HEALTH HAZARD
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Not a likely route of entry into the body in commercial or industrial
environments. The liquid may produce considerable gastrointestinal discomfort
and be harmful or toxic if swallowed. Ingestion may cause nausea, pain and
vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by aspiration can cause inflammation of the
lungs, which can lead to death.
EYE
The liquid is highly discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing a mild,
temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary
impairment of vision and/ or other transient eye damage/ ulceration
The vapour is discomforting to the eyes
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
SKIN
The liquid is discomforting to the skin if exposure is prolonged and is capable
of causing skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption
Bare unprotected skin should not be exposed to this material The material may
accentuate any pre-existing skin condition
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles,
scaling and thickening of the skin.
INHALED
The liquid is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract and may cause in some
cases, sensitisation
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Isocyanate vapours are irritating to the airways and can cause their
inflammation, with wheezing, gasping, severe distress, even loss of
consciousness and fluid in the lungs. Nervous system symptoms that may occur
include headache, sleep disturbance, euphoria, inco-ordination, anxiety,
depression and paranoia. Digestive effects include nausea and vomiting.
Breathing difficulties may occur unpredictably after a period of tolerance and
after skin contact. Allergic inflammation of the skin can occur, with rash,
itching, blistering, and swelling of the hands and feet. Sensitive people can
react to very low levels and should not be exposed to this material.
Sensitisation reactions may appear suddenly after repeated
symptom free exposures
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition

HEALTH HAZARD ...
Inhalation of high concentrations of gas/vapour causes lung irritation with
coughing and nausea, central nervous depression with headache and dizziness,
slowing of reflexes, fatigue and inco-ordination.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of vapour and skin
contact/absorption
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and
liver and blood changes. [PATTYS]
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with
drying, cracking, irritation and dermatitis following.
Persons with a history of asthma or other respiratory problems or are known to
be sensitised, should not be engaged in any work involving the handling of
isocyanates [CCTRADE-Bayer, APMF]
FIRST AID
SWALLOWED
Rinse mouth out with plenty of water.
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
Observe the patient carefully.
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconsciousness
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.
If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down,
lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye
and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin:
Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.
DO NOT use solvents.
Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.

HEALTH HAZARD ...
INHALED
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where
possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
For acute or short term repeated exposures to xylene:
Gastro-intestinal absorption is significant with ingestions. For ingestions
exceeding 1-2 ml (xylene)/kg, intubation and lavage with cuffed endotracheal
tube is recommended. The use of charcoal and cathartics is equivocal.
Pulmonary absorption is rapid with about 60-65% retained at rest.
Primary threat to life from ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure.
Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g.
cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen.
Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 < 50 mm
Hg or pCO2 > 50 mm Hg) should be intubated.
Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and
electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported;
intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously
symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that
hyperventilation improves clearance.
A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and
circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm because
of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled cardioselective
bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred agents, with
aminophylline a second choice.
BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDEX - BEI
These represent the determinants observed in specimens collected from a healthy
worker exposed at the Exposure Standard (ES or TLV):
Determinant Index Sampling Time Comments
Methylhippu-ric 1.5 gm/gm End of shift
acids in urine creatinine
2 mg/min Last 4 hrs of
shift
For sub-chronic and chronic exposures to isocyanates:
This material may be a potent pulmonary sensitiser which causes bronchospasm
even in patients without prior airway hyperreactivity.
Clinical symptoms of exposure involve mucosal irritation of respiratory and
gastrointestinal tracts.
Conjunctival irritation, skin inflammation (erythema, pain vesiculation) and
gastrointestinal disturbances occur soon after exposure.
Pulmonary symptoms include cough, burning, substernal pain and dyspnoea.
Some cross-sensitivity occurs between different isocyanates.
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and bronchospasm are the most serious
consequences of exposure. Markedly symptomatic patients should receive oxygen,
ventilatory support and an intravenous line.
Treatment for asthma includes inhaled sympathomimetics (epinephrine [adrenalin],
terbutaline) and steroids.
Activated charcoal (1 g/kg) and a cathartic (sorbitol, magnesium citrate) may be
useful for ingestion.

HEALTH HAZARD ...
Mydriatics, systemic analgesics and topical antibiotics (Sulamyd) may be used
for corneal abrasions.
There is no effective therapy for sensitised workers.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux; Medical Toxicology]
NOTE: Isocyanates cause airway restriction in naive individuals with the degree
of response dependant on the concentration and duration of exposure. They induce
smooth muscle contraction which lead to bronchoconstrictive episodes. Acute
changes in lung function, such as decreased FEV1, may not represent sensitivity.
[Karol & Jin, Frontiers in Molecular Toxicology, pp 56-61, 1992]
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
EXPOSURE STANDARDS
None assigned. Refer to individual constituents.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area or Local exhaust ventilation may be required for
safe working, i.e. to keep exposures below required standards, otherwise PPE is
required.
Spraying must be carried out in conditions conforming to local State
regulations. Local exhaust ventilation and full face air supplied breathing
apparatus (hood or helmet type) are required. Unprotected personnel must vacate
the spraying area.
Note: Organic vapour respirators are not protection for sensitised workers.
Refer to protective measures for other components used with this product. Avoid
breathing dust when sanding. If dust inhalation risk exists wear S.A.A. approved
dust respirator. If possible use wet sanding techniques to avoid generating
dust.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities
which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air
required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant Air Speed
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone or rapid air
motion)
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE ...
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 4-10 m/s (800-2000 f/min.)
for extraction of solvents generated by spraying at a point 2 meters distant
from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing
performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that
theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when
extraction systems are installed or used.
In confined spaces where there is inadequate ventilation, wear full-face air
supplied breathing apparatus
Refer also to protective measures for the other component used with the product.
Read both MSDS before using; store and attach MSDS together.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
Safety glasses with side shields; or as required, Chemical goggles. Contact
lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses
concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
Polyethylene gloves or
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear.
DO NOT use skin cream unless necessary and then use only minimum amount.
Isocyanate vapour may be absorbed into skin cream and this increases hazard.
OTHER
Overalls.
Eyewash unit.
RESPIRATOR
Respiratory protection may be required when ANY "Worst Case" vapour-phase
concentration is exceeded (see Computer Prediction in "Exposure Standards").
