Hazards Identification
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.
May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact.
Extremely flammable.
May cause slight temporary corneal injury. May stain skin. Material may stick to skin causing irritation
upon removal. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat)
and lungs. May cause pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs.) Asthma-like symptoms may include
coughing, difficult breathing and a feeling of tightness in the chest. Occasionally, breathing difficulties
may be life threatening.
4.
First-aid measures
Eye Contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the
initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a
physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.
Skin Contact: Remove material from skin immediately by washing with soap and plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes while washing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Wash clothing before reuse. An MDI skin decontamination study demonstrated that cleaning very
soon after exposure is important, and that a polyglycol-based skin cleanser or corn oil may be more
effective than soap and water. Discard items which cannot be decontaminated, including leather
articles such as shoes, belts and watchbands.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth
use rescuer protection (pocket mask, etc). If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician and/or transport to emergency facility immediately.
Notes to Physician: If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger
from lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. The
decision of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by a physician. May cause respiratory
sensitization or asthma-like symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants and antitussives may be of
help. Treat bronchospasm with inhaled beta2 agonist and oral or parenteral corticosteroids.
Respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema, may be delayed. Persons receiving significant
exposure should be observed 24-48 hours for signs of respiratory distress. Maintain adequate
ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. If you are sensitized to diisocyanates, consult your
physician regarding working with other respiratory irritants or sensitizers. No specific antidote.
Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the
patient.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Excessive exposure may aggravate preexisting
asthma and other respiratory disorders (e.g. emphysema, bronchitis, reactive airways dysfunction
syndrome).
5.
Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire
extinguishers. Foam. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC
type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function,
but will be less effective.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Stay
upwind. Keep out of low areas where gases (fumes) can accumulate. Water is not recommended, but
may be applied in large quantities as a fine spray when other extinguishing agents are not available.
Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or
monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from
venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May spread

Revision Date: 2006/10/07
fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Use water spray to cool fireexposed containers and fire-affected zone until fire is out.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers,
boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely,
change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is
not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire
from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to
the relevant sections.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product reacts with water. Reaction may produce heat and/or
gases. This reaction may be violent. Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.
Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.
Dense smoke is produced when product burns.
Hazardous Combustion Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition
to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion
products may include and are not limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Isocyanates. Hydrogen cyanide.
Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.
6.
Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Spills should be contained by, and covered
with large quantities of sand, earth or any other readily available absorbent material which is then
brushed in vigorously to assist absorption. The mixture can then be collected into drums and removed
for disposal. Wash area from residues with soap and water and rinse down.
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section
8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection. Only trained and properly protected personnel must be
involved in clean-up operations. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the
area. If available, use foam to suppress vapors. See Section 10 for more specific information.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information. Should the product enter sewers or drains, it
should be pumped into a covered, vented container; the cover should be placed loosely on the
container but not made pressure tight. Emergency services may need to be called to assist in the
cleanup operation.
7.

A "SEN" notation following the exposure guideline refers to the potential to produce sensitization, as
confirmed by human or animal data.
Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or
equivalent. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area.
Skin Protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific
items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task. Remove
contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder clothing before
reuse or dispose of properly. Items which cannot be decontaminated, such as shoes, belts and
watchbands, should be removed and disposed of properly.
Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374: Protective
gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials
include: Butyl rubber. Chlorinated polyethylene. Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate
("EVAL"). Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex").
Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Viton. Avoid gloves made of:
Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may
occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240
minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove
with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to
EN 374) is recommended. NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular
application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant
workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical
requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions
to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Respiratory Protection: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline.
When atmospheric levels may exceed the exposure guideline, use an approved air-purifying respirator
equipped with an organic vapor sorbent and a particle filter. For situations where the atmospheric
levels may exceed the level for which an air-purifying respirator is effective, use a positive-pressure
air-supplying respirator (air line or self-contained breathing apparatus). For emergency response or
for situations where the atmospheric level is unknown, use an approved positive-pressure selfcontained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air supply.
Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate prefilter, type AP2.
Ingestion: Avoid ingestion of even very small amounts; do not consume or store food or tobacco in
the work area; wash hands and face before smoking or eating.

Engineering Controls
Ventilation: Use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some
operations. Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the
exposure guidelines. Exhaust systems should be designed to move the air away from the source of
vapor/aerosol generation and people working at this point. The odor and irritancy of this material are
inadequate to warn of excessive exposure.

Stability and Reactivity
Stability/Instability
Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid temperatures above 40°C (104°F) Can react with itself at temperatures
above 130°C (266°F) Exposure to elevated temperatures can cause product to decompose.
Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems. Pressure build-up
can be rapid. Avoid moisture. Material reacts slowly with water, releasing carbon dioxide which can
cause pressure buildup and rupture of closed containers. Elevated temperatures accelerate this
reaction.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with: Acids. Alcohols. Amines. Water. Ammonia. Bases.
Metal compounds. Moist air. Strong oxidizers. Products based on diisocyanates like TDI and MDI
react with many materials to release heat. The reaction rate increases with temperature as well as
with increased contact; these reactions can become violent. Contact is increased by stirring or if the
other material acts as a solvent. Products based on diisocyanates such as TDI and MDI are not
soluble in water and will sink to the bottom, but react slowly at the interface. The reaction forms
carbon dioxide gas and a layer of solid polyurea. Reaction with water will generate carbon dioxide and
heat. Avoid contact with metals such as: Aluminum. Zinc. Brass. Tin. Copper. Avoid contact with
absorbent materials such as: Moist organic absorbents. Avoid unintended contact with polyols. The
reaction of polyols and isocyanates generate heat.
Hazardous Polymerization
Can occur. Can react with itself at temperatures above 130°C (266°F) Polymerization can be
catalyzed by: Strong bases. Water.
Thermal Decomposition
Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials.
Gases are released during decomposition.

Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity
Ingestion
Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling
operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury.
Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting, causing lung damage or even death
due to chemical pneumonia. Observations in animals include: Gastrointestinal irritation.
Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined.
Eye Contact
May cause eye irritation. May cause slight temporary corneal injury.
Skin Contact
Prolonged contact may cause moderate skin irritation with local redness. Material may stick to skin
causing irritation upon removal. May stain skin.
Skin Absorption
Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.
The LD50 has not been determined.
Inhalation
In confined or poorly ventilated areas, vapor can easily accumulate and can cause unconsciousness
and death due to displacement of oxygen. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper
respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. May cause pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs.)
Effects may be delayed. May cause central nervous system depression. Symptoms of excessive
exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects; dizziness and drowsiness may be observed.
Excessive exposure may increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability
(irregular heartbeats). Decreased lung function has been associated with overexposure to
isocyanates.
Sensitization
Skin
Skin contact may cause an allergic skin reaction. Animal studies have shown that skin contact with
isocyanates may play a role in respiratory sensitization.
Respiratory
May cause allergic respiratory response. MDI concentrations below the exposure guidelines may
cause allergic respiratory reactions in individuals already sensitized. Asthma-like symptoms may
include coughing, difficult breathing and a feeling of tightness in the chest. Occasionally, breathing
difficulties may be life threatening.
Repeated Dose Toxicity
Tissue injury in the upper respiratory tract and lungs has been observed in laboratory animals after
repeated excessive exposures to MDI/polymeric MDI aerosols. For the minor component(s): In
animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Kidney.
Chronic Toxicity and Carcinogenicity
Lung tumors have been observed in laboratory animals exposed to aerosol droplets of MDI/Polymeric
MDI (6 mg/m3) for their lifetime. Tumors occurred concurrently with respiratory irritation and lung
injury. Current exposure guidelines are expected to protect against these effects reported for MDI.
Developmental Toxicity
In laboratory animals, MDI/polymeric MDI did not cause birth defects; other fetal effects occurred only
at high doses which were toxic to the mother.
Genetic Toxicology
For the minor component(s): In vitro genetic toxicity studies were negative. Genetic toxicity data on
MDI are inconclusive. MDI was weakly positive in some in vitro studies; other in vitro studies were
negative. Animal mutagenicity studies were predominantly negative.

First-aid measures
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5
minutes, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention without delay,
preferably from an ophthalmologist.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of water.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth
use rescuer protection (pocket mask, etc). If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician and/or transport to emergency facility immediately.
Notes to Physician: The decision of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by a
physician. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Danger from lung
aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the stomach. Maintain
adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. Exposure may increase "myocardial irritability".
Do not administer sympathomimetic drugs such as epinephrine unless absolutely necessary.
Consider hemodialysis for patients with persistent hypotension or coma unresponsive to standard
therapy (isopropanol levels >400 - 500 mg/dl). (Goldfrank 1998, King et al, 1970). No specific
antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical
condition of the patient.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Skin contact may aggravate preexisting dermatitis.
5.
Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water fog, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Down-wind personnel must be evacuated. Fire debris must be disposed
of in accordance with local regulations. Do not discharge extinguishing waters into streams, rivers and
lakes.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers,
boots, and gloves).
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in
addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Will
support combustion. Violent eruption of containers may occur under fire conditions.
Hazardous Combustion Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition
to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion
products may include and are not limited to: Carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide.
6.
Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Spills should be contained by, and covered
with large quantities of sand, earth or any other readily available absorbent material which is then
brushed in vigorously to assist absorption. The mixture can then be collected into drums and removed
for disposal. Wash area from residues with soap and water and rinse down.
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section
8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection. Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard.
Environmental Precautions: Dike to prevent contamination of ground and surface water, then
transfer into closed containers. Recover if possible, or dispose of according to applicable regulations.

A "skin" notation following the exposure guideline refers to the potential for dermal absorption of the
material including mucous membranes and the eyes either by contact with vapors or by direct skin
contact.
It is intended to alert the reader that inhalation may not be the only route of exposure and that
measures to minimize dermal exposures should be considered.
Personal Protection
Eye/Face Protection: Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or
equivalent. If exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator.
Skin Protection: Wear clean, body-covering clothing.
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or
frequently repeated contact could occur. Use chemical resistant gloves classified under
Standard EN374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of
preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene.
Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Examples of acceptable glove barrier
materials include: Chlorinated polyethylene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR").
Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). When prolonged or frequently

Revision Date: 2007/08/30
repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time
greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. NOTICE: The selection of a
specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take
into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which
may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection),
potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided
by the glove supplier.
Respiratory Protection: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline.
When respiratory protection is required, use an approved air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air
respirator depending on the potential airborne concentration. For emergency and other conditions
where the exposure guideline may be exceeded, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus or positive-pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air supply. In confined or
poorly ventilated areas, use an approved self-contained breathing apparatus or positive pressure air
line with auxiliary self-contained air supply. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator:
Organic vapor cartridge, type A (boiling point >65 ºC)
Ingestion: Avoid ingestion of even very small amounts; do not consume or store food or tobacco in
the work area; wash hands and face before smoking or eating.
Engineering Controls
Ventilation: Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit requirements or
guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use only with
adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations. Lethal
concentrations may exist in areas with poor ventilation.

Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity
Ingestion
Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling
operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury.
Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting, causing lung damage or even death
due to chemical pneumonia. May cause central nervous system depression. May cause nausea and
vomiting. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may include: Facial flushing. Low blood
pressure. Irregular heartbeats.
Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined.
Eye Contact
May cause moderate eye irritation which may be slow to heal. May cause moderate corneal injury.
May cause pain disproportionate to the level of irritation to eye tissues. Vapor may cause eye irritation
experienced as mild discomfort and redness. Vapor may cause lacrimation (tears).
Skin Contact
Essentially nonirritating to skin. May cause drying and flaking of the skin.
Skin Absorption
Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.
The dermal LD50 has not been determined.
Inhalation
Vapor concentrations are attainable which could be hazardous on single exposure. In confined or
poorly ventilated areas, vapor can readily accumulate and can cause unconsciousness and death.
May cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system depression. Symptoms may include
headache, dizziness and drowsiness, progressing to incoordination and unconsciousness. Excessive
exposure may increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability (irregular
heartbeats). Excessive exposure (400 ppm) to isopropanol may cause eye, nose and throat irritation.
Incoordination, confusion, hypotension, hypothermia, circulatory collapse, respiratory arrest and death
may follow a longer duration or higher levels. Observations in animals include middle ear lining
damage upon exposure to vapors of isopropanol. However, the relevance of this to humans is
unknown
Repeated Dose Toxicity
Symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects; dizziness and drowsiness
may be observed. Contains component(s) which have been reported to cause effects on the following
organs in animals: Blood. Kidney. Liver. Development of cataracts has been reported in laboratory
animals after prolonged repeated skin exposure to acetone. Based on information for component(s):
Isopropyl alcohol. Observations in animals include: Lethargy. Kidney effects and/or tumors have
been observed in male rats. These effects are believed to be species specific and unlikely to occur in
humans.
