=================================================================================
SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD/TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
=================================================================================
OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS:
ACUTE EFFECTS:
EYES: Contact with eyes can cause irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision, and/or swelling.
SKIN: Contact with skin can cause irritation, (minor itching, burning and/or redness), Dermatitis,
defatting may be readily absorbed through the skin.
INHALATION: Inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness,
fatigue, nausea, headache, possible unconsciousness and/or asphyxiation. Aspiration of material into
lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.
INGESTION: Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
Overexposure to this material has apparently been known to cause the following effects in lab animals:
Sensitization to skin and/or lungs, central nervous system damage, fetotoxicity, blood abnormalities
CARCINOGEN: YES _____ NO __X__
TERATOGEN: YES _____ NO __X__
MUTAGEN: YES _____ NO __X__
ISOCYANATES/DIISOCYANATES
Aliphatic Polyisocyanate or Polymeric Isophorone Diisocyanate or Polyisocyanate:
Repeated exposure may cause allergic skin rash, itching, swelling. Repeated overexposure to Isocyanates may cause
lung injury, including a decrease in lung function, which may be permanent. Overexposure may cause asthma-like
reactions with shortness of breath, wheezing, cough which may be permanent or permanent lung sensitization. This
effect may be delayed for several hours after exposure. Individuals with preexisting lung disease, asthma or
breathing difficulties may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposure.
1,6 Hexamethylene Diisocyanate:
May cause temporary upper respiratory and/or lung irritation with cough, difficult breathing, or shortness of breath.
Overexposure may cause asthma-like reactions with shortness of breath, wheezing, cough or permanent lung
sensitization. This effect may be delayed for several hours after exposure. Prolonged skin contact may cause
chemical burns. Liquid splashes in the eye may result in chemical burns. Individuals with preexisting lung disease,
asthma or breathing difficulties may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: skin, inhalation, eyes

FIRST AID:
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove victim from exposure to a well-ventilated area. Make them
comfortably warm, but not hot. Use oxygen or artificial respiration as required. Consult a physician.
SKIN: For skin contact, wash promptly with soap and excess water.
EYES: For eye contact, flush promptly with excess water for at least fifteen minutes. Consult a physician.
INGESTION: If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Give victim a glass of water. Call a physician
immediately.

================================================================================
SECTION VII - SPILL AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURE
=================================================================================
SPILLS, LEAK OR RELEASE: Ventilate area. Remove all possible sources of ignition. Avoid prolonged
breathing of vapor. Contain spill with inert absorbent.
WASTE DISPOSAL: Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
================================================================================
SECTION VIII - PROTECTION INFORMATION
=================================================================================
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If component TLV limits are exceeded, use NIOSH/MSHA approved
respirator to remove vapors. Use an air-supplied respirator for Isocyanates.
VENTILATION: Use adequate ventilation in volume and pattern to keep TLV/PEL below recommended levels.
Explosion-proof ventilation may be necessary.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: To prevent prolonged exposure use rubber gloves; solvents may be absorbed through
the skin
EYE PROTECTION: Safety Glasses or goggles with splash guards or side shields.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Wear protective clothing as required to prevent skin contact.
=================================================================================
