脴This product is classed: Flammable.
脴Possibility of irritation to the eyes.
脴Possibility of skin sensitisation. The preparation may also irritate the skin and prolonged contact may
aggravate this effect.
4 - FIRST AID.
脴As a general rule, in case of doubt or if symptoms persist, always call a doctor.
脴NEVER induce swallowing in an unconscious person.
In the event of exposure by inhalation.
脴If a large quantity is inhaled, move the patient into the fresh air and keep him/her warm and still.
In the event of splashes or contact with eyes.
脴Wash thoroughly with soft, clean water for 15 minutes holding the eyelids open.
脴Refer the patient to an ophthalmologist, in particular if there is any redness, pain or visual impairment.
脴Regardless of the initial state, refer the patient to an ophthalmologist and show him the label.
In the event of splashes or contact with skin.
脴Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water or a recognised
cleaner.
脴DO NOT use solvents or thinners.
In the event of swallowing.
脴In the event of swallowing, if the quantity is small (no more than one mouthful), rinse the mouth with
water and consult a doctor.
脴Call a doctor immediately and show him the label.
N/A !
5 - FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
脴Chemical powders, carbon dioxide and other extinguishing gas are suitable for small fires.
In the event of fire, the recommended extinguishing agents are:
脴Carbon dioxide, chemical powders, foams, and other extinguishing gases.
脴In the event of fire, use specifically suitable extinguishing agents. Never use water.
Safety data sheet Polystria hardener Page 2/5
Version 17/07/02
Extinguishing agents not to be used
脴Water is not generally recommended since it can be ineffective; however, it can be used successfully
to cool containers exposed to the fire and to disperse fumes.
脴A fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous
to health.
脴Do not breathe in smoke.
脴Prevent the effluent of fire-fighting measures from entering drains or waterways.
Special equipment for fire-fighting personnel.
脴Fire-fighting personnel are to be equipped with autonomous insulating breathing apparatus.
6 - MEASURES TO BE TAKEN IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL SPILLAGE
Safety precautions:
脴Eliminate any possible source of ignition and ventilate the premises.
脴On account of the organic solvents contained in the preparation, eliminate sources of ignition and
ventilate the premises.
脴Avoid inhaling the fumes.
脴Avoid any contact with the skin and eyes.
脴Consult the safety measures listed under headings 7 and 8.
Environmental safety precautions:
脴Contain and control the leaks or spills with non-combustible absorbent materials such as sand, earth,
vermiculite, diatom earth in drums for waste disposal.
脴Prevent any material from entering drains or waterways.
脴Use drums to dispose of waste recovered in accordance with applicable regulations (see heading 13).
脴If the product contaminates waterways, rivers or drains, alert the relevant authorities in accordance
with statutory procedures
Cleaning methods:
脴Clean preferably with a detergent, do not use solvents.
脴Contaminated areas must be cleaned very quickly.
脴A possible decontaminant for flammable products may be: (expressed by volume) water (45 parts),
ethanol or isopropanol (50 parts), concentrated ammonia (d-0.880) (5 parts). For non-flammable
products: sodium carbonate (5 parts), water (95 parts).
脴These residues must be stored for disposal in accordance with applicable regulations (see 13).
7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
脴The regulations relating to storage premises apply to workshops where the product is handled.
脴Anyone with a history of skin sensitisation must on no account handle such products
Handling:
脴Handle in well-ventilated areas.
脴The fumes are denser than air. They can spread along the ground and form explosive mixtures with air
脴Prevent the formation of flammable or explosive concentrations in air and avoid vapour concentrations
higher than the occupational exposure limits.
Fire prevention:
脴Prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charges with connections to earth
脴The preparation may become electrostatically charged; always place on the ground during transfer.
Wear antistatic shoes and clothes and make floors of conductive materials.
脴Use the product in premises where there are no naked flames or other sources of ignition and have
protected electrical equipment
脴Keep packages tightly closed and away from sources of heat, sparks and naked flames.
脴Do not use tools which may produce sparks. Do not smoke.
脴Prevent access by unauthorised personnel.
Recommended equipment and procedures
脴For personal safety, see 搂8.
脴Observe precautions stated on label and also industrial safety regulations
脴Avoid inhaling solvent fumes and spray-gun aerosols
脴Packages which have been opened must be reclosed carefully and stored in an upright position
脴Avoid inhaling fumes.
脴Where the personnel must carry out work in a booth, whether for spraying or otherwise, the ventilation
may be inadequate to control particles and solvent fumes in every case.
脴It is therefore recommended that personnel wear masks with a compressed air supply during spraying
operations until the concentration of particles and solvent fumes has fallen below the exposure limits.
脴Avoid contact of product with the skin and eyes
Prohibited equipment and procedures.
脴Smoking, eating and drinking are prohibited in premises where the preparation is used
Safety data sheet Polystria hardener Page 3/5
Version 17/07/02
脴Never open the packages under pressure
Storage.
脴Keep the container tightly closed in a dry place.
脴Keep away from all sources of ignition - do not smoke.
脴Keep well away from all sources of ignition, heat and direct sunlight
脴The floor must be impermeable and form a collecting basin so that, in the event of an accidental
spillage, the liquid cannot spread beyond this area.
8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL - PERSONAL SAFETY
脴Anyone with a history of skin sensitisation, asthma, allergies, chronic or periodic respiratory problems
must on no account use these preparations
Technical measures.
脴Ensure adequate ventilation, if possible with extractor fans at work posts and appropriate general
extraction.
脴If this ventilation is insufficient to maintain the concentration of solvent fumes below the exposure
limits, wear breathing apparatus

10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
脴When exposed to high temperatures, the preparation may release dangerous decomposition products
such as carbon monoxide and dioxide, smoke and nitrogen oxide It may also release hydrogen cyanide,
amines and alcohols.
脴Keep away from oxidising agents and strongly acidic or basic materials to avoid exothermic reactions
脴Exothermic reactions occur with amines and alcohols. The preparations react slowly with water and
give off carbonic gas which may produce pressure increases in closed packages
11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
脴No data is available regarding the preparation itself.
脴Exposure to fumes from solvents contained in the preparation beyond the exposure limits stated may
produce effects harmful to health, such as:
脴Irritation of mucous membrane and respiratory system, kidneys, liver and central nervous system.
脴Symptoms produced will include headaches, numbness, dizziness, fatigue, muscular asthenia and, in
extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
脴Prolonged or repeated contact with the preparation may strip the skin of its natural oil and thus cause
non-allergic dermatitis on contact and absorption through the epidermis.
脴Splashes in the eyes may cause irritation and reversible damage
脴It is generally agreed that substances contained are likely to cause, when applied to the eye of an
animal, the appearance of major lesions which persist for at least twenty-four hours
脴It is generally agreed that substances contained are likely to cause, among certain predisposed
subjects, a sensitisation reaction by cutaneous route
脴Based on the properties of isocyanates and taking into account toxicological data for similar
preparations, this preparation may cause irritation and/or sensitisation of the respiratory system.
脴It may also lead to asthma, respiratory problems and angina
脴Those susceptible may display asthmatic symptoms when exposed to atmospheres with an isocyanate
concentration well below those of the VLE: exposure limits.
脴Repeated exposure may cause permanent respiratory problems.
