**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Very toxic by inhalation. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and
skin. May cause sensitization by inhalation.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. Contact with eyes may cause severe
irritation, and possible eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which
increases the flow of tears).
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Organic isocyanates can cause local irritation and allergic
reactions. Isocyanates, in general, can cause skin discoloration
(staining) and hardening of the skin after repeated exposures.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May
cause allergic respiratory reaction. May cause irritation of the
respiratory tract with burning pain in the nose and throat, coughing,
wheezing, shortness of breath and pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
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:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with soap and plenty of
water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
POISON material. If inhaled, get medical aid immediately. Remove
victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Containers may explode when heated. Fire or excessive heat may
result in violent rupture of the container due to bulk
polymerization. Combustible liquid and vapor. Approach fire from
upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products.
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition
and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in
low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, 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:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Do
not get water inside containers. Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
Approach spill from upwind.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not pressurize, cut,
weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to
heat, sparks or open flames. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.
Do not breathe vapor or mist. Inform laundry personnel of
contaminant's hazards. Isocyanates react with water to form CO2 gas.
This gas can cause sealed containers to expand and possibly rupture.
Use only with adequate ventilation or respiratory protection. Never
work alone with this chemical.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not
in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. 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 process enclosure,
local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
airborne levels. Use adequate general or local explosion-proof
ventilation to keep airborne levels to acceptable levels.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 2909-38-8:
Russia: 0.5 mg/m3 TWA
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. Follow the OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or
European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or
European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if
exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or
other symptoms are experienced.
