3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Physical Hazards
Since the containers are pressurized, storage temperature should not exceed 120癋 (49癈) in order to avoid excessive
pressure build-up and possible container rupture. Also, the product has strong adhesive-like characteristics and will
adhere aggressively to skin and other surfaces. If accidental contact occurs, follow the appropriate first-aid
procedure described in Section 4 of this MSDS.

Potential Health Effects
The primary adverse health effects of this product are related to the Polymeric Isocyanate (MDI) component, and, to
a lesser degree, the Fluorocarbon (Non-Flammable Gas) component. Therefore, adequate ventilation should be
provided to avoid exceeding the exposure limits of these components (See Section 8). The likelihood of exceeding
these limits are 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.
Entry Route: Effects of Overexposure
Inhalation: May irritate mucous membranes with tightness in chest, coughing, or allergic asthma-like sensitivity.
Extensive overexposure can lead to respiratory symptoms like bronchitis and pulmonary edema. These
effects are usually reversible.
Overexposure to Fluorocarbon may cause lightheadedness, headaches, or lethargy. Persons with cardiac
arrhythmia may be at increased risk in severe exposure.
Eyes: May be irritating to eyes. Foam contact can cause physical damage due to adhesive character.
Skin: May cause localized irritation, reddening or swelling. Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to
sensitization and/or contact dermatitis.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of mucous membranes in the mouth and digestive tract.
4. FIRST AID
Inhalation: 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.
Eye Contact: Flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes and obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact: Use a rag to remove excess foam from skin and remove contaminated clothing. Use of a solvent, such as
acetone (nail polish remover) or mineral spirits, may help in removing uncured foam residue from clothing or
other surfaces (avoid eye contact). Cured foam may be physically removed by persistent washing with soap
and water. If irritation develops, use mild skin cream. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: Drink 1 to 3 glasses of water and seek immediate medical attention. Never give anything orally to an
unconscious person.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
High temperatures will raise the pressure in the containers, which may lead to rupturing. Extinguishing media include: dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, Halon 1211, chemical foam, or water spray if used in large quantities (water contamination will
produce carbon dioxide). Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against toxic decomposition by-products,
including CO, CO2, NO, and traces of HCN. Cured foam is organic and, therefore, will burn in the presence of sufficient
heat, oxygen and an ignition source. Main hazards associated with burning foam are similar to burning of other organic
materials (wood, paper, cotton, etc.) and precautions against exposure should be taken accordingly. Avoid welding or other
"hot work" in the vicinity of exposed cured foam.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES/DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Read all product instructions before using. Personal protective equipment should include impervious gloves, protective eye
wear, and suitable work clothes. Uncured product is very sticky, so carefully remove the bulk of the foam by scraping it up
and then immediately remove residue with a rag and solvent such as polyurethane cleaner, mineral spirits, acetone (nail
polish remover), paint thinner, etc. Once the product has cured, it can only be removed physically by scraping, buffing, etc.
Dispose as plastic waste (foam plastic) in accordance with all applicable guidelines and regulations.
Before disposing of containers, relieve container of any remaining foam and pressure. Allow product to fully cure before
disposing. Never discard in a liquid state.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place. Ideal storage temperature is 60癋 to 80癋 (15.5癈 to 26.6癈). Storage above 90癋 (32.2癈) will
shorten the shelf life. Storage below 55癋 (12.7癈) may affect foam quality if chemicals are not warmed before using.
Protect containers from physical abuse. Protect unused product from freezing.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Read all product instructions before using. Personal protective equipment should include (impervious gloves, protective eye
wear and suitable work clothes). Adequate ventilation should also be employed so that vapor levels do not exceed
recommended guidelines. If vapor levels are expected to exceed these guidelines, use NIOSH approved, positive pressure,
supplied air respirator or a negative pressure half mask with organic vapor cartridges and dust/mist pre-filters. Exercise good
personal hygiene, wash thoroughly after each use.

9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Physical Appearance : Viscous liquid which foams upon release from container as an off-white to yellowish
froth. (Note; Appearance may differ with the introduction of a dye or colorant).
Odor : Slight fluorocarbon odor during curing stage
Specific Gravity : Approximately 1.2 (H2O = 1)
Boiling Point : Fluorocarbon (Non-Flammable Compressed Gas, HCFC) boils at 0癋 (-17.7癈).
Other components boil at temperatures greater than 200癋 (93.3癈).
Flash Point : Product flash point has been tested at approximately 800癋 (426.6癈).
Vapor Pressure : Contents under pressure have vapor pressure greater than 50 psig / 345 kPa. After
release from container, vapor pressure is very low (not determined).
Solubility in Water : Insoluble, reacts slowly with water during cure; liberating traces of CO2.
Explosion Data : Contents are not known to be sensitive to mechanical impact or static discharge.
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
This product is considered stable under normal and anticipated storage and handling conditions. Do not store above 120癋
(49癈). For longest shelf life, avoid storage above 80癋 (26.6癈). Avoid alcohols, strong bases or amines and metal
compounds (such as small particle metal catalysts).
