SECTION 4: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA FLASH POINT: 80°F/26°C SETA FLASH CLOSED CUP. FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME: LOWER: 1%, UPPER: 7% EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: FOAM, CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER FOG OR SPRAY, AS APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES:Do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without full protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) to protect against the hazardous effects of combustion products and oxygen deficiency. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along ground and be ignited by pilot lights, sparks, smoking, static discharge, heaters or other sources of ignition at locations distant from material handling point. Isocyanate vapors and other irritating, highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Closed containers may expolde when exposed to extreme heat or burst when contaminated with water due to the evolution of carbon dioxide gas. SECTION 5: REACTIVITY DATA STABILITY: STABLE CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid heat, sparks, open flame and other ignition sources, extreme heat conditions and water contact. Reaction with water can result in pressure buildup of the container resulting in rupture of the container. INCOMPATIBILITY: (Materials To Avoid) Avoid Water, alcohol, ammonia, amines, alkalies and acids. Some reactions can be violent. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS: Products of combustion include isocyanate vapor & mist, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, nitrogen oxides, and oxides and unidentified products in fumes and smoke. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: May occur. Contact with moisture or other materials which react with isocyantes may cause polymerization. SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARD DATA INHALATION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged exposure to vapors or mists can irritate eyes, nose and respiratory tract. May cause headaches, dizziness, aneshesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central nervous system effects, including death. Inhalation of vapors and mists of isocyanate at concentrations above recommended exposure limits can irritate the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs) causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath and reduced lung function. Persons with a preexisting, nonspecific bronchial hyperreactivity can respond to concentrations below the intended recommended exposure level with similar symptoms as well as an asthma attack. Exposure to higher levels may lead to bronchitis, bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs). These effects are usually reversible. Chemical or hypersensitive pneumonitis, with flu-like symptoms (e.g., fever, chills) has also been reported. SKIN AND EYE CONTACT HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: SKIN: Sensitization and irritation may develop aftr repeated and/or prolonged contact with human skin. EYES: Contact with eyes may lead to irritation and tearing. Isocyanate is reported to induce chemical burns in rabbit eye studies. A similar degree of eye injury hay develop after contact with human eyes. SKIN ABSORPTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Skin absorption is believed to generally be too slow to produce signs of acute systemic poisoning. However, animal studies have shown that respiratory sensitiztion can be induced by skin contact with known respiratory sensitizers, including isocyanates. Isocyanates are a primary skin irritant--they react with skin protein and moisture and can cause irritation. Symptoms can include: redness, swelling, rash, scaling or blistering. Isocyanates are also strong skin sensitizers. Experience indicates that direct skin contact is the route of exposure most likely to cause skin sensitization. Once sensitized, an individual may react even to airborne levels below the TLV with the following symptoms; itching and tingling of the earlobes and neck, rash, hives, swelling of the arms and legs or other symptoms common to allergic dermititus. These symptoms may be immediate or delayed several hours. Prolonged contact can cause reddining, swelling, rash, scaling or blistering. In those who have developed a skin sensitization, these symptoms can develop as a result of contact with very small amounts of liquid material or even as a result of vapor-only exposure. INGESTION HEALTH RISKS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Ingestion: Obtain medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Guard against aspiration into the lungs by having the individual turn on to their left side. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Aspiration of material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Ingestion can result in irritation or chemical burns of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach/digestive tract. Injury may be severe and cause death. Keep person warm and quiet. HEALTH HAZARDS: (Acute and Chronic) Euphoria & central nervous depression, including impaired motor coordination, slurred speech, stupor, loss of muscle coordination & coma. Death may occur due to respiratory arrest & consequent asphyxia. A potent skin and lung sensitizer. Allergic reactions to this product may develop with classic symptoms of allergic dermititis: itching, tingling, rash, hives & swelling. Individuals sensitized to isocyanates should avoid exposures even below recommended exposure levels. CARCINOGENICITY: NTP CARCINOGEN: YES, IARC MONOGRAPHS: YES, OSHA REGULATED: YES Antimony oxide is an IARC (Group IIB) suspect carcinogen. Antimony oxide contains 0.4% arsenic. As contained in this product, the arsenic level is less than 0.10%. Arsenic is an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) cancer hazard, an NTP (National Toxicology Program) human carcinogen, and an IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) Group I human carcinogen. The remaining ingredients are at, or less, than de minimis levels, or are not considered to be carcinogens by the NTP, IARC or OSHA. MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Asthma, other respiratory disorders (bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial hyperreactivity), skin allergies & eczema. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: • Eyes: Flush with clean, lukewarm water for 15 minutes while lifting eyelids. Refer to physician or ophthalmologist for immediate follow-up. • Skin: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash affected areas with soap and water. After washing, cover affected skin with polyethylene glycol and residual isocyanate. Wash clothing before reuse. For severe exposures, get under safety shower and get medical attention if irritation or allergic dermatitis symptoms develop, or if gross exposure develops. For lesser exposures, seek medical attention if irritation persists. Inhalation: Move to fresh air, administer oxygen by a qualified individual or artificial respiration as needed. Get medical attention. Asthmatic-type symptoms may develop and may be immediate or delayed several hours. Treatment is essentially symptomatic. • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give 1 to 2 cups milk or water. If vomiting occurs, keep victim's head below the hips to prevent breathing vomitus into the lungs. Consult physician immediately. Note to physician: • Eyes: Stain for evidence of corneal injury. If cornea is burned, instill antibiotic/steroid preparation frequently. Workplace vapors could produce reversable corneal epithelial edema impairing vision. • Skin: This compound is a potent skin sensitizer. Treat symptomatically as for contact dermititis or thermal burn. • Ingestion: Treat symptomatically. There is no specific antidote. Inducing vomiting is contraindicated because of the irritating nature of the compound. • Inhalation: Treatment is essentially symptomatic. An individual having a dermal or pulmonary sensitization reaction to this material should be removed from any exposure to isocyanate. SECTION 7 - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Small spills: Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Shut down HVAC equipment if inside building or near HVAC system to prevent contaminating building. Ventilate area as vapors are harmful, heavier than air and are flammable or combustable and may migrate to an ignition source. Use only explosion proof equipment. Insure a trained response team is in emergency protective equipment. Prevent further spillage and contain the spill using dikes made of sand, earth or spill pillows. Cover the spill area with a non-combustable absorbant material (e.g., absorbant clay, earth, sand) to absorb as much liquid as possible. Using non sparking tools, carefully shovel the absorbant into open top containers. Do not fill to the top or cover the containers. Prepare a decontaminating solution as follows:
Pour the liquid decontaminant liberally over the remaining spill area and spread with a broom or squeegee to insure contact. Let stand 10-15 minutes @ 25°C(77°F), longer at lower temperatures. Then wash down the area with plenty of water. In a well ventialted area, add enough liquid decontaminent solution to the containers with the absorbed spill material to obtain an approximate 10:1 ration of deconaminate solution to spill material. Mix the liquid-absorbant slurry and let stand for 12-24 hours, and the evolved carbon dioxide has vented away, tighten down the lids and dispose of the mixture in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Test the area for residual solvent and isocyanate vapors before allowing workers to re-enter the area. When safe working conditions have been re-established, remove and decontaminate all equipment used. Large spills: Clear the area of all non-essential personnel. Stay up-wind to avoid breathing vapor. If inside a building, or near HVAC equipment, shut down the HVAC system and ventilate the area as vapors are harmful and flammable or combustable and may migrate to a source of ignition (if mechanical ventilation equipment is to be used to ventilate the area, use only explosion proof equipment). Prevent access to area. Notify the appropriate state, local and federal authorities as well as the material supplier. Insure a trained response team is in appropriate emergency equipment. Prevent further spillage. Contain the spill using sand bags, spill pillows, dirt dikes, etc. It is important that this material not be allowed to enter drains. The reaction with water can be violent and forms an insoluble material which may cause blockage. If this material does enter drains, flush with ample quantities of water and notify the sewer authority immediately. Absorb the spill and decontaminate the spill area and absorbed material as in small spill above. Wash down the area one more time with the decontamination solution. Test the atmosphere for residual solvent and isocyanate vapors before allowing others to re-enter the area. When safe conditions have been reestablished, remove and decontaminate all equipment used. SOLIDIFIED SPILLAGE: Where spills have solidified, sandblasting is the preferred removal method, particularly for road spills. Wear special protective clothing for sandblasting, along with self-contained breathing equipment. Contaminated sand must be collected for decontamination and disposal. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of contaminated product & materials used in cleaning up spills or leaks in a manner approved for this material. Consult appropriate federal, state and local regulatory agencies to ascertain proper disposal procedures. Empty containers will retain product residue & vapors and are subject to proper waste disposal as above. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture contamination. Unused product remaining in opened containers must be purged with dry nitrogen before resealing to prevent CO2 pressure build-up due to moisture contamination. If moisture or water contamination is suspected, do not reseal. Open sealed drums slowly to release any pressure due to possible CO2 pressure build-up. OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not puncture, cut, grind, weld, braze, solder or drill, on or near this container or otherwise expose such container to heat, flame, sparks, static electrical charges, electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and/or emit toxic vapors resulting in injury or death. Closed containers may explode due to pressure build-up if exposed to water or moisture or extreme heat. Containers, even those that have been emptied, will retain product residue and vapors. Always obey hazard warnings and handle empty containers as if they were full. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor or spray mist. Use only in a well ventilated area. SECTION 8: CONTROL MEASURES RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Follow OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.134 for respirator use. Where overspray is present, or if the concentration of solvents or isocyanates is not known or are above the exposure guideline of .005 ppm for isocyanates, use positive pressure, air supplied equipment since air purifying (cartridge type) respirators are not approved for protection from isocyanates. VENTILATION: If current ventilation practices during mixing and application operations are not adequate to minimize exposure, use local exhaust ventilation capable of maintaining emissions at the point of use below the PEL or TLV or other exposure guidelines, as appropriate. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. Mechanical exhaust ventilation, with volume and pattern capable of maintaining a fresh air supply, may be necessary in confined spaces. Refer to OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.94 and/or ACGIH industrial ventilation for guidance about adequate ventilation. Turn off heating and/or air conditioning equipment to prevent contaminating building. PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Chemical resistant gloves determined to be impervious under the conditions of use. EYE PROTECTION: Chemical goggles. If splashing may occur or during spray operations wear a face shield, unless a full face piece respirator is used. Do not wear contact lenses as they may contribute to the severity of injury to the eye from exposure to liquid and/or vapors and spray mist. OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Additional protection may consist of aprons, arm covers or a full body suit. Testing of some commercially available protective clothing indicates that clothing constructed of butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, saranex coated tyvek and some neoprene garments have excellent resistance to permeation by isocyanates. Clothing constructed of neoprene/latex rubber and some PVC garments exhibited limited resistance to permeation by isocyanates. Clothing constructed of polyethylene, latex rubber, PVC or polylaminated tyvek showed little resistance to permeation by isocyanates. Protective clothing should be selected and used in accordance with "guidelines for the selection of chemical protective clothing" published by ACGIH. (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists). WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash at the end of each workshift and before smoking, eating or using the toilet. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and launder before wearing. Discard upon finding evidence of holes cracks or leaks. ADDITIONAL REGULATORY INFORMATION: Additional regulatory information.
