Emergency Overview

Color: White Physical State: Liquid

Odor: Characteristic Hazards of product:

CAUTION! May cause eye irritation. Isolate area.



### OSHA Hazard Communication Standard This product is not a "Hazardous Chemical" as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200.



### Potential Health Effects Eye Contact: May cause slight temporary eye irritation. May cause slight temporary corneal injury.

Skin Contact: Prolonged exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.

Inhalation: At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility; single exposure is not likely to be hazardous. Vapor from heated material or mist may cause respiratory irritation. 

# Material Safety Data Sheet

The Dow Chemical CompanyProduct Name: SPECFLEX* NF 748 Polyol DA Issue Date: 12/04/2008

Page 2 of 7 Ingestion: Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury.



### Component CAS # Amount

Polyether Polyol Blend Trade secret > 90.0 %

Water 7732-18-5 3.0 - 7.0 %



## 4. First-aid measures

Eye Contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.

Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of water.

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician. Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not in duce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Notes to Physician: No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.



## 5. Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foam s (including AFFF) or protein foams may function,

but will be less effective. Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Move container from fire area if th is is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not cont ained, may cause environmental damage. Review the "Accidental Release Measures" and the "Ecologica l Information" sections of this (M)SDS. Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothi ng with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to

the relevant sections. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.

Hazardous Combustion Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.

## 6. Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Contain spilled material if possible. Absorb

with materials such as: Dirt. Sand. Sawdust. Co llect in suitable and prop erly labeled containers. Wash the spill site with water. See Section 13, Disp osal Considerations, for additional information.

Personal Precautions: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard. Refer to Section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary measures. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.

Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.



## 7. Handling and Storage

Handling General Handling: Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed. This material is hygroscopic in nature. Se e Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL

PROTECTION.

Other Precautions: Spills of these organic materials on hot fi brous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition temperatures possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion.



### Storage Protect from atmospheric moisture. Store in a dry pl ace. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and air. Store in the following material(s): Carbon steel. Stainless steel. Polypropylene. Polyethylene-lined

container. Teflon. Glass-lined container. Aluminum . Plasite 3066 lined container. Plasite 3070 lined

container. 316 stainless steel. See Sect ion 10 for more specific information. Storage Period: Storage temperature:

6 Months 15 - 35 °C



## 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Limits

None established



### Personal Protection Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses.

Skin Protection: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed. Hand protection: Chemical protective gloves should not be needed when handling this material. Consistent with general hygienic practice for any material, skin contact should be

minimized. Respiratory Protection: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if material is heated or sprayed, use an approved air-purifying respirator. The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter. Ingestion: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands before smoking or eating.



### Engineering Controls

Ventilation: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines.Product Name: SPECFLEX* NF 748 Polyol DA Issue Date: 12/04/2008
