Flush eyes with water
Accidental Release Measures:
Personal Precautions:
Not Applicable
Environmental Precautions:
Not Applicable
Waste Disposal:
Dispose according to local and state regulations for inert solid
material
Handling and Storage:
Store away from all ignition sources. It is advisable to protect all storage areas with an automatic sprinkler
system. Be aware that fire retardant and combustion modified types of P.U. Foam have been formulated to
resist small initial ignition sources, but this does not mean they are inflammable in all conditions. P.U. Foam
should always be treated as a flammable material. PU foam at normal temperature presents no risk to
human health. Special protective equipment and clothing is not necessary when handling foam, since it does
not irritate the skin, eyes or respiratory system except in those processes where dust is produced.
Special Protection Information:
Respiratory Protection:
None required, except where dust is produced.
Protective Gloves:
None required
Eye Protection:
None required, except where dust is produced.
Other Protective Equipment:
None required
Ventilation Requirements
Normal Operations:
None required
Special Operations:
In operations such as hot-wire cutting and flame lamination, decomposition fumes will be
generated. In operations such as buffing, dust will be generated. Proper local exhaust
must be provided.
