SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance/Odor

Brown liquid with a slight musty odor IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Harmful by inhalation. Use in well ventilated areas. Irritating to eyes and respiratory system. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. This product is a respiratory irritant and potential respiratory sensitizer: repeated inhalation of vapour or aerosol at levels above the occupational exposure limit could cause respiratory sensitization. A hyper-reactive response to even minimal concentrations of diisocyanates may develop in sensitized persons. The onset of the respiratory symptoms may be delayed for several hours after exposure. Reacts slowly with water to produce carbon dioxide which may rupture closed containers. This reaction accelerates at higher temperatures. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not get on skin or clothing. Avoid contact with eyes. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Potential health effects

EYES: May cause irritation, tearing, reddening, and swelling. SKIN: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. INGESTION: Slightly hazardous in case of ingestion. INHALATION: Hazardous in case of inhalation (lung irritant, lung sensitizer).

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

May cause or aggravate dermatitis and asthma

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye and skin contact, inhalation of vapors, or accidental ingestion
