SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
PRIMARY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE:
SIGNS & SYMPTONS OF EXPOSURE
ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS:
Skin Absorption, Inhalation
Eye contact may cause severe eye irritation, redness, tearing and blurred vision. Prolonged or
repeated skin contact may cause irritation, dermatitis and drying of the skin. Absorption through
intact skin may contribute to an individual's overall exposure. Inhalation may cause respiratory
system irritation and central nervous system depression (Narcosis) characterized by headache,
dizziness, muscular weakness and fatigue. Inhalation of Toluene vapors above 200 ppm may
result in impairment of coordination, increased reaction time and a bad taste in the mouth. May
cause unconsciousness if exposure is excessive. Toluene LC50: 8,000 ppm/4hr, rat;
Polyisocyanate LC50: <1,150 mg/m3, rat; Xylene LC50: 5,000 ppm/4hr, rat; Toluene LD50: 5 g/kg,
rat; HDI LD50: 10 g/kg, rat; Xylene LD50: 4.3 g/kg, rat.
Exposure to this product may aggravate pre-existing skin and respiratory diseases. Exposure to
Hexane should be avoided by individuals with neurological diseases. Individuals, who are
sensitized to Isocyanates and those with pre-existing lung diseases or conditions, including nonspecific bronchial hyperactivity or asthma, must avoid all exposure to Isocyanates.
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS:
May cause kidney, liver, spleen and central nervous system damage. Acute or chronic
overexposure to Isocyanates may cause sensitization in some individuals, resulting allergic
symptoms of the lower respiratory tract (asthma-like), including wheezing, shortness of breath and
difficulty breathing. May cause brain cell and neuromuscular damage based upon animal studies.
CARCINOGENICITY:
None

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS OR FIRST AID
PROVIDERS:
If this material contacts the eyes, hold eyelids open and flush immediately with a gentle
stream of water for at least 15 minutes, preferably at an eyewash fountain. Get medical
attention. In case
of skin contact, clean with rubbing alcohol first, followed immediately by washing affected area
with soap and water. In case of inhalation, remove to fresh uncontaminated air. Administer
oxygen if breathing is labored. Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Get medical
attention
immediately if oxygen or artificial respiration are administered. In case of accidental ingestion,
do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention and advise the physician of the nature of the
material

SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Foam, water spray, (fog), Carbon Dioxide, dry chemical, and vaporizing liquid type
extinguishing agents may all be suitable for extinguishing fires involving this
product. Water may be ineffective, but should be used to keep fire exposed
containers cool. If a leak or spill has ignited, use water to disperse the vapors and
to protect men attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills
away from exposures.
Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Aldehydes, acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Wear impermeable protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Toxic fumes and vapors may be evolved. Minimize the breathing of gases, vapors,
fumes or decomposition products. Use supplied-air breathing equipment for
enclosed or confined spaces or as otherwise needed.
This product is volatile and gives off invisible vapors. Either the liquid or vapor may
settle in low areas or travel some distance along the ground or surface to ignition
sources where they may ignite or explode.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
VENTILATION:
N/a
Use with ventilation sufficient to prevent exceeding recommended exposure limits or
build up of explosive concentrations of vapor in air.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
If personal exposure concentrations cannot be maintained below the appropriate
exposure limits using engineering controls, a NIOSH approved organic vapor air
purifying respirator may be appropriate based on employer-determined exposure
levels. Air supplied or SCBA respirators may be required when the measured
chemical concentration exceeds the capacity of the air purifying respirator or when
personal exposure levels are unknown.
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended when pouring or applying this
product
Wear polyvinyl alcohol, nitrile rubber, or neoprene glove when handling this product
to avoid prolonged skin contact
Not required.
