Product Name: TRYMERTM 2000 XP Rigid Polyisocyanurate Insulation Issue Date: 11/03/2008
Inhalation: Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). Fumes or dusts generated from
cutting or grinding operations may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract and lungs. Concentrations of the
blowing agents anticipated incidental to proper handling are expected to be well below those which cause acute
inhalation effects and below exposure guidelines. Ingestion: Swallowing is unlikely because of the physical state.
Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts. May cause choking
or blockage of the digestive tract if swallowed.
3. Composition Information
Component CAS # Amount
Modified Polyisocyanurate Rigid Cellular Polymer Not applicable > 90.0 %
Hydrocarbon blowing agent(s) Not applicable < 10.0 %
Tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate 13674-84-5 < 5.0 %
4. First-aid measures
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water; remove contact lenses after the first 1-2 minutes then continue
flushing for several minutes. Only mechanical effects expected. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an
ophthalmologist.
Skin Contact: Seek first aid or medical attention as needed.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. May cause gastrointestinal blockage. Do not give laxatives. Do
not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Notes to Physician: No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms
and the clinical condition of the patient.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Water. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Soak thoroughly with
water to cool and prevent re-ignition. Cool surroundings with water to localize fire zone. Hand held dry chemical or
carbon dioxide extinguishers may be used for small fires.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). If
protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Mechanical cutting, grinding or sawing can cause formation of dusts. To
reduce the potential for dust explosion, do not permit dust to accumulate. Dense smoke is emitted when burned
without sufficient oxygen.
Hazardous Combustion Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to
combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. In smoldering or flaming
conditions, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and carbon are generated. Combustion products may include and
are not limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Combustion products may include trace amounts of: Hydrogen cyanide.
Aromatic hydrocarbons.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Recover spilled material if possible. Collect in suitable and
properly labeled containers. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure
Controls and Personal Protection.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See
Section 12, Ecological Information.

7. Handling and Storage
Handling
General Handling: This material is combustible and should not be exposed to flame or other ignition sources.
Refer to "EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION", Section 8 of the (M)SDS. No smoking,
open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area. Fabrication methods which involve cutting into
this product may release the blowing agent(s) remaining in the cells. Provide adequate ventilation to assure
localized concentrations in release areas are maintained below the lower flammable limit.
Other Precautions: Good housekeeping and controlling of dusts are necessary for safe handling of product.
Storage
Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Minimize sources of ignition, such as static build-up, heat, spark or flame.
Flammable vapors may accumulate in some storage situations. During shipment, storage, installation and use,
this material should not be exposed to flame or other ignition sources.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Limits
Component List Type Value
Cyclopentane (8CI, 9CI) ACGIH TWA 600 ppm
Isopentane ACGIH TWA 600 ppm
Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Eye protection should not be necessary. For fabrication operations safety glasses are
recommended. If there is a potential for exposure to particles which could cause eye discomfort, wear chemical
goggles.
Skin Protection: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed.
Hand protection: Use gloves to protect from mechanical injury. Selection of gloves will depend
on the task.
Respiratory Protection: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. When
respiratory protection is required for certain operations, use an approved air-purifying respirator. In dusty or misty
atmospheres, use an approved particulate respirator. The following should be effective types of air-purifying
respirators: Particulate filter.
Ingestion: No precautions necessary due to the physical properties of the material.
Engineering Controls Ventilation: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels
below the exposure guidelines.

product to decompose. Avoid static discharge.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with oxidizing materials.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur.
Thermal Decomposition
Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials. Toxic gases
are released during decomposition.
11. Toxicological Information
Repeated Dose Toxicity
Repeated exposures to dusts of this material are not anticipated to result in systemic toxicity or permanent lung
injury; however, excessive exposures may cause less severe respiratory effects.
12. Ecological Information
CHEMICAL FATE
Movement & Partitioning
No bioconcentration is expected because of the relatively high molecular weight (MW greater than 1000). In the
terrestrial environment, material is expected to remain in the soil. In the aquatic environment, material is expected
to float.
Persistence and Degradability
Surface photodegradation is expected with exposure to sunlight. No appreciable biodegradation is expected.
ECOTOXICITY
Not expected to be acutely toxic to aquatic organisms.
