Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ...
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin:
Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.
DO NOT use solvents.
Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.
INHALED
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For sub-chronic and chronic exposures to isocyanates:
This material may be a potent pulmonary sensitiser which causes bronchospasm
even in patients without prior airway hyperreactivity.
Clinical symptoms of exposure involve mucosal irritation of respiratory and
gastrointestinal tracts.
Conjunctival irritation, skin inflammation (erythema, pain vesiculation) and
gastrointestinal disturbances occur soon after exposure.
Pulmonary symptoms include cough, burning, substernal pain and dyspnoea.
Some cross-sensitivity occurs between different isocyanates.
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and bronchospasm are the most serious
consequences of exposure. Markedly symptomatic patients should receive oxygen,
ventilatory support and an intravenous line.
Treatment for asthma includes inhaled sympathomimetics (epinephrine
[adrenalin], terbutaline) and steroids.
Activated charcoal (1 g/kg) and a cathartic (sorbitol, magnesium citrate) may
be useful for ingestion.
Mydriatics, systemic analgesics and topical antibiotics (Sulamyd) may be used
for corneal abrasions.
There is no effective therapy for sensitised workers.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux; Medical Toxicology]
NOTE: Isocyanates cause airway restriction in naive individuals with the degree
of response dependant on the concentration and duration of exposure. They induce
smooth muscle contraction which leads to bronchoconstrictive episodes. Acute
changes in lung function, such as decreased FEV1, may not represent sensitivity.

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
SMALL FIRES
DO NOT use water.
Dry chemical powder.
Carbon dioxide.
Protein foam.
LARGE FIRES
Flooding quantities of water only.
Small quantities of water in contact with hot liquid may react violently with
generation of a large volume of rapidly expanding hot sticky semi-solid foam.
Presents additional hazard when fire fighting in a confined space.
Cooling with flooding quantities of water reduces this risk.
FIRE FIGHTING
Clear area of personnel.
Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus.
Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water
courses.
Avoid spraying water onto liquid pools.
DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot.
Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Combustible.
Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
When heated to high temperatures decomposes rapidly generating vapour which
pressures and may then rupture containers with release of flammable and highly
toxic isocyanate vapour.
Burns with acrid black smoke and poisonous fumes.
Combustion yields traces of highly toxic hydrogen cyanide HCN, plus toxic
nitrogen oxides NOx and carbon monoxide.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid any contamination of this material as it is very reactive and any
contamination is potentially hazardous
Avoid reaction with water, alcohols, strong bases, alkalis, metal compounds and
detergent solutions. Reacts with water, may generate a large volume of foam,
carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and heat. Foaming in confined space may produce
pressure. Isocyanates will attack and embrittle some plastics and rubbers.

Mean MDI exposures of less than 0.003 ppm appear to have no acute or
chronic effect on pulmonary function.
MDI produces identical toxicological responses to those produced by TDI
and the recommended TLV-TWA is identical for the two isocyanates. Exposure
at or below the recommended value is thought to protect the worker against
pulmonary function decrements as well as to minimise the potential for
respiratory tract sensitisation. Individuals who may be hypersusceptible
or otherwise unusually responsive to exposure to certain industrial
chemicals may not adequately protected from adverse health effects caused
by MDI at the recommended TLV-TWA. Ceiling values recommended by NIOSH
and OSHA are synonymous with normal excursions allowable for exposures to
the TLV-TWA (in excess of 3 x TLV-TWA for no more than a total of
30 minutes during a work day but in any case not exceeding 5 x TLV-TWA).

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION ...
EYE
Chemical goggles.
Full face shield.
Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb irritants
and all lenses concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
Neoprene rubber gloves or Butyl rubber gloves or PVC gloves
Rubber boots
DO NOT use skin cream unless necessary and then use only minimum amount.
Isocyanate vapour may be absorbed into skin cream and this increases hazard.
OTHER
Overalls or PVC apron
Ensure that there is ready access to eye wash unit
DO NOT return unused product to containers.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area
Spraying must be carried out in conditions conforming to local State
regulations. Local exhaust ventilation and full face air supplied breathing
apparatus (hood or helmet type) are required. Unprotected personnel must vacate
the spraying area.
Note: Organic vapour respirators are not protection for sensitised workers.
Refer to protective measures for other components used with this product. Avoid
breathing dust when sanding. If dust inhalation risk exists wear S.A.A. approved
dust respirator. If possible use wet sanding techniques to avoid generating
dust.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities
which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air
required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant Air Speed
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone or rapid air
motion)
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only

motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 4-10 m/s (800-2000 f/min.)
for extraction of solvents generated by spraying at a point 2 meters distant
from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing
performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that
theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when
extraction systems are installed or used.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments
The liquid is highly discomforting and harmful if swallowed
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting
EYE
The liquid is highly discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing pain
and severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possible permanent
impairment of vision, if not promptly and adequately treated
The vapour is discomforting to the eyes
The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
SKIN
The material is moderately discomforting to the skin if exposure is prolonged
and may cause allergic skin reactions , skin sensitisation and repeated exposure
may cause sensitisation and/or allergic reactions
Sensitisation may result in allergic dermatitis responses including rash,
itching, hives or swelling of extremities.
Bare unprotected skin should not be exposed to this material
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption
INHALED
The vapour/mist may be highly irritating to the upper respiratory tract and
lungs; the response may be severe enough to produce bronchitis and pulmonary
oedema. Possible neurological symptoms arising from isocyanate exposure include
headache, insomnia, euphoria, ataxia, anxiety neurosis, depression and paranoia.
Gastrointestinal disturbances are characterised by nausea and vomiting.
Pulmonary sensitisation may produce asthmatic reactions ranging from minor
breathing difficulties to severe allergic attacks; this may occur following a
single acute exposure or may develop without warning for several hours after
exposure. Sensitized people can react to very low doses, and should not be
allowed to work in situations allowing exposure to this material. Continued
exposure of sensitised persons may lead to possible long term respiratory
impairment.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Respiratory sensitisation may result in allergic/asthma like responses; from
coughing and minor breathing difficulties to bronchitis with wheezing, gasping.
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition such as
asthma, bronchitis, emphysema
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of vapour , skin
contact/absorption and inhalation of vapour from the curing material
Sensitisation may give severe responses to very low levels of exposure, i.e.
hypersensitivity. Sensitised persons should not be allowed to work in situations
where exposure may occur. Isocyanate vapours are irritating to the airways and
can cause their inflammation, with wheezing, gasping, severe distress, even loss
of consciousness and fluid in the lungs. Nervous system symptoms that may occur
include headache, sleep disturbance, euphoria, inco-ordination, anxiety,
depression and paranoia. Digestive effects include nausea and vomiting.
Breathing difficulties may occur unpredictably after a period of tolerance and
after skin contact. Allergic inflammation of the skin can occur, with rash,
itching, blistering, and swelling of the hands and feet. Sensitive people can
react to very low levels and should not be exposed to this material.
