SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Warning! Flammable liquid and vapor.
Color: Silver Form: Liquid Odor; Sweet, Ester
Overexposure may cause nervous system effects. May cause serious disturbances of heart rhythm. May cause skin irritation.
Causes eye irritation. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Pulmonary aspiration hazard. After ingestion,
may enter lungs and produce damage
ROUTES OF ENTRY:........................: skin contact from liquid and aerosols (spray application). Inhalation.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYES:
ACUTE EYE CONTACT...Liquid, aerosols or vapors are irritating and can cause tearing, reddening and swelling. If left untreated,
corneal damage can occur and is slow to heal. However damage is usually reversible. See first aid measures for treatment.
CHRONIC EYE CONTACT...None Found
SKIN: (XYLENE) May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting
and
drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash) Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
irritation.
(MDI) Isocynates react with skin protein and moisture and can cause irritation which may include the following symptoms:
Reddening, swelling, rash, scaling or blistering. Cured material is difficult to remove. Prolonged contact can cause reddening,
rash, scaling, swelling, blistering and in some cases can cause skin sensitization. Individuals who have skin sensitization can
develop these symptoms from contact with liquid and vapors. Animal tests have indicated that respiratory sensitization can
result
from skin contact with MDI.
INGESTION: (XYLENE) Moderately toxic. Irritating to mouth, throat, and stomach. May produce central nervous system effects,
which may include dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, unconsciousness, coma and even death? Product may be
harmful
or fatal if swallowed. Pulmonary aspiration hazard. After ingestion may enter lungs and produce damage.
(MDI) Can result in irritation and corrosive action in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract. Symptoms can include sore
throat, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
INHALATION: (XYLENE) High concentrations may lead to central nervous system effects (drowsiness, dizziness, nausea,
headaches, paralysis, loss of consciousness and even death). Repeated overexposure can cause a hearing loss in laboratory
animals. Repeated overexposure has produced toxic effects in developing and young laboratory animals. Solvent
"huffing/snuffing" (abuse) or intentional prolonged overexposure to high levels of vapors can produce abnormal behavior,
convulsions, hallucinations, delirium, nervous system damage, serious disturbances of heart rhythm and sudden death.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause liver and kidney damage.
(MDI) Vapors or mist at concentrations above the TLV can irritate (burning sensation) the mucous membranes in the respiratory
tract (nose throat, lungs) causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath and reduced lung
function (breathing obstruction). Persons with a preexisting, nonspecific bronchial hyperactivity can respond to concentrations
below the TLV with similar symptoms as well as asthma attack. Exposure well above the TLV may lead to bronchitis, bronchial
spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs). These symptoms can be delayed up to several hours after exposure.
(MDI CHRONIC INHALATION) As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose , certain individuals develop
isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma) which will cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanate at levels well below
the TLV. These symptoms which can include wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough or asthma attack, could be
immediate or delayed up to several hours after exposure. Similar to many non-specific asthmatic responses, there are reports
that once sensitized an individual can experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust, cold air or other irritants. This
increased lung sensitivity can last for weeks and in severe cases for several years. Overexposure to isocyanates has also been
reported to cause lung damage (including decrease in lung function) which may be permanent. Sensitization can either
temporary
or permanent.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
The following diseases or disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product: skin, eye, liver, kidney, nervous
system, respiratory system, lung (asthma-like conditions)

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, Foam, Carbon dioxide or Water spray
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Full emergency equipment with self contained breathing apparatus and full protective
clothing should be worn by firefighters. During a fire, MDI vapors and other irritating, highly toxic gasses may be generated
by thermal decomposition or combustion. (See Stability and Reactivity). At temperatures greater than 400 F (204 C),
polymeric MDI can Polymerize and decompose which can cause pressure build-up in closed containers. Explosive rupture
is
possible. Therefore use cold water spray to cool storage containers
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: . Vapors may cause a flash fire or ignite explosively.
Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Prevent build up of vapors or gasses to
explosive concentrations.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

SECTION 5 NOTES:
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Evacuate and ventilate the spill area; dike spill to prevent entry into water system; wear full
protective equipment. Prevent ignition, Remove all ignition sources, stop leak and ventilate the area. Contain spilled
liquid with sand or earth DO NOT use combustible materials such as saw dust. Vapor can be controlled using a water fog.
Water sprays should not be should not be directed to the liquid as this will cause the liquid to boil and generate more
vapor. Keep personal upwind from leak Use appropriate protection equipment as stated in section 8 of this MSDS. Advise EPA
and
appropriate state agencies if required. Absorb spill with inert material (dry sand or earth) and place in a chemical waste
container for disposal.
SECTION 6 NOTES:
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Use only in a well ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Avoid
breathing (dust, vapor, mist gas). Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid contact with eyes, wash thoroughly
after handling. Never siphon by mouth. Avoid breathing aerosol or vapors.
Store in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture contamination. Store away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a
cool dry place Do not reseal if contamination is suspected, MDI reacts slowly with water to form CO2 gas. This can cause
o
sealed containers to expand and rupture. If container is exposed to high heat, 400 F it can be pressurized and possibly
rupture.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
o o
SHELF LIFE.................. 6 months in tightly closed full containers @ 77 F (25 C)

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ?CONTINUED
Sensitization.........MDI has been shown to produce dermal sensitization in laboratory animals.
Evidence of respiratory sensitization has also been observed in guinea pigs.
Chronic Toxicity........In a combined chronic inhalation toxicity/oncogenicity study, rats were exposed to an
aerosol
Of polymeric MDI for 6 hours per day, 5 days a week for one or two years. The exposure concentrations
were 0, 0.2, 1.0 and 6.0 mg/m3. Microscopic examination of the tissues revealed the effects of irritation
to
the nasal cavity and lungs in animals exposed to 1.0 and 6.0 mg/m3. The no observable effect level
(NOEL) was 0.2 mg/m3.
Ethylbenzene, a component of this product, has been designated by the IARC as "possibly carcinogenic
to humans" based on increased tumor incidence in laboratory animals. Overexposure may lead to
nervous system effects, including dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, headaches, paralysis, loss of
consciousness and even death. Repeated overexposure has caused a hearing loss in laboratory
animals
Carcinogenicity........In the above study (see chronic Toxicity MDI), The occurrence of pulmonary adenomas and a
single pulmonary Aden carcinoma was considered to be related to MDI. These tumors were observed
only in rats exposed to the high concentration of 6.0 mg/m3
