PRO-POXY AWP "A"
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical extinguishers such as monoammonium phosphate, potassium sulfate, potassium
chloride. Additionally, carbon dioxide, high expansion (protenic) chemical foam. Water spray for large fires.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Do not direct solid water stream or foam into hot, burning pools; this may
cause frothing and increase fire intensity. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and body covering protective clothing; burning
can produce oxides of carbon and nitrogen.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Contact with certain finely divided reactive materials may cause reactions.
Decomposition products may be hazardous.
SECTION V 鈥? HEALTH HAZARD DATA
INHALATION: This product is a respiratory irritant and potential respiratory sensitizer. Repeated inhalation of vapor or
aerosol at levels above the occupational exposure limit could cause respiratory sensitization. Symptoms may include irritation to
the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Possibly combined with dryness of the throat, tightness of chest and difficulty breathing. The
onset of the respiratory symptoms may be delayed for several hours after exposure. A hyper-reactive response to even minimal
concentrations of MDI may develop in sensitized persons.
SKIN CONTACT: Moderate irritant repeated and/or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Animal studies have
shown that respiratory sensitization can be induced by skin contact with known respiratory sensitizer including diisocyanate.
These results emphasize the need for protective clothing including gloves to be worn at all times when handling these chemicals
or in maintenance work.
EYE CONTACT: The aerosol, vapor or liquid will irritate human eyes following contact.
INGESTION: Ingestion may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. Based on the oral LD50, this product is considered
practically non-toxic by ingestion.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: A study where groups of rats were exposed for 6 hours/day, 5 days/week for a lifetime to atmosphere of
respirable polymeric MDI aerosol. Overall, the tumor incidence, both benign and malignant, and the number of animals with
tumors were not different from controls. Only at the top level (MG/CU.M), there was a significant incidence of a benign tumor
of the lung (Adenoma) and one malignant tumor (Adenocarcinoma). There were no lung tumors at 1MG/CU.M and no effects at
0.2 MG/CU.M. The increased incidence of lung tumors is associated with prolonged respiratory irritation and the concurrent
accumulation of yellow material in the lung, which occurred throughout the study. In lung damage, it is highly unlikely that
tumor formation will occur. There are reports that chronic exposure may result in permanent decrease in lung function.
CARCINOGENICITY: The ingredients of this product are not classified as carcinogenic by ACGIH or IARC, not regulated as
carcinogens by OSHA, and not listed as carcinogens by NTP.
MUTAGENICITY: There is no substantial evidence of mutagenic potential.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: No adverse reproductive effects are anticipated.
TERATOGENICITY AND FETOTOXICITY: No birth defects were seen in two independent animal (rat) studies.
Fetotoxicity was observed at doses that were extremely toxic (including lethal) to the mother. Fetotoxicity was not observed at
doses that were not maternally toxic. The doses used in these studies were maximal, respirable concentrations well in excess of
the defined occupations limits.
SECTION VI 鈥? EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: Flush with clean, lukewarm water at low pressure for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting eyelids.
Consult a physician immediately.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with warm soapy water. Contaminated
clothing should be properly laundered before reusing.

PRO-POXY AWP "A"
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
INHALATION: Remove victim from areas of exposure to safe area. If not breathing, give mouth to mouth resuscitation. If
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Consult a physician immediately.
INGESTION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure incidental to proper industrial handling.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote, supportive care, treatment based on judgment of physician in response to
reactions of the patient. The manifestations of respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema resulting from acute exposure,
may cause respiratory sensitization.
SECTION VII 鈥? EMPLOYEE PROTECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
VENTILATION: Natural or mechanical. Local exhaust will keep the TLV below minimum in most cases. Spills or other
emergencies may require more forceful ventilation means.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: This product has demonstrated no observable effects at room temperature. However, it is
highly recommended that an air purifying respirator with organic filter cartridges be worn. In addition, in any spray application,
a supplied air source must be provided.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Gloves determined to be impervious under the conditions of use should be worn always when
working with this products. Depending on conditions of use, additional protection may be required such as apron, arm covers, or
full body suit. Wash contaminated clothing before re-wearing. Protective clothing should be selected and used in accordance
with 鈥淕uidelines for the Selections of Chemical Protective Clothing鈥? published by ACGIH.
EYE PROTECTION: Liquid chemical goggles or full-face shield. No contact lenses should be worn.
SKIN PROTECTION: Chemical resistant gloves such as natural rubber or polyvinyl alcohol. Cover as much exposed skin as
possible with appropriate clothing. If skin creams are used, keep the area covered by the cream to a minimum.
OTHER: Unhindered access to safety shower and eye wash stations. As a general hygienic practice, wash hands and face after
use. Showers and cleaning of clothes are recommended. Follow all label instructions. Educate and train employees in safe use.
SECTION VIII - REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable under recommended storage conditions.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: May occur with incomplete reactants. Especially strong bases, water or temperatures
over 374掳F. Temperatures over 120掳 F accelerate the reaction with water.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Water, acid, bases, metal compounds and surface active materials.
Avoid water as it reacts to form heat, CO2 and insoluble urea. Some reactions are violent in the presence of the above mentioned
materials.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY-PRODUCTS: Aliphatic fragments, CO, NH3, CO2.
SECTION IX 鈥? SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Contain the spilled material and then cover
with a loose, absorbent material such as oil dry, vermiculite, sawdust, or Fuller鈥檚 earth. Shovel waste material into proper waste
containers and wash contaminated area with hot soapy water, thoroughly. Ventilate are to remove vapors. Transport container to
well ventilated area and treat with a neutralizing solution consisting of a mixture of water and 3-8% concentrated ammonium
hydroxide or 5-10% sodium carbonate. Add approximately 10 parts of neutralizer per part of isocyanate with mixing. Allow to
stand for 48 hours letting CO2 to escape.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Waste material may be incinerated or disposed in compliance with all relevant local, state,
and federal laws and regulations controlling environmental protection. This material is not a hazardous waste under RCRA 40
CFR 261.
