3. HEALTH HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Routes of Exposure: Eyes: Yes Skin: Yes Inhalation: No
Acute Eye Contact: Liquid, vapors and mist are irritating and can cause tearing, reddening and swelling of the eyes possibly
accompanied by stinging sensation.
Acute Skin Contact: Dicyclohexylmethane 鈥? 4,4' - diisocyanate is a primary skin irritant. It reacts with protein and moisture and
can cause irritation. Symptoms of skin irritation include: redness swelling, rash, scaling and blistering.
Dicyclohexylmethane 鈥? 4,4' - diisocyanate is also a potent sensitizer. Experience indicates that direct
contact is the route of exposure most likely to cause sensitization. Once sensitized, an individual may react
even to airborne levels below the TLV with the following symptoms: itching and tingling or the earlobes
and neck, rash, hives, swelling of the arms and legs or other symptoms common to allergic dermatitis.
These symptoms may be immediate or delayed.
Chronic Skin Contact: Prolonged contact can cause reddening, swelling, rash, scaling, blistering and in some cases, skin
sensitization. Individuals who have skin sensitization can develop these symptoms from contact with
liquid or vapor. Animal tests have indicated that respiratory sensitization can result from skin contact with
Dicyclohexylmethane 鈥? 4,4' - diisocyanate.
Acute Inhalation: Inhalation of Dicyclohexylmethane 鈥? 4,4' - diisocyanate concentrations above the TLV can irritate the
mucous membranes in the respiratory tract 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 TLV with similar symptoms. Exposure well above the
TLV may lead to bronchitis, bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema. These effects are usually reversible.
Chemical or hypersensitive pneuonitis with flu-like symptoms has also been reported.

3. HEALTH HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (Continued)
Chronic Inhalation: As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose certain individuals develop isocyanate
sensitization, which will cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanate at levels well below the
TLV. These symptoms, which can include chest tightness, wheezing, cough, shortness of breath or asthma
attack could be immediate or delayed up to several hours after exposure. 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. Overexposure to isocyanates has also been reported to cause lung damage
including decrease in lung function) which may be permanent. Sensitization can either be temporary or
permanent.
Acute Ingestion: Irritation and corrosive action can occur in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract. Symptoms can
include sore throat, abdominal pain nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush with copious amount of water, preferably, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open all the
time. Refer individual to a physician or ophthalmologist for immediate follow-up.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing
thoroughly before reuse. For severe exposures, get under safety shower after removing clothing, then get medical
attention. For lesser exposures, seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists after area is washed.
Inhalation: Move to an area free from risk of further exposure Administer oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Obtain
medical attention. Asthmatic-type symptoms may develop and may be immediate or delayed up to several hours.
Consult a physician.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give one to two cups of milk or water to drink. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Consult a physician.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
More than 200 oF (Setaflash)
Flash Point:
Explosive Limits: Not applicable
Auto-Ignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, traces of hydrogen cyanide, MDI vapors or
aerosols.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Closed containers may explode when exposed to extreme heat or burst when
contaminated with water.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Full emergency equipment with self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should
be worn by firefighters. During a fire, vapors and other irritating, highly toxic gases may be generated
by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuate nonessential personnel. Remove all sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Cover the spill with sawdust or other
absorbent, shovel into suitable unsealed containers, transport to well 鈥? ventilated area (outside) and react with a neutralizing solution
of water (90%), concentrated ammonia (3 鈥? 8%), and detergent (2%). Add about ten parts of neutralizer per part of isocyanate, with
mixing. Allow standing uncovered for 48 hours to let carbon dioxide escape. Clean-up: Decontaminate floor with decontamination
solution letting stand for at least 15 minutes.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store between 77 oF and 122 oF in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture contamination. Do not reseal if contamination is
suspected. At maximum storage temperatures noted, material may slowly polymerize without hazard. Ideal storage range is 86 oF 鈥?
104 oF: If container is exposed to temperatures above 122 oF, it can be pressurized and possibly rupture violently.
Dicyclohexglmethane-4 4'diisocyanate reacts slowly with water to form carbon dioxide gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do
not breathe vapor or mists.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONNEL PROTECTION
Ventilation: Local exhaust should be used to maintain levels below the TLV when material is processed, heated or
spray applied. Standard reference sources regarding industrial ventilation should be consulted for
guidance about adequate ventilation.
Respiratory Protection: In some situations, a respirator may be necessary in addition to ventilation. Positive pressure air 鈥? supplied
respirators are mandatory when: airborne concentrations of isocyanate exceed 0.005 ppm; operations are
performed in a confined space or area with limited ventilation; or material is heated or sprayed. Air 鈥?
purifying respirators are not generally recommended due to the poor warning properties of isocyanates.
Skin Protection: Any area of skin that could potentially come in contact with this material, must be covered by a
permeation resistant barrier (i.e. rubber gloves, neoprene apron, chemical suit, etc.) When there is a
potential for splash, a full chemical suit is required. When the application results in vapor or mist, a full
permeation resistant suit including head covering, and face shield, gloves, and overshoes is required.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses, splash goggles or face shield. Contact lenses should not be worn.
Monitoring: Isocyanate exposure levels must be monitored. Monitoring of airborne isocyanates in the breathing zone
of individuals should become part of the overall employee exposure characterization program. NIOSH
and OSHA have developed monitoring techniques of isocyanates.
Medical Surveillance: Medical supervision of all employees who handle or come in contact with isocyanates is recommended.
These should include pre-employment and periodic medical exam nations with pulmonary function tests
(FEV, FVC as a minimum). Persons with asthmatic 鈥? type conditions, chronic bronchitis, or other
chronic respiratory diseases or recurrent skin eczema or sensitization should be excluded from working
with isocyanates. Once diagnosed with isocyanate sensitization, no further exposure can be permitted.
