VERSI-FOAM Systems I, 15, 50 and 1.75 pcf Refillable - Standard
Name of product:
Component A
SECTION 2 - CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
CHEMICAL CAS # CONCENTRATION
Polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate 9016-87-9 80% to 100%
Containing 4,4 Methylene bisphenylisocyanate (MDI) 101-68-8
(Approximately 40% - 50% MDI)
Tetrafluoroethane (134a) 811-97-2 <15%
SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Brown liquid. Slightly Musty. Sprayed or heated material harmful if inhaled. May cause allergic skin
reaction. May cause allergic respiratory reaction and lung injury. Avoid temperatures above 105? F
(41癈). Toxic flammable gases and heat are released under decomposition conditions. Toxic fumes
may be released in fire situations. Reacts slowly with water, releasing carbon dioxide, which can
cause pressure buildup and rupture of closed containers. Elevated temperatures accelerate this
process.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See section 11 for toxicological data)
Eyes: May cause moderate eye irritation. May cause very slight transient (temporary) corneal injury.
Skin: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause slight irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction in
susceptible individuals. Animal studies have shown that skin contact with isocyanates may play a
role in respiratory sensitization. May stain skin. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in
the material being absorbed in harmful amounts.
Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. No hazards anticipated from swallowing small
amounts incidental to normal handling operations.
Inhalation: At room temperature, vapors are minimal due to low vapor pressure. Excessive exposure may
cause irritation of the eyes, upper respiratory tract, and pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs). May cause
respiratory sensitization to susceptible individuals. MDI concentrations below the exposure
guidelines may cause allergic respiratory reactions in individuals already sensitized. Symptoms may
include coughing, difficult breathing and a feeling of tightness in the chest. Effects may be delayed.
Decreased lung function has been associated with overexposure to isocyanates.
Systemic (other target organ) Effects: Tissue injury in the upper respiratory tract and lung has been observed in laboratory animals after
repeated excessive exposures to MDI/polymeric MDI aerosols.
Cancer Information: Lung tumors have been observed in laboratory animals exposed to aerosol droplets of
MDI/Polymeric MDI (6 mg/m3) for their lifetime. Tumors occurred concurrently with respiratory
irritation and lung injury. Current exposure guidelines are expected to protect against these effects
reported by MDI.
Teratology (Birth Defects): In laboratory animals, MDI/polymeric MDI did not cause birth defects; other fetal effects occurred
only at high doses which were toxic to the mother.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Consult medical personnel.
Skin Contact: Remove material from skin immediately by washing with soap and plenty of water (warm water is preferable if
readily available). Remove contaminated clothing and shoes while washing. Seek medical attention if irritation
persists. An MDI skin decontamination study demonstrated that cleaning very soon after exposure is important,
and that a polyglycol-based skin cleanser or corn oil may be more effective than soap and water.
MSDS - VERSI-FOAM SYSTEMS I, 15, 50 and REFILLABLE STANDARD ?COMPONENT A PAGE TWO
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be
administered by qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions
of the patient. May cause respiratory sensitization or asthma-like symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants,
and antitussives may be of help. Respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema, may be delayed. Persons
receiving significant exposure should be observed for 24-48 hours for signs of respiratory distress.

F C)
Flammability Limits LFL: Not Applicable; UFL: Not Applicable
Hazardous Combustion Products During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to unidentified toxic and/or irritating toxic
and/or irritating compounds. Hazardous combustion products may include but are not limited to: nitrogen
oxides, isocyanates, hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Other Flammability Information: Product reacts with water. Reaction may produce heat and/or gases. Reaction may be violent. Container may
rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon
application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Dense smoke is produced when product burns. Spills of these
organic liquids on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition temperatures possibly
resulting in spontaneous combustion.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog or Fine Spray. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are
preferred if available. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but
less effectively. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Keep people away. Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas where
gases (fumes) can accumulate. Water is not recommended but may be applied in very large quantities as a
fine spray when other extinguishing agents are not available. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Do not use
direct water stream. May spread fire. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider use of
unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected
zone until fire is out. Immediately withdraw all personnel from area in case of rising sound from venting safety
device or discoloration of the container. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard.
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing
(includes fire fighting helmet, coat, pants, boots and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting
operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant clothing with SCBA. This will not provide
sufficient fire protection, consider fighting fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or
non-fire cleanup situations, refer to relevant sections.
SECTION 6 ?ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (See Section 15 for Regulatory Information)
Protect People: Avoid any contact. Barricade area. Clear non-emergency personnel from area. Keep upwind of spill.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. The area must be evacuated and reentered by persons equipped for
decontamination. Use appropriate safety equipment. If available, use foam to suppress vapors. For additional
information, refer to "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection", MSDS Section 8. See "Stability and Reactivity"
MSDS Section 10.
Protect the Environment: Contain liquid to prevent contamination of soil, surface water or ground water. Keep out of ditches, sewers and
water supplies. Should the product enter sewers or drains, it should be pumped into an open vessel.
Emergency services may need to be called to assist in the cleanup operation.
Clean Up: Supplies of suitable decontaminant should always be kept available. Absorb with material such as: sawdust,
vermiculite, dirt, sand, clay, cob grit, Milsorb. Avoid materials such as cement powder. Collect material in
suitable and properly labeled open containers. Do not place in sealed container. Prolonged contact with water
results in a chemical reaction which may result in rupture of the container. Place in: polylined fiber pacs,
plastic drums or properly labeled metal containers. Remove to a well ventilated area. Clean up floor areas.
Attempt to neutralize by decontaminant solution: Formulation No. 1: Sodium Carbonate (5%-10%), Liquid
Detergent (0.2%) and water to make up 100%. Or, Formulation No. 2: Concentrated Ammonia Solution (3% -
8%), Liquid Detergent (0.2%) and water to make up 100%. If ammonia is used, use good ventilation to prevent
vapor exposure. If you have any questions on how to neutralize, call RHH Foam Systems Inc. Refer to

F C C). Keep containers tightly closed when not in
use. Protect from atmospheric moisture. Do not store product contaminated with water to prevent potentially
hazardous reaction. See "Stability and Reactivity", MSDS Section 10.
SECTION 8 ?EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use only with adequate ventilation. Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels
below the exposure guidelines. Exhaust systems should be designed to move the air away from the source of
vapor/aerosol generation and the people working at this point. Odor is inadequate warning of excessive
exposure.
Personal Protective Equipment: EYE/FACE PROTECTION: USE CHEMICAL GOGGLES.
SKIN PROTECTION: USE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IMPERVIOUS TO THIS MATERIAL. SELECTION OF
SPECIFIC ITEMS SUCH AS FACESHIELD, GLOVES, BOOTS, APRON OR FULL-BODY SUIT WILL
DEPEND ON THE OPERATION. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING IMMEDIATELY, WASH SKIN
WITH SOAP AND WATER (WARM WATER IF AVAILABLE) AND LAUNDER CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
ITEMS WHICH CANNOT BE CONTAMINATED SUCH AS SHOES, BELTS AND WATCHBANDS, SHOULD
BE REMOVED AND DESTROYED.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: ATMOSPHERIC LEVELS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BELOW THE
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE. WHEN ATMOSPHERIC LEVELS MAY EXCEED THE EXPOSURE GUIDELINE,
USE AN APPROVED AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH AN ORGANIC VAPOR SORBENT
AND A FILTER FOR PARTICULATES. FOR SITUATIONS WHERE THE ATMOSPHERIC LEVELS MAY
EXCEED THE LEVEL FOR WHICH AN AIR-PURIFIYING RESPIRATOR IS EFFECTIVE, USE A POSITIVE-
PRESSURE AIR-SUPPLYING RESPIRATOR (AIRLINE OR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS).
FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE OR FOR SITUATIONS WHERE THE ATMOSPHERIC LEVEL IS
UNKNOWN, USE AN APPROVED POSITIVE-PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
Methylene Bisphenyl Isocyanate (MDI) ACGIH TLV is 0.05 ppm
TWA and OSHA PEL is 0.02 ppm ceiling
Tetrafluoroethane (134a) TWA is 1000 ppm
PELS are in accord with those recommended by OSHA, as in the 1989 revision of PELs.
SECTION 9 ?PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance/Physical State: Dark brown liquid
Odor: Ethereal odor
Vapor Pressure: < 25 psi @ 25?c
Vapor Density: Heavier than air
Boiling Point: Not available
Solubility in Water: Reacts
Specific Gravity: 1.24 @ 25?C
pH: Not applicable
SECTION 10 ?STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions. See "Handling and Storage", MSDS Section 7.
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid temperatures above 105?(41?br>
F C). Avoid temp eratures below 30?(-1?br>
F C). Can react with itself at
temperatures above 320?(160癈). Product can dec ompose at elevated temperatures. Generation of gas
F
during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems. Pressure build-up can be rapid. Avoid moisture.
Material reacts slowly with water, releasing carbon dioxide, which can cause pressure buildup and rupture of
closed containers. Elevated temperatures can accelerate this reaction.
Incompatibility with Other Materials: Avoid contact with acids, water, alcohols, amines, ammonia, bases, moist air and strong oxidizers. Avoid
contact with moist organic absorbents. Reaction with water will generate carbon dioxide and heat. Generation
of gas can cause pressure buildup in closed systems. Avoid unintended contact with polyols. The reaction of
polyols and isocyanates generates heat. Diisocyanates react with many materials and the rate of reaction
increases with temperature as well as increased contact. These reactions can become violent. Contact is
increased by stirring or if the other material mixes with the diisocyanate. Diisocyanates are not soluble in water
and are denser than air and sink to the bottom, but react slowly at the interface. The reaction forms Carbon
Dioxide gas and a layer of solid polyurea. See "Hazardous Polymerization" below in this section.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hazard decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials.
Gases are released during decomposition.
MSDS ?VERSI-FOAM SYSTEMS I, 15, 50 and REFILLABLE STANDARD ?COMPONENT A PAGE FOUR
Hazardous Polymerization: Can occur. Polymerization can be catalyzed by: strong bases and water. Can react with itself at temperatures
above 320?(160?br>
F C).
SECTION 11 ?TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (See Section 3 for Potential Health Effects. For detailed toxicological data,

Acute: SKIN: The LD50 for skin absorption in rabbits is >2000 mg/kg
INGESTION: The oral LD50 for rats is >10,000 mg/kg
MUTAGENICITY (EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL): Mutagenicity date on MDI is inconclusive.
MDI was weakly positive in some in-vitro (test tube) studies; other in-vitro studies were negative. A
mutagenicity study in animals was negative.
SECTION 12 ?ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION (For detailed Ecological Data, write or call the address or non-emergency
number shown in Section 1)
Environmental Fate: Movement and Partitioning: Based on information for MDI and polymeric MDI. In the aquatic or terrestrial
environment, movement is expected to be limited by its reactivity with water forming predominantly insoluble
polymers.
Degradation and Persistence: Based on information for MDI and polymeric MDI. In the aquatic and
terrestrial environment, material reacts with water forming predominantly insoluble polymers which appear to
be stable. In the atmospheric environment, material is expected to have a short tropospheric half-life, based on
calculations and by analogy with related diisocyanates.
Ecotoxicity: Based on information for MDI and polymeric MDI. The measure of ecotoxicity is that of the
hydrolyzed product, generally under conditions maximizing production of soluble species. Material is practically
non-toxic to aquatic organisms on an acute basis (LC50/EC50 > 100 mg/L in most sensitive species). The
LC50 in earthworm eisenia foetida is >1000 mg/kg.
