Irritant; allergic sensitizer. Severe eye irritant.
Skin: This material is a severe skin irritant. Causes irritation seen as local redness and
possible swelling. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause sensitization and an
allergic skin reaction.
Inhalation: Inhalation would be expected to cause irritation of the nose, mouth, throat and lungs.
Inhalation may cause asthma-like symptoms, including coughing, wheezing,
tightness of chest, shortness of breath, and headache.
Eye: May result in severe irritation and possible damage to the cornea and impairment of
vision. The effects of high vapor concentration may vary from slight irritation (with
tearing and a burning sensation) to keratitis (Inflammation of the cornea) and
impairment of vision.
Ingestion: Ingestion not a likely route of exposure. Ingestion may result in irritation of the
mouth and digestive tract. Gastroenteritis may result with any or all of the following
symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache.
MSDS A-1450 2
Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure to vapors may cause lung damage. Repeated over
exposure to isocyanates and high one time accidental exposures have been associated
with gradual decrease in lung function. Repeated inhalation also may cause allerlgic
sensitization of the respiratory tract, resulting in coughing, wheezing, shortness of
breath, chest tightness, and other asthma-like symptoms that may be life-threatening.
Repeated skin contact may cause irritation and allergic dermatitis.
Hexane, 1,6-diisocyanato- Hexane diisocyanate homopolymer is a skin and respiratory allergic
Homopolymer sensitizer. Sensitive individuals may exhibit skin rash, wheezing,
tightness of the chest, and difficulty breathing that may progress to
a life-threatening inability to breathe. Chronic inhalation may
cause lung damage.
Hexane, 1,6-diisocyanato- Hexane diisocyanate (HDI) is a potent skin and respiratory allergic
sensitizer. Sensitive individuals may exhibit skin rash, wheezing,
tightness of the chest, and difficulty in breathing that may progress
to a life-threatening inability to breathe. Chronic inhalation may
cause lung damage.
Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: History or presence of allergic disease. Exposure may
aggravate one or more of the following medical conditions: Asthma
or asthmatic bronchitic medical history.
IV. FIRST AID MEASURES
General: Prolonged observation may be indicated.
Inhalation: If overcome by exposure, remove victim to fresh air immediately. Call a physician.
Give oxygen or artificial respiration as needed.
Eye: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with plenty of water and continue flushing for at
least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if discomfort persists.
Skin: Remove affected clothing and wash all exposed skin area with mild soap and water,
followed by warm water rinse. Flush with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if ill effect or irritation develops. Wash clothing before wearing
again.
Ingestion: Ingestion unlikely. However, if ingested, give lukewarm water (pint or ?litre) if
victim is fully conscious and alert. Do not induce vomiting. Obtain emergency
medical attention.
Physician's Detoxification Procedures: Assess extent and severity of tissue injury by appropriate diagnostic
studies and procedures. Bronchodilators may be indicated.
SECTION V: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Classification: OSHA/NFPA Class IIIB combustible liquid.
Flash Point/Method: -169癈 (336癋) (Closed Cup)
Auto-Ignition Temperature No data available
Lower Flammable Limit No data available
Upper Flammable Limit No data available
MSDS A-1450 3
Hazardous Combustion Products: During instances of thermal decomposition or combustion, the liberation of
diisocyanate vapors and other irritating, highly toxic gases may be generated and/or released.
Special Conditions to Avoid: Vapors may be heavier than air. May travel long distances along the ground
before igniting and flashing back to vapor source. On exposure to high temperature, may decompose, releasing
toxic/flammable vapors. Heat from fire can generate flammable vapor. When mixed with air and exposed to
ignition source, vapors can burn in open or explode if confined. Fine sprays/mists may be
combustible at temperatures below normal flash point.
Extinguishing Agents:
Suitable: Carbon Dioxide. Foam. Dry chemical. Use water spray for large fires. Water to be used only in large
quantities due to reactivity. Water or foam may cause frothing. Use water spray/water fog for cooling.
Unsuitable: No additional information available.
Fire Fighting Instructions:
Protective Equipment/Clothing: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and body-covering protective
clothing.
Instructions: Fight fire from a safe distance/protected location. Extinguish all ignition sources. Do not enter
fire area without proper protection equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus. Under fire
conditions, highly hazardous fumes will be present. Blanket with fire fighting foam. Use water with care on
closed containers ?material will react with water/generate pressure/may explode/spread fire/increase risk of
burns/injuries/contact with hazardous material.
SECTION VI: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Release Response: Reactive. May release toxic materials/contaminate water supplies/create human health
hazard. Equip responders with proper protection. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and body-covering
protective clothing. Evacuate/limit access. Extinguish ignition sources; stop release; prevent flow to sewers or
public waters. Notify fire and environmental authorities. Blanket with fire fighting foam. Avoid water for
clean-up or use in large quantities due to reactivity. Impound/recover large land spill; soak u small spill with
inert solids. Use suitable disposal containers. Reacts with water. Contain/collect rapidly to minimize
dispersion. Disperse residue to reduce aquatic harm.

SECTION VII: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Conditions: All containers should be labeled to warn against exposure. Store in tightly
closed/properly vented containers with vents directed to locations removed from potential personnel exposure.
Store below 113癋 (45癈).
Handling Procedures: Handle with care. Use special care when handling/transporting samples. Handle empty
containers with care ?residue may be combustible. For industrial use only. Keep container tightly closed when
not in use. When cleaning or repairing equipment contaminated with this material, total encapsulating
impervious protective suits, gloves, and boots should be worn to prevent any contact. Material sampling
procedures should avoid vapor inhalation and skin/eye contact and only be conducted with proper protective
equipment. A positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and/or a supplied air respirator should be
used.
SECTION VIII: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust in addition to general room ventilation may be required to meet exposure
MSDS A-1450 4
limit(s).
Personal Protection:
Inhalation: If exposure can exceed the exposure limit(s), use only supplied air respirator, recommended or
approved by appropriate local, state or international agency, operated in a positive pressure mode.
Skin: Wear chemical resistant gloves such as: Nitri-knitTM. Nitrile Butyl rubber. 4HTM(PE/EVAL). Or
Neoprene. Impervious protective suit with integral or tight-fitting gloves, boots, and full head and face
protection must be worn. The equipment must be cleaned thoroughly after each use.
Eye: Eye protection, including both chemical splash goggles and face shield, must be worn when possibility
exists for eye contact due to splashing/spraying liquid, airborne particles, or vapor.
Other Hygienic Practices: Selection of appropriate personal protective equipment should be based on an
evaluation of the performance characteristics of the protective equipment relative to the task(s) to be performed,
conditions present, duration of use, and the hazards and/or potential hazards that may be encountered during
use. Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of any
potential exposure.
Recommended Work Practices: Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking,
smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly remove soiled clothing/wash thoroughly before reuse.
