5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Decomposes on heating emitting toxic and/or irritating fumes
including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fire fighters to wear Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in confined spaces,
in oxygen deficient atmospheres or if exposed to products of decomposition. Full protective clothing is also
recommended.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding fire situation. Use foam, water spray
(fog), CO2 or dry powder. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and for large fires.
HAZCHEM CODE: None allocated [Aust]
FLAMMABILITY
This product is not flammable.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Material may be slippery when spilt. Walk cautiously. Ventilate area. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and
eye contact, as outlined under personal protection in this MSDS. Bund area using sand or soil - to prevent run off into
drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand, vermiculite or other inert material). Collect and seal in properly
labelled containers for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Store away from oxidizing
agents. Keep containers closed, when not using the product. Store in original packages as approved by manufacturer.
Purge with nitrogen and close container when not in use. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the workplace.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards
No exposure standards are available for this product, however, the following exposure standards have been assigned by
[NOHSC] to the following components of the product:

No Exposure details available
Material Safety Data Sheet
Page 3 of 6 Issue date: March 2008
Erathane BS22 Polyol
1,1-DICHLORO-1-FLUOROETHANE
No exposure standards have been assigned by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (NOHSC)
Engineering Controls
Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. In most circumstances natural ventilation systems are adequate unless the
material is heated, reacted or otherwise changed in some type of chemical reaction, then the use of a local exhaust
ventilation system is recommended. If exhaust ventilation is not available or inadequate, use approved respirator to
Australian Standards.
Personal Protection Equipment
CLOTHING: Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent skin contact.
GLOVES: Wear impervious gloves to prevent skin contact - PVC or natural rubber.
EYES: Wear safety glasses with side shields, chemical goggles or face shield to protect eyes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Where required, select and use respirators in accordance with AS/NZS 1715/1716.
The use of a respirator for organic vapours with disposable or with replaceable filters is recommended. Filter capacity
and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant. If entering spaces where the airborne
concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive
pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other acceptable International Standard is
recommended.
