### 4. FIRST AID MEASURE S

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Call a

physician immediately.

Skin contact: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off immediately with soap and

plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re

- use.

Eye contact: Flush eyes with water as a precaution. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If a person vomits when lying on

his back, place him in the recovery position. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. Immediately give

large quantities of water to drink. Call a physician immediately.

Notes to physician: Bronchial constriction may develop after extensive exposure to isocyanates, even

in individuals who have not been shown to be previously sensitized.

Page 4 of 9 Revision date 08/25/2011 Specific hazards during fire fighting: Vapors can travel to a source of ignit ion and flash back. Heated

material can form flammable or explosive vapors with air. Closed containers may rupture via pressure

build

- up when exposed to fire or extreme heat.

Special protective equipment for fire

- fighters: Wear self

- contained breathing apparatus and

protective suit.

Further information: For safety reasons in case of fire, containers should be stored separately in

closed containments.

Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.

EXPLOSION HAZARD. Fight advanced fires from a protected location.

Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local

regulations.



### 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEAS E MEASURES

Personal precautions

Use personal protective equipment.

Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.

MATERIAL IS A POTENTIAL SENSITIZER.

If exposed to material during clean

- up operations, IMMEDIATELY remove all contaminated clothing an d

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

information.

Environmental precautions

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Methods for cleaning up

Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Remove all sources of ignition.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Contain spillage, and then collect with non

- combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth,

diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national

regulati ons (see section 13).



### 7. HANDLING AND STOR AGE

Handling

Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Avoid exceeding of the given

occupational exposure limits (see section 8). In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respirator y

equipment. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Wear personal protective equipment. For personal

protection see section 8. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Take necessary action to avoid

static electricity discharge (which might cause i gnition of organic vapours). Ensure all equipment is

electrically grounded before beginning transfer operations. May cause sensitization of susceptible

persons by skin contact. CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Since emptied

containers retain pro duct residue follow all MSDS and label warnings even after container is emptied.



### Storage

Storage conditions: Material can burn; limit indoor storage to approved areas equipped with automatic

sprinklers. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well

- ven tilated place. Keep away from heat and

sources of ignition. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety

standards.

### Exposure controls

Engineering measures: Use explosion

- proof 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

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

exhaust sy stems.



### Hygiene measures: Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.



### Protective measures: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash

facility and a safety shower.



### Individual protection measu res

Eye/face protection: Use chemical splash goggles and face shield (ANSI Z87.1 or approved

equivalent). Eye protection worn must be compatible with respiratory protection system

employed.

Skin protection

Hand protection: Chemical

- resistant gloves sho uld 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): 4H Glove

(Trademark of Safety 4 A/S of Denmark) but yl

- rubber Gloves should be removed and

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

Before removing gloves clean them with soap and water. NOTE: Material is a possible

skin sensitizer.

Other protection: Avoid all skin contact. Selection of specific personal protective

equipment such as long sleeves, safety glasses with side shields, face shield, safety

shoes, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task.

Respiratory protection: A respiratory prote ction program meeting OSHA 1910.134 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 Li mit Information. Above the exposure 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 provi sion.
