4. FIRST AID MEASURES
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (e.g. phone Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0800 764 766) or a doctor.
Inhalation:
Remove victim from area of exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and loosen remaining
clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until fully recovered. If patient
finds breathing difficult and develops a bluish discolouration of the skin (which suggests a lack of oxygen in the blood -
cyanosis), ensure airways are clear of any obstruction and have a qualified person give oxygen through a face mask.
Apply artificial respiration if patient is not breathing. Seek immediate medical advice.
Skin Contact:
If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin and hair thoroughly with
running water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance.
Eye Contact:
If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by
a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Ingestion:
Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. Seek immediate medical
assistance.
Medical attention and special treatment:
Treat symptomatically. Effects may be delayed.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards from combustion products:
Combustible liquid. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of hydrogen cyanide , oxides of carbon and oxides of
nitrogen .
Precautions for fire fighters and special protective equipment:
Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or
products of combustion.
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Fine water spray, normal foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency procedures:
If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up:
SMALL SPILLS: Avoid skin and eye contact. Wipe up with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Allow absorbent to dry
before disposing with normal household garbage.
LARGE SPILLS: Work up wind or increase ventilation. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact.
Scrape up excess material before cure. Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or
other inert material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. Cured material can only be
removed by cutting or abrasion.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapour, mists and aerosols.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in cool place and out of direct sunlight. Keep dry - reacts with water. Store away
from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational Exposure Limits: No value assigned for this specific material by the New Zealand Occupational Safety
and Health Service (OSH). However, Workplace Exposure Standard(s) for constituent(s):
Isocyanates, all, (as -NCO): WES-TWA 0.02 mg/m3; WES-STEL 0.07 mg/m3, sen
As published by the New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH).
WES - TWA (Workplace Exposure Standard - Time Weighted Average) - The eight-hour, time-weighted average
exposure standard is designed to protect the worker from the effects of long-term exposure.
WES - STEL (Workplace Exposure Standard - Short Term Exposure Limits) - The 15 minute average exposure standard.
Applies to any 15 minute period in the working day and is designed to protect the worker against adverse effects of
irritation, chronic or irreversible tissue change, or narcosis that may increase the likelihood of accidents. The WES-STEL
is not an alternative to the WES-TWA; both short-term and eight-hour, time-weighted average exposures should be
determined.
`Sen' Notice - sensitiser. The substance can cause a specific immune response in some people. An affected individual
may subsequently react to exposure to minute levels of that substance.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine
dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Engineering controls:
Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are controlled below quoted Exposure
Standards. Keep containers closed when not in use.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and the product
label. Symptoms or effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are:
Ingestion: Swallowing may result in nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Eye contact: An eye irritant.
Skin contact: Contact with skin will result in irritation. A skin sensitiser. Repeated or prolonged
skin contact may lead to allergic contact dermatitis.
Inhalation: Material is irritant to the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract (airways). A
respiratory sensitiser. Can cause possible allergic reactions, producing asthma-like
symptoms.
Long Term Effects:
No information available for the product. For Isocyanates: Animal studies have shown that respiratory sensitisation can be
induced by skin contact with known respiratory sensitisers including diisocyanates. These results emphasise the need for
protective clothing including gloves to be worn when handling these chemicals or in maintenance work.
Toxicological Data: No LD50 data available for the product. For the constituent Polymeric MDI (1):
Oral LD50 (rat): >5000 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 (rabbit): >5000 mg/kg
Inhalation LC50 (rat): 490 mg/kg (respirable aerosol)
EYES(rabbit): 100ug - Draize - MILD
Rats were exposed for two years to a respirable aerosol of polymeric MDI which resulted in chronic pulmonary irritation at
high concentrations. Only at the top exposure level (6 mg/m3) was there a significant incidence of a benign lung tumour
(adenoma) and one malignant tumour (adenocarcinoma). There were no lung tumours at 1 mg/m3 and no effects at 0.2
mg/m3. The tumour incidence, both benign and malignant, and the number of animals with tumours were no different from
the controls. The increased incidence of lung tumours is associated with prolonged respiratory irritation and the
concurrent accumulation of a yellow material in the lung, which occurred throughout the study. In the absence of
prolonged high exposure leading to chronic irritation and lung damage, it is highly unlikely that tumour formation could
occur. Industrial experience with humans has not shown any links between MDI exposure and cancer development.
No birth defects were seen in two independent animal (rat) studies.
Fetotoxicity was observed at doses that were highly toxic (including lethal) to the mother. Fetotoxicity was not observed at
doses that were maternally toxic. The doses used in these studies were maximal, respirable concentrations, which were
well in excess of defined ocupational exposure limits.
There is no substantial evidence of mutagenic potential.
Respiratory hypersensitivity in guinea pigs has resulted from dermal exposure to MDI.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
