MSDS Number: CT 10095-2
Notes to physician:
Symptomatic and supportive therapy as needed. Following sever exposure medical follow-up
whould be monitored for at least 48 hours.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Fire Hazards:
See Section 9 for Flammability Properties. Cool containers with water spray. Containers may
burst if overheated. This product reacts with water producing CO2 gas. Do not reseal
contaminated containers as a hazardous pressure build up could result in container rupture.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
Combustion products may include carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, HCN and
isocyanates. Carbon Monoxide is the primary combustion byproduct of concern.
Extinguishing Media:
Use methods for the surrounding fire.
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions
Standard fire fighting protective equipment is recommended, including full-face, self-contained
breathing apparatus and impervious protective clothing.
NFPA Ratings: Health: 2 Fire: 1 Reactivity: 1
Hazard Scale: 0 = Minimal 1 = Slight 2 = Moderate 3 = Serious 4 = Severe
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Containment Procedures
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Stop the flow of material, if this can be done
without risk.
Clean-Up Procedures
Ventilate the contaminated area. Contain and absorb large spillage onto an inert, non-flammable
adsorbent carrier (such as earth or sand). Shovel into open-top drums or plastic bags for further
decontamination, if necessary. Wash the spillage area clean with liquid decontaminant. Test
atmosphere for MDI. Neutralize small spillages with decontaminant. Remove and properly
dispose of residues. Dispose of in accordance with federal, state and local regulations in a
permitted waste management facility.
Evacuation Procedures
Evacuate the area promptly. Keep upwind of the spilled material and isolate exposure.
Special Procedures
Avoid inhalation of vapors or mists. Surfaces may become slippery after spillage.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Procedures
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapors. Wear proper personal protective equipment.
Avoid contact with water. Do not re-seal contaminated product as a hazardous build-up of pressure may
result from liberation of CO2 gas. Keep stocks of decontaminant readily available.

sunlight and excess heat. The storage life of chemicals is 6 months. Do not store material near
food, feed or drinking water. Uncontaminated containers, free of moisture, may be resealed only
after placing under a nitrogen blanket. Do not store in containers made of copper, copper alloys
or galvanized surfaces.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Dose Effects
A: General Product Information
This product is harmful by inhalation, when in contact with the skin and if it is swallowed.
This product may cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. Repeated inhalation
of vapors may cause an allergic respiratory response, the onset of which may be delayed
several hours after exposure. This product is irritating to the eyes. Symptoms include
itching, burning, redness and tearing. Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
B: Component Analysis
Polymethylene polyphenylene isocyanate (9016-87-9)
Inhalation LC50 Rat: 490 mg/m3/4H; Oral LD50 Rat: 49 g/kg; Dermal LD50 Rabbit:
>9400 mg/kg
Methylene bisphenol isocyanate (MDI) (101-68-8)
Oral LD50 Rat: 9200 mg/kg
C: Repeated Dose Effects
Repeated or prolonged exposure to MDI may result in isocyanate sensitization (chemical
asthma) in some individuals, causing them to react to isocyanate exposure at
concentrations below the established exposure limits. Symptoms include chest tightness,
wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Effects can be delayed. Overexposure can
cause lung damage, including decreased lung function. Prolonged or repeated skin
contact may cause irritation leading to dermatitis. Skin sensitization may also occur.
Lung injury has been observed in laboratory animals after repeated excessive exposure
to MDI/polymeric MDI aerosol droplets. Lung tumors have been observed in laboratory
animals exposed to aerosol droplets of MDI/polymeric MDI (6 mg/m) for their lifetime.
Tumors occurred concurrently with respiratory irritation and lung injury. Current exposure
guidelines are expected to protect against these effects.
