Primary Routes of Exposure Inhalation, skin, eye, ingestion Inhalation, skin contact, skin absorption, eye
contact, ingestion
Potential Health Effects Inhalation: Excessive inhalation Acute Inhalation: HDI vapors or mist at
of vapors can cause nasal and concentrations above the applicable exposure
respiratory irritation, dizziness, limits can irritate (burning sensation) the mucous
fatigue, nausea, headache, membranes in the respiratory tract (nose, throat,
possible unconsciousness, and lungs) causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing,
even asphyxiation. chest discomfort, shortness of breath and
reduced lung function (breathing obstruction).
Persons with a preexisting, nonspecific bronchial
hyperreactivity can respond to concentrations
below the exposure limits with similar symptoms
as well as an asthma attack. Exposure well
above the exposure limits may lead to bronchitis,
bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in
lungs). These effects are usually reversible.
Chemical or hypersensitive pneumonitis, with flu-
like symptoms (e.g., fever, chills) has also been
reported. Solvent vapors may be irritating to the
eyes, nose and throat. Symptoms of irritation
may include redness, burning, and itching of the
eyes, dryness of the throat and tightness of the
chest. Other possible symptoms of overexposure
include headache, nausea, narcosis, fatigue and
loss of appetite. A concentration of 200 ppm BA
can cause eye, nose and throat irritation. At 300
ppm these effects can become severe. Persons
exposed to 200 ppm of xylene experienced eye,
nose and throat irritation. Concentrations of
10,000 ppm of xylene can be immediately
dangerous to life and health.

moderate skin irritation, will develop isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma)
defatting, dermatitis. which will cause them to react to a later exposure to
isocyanates at levels well below applicable exposure
limits. These symptoms, which include chest tightness,
wheezing, cough, shortness of breath or asthmatic attack,
could be immediate or delayed up to severl 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 persist for weeks and in severe cases for
several years. Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has
also been reported to cause lung damage, including
decrease in lung function, which may be permanent.
Sensitization may be either temporary or permanent.
Chronic exposure to organic solvents has bee associated
with various neurotoxic effects including permanent brain
and nervous system damage. Symptoms include loss of
memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.
Acute Skin Contact: Isocyanates react with skin protein
and moisture and can cause irritation. Symptoms of skin
irritation may be reddening, swelling, rash, scaling or
blistering. Some persons may develop skin sensitization
from skin contact. Cured material is difficult to remove.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact with solvents can
result in dry, defatted and cracked skin causing increased
susceptibility to infection. In addition, skin irritation (i.e.,
redness, swelling), which may develop into dermatitis, may
occur from skin contact. Solvents can penetrate the skin
and may cause systemic effects similar to those identified
under acute inhalation symptoms.
Chronic Skin Contact: Prolonged contact with the
isocyanate can cause reddening, swelling, rash, scaling
or blistering. In those who have developed a skin
sensitization, these symptoms can develop as a result of
contact with very small amounts of liquid material or even
as a result of vapor-only exposure. Chronic skin
exposure to solvents may cause effects similar to those
identified under chronic inhalation effects.
Acute Eye Contact: Liquid, aerosols and vapos of this
product (isocyanate and solvents) are irritating and can
cause tearing, reddening and swelling accompanied by a
stinging sensation and/or a feeling like that of fine dust in
the eyes.
Chronic Eye Contact: May result in corneal opacity
(clouding of the eye surface). Prolonged vapor contact
may cause conjunctivitis.
