FLAMMABLE LIMITS:  Lel 0.9; Uel 6.0

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:  Carbon dioxide; dry chemical; foam

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:  If excessive fumes or smoke is encountered, wear

self-contained respiratory equipment and full protective clothing.

UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:  Sealed containers may build up pressure ir exposed to

heat (fire).  Water can be used to cool the exterior of the containers.

DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:  Oxides of carbon, nitrogen, aluminum, possible HCN, polyurethane

combustion compounds and halogens.

 

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA                                                                                                        

 

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:

 

SKIN:  Liquid may irritate skin.

EYES:  Contact may cause severe damage; vapor may irritate.

BREATHING:  Inhalation may cause headache, dizziness, nausea, and irritation of respiratory tract.

SWALLOWING:  May be harmful or fatal if swallowed.

 

FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

 

SKIN:  Clean thoroughly with waterless hand cleaner, then follow with soap and water.

EYES:  Flush with water for l5 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

BREATHING:  Move  victim to fresh air.  If  asthmatic conditions occur, call a physician.

SWALLOWING:  DO NOT induce vomiting.  Seek medical attention immediately.

 

SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA                                                                                                               

 

STABILITY:  Stable

INCOMPATABILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):  Water (moisture); alcohols; amines; strong acids and bases.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:  Possible HCN.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:  Will not occur.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID:  Contamination with water will evolve CO².

 

SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES                                                                                           

 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:  Cover with a layer of sand or

other suitable absorbent.  Use protective measures as outlined in Section VIII below.  Avoid contact

with eyes, skin or clothing.

 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:  Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

 

SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION                                                                              

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE):  In confined spaces use fresh air hood or NIOSH

certified organic vapor canister unit.  If used outdoors, ventilate well using a general or local exhaust ventilation.

EYE PROTECTION:  Wear chemical splash goggles or face shield.  Do not wear contact lenses while

working with this material.

SKIN PROTECTION:  Nitrile rubber gloves and apply a solvent-resistant barrier cream to areas of skin

that may come in contact with this material.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:  Eye wash station or fresh running water should be readily

available.  Wear coveralls and/or rubber apron and rubber shoes or boots.

PERSONAL HYGIENE:  Wash hands thoroughly after handling and especially before eating or smoking. 

Shower at the end of the work shift.  Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

 

SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS                                                                                                     

 

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING:

Avoid contact with moisture.  Isocyanates react with water and generate CO² which may rupture sealed

containers.  Store between 40 and 80°F.
