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

Ingestion: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Consult a physician. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep 

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

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash point no data available

Lower explosion limit not applicable

Upper explosion limit not applicable

Suitable extinguishing 

media:

Use the following extinguishing media when fighting fires involving this 

material:

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dry powder

Foam

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 contaminated with water.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing 

apparatus.

Further information: Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.

DO NOT permit water to enter containers.

Remain upwind.

Avoid breathing smoke.

Contain run-off.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions

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

8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, for recommendations.

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).
ROBONDTM CR-2

Page 4 of 8 Revision date 02/15/2008

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

Avoid all contact.

Avoid breathing vapor.

NOTE: Spills on porous surfaces can contaminate groundwater.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

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, wellventilated place. Keep material dry. Moisture may affect product quality.

Storage temperature: 10 - 37.8 °C (50 - 100.0 °F)

Further information:

This material is a potential sensitizer.

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

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 container 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 this preparation is being used.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure limit(s)

Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist.

Component Regulation Type of listing Value

Hexamethylene diisocyanate Rohm and Haas TWA 0.005 ppm

Rohm and Haas STEL 0.02 ppm

ACGIH TWA 0.005 ppm

NIOSH/GUIDE REL 0.035 mg/m3 0.005 

ppm

NIOSH/GUIDE Ceil_Time 0.140 mg/m3 0.020 

ppm

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 should 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 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 Limit 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 provision.

Protective measures: Facilities 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 Governmental 

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

systems.
