### 4. FIRST AID MEASURE S

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Get prompt medical

attention. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen.

Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Wash

contaminated clothing before re

- use. Do not take clothing home to be laundered. Consult a

physician.

Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get prompt medical

attention

. Ingestion: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. IMMEDIATELY see a physician. If vomiting occurs

spontaneously, keep airway clear. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Notes to physician

Bronchial constriction may develop after extensive exposure to isocyanates, even in individuals who

have not been shown tobe previously sensitized. MATERIAL IS SEVERELY IRRITATING. It may not

be advisable to induce vomiting. Possible mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric

lavage.

Suitable extinguishi ng

media: Use the following extinguishing media when fighting fires involving this

material:

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dry powder

Water in very large quantities.

Specific hazards during fire fighting: Closed containers may rupture via pressure build

- up when

exposed to fire or extreme heat. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases and/or fumes may be

generated during combustion or decomposition. DO NOT permit water to enter containers. Closed

containers may explode when heated or contents conta minated with water.

Special protective equipment for fire

### 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEAS E MEASURES

Personal precautions

Appropriate protective equipment must be worn when handling a spill of this material. See SECTION

8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, for recomme ndations.

MATERIAL IS A POTENTIAL SENSITIZER.

If exposed to material during clean

- up operations, IMMEDIATELY remove all contaminated clothing

and wash exposed skin areas with soap and water. See SECTION 4, First Aid Measures, for further

information.

Wash contaminated clothing before re

- use.

Do not take clothing home to be laundered.



### Environmental precautions

WARNING: KEEP SPILLS AND CLEANING RUNOFFS OUT OF MUNICIPAL SEWERS AND OPEN

BODIES OF WATER.



### Methods for cleaning up

Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Ventilate the area.

Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling.

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in sui table container for disposal.

Avoid all contact.

Avoid breathing vapor.

NOTE: Spills on porous surfaces can contaminate groundwater.



### 7. HANDLING AND STOR AGE

Handling

Vapors can be evolved when material is heated during processing operations. See SECTION 8,

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, for types of ventilation required.



### Storage

Storage conditions: Avoid temperature extremes during storage; ambient temperature preferred.

Store away from excessive heat (e.g. steampipes, radiators), from sources of ignition and from

reactive materials. Material can burn; limit indoor storage to approved areas equipped with automatic

sprinklers. Store out of direct sunlight in a cool place. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well

ventilated place. Keep material dry. Moisture may affect product quality.

Further information:

This material is a potential sensitizer.

See SECTION 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, prior to handli ng.

Wash after handling and shower at end of work period.

CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Since emptied containers retain product

residue follow all MSDS and label warnings even after container is emptied.

Improper disposal or re

- use of this conta iner may be dangerous and illegal. Refer to applicable local,

state and federal regulations.

Persons susceptible to skin sensitisation problems or asthma, allergies, chronic or recurrent

respiratory disease should not be employed in any process in which t his preparation is being used.MOR

Exposure limit(s)

Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist.

Component Regulation Type of listing Value

Methyl pyrrolidone Rohm and Haas TWA 10 ppm

Rohm and Haas STEL 25 ppm

Rohm and Haas Absorbed via skin

Eye protection: Use chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent). Eye protection

worn must be compatible with respiratory protection system employed.

Hand protection: Chemical

- resistant gloves should be worn whenever this material is handled. The

glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. (Gloves of other chemically resistant

materials may not provide adequate protection): butyl

- rubber Gloves sh ould be removed and

replaced immediately if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough. Rinse and

remove gloves immediately after use. Wash hands with soap and water.

Skin and body protection: Use chemically resistant apron or other impervious clothing to avoid

prolonged or repeated skin contact. Where splashing is possible, full chemically resistant protective

clothing (e.g. acid suit) and boots are required.

Respiratory protection: A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 19 10.134 and ANSI Z88.2

requirements or equivalent must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator ‟ s

use. None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below the exposure limit listed in

Exposure Limit Information. Above the e xposure limit: Wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved (or

equivalent) self

- contained breathing apparatus in the pressure demand mode, OR full

- facepiece,

airline respirator in the pressure demand mode with emergency escape provision.

Protective measures: F acilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash

facility and a safety shower.



### Engineering measures: Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 100

ft/min. (0.5 m/sec.) at the point of vapor evolution. Refer to the current edition of Industrial Ventilation:

A Manual of Recommended Practice published by the American Conference of Gove rnmental

Industrial Hygienists for information on the design, installation, use, and maintenance of exhaust

systems.
