Potential health effects

Eyes Liquid or vapors may irritate the eyes. Prolonged or repeated contact may worsen irritation. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. May lead to permanent damage if not treated promptly. May cause temporary corneal injury. space Skin This product may cause irritation to the skin. Prolonged or repeated contact with this product may dry and/or defat the skin. This product may be harmful if it is absorbed through the skin. Isocyanates may react with skin protein and moisture to cause itching, reddening, swelling, scaling or blistering. Individuals previously sensitized to this material may experience these symptoms from exposure to very small amounts of liquid or vapor. space Inhalation This product may cause irritation to the respiratory system. Excessive inhalation of this material causes headache, dizziness, nausea and incoordination. Single large does, and/or repeated exposures, may lead to sensitization to diisocyanates or polyisocyanates (asthma or asthma-like symptoms), causing an individual to experience adverse effects at exposure levels well below exposure limits or guidelines. Symptoms may include chest tightness, wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing or asthmatic attack, and may be delayed up to several hours. Extreme asthmatic reactions can be life threatening. Once sensitized, an individual may experience adverse symptoms upon exposure to dust, cold air or other irritants. Sensitization can last several months, years or be permanent in some cases. space Ingestion This product is harmful if swallowed. Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. This product may produce corrosive damage to the gastrointestinal tract if it is swallowed. space Target organs Lungs, skin and eyes. Central nervous system. Kidneys.

Hazard statements

This product contains Methylene Diphenyl Isocyanate (MDI) which is a potential skin sensitizer and has been shown to alter cells in certain experiments. Although inconclusive, these cellular changes are thought to indicate potential carcinogenicity. Risk to your health depends on duration and concentration of exposure. .
