SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

 FLASH POINT:                                107 DEGREES F. TCC
 FLAMMABLE LIMITS:                        LEL              UEL
           AROMATIC 100                         0.9%            7.0%

 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:   DRY CHEMICAL (E.G. MONOAMMONIUM, PHOSPHATE, POTASSIUM SULFATE, AND POTASSIUM CHLORIDE), CARBON DIOXIDE, HIGH EXPANSION (PROTEINIC) CHEMICAL FOAM, WATER SPRAY FOR LARGE FIRES.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:  FULL EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE WORN BY FIRE FIGHTERS.  DURING A FIRE, MDI VAPORS AND OTHER IRRITATING, HIGHLY TOXIC GASES MAY BE GENERATED BY THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OR COMBUSTION.  (SEE SECTION VII.)  AT TEMPERATURES GREATER THAN 400 DEGREES F.  (204 C), POLYMERIC MDI CAN POLYMERIZE AND DECOMPOSE WHICH CAN CAUSE PRESSURE BUILD UP IN CLOSED  CONTAINERS.  EXPLOSIVE RUPTURE IS POSSIBLE.  THEREFORE, USE COLD WATER TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS.


SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 ROUTE OF ENTRY: SKIN CONTACT FROM LIQUID AND AEROSOLS (SPRAY APPLICATION) AND INHALATION.  ALTHOUGH MDI IS LOW IN VOLATILITY, AN INHALATION HAZARD CAN EXIST FROM MDI AEROSOLS OR VAPORS FORMED DURING HEATING, OR SPRAYING.

 HUMAN EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE;
 ACUTE INHALATION:  MDI VAPORS OR MIST AT CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE THE TLV  CAN IRRITATE (BURNING SENSATION) THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES IN THE RESPIRATORY TRACT (NOSE, THROAT, LUNGS) CAUSING RUNNY NOSE. SORE THROAT, COUGHING. CHEST DISCOMFORT, SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND REDUCED LUNG FUNCTION (BREATHING OBSTRUCTION).  PERSONS WITH A PRE-EXISTING, NONSPECIFIC BRONCHIAL HYPERREACTIVITY CAN RESPOND TO CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE TLV WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS WELL AS AN ASTHMA ATTACK.  EXPOSURE WELL ABOVE THE TLV 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.

CHRONIC INHALATION: AS A RESULT OF PREVIOUS REPEATED OVEREXPOSURES OR A SINGLE LARGE DOSE, CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS WILL DEVELOP ISOCYANATE SENSITIZATION (CHEMICAL ASTHMA) WHICH WILL CAUSE THEM TO REACT TO LATER EXPOSURE TO ISOCYANATE AT LEVELS WELL BELOW THE TLV.  THESE SYMPTOMS, WHICH INCLUDE; CHEST TIGHTNESS, WHEEZING, COUGH, SHORTNESS OF BREATH OR ASTHMATIC ATTACK, COULD BE IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED UP TO SEVERAL 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 BEEN 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 VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT CAN RESULT IN DRY, DEFATTED AND CRACKED SKIN CAUSING INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INFECTION.  IN ADDITION, SKIN IRRITATION (I.E. REDNESS, SWELLING), WHICH CAN DEVELOP INTO DERMATITIS.

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.

ACUTE EYE CONTACT: LIQUID, AEROSOLS AND VAPORS 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.  IF LEFT UNTREATED, CORNEAL DAMAGE CAN OCCUR AND INJURY IS SLOW TO HEAL.   HOWEVER, DAMAGE IS USUALLY REVERSIBLE.

CHRONIC EYE CONTACT:   NONE FOUND.

ACUTE INGESTION:   CAN RESULT IN IRRITATION AND POSSIBLE CORROSIVE ACTION IN THE MOUTH, STOMACH TISSUE AND DIGESTIVE TRACT.   HOWEVER, IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A COMMON OCCUPATIONAL ROUTE OF EXPOSURE.

CHRONIC INGESTION:   NONE FOUND.

CARCINOGENICITY: NONE OF THE COMPONENTS OF THIS PRODUCT ARE LISTED BY THE NTP, IARC OR REGULATED BY OSHA AS CARCINOGENS.

MEDICAL  CONDITIONS
     AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:  ASTHMA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY DISORDERS (BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA, HYPERREACTIVITY), SKIN ALLERGIES, ECZEMA.
EXPOSURE LIMITS: NOT ESTABLISHED FOR PRODUCT AS A WHOLE.  REFER TO SECTION II FOR EXPOSURE LIMITS OF HAZARDOUS CONSTITUENTS.

EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF LUKEWARM WATER FOR MINIMUM OF 15 MINUTES, WHILE LIFTING EYELIDS. CONTACT EYE PHYSICIAN FOR IMMEDIATE FOLLOW UP.

SKIN CONTACT:  REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.  WASH SKIN THOROUGHLY WITH WATER AND SOAP.  WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS.

INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  GIVE 1 TO 2 CUPS OF MILK OR WATER TO DRINK.  DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS OR CONVULSING PERSON.  CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.

INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.  ADMINISTER OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AS NEEDED.  OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.  ASTHMATIC-TYPE SYMPTOMS MAY DEVELOP AND MAY BE IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED UP TO SEVERAL HOURS.  TREATMENT IS ESSENTIALLY SYMPTOMATIC.  CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
EYES: STAIN FOR EVIDENCE OF CORNEAL INJURY.  IF CORNEA IS BURNED, INSTILL ANTIBIOTIC/STERIOD PREPARATION FREQUENTLY.  WORKPLACE VAPORS COULD PRODUCE REVERSIBLE CORNEAL EPITHELIAL EDEMA IMPAIRING VISION.
SKIN:  THIS PRODUCT IS KNOWN SKIN SENSITIZER.  TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY AS FOR CONTACT DERMATITIS OR THERMAL BURN.                                         
INGESTION: TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ANTIDOTE.  INDUCING VOMITING IS CONTRAINDICATED BECAUSE OF THE IRRITATING NATURE OF THE PRODUCT.
INHALATION: THIS PRODUCT IS A KNOWN PULMONARY SENSITIZER.  TREATMENT IS ESSENTIALLY SYMPTOMATIC.  AN INDIVIDUAL HAVING A DERMAL OR PULMONARY SENSITIZATION REACTION TO THIS MATERIAL MUST BE REMOVED FROM ANY FURTHER EXPOSURE TO ANY ISOCYANATE.



SECTION VI - EMPLOYEE PROTECTION

REQUIRED WORK/HYGIENE PROCEDURES:  PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN SO THAT PERSONS HANDLING THIS PRODUCT DO NOT BREATHE VAPORS OR HAVE IT CONTACT THE EYES OR SKIN.  IN SPRAY OPERATIONS, PROTECTION MUST BE AFFORDED AGAINST EXPOSURE TO BOTH VAPOR AND SPRAY MIST.
EYE PROTECTION:  SAFETY GLASSES, SPLASH GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD.  CONTACT LENSES SHOULD NOT BE WORN.
SKIN PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS: CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES.   COVER AS MUCH OF THE EXPOSED SKIN AREA AS POSSIBLE WITH APPROPRIATE CLOTHING.   IF SKIN CREAMS ARE USED KEEP THE AREA COVERED TO A MINIMUM.
RESPIRATORY REQUIREMENTS: CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN TLV CAN OCCUR WHEN MDI IS SPRAYED, HEATED OR USED IN POORLY VENTILATED AREA.  IN SUCH CASE, OR WHENEVER CONCENTRATIONS OF MDI EXCEED THE TLV, RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
MUST BE WORN.  A POSITIVE PRESSURE, SUPPLIED AIR-RESPIRATOR OR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS RECOMMENDED.  IN SITUATIONS WHERE MDI IS NOT SPRAYED, HEATED OR USED IN A POORLY VENTILATED AREA, AND A SUPPLIED AIR OR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS UNAVAILABLE OR ITS USE IMPRACTICAL, AT LEAST AN AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH AN
ORGANIC VAPOR CARTRIDGE AND PARTICULATE PRE-FILTERS MUST BE WORN. HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD BE PERMITTED ONLY FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME AT RELATIVELY LOW CONCENTRATIONS (AT OR BELOW THE TLV).  HOWEVER, DUE TO THE POOR WARNING PROPERTIES OF MDI, PROPER FIT AND TIMELY REPLACEMENT OF FILTER ELEMENTS MUST BE ENSURED.  OBSERVE OSHA REGULATIONS FOR
RESPIRATOR USE (29 CFR 1910.134).
 VENTILATION  REQUIREMENTS:
EXHAUST VENTILATION SUFFICIENT TO KEEP THE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS OF MDI AND SOLVENT BELOW THE RESPECTIVE TLV BE UTILIZED.  STANDARD REFERENCE SOURCE REGARDING INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION (I.E., ACGIH INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION) SHOULD BE CONSULTED FOR GUIDANCE ABOUT ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES:
SAFETY SHOWERS AND EYEWASH STATIONS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE.  EDUCATE AND TRAIN EMPLOYEES IN SAFE USE OF PRODUCT.  FOLLOW ALL LABEL INSTRUCTIONS.
