SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION 

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 

 PHYSICAL STATE: Liquid 

 COLOR: Colorless 

 ODOR: Ester-like 

Extremely flammable. 

Can cause eye irritation. 

Causes skin irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. 

Moderate respiratory tract irritant. May cause an allergic respiratory reaction. 

Harmful if swallowed. 

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS BY ROUTE OF ENTRY

EYE: Can cause irritation. 

SKIN: Can cause moderate skin irritation, defatting, and dermatitis. Not likely to cause permanent damage. May 

cause sensitization. 

INHALATION: Can cause moderate respiratory irritation. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. 

Other possible symptoms include; wheezing and coughing due to pulmonary edema (fluid build-up in lungs). 

At room temperature, MDI vapors are minimal due to low vapor pressure. If product is heated or if an aerosol/mist 

is generated, airborne concentrations may be reached that cause irritation or other adverse effects. 

Inhalation of high concentrations may result in central nervous system (CNS) effects such as dizziness, weakness, 

fatigue, nausea, headache, and lack of coordination. 

INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion is not an anticipated route of exposure. Irritating to mouth, throat, 

and stomach. 

LONG-TERM (CHRONIC) HEALTH EFFECTS 

CHRONIC: May cause tumors based on tests with laboratory animals. 

TARGET ORGAN(S): Lungs Skin 

 

REGULATED CARCINOGEN STATUS: 

Unless noted below, this product does not contain regulated levels of NTP, IARC, ACGIH, or OSHA listed

carcinogens. 

EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS AFFECTED BY EXPOSURE: Persons with existing asthmatic conditions 

may experience difficulty breathing. Persons who have been sensitized to isocyanates may experience symptoms at 

very low exposure levels.; Skin disease including eczema and sensitization; Lung disease

SECTION 3: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS 

Chemical Name CAS # PERCENT 

Isocyanate prepolymer 50 - 70 

Ethyl acetate 141-78-6 10 - 30 

Methylene bisphenyl diisocyanate 

(MDI) 

101-68-8 1 - 5 

Unlisted ingredients are not 'hazardous' per the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard 

Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and/or are not found on the Canadian Workplace Hazardous 

Materials Information System ingredient disclosure list. See Section 8 for exposure limit guidelines.

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES 

IF IN EYES: Use an eye wash to remove a chemical from your eye regardless of the level of hazard. Flush the 

affected eye for at least twenty minutes. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated 

eye. Seek medical advice after flushing. 

IF ON SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder. Get medical attention if 

irritation develops or persists. 

IF VAPORS INHALED: Remove to fresh air. Restore breathing, if necessary. Call a physician if symptoms 

persist. 

IF SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. Drink two glasses of water or 

milk to dilute. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Induced vomiting may lead to aspiration of 

the material into the lungs potentially causing chemical pneumonitis that may be fatal.

SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

 FLASH POINT: -4C; 25F 

AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not established

LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established 

UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (% in air): Not established 

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. 

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors are heavier than air and can travel to a source of ignition

and flash back. 

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Persons exposed to products of combustion should wear selfcontained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. 

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide Hydrogen cyanide Nitrogen 

containing gases 

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 

SPECIAL PROTECTION: Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow 

personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this 

MSDS. Additional precautions may be necessary based on special 

circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity 

of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Evaporation of volatile 

substances can lead to the displacement of air creating an environment that 

can cause asphyxiation.

CLEAN-UP: Cover with absorbent material. Place in open topped container. Remove to 

well-ventilated area and treat with aqueous ammonia. 

Dike if necessary, contain spill with inert absorbent and transfer to containers 

for disposal. Keep spilled product out of sewers, watersheds, or water 

systems. 

Shut off ignition sources; including electrical equipment and flames. Do not

allow smoking in the area. 

Transport Emergency Phone Number (CHEMTREC): 1-800-424-9300 

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE 

Handling: Harmful or irritating material. Avoid contacting and avoid breathing the material. Use only in 

a well ventilated area. Moisture contamination in closed containers may produce carbon 

dioxide gas pressure. 

Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. 

Wash thoroughly after handling. 

Keep container closed. 

Emptied container retains vapor and product residue. 

Observe all labeled precautions until container is cleaned. 

Drums of this material should be grounded when pouring. 

DO NOT CUT OR WELD ON OR NEAR THIS CONTAINER. 

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, ventilated location. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other 

sources of ignition. Keep container closed. 

Consult the Technical Data Sheet for specific storage instructions. 

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 

EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses when handling this product. 

SKIN PROTECTION: Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves and long 

sleeved shirt. An apron may be appropriate if splashing can occur. 

GLOVES: Nitrile 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection may be required to avoid overexposure when 

handling this product. Use a respirator if general room ventilation is 

not available or sufficient to eliminate symptoms. NIOSH approved 

air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge. 

Respirators should be selected by and used following requirements 

found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134). 

VENTILATION: Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to 

minimize exposures.
