sealed) outside, or in safe ventilated area for a few days. After clean-up
monitor the vapors concentration. Use the neutralizing solution to decontaminate the surface and the tools.
The spilled material, clean-up residues, and spent decontamination solution are hazardous wastes. Call for
assistance on disposal.

Section 7. Handling and Storage
Keep locked up and out of reach of children. Manipulate in a well ventilated area. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
Precautions
equipment. Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapor/spray. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Contact lenses should not be worn. Keep away from
foodstuff, drinks and tobacco. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in area where this material is handled, stored and processed.
Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower are proximal to the
work-station location. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label when possible). Individuals with
respiratory problems (asthma, chronic bronchitis), or allergic to isocyanates or solvents, should avoid any contact with this product. ATTENTION:
Isocyanate vapors cannot be smelled until concentrations are well above the safe exposure limit! Ground all equipment containing material (during
handling, mixing and spraying).
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed and in a well-
Storage
ventilated place. Contains moisture sensitive material; store in a dry place. Keep away from incompatibles.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective
Engineering Controls
threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower are proximal to the work-station location. Do air monitoring
if possible.
During mixing, handling and application: Splash goggles. Full protective clothing. Gloves (impervious). Suitable respiratory equipment.
Personal Protection
When air concentrations are not known (or above the TLV), an air-supplied respirator or SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) is required.
Refer to OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134). When welding, refer to OSHA Standard (29 CFR 1926.354): Welding,
Cutting and Heating in Way of Preservative Coatings.
ATTN: Air-purifying (cartridge type) respirators are not approved for protection against isocyanates due to their low warning properties.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves (impervious). Self-contained breathing apparatus (for above TLV, or
unknown vapor concentrations), must be used to avoid inhalation af the product.
