5: HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
**TAKE A COPY OF THIS MSDS TO THE DOCTOR**
HEALTH EFFECTS:
The primary adverse health effects of this material are related to the Polymeric Isocyanate (MDI) component, and, to a lesser degree,
the Fluorocarbon (134a) component. Therefore, adequate ventilation should be provided to avoid exceeding the exposure limits of
these components. The likelihood of exceeding these limits is low due to the low concentration of vapor produced during normal use.
However, if used indoors, mechanical ventilation or exhaust should be provided during use and until product is cured
Eyes
May be irrating to eyes. Foam contact can cause physical damage due to adhesive nature of product.
Hands & Feet
May cause localised irritation, reddening or swelling. Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to sensitization and or dermatitis.
Respiratory
May irratate mucous membranes with tightness in chest, coughing, or allergic asthma like sensitivity. Extensive over exposure can
lead to respiratory symptoms lioke bronchitis and pulmonary edema. These effects are usually reversable.
Over exposure to fluorcarbons may cause light headedness, or lrthargy. Persons with cardiac arrhythmia may be at increased risk in
severe exposure.
Other
Ingestion
May cause irration of mucous membranes in the mouth and digestive tract.
FIRST AID
Eyes
Flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes and obtain medical attention.
Skin
Use a rag to remove excess adhesive from skin and remove contaminated clothing. Use of a mild solvent, such as acetone (nail polish
remover) or mineral spirits, may help in removing uncured residue from clothing or other surfaces (avoid eye contact). Cured product
may be physically removed by persistent washing with soap and water. If irritation develops, use mild skin cream. If it persists, obtain
medical attention
Inhaled
If breathing difficulty is experienced, move to area free of exposure. Provide fresh air. If necessary, provide oxygen or artificial
respiration by trained personnel and obtain medical attention.
Swallowed
Do not induce vomiting. Drink 1-2 glasses of water or milk. Consult physician. Do not give anything orally to an unconscious
person
Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically

6: PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
EXPOSURE LIMITS:
Read all the product information before use. Personal protective equipment should be used including goggle, gloves and long sleved
work clothes. Adequate ventilation should be employed so that vapor levels do not exceed reccomended guidelines. If vapor levels are
expected to exceed these guidelines, use a positive presure air resperator. Exercise good personal hygiene.

7: SAFE HANDLING & STORAGE
STORAGE & TRANSPORT:
Store in a cool dry enviroment. Ideal temperature range is 15 to 27 deg C. Storage above 33 deg C will shorten shelf life. Avoid
alcohols, strong bases or amines and metal compounds. Contents should not be heated above 50 Deg C to avoid excessive pressure

PACKAGING & LABELLING:
SPILLS & DISPOSASLS:
Provide adequate ventilation and wear recommended protective clothing. (Gloves, safety goggles, long sleved work clothes). Uncured
product is very sticky so carefully remove the bulk of the adhesive by scraping it up and the immediately remove residue with a rag and
solvent such as mineral turps, acetone, paint thinners etc. Once the product has cured it can only be removed by physical means.
Dispose of in plastic waste in accordance with all applicable guidelines and regulations.
Before disposing cans, releive container of any pressure
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
8: FLAMABILITY
Fire/Explosion hazard : Upper Explosion Limit :
Extinguishing Media : Lower Explosion Limit :
May Decompose Explosively : Dust Explosion Limit :
Extinguishing Media
Dry Chemical, Carbon Dioxide, Halon 1211, Chemical Foam, Water Spray if used in large quantaties. Water contamination will
produce carbon dioxide. Wear self contained breathing apparatus to protect against toxic decomposition by-products. Cureed product
is organic and therefore will burn in the presence of sufficient heat, oxygen & ignition
Other
High temperatures will raise the pressure in the containers, which may lead to rupturing.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
CO, CO2, NO, and traces of HCN, HF, or HCL
9: OTHER INFORMATION
Product is a liquid urethaneprepolymer mixture that is packaged under presure (Non-flamable Compressd Gas)
