3. Hazard Identification
May cause irritation of the respiratory system, and can cause sensitisation following inhalation
of vapours, mists or fumes. May cause lung damage if swallowed. Toxic to aquatic organisms.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: In case of drowsiness or sickness remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and
at rest. If unconscious, turn to the recovery position. Seek medical assistance.
Skin Contact: NOTE: Effects may be delayed. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and
wash the affected area with plenty of soap and water to ensure all traces of
product are removed, then rinse thoroughly. Any contaminated clothing must
be thoroughly cleaned before re-using. Seek medical advice if irritation
persists.
Eye Contact: Flush with copious amounts of clean water for at least 15 minutes, with the
eye lids held open. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Keep patient at rest and obtain medical attention.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.

5. Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguisher Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide or
sand.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Water.
Exposure Hazards: May give off toxic fumes if heated or involved in a fire,
including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
hydrogen cyanide.
Special Protective Equipment: Full face, positive pressure, self-contained breathing
apparatus and full protective clothing.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Wear protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Eliminate all ignition sources.
Environmental Precautions: Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep people and
animals away. Prevent entry into drains, sewers and
watercourses. If spillage enters drains leading to
sewerage works inform the local water company. If
spillage enters rivers or watercourses inform the
Environment Agency.
Spillages: Cordon off area. Absorb/contain spillage using inert
absorbent granules, sand or earth. Transfer collected
material to heavy-duty plastic/steel drums and keep in
a well ventilated place for subsequent safe disposal.
See Section 13.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: No specific precautions required when handling
unopened containers; follow any relevant manual
handling guidance. Avoid contact with water, alcohols,
amines and other materials that may react with
isocyanates. Refer to Sections 6 and 8 if exposure to
product is possible. Wash thoroughly with soap and
water before eating, drinking or smoking, and after
work.
Storage: Store in original containers in a well ventilated area
away from heat, ignition sources or open flame. Do
not store near acids. Isocyanates react with water to
liberate carbon dioxide. Any ingress of moisture into
an isocyanate container, whether full or empty, can
lead to a pressure build-up and subsequent explosion.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Occupational Exposure Standards: Isocyanates (as -NCO):
3 3
8 Hour TWA 0.02mg/m , 15 min STEL 0.07mg/m
MEL (Sens).
These exposure limits must not be exceeded at any
time during the exposure period.
Hydrocarbon Solvent (from raw material composition):

th
Date of Issue: 28 June, 2006
3
8 Hour TWA 150mg/m OEL (calculated).
3
Talc: 8 Hour TWA 1mg/m (respirable) OES.
3
General Dusts: 8 Hour TWA 10mg/m (total inhalable
3
dust), 4mg/m (respirable) OES.
While these products contain talc and general dusts,
which have Occupational Exposure Standards
assigned to them, they are not present in powder form
and therefore do not present an inhalation hazard.
Engineering Control Measures: Refer to any applicable COSHH assessments.
Engineering controls should be used where
practicable in preference to personal protection and
may include physical containment and good
ventilation.
Respiratory Protection: If levels of isocyanate or solvents exceed the above
limits use an approved respirator fitted with an
appropriate gas cartridge (organic substance). All
items must conform to EN149 and should be suitable
for the levels of contamination present in the
workplace.
Hand Protection: Wear Neoprene or Nitrile gloves or gauntlets. These
must be manufactured to EN374. The material
breakthrough time should be stated by the glove
manufacturer, and must be observed at all times.
Eye Protection: If splashing of the product is likely chemical resistant
goggles conforming to BS 2092 should be worn.
Body Protection: Wear suitable impervious, chemical resistant overalls.
Foot Protection: Wear chemical resistant safety footwear.
Hygiene Measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene
and safety practice.

11. Toxicological Information
There is no data available on the product itself.
Contains isocyanates which may cause allergic reaction and irritation of the respiratory system,
however the low volatility of the product makes this unlikely during normal conditions of use.
Inhalation: Harmful by inhalation. May cause sensitisation by
inhalation. Vapour concentrations above the
recommended exposure levels are irritating to the
eyes and respiratory tract, and may cause
headaches, dizziness and have other CNS effects.
Eye Contact: May cause Irritation.
Skin Contact: Irritant for skin and mucous membranes. May cause
sensitisation.
Ingestion: May result in irritation to the gastro intestinal tract.
Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the respiratory
system during ingestion or from vomiting may cause
bronchopneumonia or pulmonary oedema.
Health Warnings: Can be hazardous when inhaled and/or following skin
contact. May cause allergic reaction and irritation of
the respiratory system. Prolonged inhalation of high
concentrations may damage the respiratory system.
Pulmonary sensitiser and severe pulmonary irritant.
Recognised allergen. May also cause sensitisation by
skin contact.
12. Ecological Information
There is no data available on the product itself.
Hazardous for water. Do not allow the product to reach ground water, water bodies or sewage
systems. Must not reach sewage water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralised. The liquid
product may be neutralised with a mixture of ammonia solution (190g/ltr), water and ethanol.
13. Disposal Considerations
Dispose of used containers and un-cured product as hazardous waste, in accordance with all
