SECTION 4 HEALTH HAZARDS
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Skin contact, Skin absorption, Eye contact
Symptoms of Overexposure:
Acute Inhalation: : Breathing of high vapor concentrations may produce narcosis.
Liquid may cause minor skin irritation and definite eye irritation. Causes nose and
throat irritation. Causes eye irritation. Causes skin irritation.
HDI vapors or mist at concentrations above applicable exposure limits can irritate
(burning sensation) the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs)
causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath and
reduced lung function (breathing problems). Persons with pre-existing, nonspecific
bronchial hyperactivity can respond to HDI vapors or mist at concentrations below the
exposure limits with symptoms similar to an asthma attack. Exposures well above the
limits may lead to bronchitis, bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs).
These effects are usually reversible. Chemical or hypersensitive pneumonitis with flu-
like symptoms (fever, chills) has also been reported. Solvent vapors may be irritating to

the eyes, nose and throat. Symptoms of irritation may include redness, burning, and
itching of the eyes, dryness of the throat and tightness of the chest. Other possible
symptoms of overexposure include headache, nausea, narcosis, fatigue, and loss of
appetite. Exposure to a concentration of 200 ppm Butyl Acetate (BA) can cause eye,
nose, and throat irritation. At 300 ppm, these effects can become severe.
Chronic Inhalation: Repeated overexposures or single large dose can cause certain
individuals to develop isocyanates sensitization (chemical asthma). This will cause
these individuals to react to later exposures at levels well below applicable exposure
limits. The symptoms which include chest tightness, wheezing, cough, shortness of
breath or asthmatic attack, could be immediate or delayed up to several hours after
exposure. Similar to may non-specific asthmatic responses, there are reports that the
sensitized individual can experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust, cold air or
other irritants. This increased lung sensitivity can persist for weeks and in severe cases
for several years. Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has also been reported to cause
lung damage, including decrease in lung function, which may be permanent. Chronic
overexposure to organic solvents has been associated with various neurotoxic effects
including permanent brain and nervous system damage. Symptoms include loss of
memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.
Acute Skin Contact: Isocyanates react with moisture and skin protein and may cause
irritation. Symptoms of skin irritation may be reddening, swelling, rash, scaling or
blistering. Some individuals may develop skin sensitization from skin contact. Cured
material is difficult to remove. Repeated contact with solvents can result in dry defatted
and cracked skin causing increased susceptibility to infection. Skin irritation (redness,
swelling) may develop into dermatitis. Solvents can penetrate the skin and cause
systemic effects similar to those identified under acute inhalation.
Chronic Skin Contact: Prolonged contact with isocyanates can cause reddening,
swelling, rash, scaling or blistering. In those individuals who have developed skin
sensitization, these symptoms can develop at later skin contacts exposures at levels
well below applicable limits. Chromic skin exposure to solvents may cause systemic
effects similar to those identified under chronic inhalation.
Acute Eye Contact: Liquids, aerosols and vapors of this product (isocyanates and
solvents) are irritating and can cause tearing, reddening and swelling accompanied by a
stinging sensation and/or a feeling like that of fine dust in the eyes.
Chronic Eye Contact: May result in corneal opacity (clouding of the eye surface).
Prolonged vapor contact may cause conjunctivitis.
Acute Ingestion: Can result in irritation and possible corrosive action in the mouth,
stomach tissue and digestive tract. Vomiting may cause aspiration of the solvent
resulting in chemical pneumonitis.
Chronic Ingestion: None known.
Chemical Listed as Carcinogen or Potential Carcinogen:
National Toxicology Program: No

I.A.R.C. Monographs: No
OSHA: No
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure Repeated or prolonged overexposure
to solvents could cause permanent brain & nervous system damage. Intention misuse
by deliberately concentrating & inhaling contents may be harmful or fatal. Asthma and
other respiratory disorders (bronchitis, emphysema, hyperactivity), skin allergies,
eczema and existing eye conditions can be made worse.
FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid for Eyes: Flush with clean, lukewarm water (low Pressure) for at least 15
minutes, while lifting eyelids. Refer individual to physician/ophthalmologist for immediate
follow-up.
First Aid for Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash
affected areas with soap and water. For severe exposures, get under safety shower
after removing clothing, then get medical attention. Seek medical attention if irritation
develops or persists.
First Aid for Inhalation: Move to an area free from risk of further exposure. Administer
oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain medical attention. Asthmatic-type
symptoms may develop and maybe immediate or delayed up to several hours.
Treatment is essentially symptomatic. Consult Physician.
First Aid for Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give 1 to 2 cups of milk or water to
drink. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Consult
Physician. Should vomiting occur keep head lower than hip level to prevent aspiration of
fluid into the lungs.
Note to Physician: Eyes: Stain for evidence of corneal injury. If cornea is burned, instill
antibiotic/steroid preparation frequently. Workplace vapors could produce reversible
corneal epithelial edema impairing vision. Skin: This product is a known skin sensitizer.
Treat symptomatically as for contact dermatitis or thermal burn. Ingestion: Treat
symptomatically. There is no specific antidote. Inducing vomiting is contraindicated
because of the irritating nature of the product. Inhalation: This product is a known
pulmonary sensitizer. Treatment is essentially symptomatic. An individual having a
dermal or pulmonary sensitization reaction to this material should be removed from any
further exposure to this product.

Extinguisher Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Full emergency equipment with self contained
breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn by firefighters. During
fires, HDI vapors and other highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Closed container may explode when exposed to extreme
heat or burst when contaminated with water (CO2 evolved). Solvent vapors may be
heavier than air. Stagnant air may cause vapors to accumulate and travel along the
ground to an ignition source which may result in a flashback to the source of the vapor.
Unusual Fire and Explosive Hazards: Keep containers tightly closed. Vapors may
migrate to ignition source and cause flash fire. Isolate from heat, sparks, electrical
equipment, appliances, pilot lights, flames and other sources of ignition. Flammable
liquid and vapor
SECTION 6 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND SPILL/LEAK PROCEDURES.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Store in tightly closed containers
to prevent moisture contamination. Do not reseal if contamination is suspected. Store in
temperatures between -30 F (-34 C) and 122 F (50 C). At 50 C, material may slowly
polymerize without hazard. Ideal storage temperature for ease of handling is 50-81 F
(10-27 C). Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapors or mists if
generated. Employee education and training in the safe use of this product is required
under the OSHA hazard communication standard.
Steps to be taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Evacuate nonessential
personnel. Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area. Notify appropriate
authorities if necessary. Put on protective equipment (see section 8). Dike or impound
spilled material and control further spillage if possible. Cover the spill with sawdust,
vermiculite, or other absorbent material. Pour decontamination solution (concentrated
ammonia (5%), detergent (2%), and water (93%)) over spill area and allow it to react for
at least 10 minutes. Collect material in open containers and add further amounts of
decontamination solution. Remove containers to a safe place, cover loosely, and allow
standing for 24 to 48 hours. Flush spill area with decontamination solution.
Waste Disposal Methods: Consult federal, state, and local regulations:
