SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview: WARNING! Toxic gasses/fumes may be given off during burning or thermal decomposition. Closed container may forcibly rupture under extreme heat, or when contents have been contaminiated with water. Use cold water spray to cool fire exposed containers to minimize the risk of rupture. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Harmful if inhaled. Respiratory sensitizer. Lung damage and respiratory sensitization may be permanent. Causes skin irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. Skin sensitizer. Animal tests indicate that skin contact alone may lead to allergic respiratory reaction. Causes eye irritation. May cause lung damage. Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause skin irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: May cause nose and throat irritation. May cause lung irritation. May cause allergic respiratory reaction, effects may be permanent. Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards Inhalation As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain individuals may develop sensitization to isocyanates (asthma or asthma like symptoms) that may cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanates at levels below the TLV or PEL. These symptoms, which can include chest tightness, wheezing, cough, shortness of breath or asthmatic attack, could be immediate or delayed up to several hours after exposure. Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has also been reported to cause lung damage, including decrease in lung function, which may be permanent. Sensitization may be either temporary or permanent. Skin: Prolonged contact can cause reddening, 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 aerosols. Eye: May result in corneal opacity (clouding of the eye surface).

Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact Medical Conditions Prone to Aggravation by Exposure: Asthma, other respiratory disorders (bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial hyperreactivity), skin allergies, eczema. If sensitized to isocyanates or other chemicals, do not use. See a physician if a medical condition exists.
