ENGARD 428 H.S. URETHANE - ACTIVATOR
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Closed container
may explode when exposed to extreme heat or burst when contaminated with water.
Solvent vapors may be heavier than air. Stagnant air may cause vapors to
accumulate and travel along the ground to an ignition source which may result in
a flash back to the source of the vapor.
========================= SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA ========================
STABILITY: STABLE
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
Excessive heat, sparks or open flames.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID)
Water, amines, strong bases, alcohols, metal compounds and surface active
materials
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, traces of HCN, TDI and HDI
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: MAY OCCUR WILL NOT OCCUR
===================== SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA ========================
INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
May cause irritation of 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).
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Skin contact may cause irritation. Symptoms of skin irritation may be reddening,
swelling, scaling or blistering. Eye contact may cause tearing, reddening and
swelling of the eyes.
SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Skin absorption may cause systemic effects similar to those identified under
inhalation effects.
INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Ingestion may result in irritation and possible corrosive action in the mouth,
stomach and digestive tract.
HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)
Acute: May cause irritation of the mucous membranes, eyes, skin and throat.
Other symptoms are headache, nausea, fatigue and loss of appetite. Ingestion may
cause vomiting which may result in aspiration of the solvent resulting in
chemical pneumonitis. Chronic: May cause lung damage, skin sensitization and
neurotoxic effects including permanent brain and nervous system damage.

CARCINOGENICITY: NTP CARCINOGEN: No IARC MONOGRAPHS: Yes OSHA REGULATED: No
This material contains ethylbenzene which is classified as "possibly
carcinogenic to humans" (2B) by IARC.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Asthma and any other respiratory disorders (bronchitis, emphysema,
hyperreactivity), skin allergies and eczema.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. APPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NECESSARY.
SPLASH(EYES): FLUSH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. SPLASH(SKIN): WASH AFFECTED AREAS THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER.
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH THOROUGHLY BEFORE REUSE. FOR SEVERAL
EXPOSURES GET UNDER SAFETY SHOWER AFTER REMOVING CLOTHING, THEN GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. 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 PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
============ SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE =============
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION AND PROVIDE VENTILATION. COVER THE SPILL WITH
SAWDUST, VERMICULITE OR OTHER ABSORBENT MATERIAL. COLLECT MATERIAL IN OPEN
CONTAINERS. REMOVE CONTAINERS TO A SAFE PLACE AND ALLOW TO STAND FOR 24 TO 48
HOURS.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local
environmental control regulations. Incineration is the preferred method. Empty
containers must be handled with care due to product residue and flammable
solvent vapor. Decontaminate containers prior to disposal. DO NOT HEAT OR CUT
EMPTY CONTAINER WITH ELECTRIC OR GAS TORCH.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Ground containers during storage and
transfer operations. Store in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture
contamination. Do not reseal if contamination is suspected. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
If container is exposed to high heat, it can be pressurized and possibly rupture
explosively. TDI & HDI reacts slowly with water to form carbon dioxide (CO2)
gas. This gas can cause sealed containers to expand and possibly rupture
explosively.

====================== SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES =======================
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Use self-contained breathing apparatus where vapor concentration may be above
TLV limits. low TLV limits, use a combination vapor and particulate respirator
for spray application or a vapor respirator for non-spray applications.
VENTILATION
Exhaust ventilation sufficient to keep the airborne concentration of the
solvents, HDI and polyisocyanate below their respective TLV's must be utilized.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Chemical resistant gloves. Cover as much of the skin area as possible with
appropriate clothing.
EYE PROTECTION
Safety glasses, splash goggles or face shield . Contact lenses should not be
worn.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Safety showers and eyewash stations should be provided.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Wash hands thoroughly before eating or using the washroom. Smoke in smoking
areas only.
