Aggravation of Pre-Ex isting

Conditions:

Individuals with pre-ex isting sk in disorders, asthm a, allergies or k nown

sensitization m ay be m ore susceptible to the effects of this product.
Isocyanate ex posure levels m ust be m onitored. Medical supervision of
all em ployees who handle or com e in contact with isocyanates is
recom m ended (i.e. FEV, FVC). This should include pre-em ploym ent and
periodic m edical ex am inations.
Persons with asthm atic-type conditions, chronic bronchitis, other chronic
respiratory diseases, recurrent sk in eczem a or sensitization should be
ex cluded from work ing with this product. O nce sensitized no further
ex posure can be perm itted.

SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Contact:

Im m ediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 to 20

m inutes. Ensure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the
eyelids with fingers. Get im m ediate m edical attention.

Sk in Contact:

Im m ediately wash sk in with plenty of soap and water for 15 to 20

m inutes, while rem oving contam inated clothing and shoes.
Get m edical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Inhalation:

If inhaled, rem ove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial

respiration or give ox ygen by trained personnel. Seek im m ediate
m edical attention.

Ingestion:

If swallowed, do NO T induce vom iting. Call a physician or poison control

center im m ediately. Never give anything by m outh to an unconscious

person.
Note to Physicians:

Asthm atic type sym ptom s m ay develop, which m ay be im m ediate or

delayed for several hours.

O ther First Aid:

Due to possible aspiration into the lungs, DO NO T induce vom iting if

ingested. Provide a glass of water to dilute the m aterial in the
stom ach. If vom iting occurs naturally, have the person lean forward to
reduce the risk of aspiration.

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flam m able Properties:

Flam m able.
Flam m able liquid. Class I B.

Flash Point:

24F (-4.4C)

Flash Point Method:

Tag closed cup (TCC)

Auto Ignition Tem perature:

Not determ ined.

Lower Flam m able/Ex plosive

Lim it:

2%

Upper Flam m able/Ex plosive

Lim it:

11%

Fire Fighting Instructions:

Evacuate area of unprotected personnel. Use cold water spray to cool

fire ex posed containers to m inim ize risk of rupture. Do not enter
confined fire space without full protective gear. If possible, contain fire
run-off water.

Ex tinguishing Media:

Use carbon diox ide (CO 2) or dry chem ical when fighting fires involving
this m aterial.

Unsuitable Media:

Water m ay cause frothing.

Protective Equipm ent:

As in any fire, wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA),

MSHA/NIO SH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

Unusual Fire Hazards:

Do not reseal containers if contam inated with water, resin will react with
water to release carbon diox ide. As a result of the water
contam ination, pressure will build up in the sealed container causing it
to rupture.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personnel Precautions:

Evacuate area and k eep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from

entering the spill area.

Environm ental Precautions:

Avoid runoff into storm sewers, ditches, and waterways.

Spill Cleanup Measures:

Absorb spill with inert m aterial (e,g., dry sand or earth), then place in a
chem ical waste container. Provide ventilation. Collect spill with a nonspark ing tool. Place into a suitable container for disposal. Clean up
spills im m ediately observing precautions in the protective equipm ent
section. Neutralize residue with appropriate neutralizer. Do not attem pt
to neutralize large quantities of m aterial unless m easures to control
reactivity and heat generation have been tak en. After rem oval, flush
spill area with soap and water to rem ove trace residue.
Flam m able, elim inate ignition sources. Vapors can form an ignitable
m ix ture with air. . Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition
sources and flash back . Ventilate area. Use proper personal protective
equipm ent as listed in section 8.
A blank et of protein foam m ay be placed over spill for tem porary
control of isocyanate vapor.

O ther Precautions:

Pum p large quantities into closed but not sealed m etal containers.
Isocyanates will react with water and generate carbon diox ide, this
could result in the rupture of any closed containers.
Neutralize using 10 parts neutralizer to 1 part isocyanate solution. Mix
and allow to stand for 48 hrs in containers, letting evolved carbon
diox ide to vent. Neutralizer consist of 90% water, 3-8% concentrated
am m onia (or sodium carbonate), 2% detergent.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE

Handling:

Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor, aerosol or m ist.

Material will accum ulate static charges which m ay cause an electrical
spark (ignition source). Use proper grounding procedures. Do not reuse
containers without proper cleaning or reconditioning.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat,
com bustible m aterials, direct sunlight, and incom patible substances.
Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Do not reseal container
If m oisture or water contam ination is suspected. Water contam inated
m aterial in a sealed container m ay rupture due to pressure buildup.

Special Handling Procedures:

Provide appropriate ventilation/respiratory protection against

decom position products (see Section 10) during welding/flam e cutting
operations and to protect against dust during sanding/grinding of cured
product. Hazardous liquid or vapor residue m ay rem ain in em ptied
container. Do not reuse, heat, burn, pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, ex pose to spark s, flam e, or ignition sources of em pty
containers without proper com m ercial cleaning or reconditioning.

Hygiene Practices:

Wash thoroughly after handling.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION - EXPOSURE GUIDELINES

Engineering Controls:

Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local

ex haust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels below recom m ended ex posure lim its. Good general ventilation
should be sufficient to control airborne levels. W here such system s are
not effective wear suitable personal protective equipm ent, which
perform s satisfactorily and m eets O SHA or other recognized standards.
Consult with local procedures for selection, training, inspection and
m aintenance of the personal protective equipm ent.

Eye/Face Protection:

Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles as described by

29 CFR 1910.133, O SHA eye and face protection regulation, or the
European standard EN 166.

Sk in Protection Description:

Wear appropriate protective gloves and other protective apparel to

prevent sk in contact. Consult m anufacturer's data for perm eability
data.

Respiratory Protection:

A NIO SH approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor

cartridge or canister m ay be perm issible under certain circum stances
where airborne concentrations are ex pected to ex ceed ex posure lim its.
Protection provided by air purifying respirators is lim ited. Use a positive
pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an
uncontrolled release, ex posure levels are not k nown, or any other
circum stances where air purifying respirators m ay not provide adequate
protection.

O ther Protective:

Facilities storing or utilizing this m aterial should be equipped with an

eyewash and a deluge shower safety station.
