Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: WARNING! Toxic gasses/fumes may be given off during burning or thermal
decomposition. Closed container may forcibly rupture under extreme heat, or when contents have been
contaminiated with water. Use cold water spray to cool fire exposed containers to minimize the risk of rupture.
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Harmful if inhaled. Respiratory
sensitizer. Lung damage and respiratory sensitization may be permanent. Causes skin irritation. May cause
allergic skin reaction. Skin sensitizer. Animal tests indicate that skin contact alone may lead to allergic
respiratory reaction. Causes eye irritation. May cause lung damage.
Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.
Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction.
Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: May cause nose and throat irritation. May cause lung irritation. May
cause allergic respiratory reaction, effects may be permanent.
Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: May cause irritation. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea.
Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Inhalation: As a result of previous repeated overexposures or
a single large dose, certain individuals may develop sensitization to isocyanates (asthma or asthma like
symptoms) that may cause them to react to a later exposure to diisocyanates at levels below the TLV or PEL.
These symptoms, which can include 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
threatening.
Skin: Prolonged contact can cause 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: Prolonged vapor contact may cause conjuntivitis.
Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact
Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure: Asthma, other respiratory disorders (bronchitis,
emphysema, bronchial hyperreactivity), skin allergies, eczema. May cause or aggravate dermititus and asthma.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid - Eye Contact: If material gets into eyes, flush with water immediately for 15 minutes. Consult a
physician.
First Aid - Skin Contact: In case of contact, wash skin immediately with soap and water.
First Aid - Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Administer oxygen if necessary. Consult a physician if
symptoms persist or exposure was severe.
First Aid - Ingestion: If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point, F: 230F (110C) Lower Explosive Limit, %: N/D
Upper Explosive Limit, %: N/D
(Setaflash)
Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: Water contamination will produce Carbon Dioxide. Do not reseal
contaminated containers as pressure buildup may rupture them.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Full emergency equipment with self-contained breathing apperatus and full
protective clothing should be worn by firefighters. During a fire, MDI vapors and other irritating, highly toxic
gasses may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. ( See stability and reactivity). At
temperatures greater than 400F (204C), polymeric MDI can polymerize and decompose which can cause
pressure build-up in closed containers. Explosive rupture is possible. Therefore, use cold water to cool fire-
exposed containers. Since this product is water reactive, use DRY chemical powder for small fire. Use water
spray, fog or foam for large fire. Do NOT use water jet.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: SMALL SPILL AND LEAK: Clean-up should only be
performed by trained personnel. People dealing with major spillages should wear full protective clothing
including appropriate respiratory protection. Evacuate the area. Prevent further leakage, spillage or entry into
drains.
LARGE SPILL AND LEAK: Contain and absorb large spillages into an inert, non-flammable absorbant carrier
(such as earth or sand). Shovel into open-top drums or plastic bags for further decontamination, if necessary.
Wash the spillage area clean with liquid decontaminant. Test atmosphere for MDI. Neutralize small spillages
with decontaminant. Remove and properly dispose of residues. Evacuate and ventilate spill area; dike spill to
prevent entry into water system; wear full protective equipment, including respiratory equipment during
cleanup. Major Spill: If temporary control of isocyanate is required, a blanket of protein foam (available at most
fire departments) may be placed over the spill. Large quantities may be pumped into closed, but not sealed ,
container for disposal. Minor Spill: Absorb isocyanates with sawdust or other absorbent, shovel into suitable
unsealed containers, transport to well-ventilated area (outside) and treat with neutralizing solution: mixture of
water (80%) with non-ionic surfactant Tergitol TMN-10 (20%), or water (90%), concentrated ammonia (3 - 8%)
and detergent (2%). Add about 10 parts neutralizer per part of isocyanate, with mixing. Allow to stand
uncovered for 48 hours to let C02 escape. Clean up: decontaminate floor with decontamination solution letting
stand for at least 15 minutes.
Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Refer to Section 15 for SARA Title III and
CERCLA information.
Section 7 - Handling And Storage
Handling: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Wear
personal protection equipment. Do not breathe vapors. Wash thoroughly after handling. If pouring or
transferring materials, ground all containers and tools. Do not weld, heat, cut or drill on full or empty containers.
Use only in accordance with Carboline application instructions, container label and Product Data Sheet.
Storage: STORAGE TEMPERATURE: minimum: 64F (17.78C); maximum: 104F (40C).
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation when required to keep below health exposure
guidelines and Lower Explosion Limit (LEL).
Respiratory Protection: Use only with ventilation to keep levels below exposure guidelines listed in Section 2.
User should test and monitor exposure levels to ensure all personnel are below guidelines. If not sure, or not
able to monitor, use MSHA/NISOH approved supplied air respirator. Follow all current OSHA requirements for
respirator use.
Skin Protection: Recommend impervious gloves and clothing to avoid skin contact. If material penetrates to
skin, change gloves and clothing. The use of protective creams may be beneficial to certain individuals.
Protective creams should be applied before exposure.
Eye Protection: Recommend safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles to avoid eye contact.
Other protective equipment: Eye wash and safety showers should be readily available.
Hygienic Practices: Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or using
toilet facilities. Use of a hand cleaner is recommended. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Leather
shoes can absorb and allow hazardous materials to pass through. Check shoes carefully after soaking before
reuse.
