**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.Moisture sensitive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. Lachrymator (substance which increases the
flow of tears).
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May
cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material. Organic isocyanates can
cause local irritation and allergic reactions.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause
allergic respiratory reaction. At high concentrations, isocyanates
affect mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and may lead to
fatal pulmonary edema. Exposure to low and often even unmeasurable
isocyanate concentration results in sensitization.
Chronic:
Repeated exposure may cause allergic respiratory reaction (asthma).
Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has been reported to cause lung
damage, including decreased lung fuction, which may be permanent.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****

General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Combustible
liquid and vapor. Avoid water contamination in closed containers or
confined spaces because carbon dioxide (CO2) is evolved.
Extinguishing Media:
Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Provide
ventilation. Do not get water inside containers.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly
closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not allow contact with
water. Wash clothing before reuse. Keep from contact with moist air
and steam. Do not breathe vapor. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Keep away from heat and flame. Isocyanates react with water to form
CO2 gas. This gas can cause sealed containers to expand and possibly
rupture.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Keep refrigerated. (Store below
4C/39F.) Storage under a nitrogen blanket has been recommended.
Store in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture contamination.
Do not reseal if contamination is suspected.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 28556-81-2:


Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear chemical splash goggles.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use.
