5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area.

including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fire fighters to wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) in confined
spaces, in oxygen deficient atmospheres or if exposed to products of decomposition. Full protective clothing is also
recommended.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding fire situation. Use foam, water spray
(fog), CO2 or dry powder. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and for large fires.
HAZCHEM CODE: None allocated [Aust]
FLAMMABILITY
This product is not flammable.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Material may be slippery when spilt. Walk cautiously. Ventilate area. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and
eye contact, as outlined in Section 8 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. Bund area using sand or soil - to prevent run

off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand, vermiculite or other inert material). Collect and seal in
properly labelled containers for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Store away from oxidising
agents. Keep containers closed when not using the product. Store in original packages as approved by manufacturer.
Purge with nitrogen and close container when not in use. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the workplace.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards
No exposure standards are available for this product, however, the following exposure standards have been assigned by
[NOHSC] to the following components of the product:
CATALYST(Below Cutoff)
No exposure standards have been assigned by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (NOHSC)
DIPHENYLMETHANE DIISOCYANATE [MDI]
(Worksafe Australia)
[TWA]0.02 mg/m?br>
[STEL]0.07 mg/m?br>
Notices: Sen
GAMMA-BUTYROLACTONE (Below Cutoff)
No exposure standards have been assigned by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (NOHSC)
Engineering Controls
Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. In most circumstances natural ventilation systems are adequate unless the
material is heated, reacted or otherwise changed in some type of chemical reaction, then the use of a local exhaust
ventilation system is recommended. If exhaust ventilation is not available or inadequate, use approved respirator to
Australian Standards.
Personal Protection Equipment
CLOTHING: Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent skin contact.
GLOVES: Wear impervious gloves to prevent skin contact - PVC or natural rubber.
EYES: Wear safety glasses with side shields, chemical goggles or face shield to protect eyes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing of vapours/gases. Select and use respirators in accordance with
AS/NZS 1715/1716. The use of a respirator for organic vapours with disposable or with replaceable filters is
recommended. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant. If entering
spaces where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other acceptable
International Standard is recommended.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No adverse health effects are expected, if the product is handled in accordance with this Material Safety Data Sheet and
the product label. Symptoms and effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are:
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:
Swallowed:
May cause irritation to mouth, throat and stomach with effects including mucous build up, irritation to the tongue and
lips and pains in the stomach, which may lead to nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Eye:
Will cause irritation to the eyes, with effects including: tearing, pain, stinging and blurred vision. Depending upon
duration of exposure, eye damage may occur.
Skin:
Will cause irritation to the skin, with effects including; Redness, itchiness, and possible dermatitis.
Inhaled:
Harmful if inhaled.
Will cause irritation to the nose, throat and respiratory system with effects including: Dizziness, headache, coughing,
loss of co-ordination and chest pains.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may lead to dermatitis.
Prolonged contact may cause severe eye irritation and some form of permanent eye damage may occur.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to irreversible damage to health.
Prolonged or repeated exposure or deliberately concentrating and inhaling the vapour(s) may result in lung function
incapacity or death.
Prolonged or repeated contact with this substance will cause sensitisation by inhalation.
Prolonged or repeated contact with this substance will cause sensitisation by skin contact.
Toxicological Data:
There is no other toxicological information available for this product.
Acute Toxicity Data:
Material Safety Data Sheet
Issue date: May 2008
Page 5 of 7
ERASPRAY ESP850 ISOCYANATE
LD50 (oral, rat) > 2000 mg/kg
LD50 (dermal, rabbit) > 2000 mg/kg
LC50 (inhalation, rat, 4hr) = 490 mg/m?(aerosol). The experimentally produced aerosol has an aerodynamic diameter
of <5祄.
Teratogenicty:
Did not cause birth defects in laboratory animals; other foetal effects occurred only at doses toxic to the mother.
Reproductive Toxicity:
No relevant information found.
Carcinogenicity:
Rats have been exposed for two years to an experimentally produced respirable aerosol of polymeric MDI, which
resulted in chronic pulmonary irritation at high concentrations. The prolonged irritation led to the formation of tumours
in the lungs of a small proportion of the rats exposed to 6 mg/m? There were no tumours at 1 mg/m?and no effects at
0.2 mg/m? In the absence of prolonged high exposure leading to chronic irritation and lung damage, it is highly
unlikely that tumours could occur, although these results reinforce the need to observe the recommended safety
precautions and occupational exposure limit when working with MDI-based products. Industrial experience in humans
has not shown any links between MDI-based products exposure and cancer development.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxity:
There is no information available for this product.
Information for Ingredient(s):
Diphenylmethane diisocyanate [MDI] generally shows low toxicity to a wide range of water and soil based species:
bacteria, algae, invertebrates, fish, earthworms, plants and birds.
Algae: EC50, 72 hour (Scenedesmus subspicatus, freshwater) = 1640 mg/L
Invertebrates: EC50, 24 hour (Daphnia magna, freshwater) >= 500 mg/L
Fish: LC0, 96 hour (Brachydanio rerio, freshwater) >= 1000 mg/L
Mobility:
The product is insoluble in water and does not disperse readily. It reacts with water forming polyurea, which is solid,
insoluble and stable in the environment to both chemical and biological attack.
Persistence / Degradability:
This substance is not persistent in the environment as it reacts with water or moisture in the air. The reaction product,
an inert, insoluble polyurea, is not readily degradable.
Chemical Fate Information:
There is limited ecological information available for this product, however, large quantities should not be discharged
into drains, sewers or waterways.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Refer to appropriate authority in your State. Dispose of material through a licensed waste contractor. Advise flammable
nature. Normally suitable for disposal by approved waste disposal agent.
