OF CARBON DIOXIDE GAS.
=============================== SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA ===============================================
STABILITY: STABLE
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
AVOID HEAT, SPARKS, OPEN FLAME AND OTHER IGNITION SOURCES, EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS AND WATER CONTACT. REACTION
WITH WATER CAN RESULT IN PRESSURE BUILDUP OF THE CONTAINER RESULTING IN RUPTURE OF THE CONTAINER.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID)
AVOID WATER, ALCOHOL, AMMONIA, AMINES, ALKALIES AND ACIDS. SOME REACTIONS CAN BE VIOLENT.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS
PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION INCLUDE ISOCYANATE VAPOR & MIST, CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, HYDROGEN CYANIDE,
NITROGEN OXIDES AND OXIDES AND UNIDENTIFIED PRODUCTS IN FUMES AND SMOKE.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: MAY OCCUR. CONTACT WITH MOISTURE OR OTHER MATERIALS WHICH REACT WITH ISOCYANATE MAY
CAUSE POLYMERIZATION.
===================================== SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA =====================================
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO VAPORS OR MISTS ARE IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. MAY
CAUSE HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, ANESTHESIA, DROWSINESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND OTHER CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS,
INCLUDING DEATH. INHALATION OF VAPORS AND MISTS OF ISOCYANATE AT CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE
LIMITS CAN IRRITATE 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. PERSONS WITH A PREEXISTING,
NONSPECIFIC BRONCHIAL HYPER REACTIVITY CAN RESPOND TO CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE INTENDED RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE
LEVEL WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS WELL AS AN ASTHMA ATTACK. EXPOSURE TO HIGHER LEVELS MAY LEAD TO BRONCHITIS,
BRONCHIAL SPASM AND PULMONARY EDEMA (FLUID IN THE LUNGS). THESE EFFECTS ARE USUALLY REVERSIBLE. CHEMICAL OR
HYPERSENSITIVE PNEUMONITIS, WITH FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS (e.g., FEVER, CHILLS) HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED.
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
SKIN: SENSITIZATION AND IRRITATION MAY DEVELOP AFTER REPEATED AND/OR PROLONGED CONTACT WITH HUMAN SKIN. EYES:
CONTACT WITH EYES MAY LEAD TO IRRITATION AND TEARING. ISOCYANATE IS REPORTED TO INDUCE CHEMICAL BURNS IN RABBIT
EYE STUDIES. A SIMILAR DEGREE OF EYE INJURY MAY DEVELOP AFTER CONTACT WITH HUMAN EYES.
SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
SKIN ABSORPTION IS BELIEVED TO GENERALLY BE TOO SLOW TO PRODUCE SIGNS OF ACUTE SYSTEMIC POISONING. HOWEVER,
ANIMAL STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT RESPIRATORY SENSITIZATION CAN BE INDUCED BY SKIN CONTACT WITH KNOWN RESPIRATORY
SENSITIZERS, INCLUDING ISOCYANATES. ISOCYANATES ARE A PRIMARY SKIN IRRITANT--THEY REACT WITH SKIN PROTEIN AND
MOISTURE AND CAN CAUSE IRRITATION. SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE: REDNESS, SWELLING, RASH, SCALING OR BLISTERING.
ISOCYANATES ARE ALSO STRONG SKIN SENSITIZERS. EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT DIRECT SKIN CONTACT IS THE ROUTE OF
EXPOSURE MOST LIKELY TO CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION. ONCE SENSITIZED, AN INDIVIDUAL MAY REACT EVEN TO AIRBORNE
LEVELS BELOW THE TLV WITH THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS; ITCHING AND TINGLING OF THE EARLOBES AND NECK, RASH, HIVES,
SWELLING OF THE ARMS AND LEGS OR OTHER SYMPTOMS COMMON TO ALLERGIC DERMITITUS. THESE SYMPTOMS MAY BE IMMEDIATE
OR DELAYED SEVERAL HOURS. PROLONGED CONTACT 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.

REACTION TO THIS MATERIAL SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM ANY EXPOSURE TO ISOCYANATE.
============================ SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE ===========================
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
SMALL SPILLS:
CLEAR THE AREA OF UNNECESSARY PERSONNEL. SHUT DOWN HVAC EQUIPMENT IF INSIDE BUILDING OR NEAR HVAC SYSTEM TO
PREVENT CONTAMINATING BUILDING. VENTILATE AREA AS VAPORS ARE HARMFUL, HEAVIER THAN AIR AND ARE FLAMMABLE OR
COMBUSTIBLE AND MAY MIGRATE TO AN IGNITION SOURCE. USE ONLY EXPLOSION PROOF EQUIPMENT. INSURE A TRAINED RESPONSE
TEAM IS IN EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. PREVENT FURTHER SPILLAGE AND CONTAIN THE SPILL USING DIKES MADE OF
SAND, EARTH OR SPILL PILLOWS. COVER THE SPILL AREA WITH A NON-COMBUSTIBLE ADSORBENT MATERIAL (E.G., ADSORBENT
CLAY, EARTH, SAND) TO ABSORB AS MUCH LIQUID AS POSSIBLE. USING NON SPARKING TOOLS, CAREFULLY SHOVEL THE ADSORBENT
INTO OPEN TOP CONTAINERS. DO NOT FILL TO THE TOP OR COVER THE CONTAINERS. PREPARE A DECONTAMINATING SOLUTION AS
FOLLOWS: OPTION 1: CONSISTS OF A SOLUTION 90% WATER, 8% CONCENTRATED AMMONIA SOLUTION AND 2% LIQUID DETERGENT.
OPTION 2: CONSISTS OF A SOLUTION 90-95% WATER, 5-10% SODIUM CARBONATE AND 0.2- 0.5% LIQUID DETERGENT.
POUR THE LIQUID DECONTAMINATE LIBERALLY OVER THE REMAINING SPILL AREA AND SPREAD WITH A BROOM OR SQUEEGEE TO
INSURE CONTACT. LET STAND 10-15 MINUTES @25C(77F), LONGER AT LOWER TEMPERATURES. THEN WASH DOWN THE AREA WITH
PLENTY OF WATER. IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA, ADD ENOUGH LIQUID DECONTAMINATE SOLUTION TO THE CONTAINERS WITH THE
ABSORBED SPILL MATERIAL TO OBTAIN AN APPROXIMATE 10:1 RATIO OF DECONTAMINATE SOLUTION TO SPILL MATERIAL. MIX THE
LIQUID-ADSORBENT SLURRY AND LET STAND FOR 12-24 HOURS. STIR PERIODICALLY, OR THE LIQUID-ADSORBENT SLURRY MAY
SOLIDIFY. LEAVE THE LIDS ON LOOSELY. AFTER DECONTAMINATION SOLUTION HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE SPILLED MATERIAL
FOR 24-48 HOURS, AND THE EVOLVED CARBON DIOXIDE HAS VENTED AWAY, TIGHTEN DOWN THE LIDS AND DISPOSE OF THE MIXTURE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. TEST THE AREA FOR RESIDUAL SOLVENT AND ISOCYANATE VAPORS
BEFORE ALLOWING WORKERS TO RE-ENTER THE AREA. WHEN SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN RE-ESTABLISHED, REMOVE AND
DECONTAMINATE ALL EQUIPMENT USED.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
HTS 554 PT A WHITE Page: 4
LARGE SPILLS:
CLEAR THE AREA OF ALL NON-ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL. STAY UP-WIND TO AVOID BREATHING VAPOR. IF INSIDE A BUILDING, OR
NEAR HVAC EQUIPMENT, SHUT DOWN THE HVAC SYSTEM AND VENTILATE THE AREA AS VAPORS ARE HARMFUL AND FLAMMABLE OR
COMBUSTIBLE AND MAY MIGRATE TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION.(IF MECHANICAL VENTILATION EQUIPMENT IS TO BE USED TO
VENTILATE THE AREA, USE ONLY EXPLOSION PROOF EQUIPMENT). PREVENT ACCESS TO AREA. NOTIFY THE APPROPRIATE STATE,
LOCAL AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES AS WELL AS THE MATERIAL SUPPLIER. INSURE A TRAINED RESPONSE TEAM IS IN APPROPRIATE
EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT. PREVENT FURTHER SPILLAGE. CONTAIN THE SPILL USING SAND BAGS, SPILL PILLOWS, DIRT DIKES, ETC.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS MATERIAL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER DRAINS. THE REACTION WITH WATER CAN BE VIOLENT AND
FORMS AN INSOLUABLE MATERIAL WHICH MAY CAUSE BLOCKAGE. IF THIS MATERIAL DOES ENTER DRAINS, FLUSH WITH AMPLE
QUANTITIES OF WATER AND NOTIFY THE SEWER AUTHORITY IMMEDIATELY. ABSORB THE SPILL AND DECONTAMINATE THE SPILL AREA
AND ABSORBED MATERIAL AS IN SMALL SPILL ABOVE. WASH DOWN THE AREA ONE MORE TIME WITH THE DECONTAMINATION
SOLUTION. TEST THE ATMOSPERE FOR RESIDUAL SOLVENT AND ISOCYANATE VAPORS BEFORE ALLOWING OTHERS TO RE-ENTER THE
AREA. WHEN SAFE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN REESTABLISHED, REMOVE AND DECONTAMINATE ALL EQUIPMENT USED.
SOLIDIFIED SPILLAGE:
WHERE SPILLS HAVE SOLIDIFIED, SANDBLASTING IS THE PREFERRED REMOVAL METHOD, PARTICULARLY FOR ROAD SPILLS. WEAR
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR SANDBLASTING, ALONG WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING EQUIPMENT.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
DISPOSE OF CONTAMINATED PRODUCT AND MATERIALS USED IN CLEANING UP SPILLS OR LEAKS IN A MANNER APPROVED FOR THIS
MATERIAL. CONSULT APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATORY AGENCIES TO ASCERTAIN PROPER DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES. EMPTY CONTAINERS WILL RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE AND VAPORS AND ARE SUBJECT TO PROPER WASTE DISPOSAL, AS
ABOVE.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
STORE IN A COOL, DRY WELL VENTILATED AREA IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINERS TO PREVENT MOISTURE CONTAMINATION. UNUSED
PRODUCT REMAINING IN OPENED CONTAINERS MUST BE PURGED WITH DRY NITROGEN BEFORE RESEALING TO PREVENT CO2 PRESSURE
BUILD-UP DUE TO MOISTURE CONTAMINATION. IF MOISTURE OR WATER CONTAMINATION IS SUSPECTED, DO NOT RESEAL. OPEN
SEALED DRUMS SLOWLY TO RELEASE ANY PRESSURE DUE TO POSSIBLE CO2 PRESSURE BUILD-UP.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT PUNCTURE, CUT, GRIND, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER OR DRILL ON OR NEAR THIS CONTAINER OR OTHERWISE EXPOSE SUCH
CONTAINER TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICAL CHARGES, ELECTRICITY OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. THEY MAY
EXPLODE AND/OR EMIT TOXIC VAPORS RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. CLOSED CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE DUE TO PRESSURE
BUILD-UP IF EXPOSED TO WATER OR MOISTURE OR EXTREME HEAT. CONTAINERS, EVEN THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN EMPTIED, WILL
RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE AND VAPORS. ALWAYS OBEY HAZARD WARNINGS AND HANDLE EMPTY CONTAINERS AS IF THEY WERE FULL.
DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN OR ON CLOTHING. AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED BREATHING OF VAPOR OR SPRAY MIST. USE
ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
======================================== SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES ====================================
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
FOLLOW OSHA REGULATION 29 CFR 1910.134 FOR RESPIRATOR USE. WHERE OVER SPRAY IS PRESENT, OR IF CONCENTRATION OF
SOLVENTS AND ISOCYANATES IS NOT KNOWN OR ARE ABOVE THE EXPOSURE GUIDELINE OF .005 PPM FOR ISOCYANATES, USE
POSITIVE PRESSURE, AIR SUPPLIED EQUIPMENT SINCE AIR PURIFYING (CARTRIDGE TYPE) RESPIRATORS ARE NOT APPROVED FOR
PROTECTION FROM ISOCYANATES.
VENTILATION
IF CURRENT VENTILATION PRACTICES DURING MIXING AND APPLICATION OPERATIONS ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE,
USE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION CAPABLE OF MAINTAINING EMISSIONS AT THE POINT OF USE BELOW THE PEL OR TLV OR OTHER
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES, AS APPROPRIATE. VENTILATION RATES SHOULD BE MATCHED TO CONDITIONS. MECHANICAL EXHAUST
VENTILATION, WITH VOLUME AND PATTERN CAPABLE OF MAINTAINING A FRESH AIR SUPPLY, MAY BE NECESSARY IN CONFINED
SPACES. REFER TO OSHA STANDARD 29CFR 1910.94 AND/OR ACGIH INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION FOR GUIDANCE ABOUT ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. TURN OFF HEATING AND/OR AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT CONTAMINATING BUILDING.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES DETERMINED TO BE IMPERVIOUS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF USE.
EYE PROTECTION
CHEMICAL GOGGLES. IF SPLASHING MAY OCCUR OR DURING SPRAY OPERATIONS WEAR A FACE SHIELD, UNLESS A FULL FACE PIECE
RESPIRATOR IS USED. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES AS THEY MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE SEVERITY OF INJURY TO THE EYE FROM
EXPOSURE TO LIQUID AND/OR VAPORS AND SPRAY MIST.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
ADDITIONAL PROTECTION MAY CONSIST OF APRONS, ARM COVERS OR A FULL BODY SUIT. TESTING OF SOME COMMERCIALLY
AVAILABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING INDICATES THAT CLOTHING CONSTRUCTED OF BUTYL RUBBER, NITRILE RUBBER, SARANEX COATED
TYVEK AND SOME NEOPRENE GARMENTS HAVE EXCELLENT RESISTANCE TO PERMEATION BY ISOCYANATES. CLOTHING CONSTRUCTED OF
NEOPRENE/LATEX RUBBER AND SOME PVC GARMENTS EXHIBITED LIMITED RESISTANCE TO PERMEATION BY ISOCYANATES. CLOTHING
CONSTRUCTED OF POLYETHYLENE, LATEX RUBBER, PVC OR POLYLAMINATED TYVEK SHOWED LITTLE RESISTANCE TO PERMEATION BY
ISOCYANATES. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE SELECTED AND USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH "GUIDELINES FOR THE SELECTION OF
CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING" PUBLISHED BY ACGIH. (AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS).
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES
WASH AT THE END OF EACH WORKSHIFT AND BEFORE EATING, SMOKING OR USING THE TOILET. PROMPTLY REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING AND LAUNDER BEFORE WEARING.DISCARD CONTAMINATED LEATHER ARTICLES. EXAMINE PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND CLOTHING
BEFORE USE. DISCARD UPON FINDING EVIDENCE OF HOLES CRACKS OR LEAKS.

====================== SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE ==============================
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
DIKE AND ABSORB WITH INERT MATERIAL SUCH AS SAND. SCOOP UP WITH NON-SPARKING TOOLS AND PLACE IN APPROVED DOT
CONTAINERS FOR DISPOSAL. KEEP OUT OF SEWERS, STORM DRAINS, SURFACE WATERS AND SOIL. TIGHTLY CLOSE DISPOSAL
CONTAINER, EXCEPT IF MATERIAL HAS BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH MOISTURE OR WATER DURING CLEANING OPERATIONS. LEAVE
LID OF CONTAINER LOOSE FOR 48 HOURS. ALLOW REACTION TO COME TO EQUILIBRIUM TO PREVENT PRESSURE BUILD-UP AND
POSSIBLE CONTAINER RUPTURE.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
DISPOSE OF UNUSED PRODUCT OR CONTAMINATED PRODUCT AND MATERIALS USED IN CLEANING UP SPILLS OR LEAKS IN A
MANNER APPROVED FOR THIS MATERIAL. CONSULT APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATORY AGENCIES TO
ASCERTAIN PROPER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES. INCINERATION IS ACCEPTABLE AND THE PREFERRED METHOD OF DISPOSAL,
HOWEVER; NITROGEN OXIDE EMISSIONS CONTROLS MAY BE REQUIRED TO MEET SPECIFICATIONS. CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL
DEGRADATION IS POSSIBLE. A SUITABLE INDUSTRIAL OR MUNICIPAL WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM CAN BE USED DEPENDING ON
THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF WASTE TO BE TREATED, THE TREATMENT PLANT CAPABILITY, AND DISCHARGE WATER QUALITY
STANDARDS. DISPOSE OF IN AN APPROVED LANDFILL IF ALLOWED LOCALLY. EMPTY CONTAINERS WILL RETAIN PRODUCT
RESIDUE AND VAPORS AND ARE SUBJECT TO PROPER WASTE DISPOSAL, AS ABOVE.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
STORE IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINERS TO PREVENT MOISTURE CONTAMINATION. UNUSED PRODUCT REMAINING IN OPENED
CONTAINERS MUST BE PURGED WITH DRY NITROGEN BEFORE RESEALING TO PREVENT CO2 PRESSURE BUILD-UP DUE TO MOISTURE
CONTAMINATION. IF MOISTURE OR WATER CONTAMINATION IS SUSPECTED, DO NOT RESEAL. STORE IN A COOL DRY, WELL
VENTILATED AREA. OPEN SEALED DRUMS SLOWLY TO RELEASE ANY PRESSURE DUE TO POSSIBLE CO2 PRESSURE BUILD-UP. DO
NOT PUNCTURE, CUT, GRIND, BRAZE, WELD OR DRILL ON OR NEAR THIS CONTAINER. CONTAINERS, EVEN THOSE THAT HAVE
BEEN EMPTIED, WILL CONTAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE AND VAPORS. ALWAYS OBEY HAZARD WARNINGS AND HANDLE EMPTY CONTAINERS
