Extinguishing Media ?br>
Dry chemical (e.g. monoammonium, phosphate, potassium sulfate, and potassium chloride),

carbon dioxide, high expansion (proteinic) chemical foam, water spray for large fires.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Full emergencyequipment with self-contained breathing

apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn by fire fighters. During a fire, MDI

vapors and other irritating, highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or

combustion (see Section VII). At temperatures greater than 400ºF. (204ºC), polymeric MDI

can polymerize and decompose which can cause pressure build up in closed containers.

Explosive rupture is possible. Therefore, use cold water to cool fire-exposed containers.





Section V - Health Hazard Data



Route of entry: Skin contact from liquid and aerosols (spray application), inhalation.

Although MDI is low in volatility, an inhalation hazard can exist from MDI aerosols or

vapors formed during heating or spraying.



Human Effects and Symptoms of Overexposure

Acute Inhalation-MDI vapors or mist at concentrations above the TLV 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 obstruction). Persons with a preexisting, nonspecific bronchial hyperactivity can

respond to concentrations below the TLV with similar symptoms as well as an asthma attack.

Exposure well above the TLV may lead to bronchitis, bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema

(fluid in lungs). These effects are usually reversible. Chemical or hypersentitive

pneumonitis, with flu-like symptoms (e.g. fever, chills) has also been reported. Solvent

vapors may be

Human Effects and Symptoms of Overexposure Cont'd

irritating to the eyes, nose and throat. These symptoms can be delayed up to several hours

after exposure.

Chronic Inhalation- As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose,

certain individuals will develop isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma) which will cause

them to react to later exposure to isocyanate at levels well below the TLV. These 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 many

nonspecific asthmatic responses, there are reports that once sensitized, an 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 been reported to cause lung damage, including decrease in

lung function, which may be permanent. Chronic exposure 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 skin protein and moisture and can cause irritation.

Symptoms of skin irritation may be reddening, swelling, rash, scaling or blistering. Some

persons may develop skin sensitization from skin contact. Cured material is very difficult to

remove. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can result in dry, defatted and cracked skin

causing increased susceptibility to infection. In addition, skin irritation (i.e. redness,

swelling), which can develop into dermatitis.

Chronic Skin Contact- Prolonged contact with the isocyanate can cause reddening, swelling,

rash, scaling or blistering. In those who have developed a skin sensitization, these symptoms

can develop as a result of contact with very small amounts of liquid material or even as a

result of vapor only exposure. Animal tests have indicated respiratory sensitization can result

from skin contact with MDI.

Acute Eye Contact- Liquid, aerosols, and vapors of this product (isocyanate 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. If left untreated, corneal damage can occur

and injury is slow to heal. However, damage is usually reversible.

Chronic Eye Contact-None determined.

Acute Ingestion- Can result in irritation and possible corrosive action in the mouth, stomach

tissue and digestive tract. However, it is not considered a common occupational route of

exposure.

Chronic Ingestion-None determined.



Emergency and First Aid Procedures

Eye Contact-Flush with copious amounts of lukewarm water for a minimum of 15 minutes,

while lifting eyelids. Contact eye physician for immediate follow up.

Skin Contact-Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with water and soap.

Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or

persists.

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 a physician.

                                                                     U-109 Part A Page 4 of 7

Emergency and First Aid Procedures Cont'd

Inhalation-Remove to fresh air. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration as needed.

Obtain medical attention. Asthmatic-type symptoms may develop and may be immediate or

delayed up to several hours. Consult a physician should this occur.



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 must be removed from any further exposure to any isocyanate.



Section VI- Employee Protection



Eye Protection Requirements...Liquid chemical goggles. Vapor resistant goggles should be

worn when contact lenses are in use. In a splash hazard environment chemical goggles

should be worn along with a full face shield.

Skin Protection Requirements...Permeation resistant gloves (butyl rubber, nitrile rubber,

polyvinyl alcohol). However, please note that PVA degrades in water. Cover as much of the

exposed skin as possible with appropriate clothing. If skin creams are used, keep the area

covered by the cream to a minimum.

Respiratory Requirements...Concentrations greater than TLV can occur when MDI is

sprayed, heated or used on poorly ventilated areas. In such case, or whenever concentrations

of MDI exceed the TLV, respiratory protection must be worn. A positive pressure, supplied

air-respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended. In situations where MDI

is not sprayed, heated or used in a poorly ventilated area, and a supplied air or self-contained

breathing apparatus is unavailable or its use impractical, at lease an air-purifying respirator

equipped with an organic vapor cartridge and particulate pre-filters must be worn. However,

this should be permitted only for short periods of time at relatively low concentrations (at or

below the TLV). However, due to the poor warning properties of MDI, proper fit and timely

replacement of filter elements must be ensured. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use

(29 CFR 1910.134).

Ventilation Requirements...Exhaust ventilation sufficient to keep the airborne

concentrations of MDI and solvent below the respective TLV to be utilized. Standard

reference sources regarding industrial ventilation (i.e. SCGIH industrial ventilation) should be

consulted for guidance about adequate ventilation.

Additional Protective Measures...Safety showers and eyewash stations should be available.

Educate and train employees in safe use of product. Follow all label instructions.

                                           HCN and MDI.



Section VIII - Spill or Leak Procedures

Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled - Evacuate nonessential personnel.

Ventilate area. Control further spillage if feasible. Notify appropriate authorities if

necessary. Equip clean up crew with appropriate protective equipment (see Section VI). dike

or impound spilled material, Cover the spill with sawdust, vermiculite, fuller's earth or other

absorbent material. Shovel into suitable unsealed containers and transport to well-ventilated

area (outside). Cover loosely.



Waste Disposal Method-Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and

local environmental control regulations. Incineration is preferred method. Empty containers

must be handled with care due to product residue. Do not heat or cut empty container with

electric or gas torch. (See Sections IV and VII). Gases may be highly toxic.





Section IX ?Special Precautions and Storage Data

Storage Temperature (min/max).........................32ºF. (0ºC.) 122ºF. (50ºC.)

Shelf Life...................................................12 months at 77ºf. When stored in a

                                                             sealed container.

Special Sensitivity: If container is exposed to high heat, it can be pressurized and possibly

rupture explosively. MDI reacts with water to form CO2 gas. This can cause sealed

containers to expand and possibly rupture explosively.

Handling and Storage Precautions: Store in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture

contamination. Do not reseal if contamination is suspected. Avoid contact with skin and

eyes. Do not breathe vapor. Warning properties (irritation of the eyes, nose and throat or

odor) are not adequate to prevent chronic overexposure from inhalation. This material can

product asthmatic sensitization upon either single inhalation exposure to a relatively high

concentration or upon repeated inhalation exposures to lower concentrations. Exposure to

vapors of heated MDI can be extremely dangerous. Employee education and training in the

safe use and handling of this product are required under the OSHA Hazard Communication

Standard.
