Section 3 鈥? Hazards Identification
Acute Health Hazards
Inhalation: Dissocyanate vapors or mist concentration abouve the TLV or PEL, 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 (breathing obstruction). Persons with
a preexisting, nonspecific bronchial hyperreactivity can respond to concentrations below the TLV or
PEL with similar symptoms as well as asthma attack or ashtma-like symptoms. Effect may be delayed
several hours. These effects are usually reversible.
Skin: Causes irritation with symptoms of reddening, itching, and swelling. Persons previously sensitized
can experience allergic skin reaction with symptoms of reddening, itching, swelling and rash. Cured
material is difficult to remove. Contact with MDI can cause discoloration.
Eye: Casuses irrittaion with symptoms of reddening, tearing, stinging, and swelling. May cause temporary
corneal injury. Vapor or aerosol may cause irrittaion with symptoms of burning and tering.
Ingestion: May cause irritation; Symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Chronic Health Hazards
Inhalation: As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain individuals may develop
sensitization to diisocyanates (asthma or asthma-like symptoms) that may cause them to react to a later
exposure to diisocyanates at levels well below the TLV or PEL. These symptoms, which can include
MSDS 鈥? 1650A Page 2 of 7
chest tightness, wheezing, cough, shortness of breath or asthmatic attack, could be immediate or
delayed up to several hours after exposure. Extreme asthmatic reactions can be life treatening.
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. Sensitization can be permanent.
Chronic oversexposure to diisocyanates has also beeen reported to cause lung damage (including
fibrosis, decrease in lung function that may be permanent.
Skin: Prolonged contact can cause reddening, swelling, rash, and , in some cases, skin sensitization. Animal
tests on MDI indicate skin contact alone may lead to an allergic respiratory reaction.
Eye: Prolonged exposure may cause conjuntivitis.
Section 4 鈥? First Aid Measures
Inhalation Remove patient from exposure, keep warm and at rest. Obtain medical attention. Administer
oxygen or artifical respiration as needed. Asthmatic symptoms may develop and may be innediate
or delayed up to several hours. Extreme asthmatic reactions can be life threatening.
Skin Contact Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. If
irritation, redness, or a burning sensation develops and persists, obtain medical advice.
Contaminated clothing should be thoroughly cleaned before reuse. For sever expousres,
immediately get under safety shower and begin rinsing.
Eye Contact Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open
during flushing. If irritation persists repeat flushing and obtain medical attention
IMMEDIATELY.
Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Provided the patient is conscious, wash out their mouth with water.
Refer person to medical personnel for immediate attention.
Note to Physicians Eyes: Stain for evidence of corneal injury. If cornea is burned, instill antibiotic/steroid
preparation as needed. Workplace vapors could produce reversible corneal epithelial edema
impairing vision. Skin: This compound is a 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 compound. Inhalation:
Treatment is essentially symptomatic. An individual having a dermal or pulmonary sensitization
reaction to this material should be removed form further exposure to any diisocyante.
Section 5 鈥? Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, water spray for large fires.
Fire Fighting Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should wear NFPA compliant structural firefighting protective
equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus and NFPA compliant helmet, hood, boots and gloves. Avoid
contact with product. Decontaminate equipment and protective clothing prior to reuse. During a fire, isocyanate vapors
and other irritating, highly toxic gases may be generated by termal decomposition or combustion. Exposure to heated
diisocyantes can be extrememly dangerous.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Closed container may rupture under heat of fire or when contents are contaminated with
water (CO2 is formed). Keep fire-exposed containers cool with a cool-water spray and reduce the risk of rupture.
Apply water from a safe distance as the reaction between water and hot diisocyanate can be vigorous.
Section 6 鈥? Accidental Release Measures
For major spills call Chemtrec (800-424-9300)
Spills, Leaks, or Releases: Clean up should only be performed by trained personnel. People dealing with major
spillages should wear full protective clothing including respiratory protection. Evacuate the area. Prevent further
MSDS 鈥? 1650A Page 3 of 7
leakage, spillage or entry into drains. Contain and absorb large spillages onto an inert, non-flammable adsorbent carrier
(such as earth or sand). Shovel into open-top drums or plastic bags for further decontamination, if necessary. Apply lid
loosely and allow containers to vent for 72 hours to let carbon dioxide (CO2) excape. Wash the spillage area clean with
liquid decontaminant. Test atmosphere for MDI vapor. Test surface for contamination. Neutralize small spillages with
decontaminant. Remove and dispose of residues. Notify applicable government authorities if release is reportable.
Decontamination:
Neutralizaton solutions:
1. Colorimetric Laboratories Inc. (CLI) decontamination solution.
2. A mixture of 75% water, 20% non-ionic surtactant (e.g. Poly-tergent SL-62, Tergitoal TMN-10) and 5 % n-
propanol.
3. A mixture of 80% water, 20% non-ionic surtactant (e.g. Poly-tergent SL-62, Tergitoal TMN-10).
4. A mixture of 90% water, 3-8% ammonium hydroxide or concentrated ammonia, and 2% liquid detergent.
Use of Decontamination Solution: Apply and allow deactivation material to stand for at least 30 minutes before
shoveling into drums. Do not tighten the bungs.
Section 7 鈥? Handling and Storage
Storage Temperature: Ideal storage temperature is 16-30oC (60-86oF).
Storage Requirements: If material is stored at temperatures above 86 F, it will generate pressure within the container
from carbon dioxide gas. Prior to opening, carefully inspect the conainer. If the container is bulging, or there are any
other indications of pressure within the container, do not open the container. Care should be taken whenever opening
container in case of a pressure build up. Slow removal of bung closure or lid should safely remove pressure from a non-
bulging drum. Observe safety precautions whenever opening a new container. Do not breathe vapors, mists or dusts.
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne isocyanate levels below the exposure limits. Wear respiratory protection if
material is heated, sprayed, used in a confined space, or if the exposure limit is exceeded. Warning properties (irritation
of the eyes, nose and throat or odor) are not adequate to prevent overexposure from inhalation. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Do not breathe smoke and gases created by overheating or burning this material. Decomposition products can
be highly toxic and irritating.
Product is suseptable to moisture contamination. Store in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture contamination.
Do not reseal if contamination is suspected.
Other Information: Keep stocks of decontaminant (See Section 6) readily available.
Section 8 鈥? Exposure Control and Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to maintain airborne concentrations below the TLV. Suitable
respiratory equipment should be used in cases of insufficient ventilation or where operational procedures demand it.
Follow guidelines in the ACGIH publication "Industrial Ventilation". Monitoring for airborne diisocyanate should
become part of the overall emplyee exposure characterization program. NIOSH, OSHA and others have developed
sampling and analytical methods.
Respiratory Protection: Airborne MDI concentrations greater than the ACGIH TLV-TWA (TLV) or OSHA PEL-C
(PEL) can occur in inadequately ventilated enviroments when MDI is sprayed, aerosolized, or heated. In such caes,
respiratory protection must be worn. The type of respiratory protection selected must comply with the requrements set
forth in OSHA鈥檚 Respiratory Protection standard (29 CRF 1910.134). The type of respiratory protection available
includes (1) an atmosphere-supplying respirator such as a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a supplied air
respirator (SAR) in the positive pressure of continuous flow mode, or (2) an air-purifying respirator (APR). If an APR is
selected then (a) the cartridge must be equipped with an end-of-service life indicator (ESLI) certified by NIOSH, or (b) a
change out schedule, based on objective information or data that will ensure that the cartridges are changed out before
the end of their service life, must be developed and implemented. The basis for the change out schedule must be
described in the written respirator propgram. Further, if an APR is selected, the airborne diisocyanate concentration
must be no greater than 10 times the TLV or PEL, The recommended APR cartridge is an organic vapor/particulated
filter combination cartridge (OV/P100).
MSDS 鈥? 1650A Page 4 of 7
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles. If there is a potential for splashing, use a full-face shield.
Skin Protection: The following protective materials are recommended. Gloves made of neoprene, nitrile-butadiene
rubber, butyl rubber. Thin disposable gloves should be avoided for repeated or long term use. Protective clothing should
be selected to cover as much of the exposed skin area as possible with appropriate clothing to prevent skin contact.
Medical Surveillance: All applicants who are assigned to an isocyanate work area should undergo a pre-placment
medical evaluation. A history of exzema or respiratory allergies such a hay fever, are possible reasons for medical
exclusion from isocyanate areas. Applicants who have a history of adult asthma should be restricted from work with
isocyanates. Applicants with a history of prior isocyanate sensitization should be excluded from further work with
isocyanates. A comprehensive annual medical surveillance program should be instituted for all employees who are
potentially exposed to diisocyanates. Once a worker has been diagmosed a sensitized to any isocyanate, no futher
exposure can be permitted.
