### 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: Flu sh 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 vomiti ng. Rinse mouth. Immediately give

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

Notes to physician

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

have not been shown tobe previously sensitized.



### 5. FIRE

- FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash point

- 2 °C ( 27.14 °F ) closed cup

Ignition temperature 426.0 °C ( 798.80 °F ) Ethyl acetate

Lower explosion limit 2.00 %(V)

Upper explosion limit 11.50 %(V)

Thermal decomposition Heating or fire conditions liberates toxic gas.

Combustion Products: Hydrogen cyanide

Carbon monoxide

Carbon dioxide

Nitrogen dioxide

Suitable extinguishing

media: foam

carbon dioxide (CO2)

dry powder

Specific hazards during fire fighting: Vapors can travel to a source of ignition 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 fi re, 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 extinguish ing 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.ADCOTE 518

### 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEAS E MEASURES

Personal precautions

Use personal protective eq uipment.

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 and

wash exposed skin areas with soap and water. See SECTI ON 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 and collect spillage with non

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

earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see

section 13).



### 7. HANDLING AND STOR AGE

Handling

Provi de 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 respiratory

equipment. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Wear per sonal 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 ignition of organic vapours). Ensure all equipment is

electri cally grounded before beginning transfer operations. May cause sensitization of susceptible

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

containers retain product residue follow all MSDS a nd 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

- ventilated place. Keep away fro m heat and

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

standards.

Page 5 of 8 Revision date 05/17/2005 Eye 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.

Hand protection: Chemical

- resistant gloves should be worn whenever this material is hand led. 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)

Butyl rubber Gloves should be removed and re placed 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.

Skin and body protection: complete suit protecting against chemi cals safety shoes

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 requi red 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, O R full

- facepiece, airline respirator in

the pressure demand mode with emergency escape provision.

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.



### 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 systems.
