EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white to cream crystalline powder.
Danger! Causes eye and skin burns. Harmful if
swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. May cause severe
respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. May cause severe
digestive tract irritation with possible burns. Moisture sensitive.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow
of tears).
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Toxic in contact with skin. Organic isocyanates
can cause local irritation and allergic reactions.
Ingestion:
Poison by ingestion. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Toxic if inhaled.
Chronic:
Repeated exposure may cause allergic respiratory reaction (asthma).
Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has been reported to cause lung
damage, including decreased lung fuction, which may be permanent.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed. Extensiv
e irrigation with water is required (at least 30 minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Wash mouth out with
water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
Flash Point: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Provide ventilation. Do not get water
inside containers.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not breathe dust, mist, or vapor. Do not get in
eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Use
with adequate ventilation. Discard contaminated shoes. Isocyanates
react with water to form CO2 gas. This gas can cause sealed
containers to expand and possibly rupture.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.
Store in a tightly closed container. Store protected from moisture.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.

Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use. Follow the OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or
European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or
European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if
exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or
other symptoms are experienced.
