Hazard statements
Classified as Non-Hazardous according to the criteria of the Australian Safety and Compensation Council ASCC (formerly NOHSC) Approved Criteria For Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC: 1008] 3rd Edition. Rigid Polyisocyanurate Foam Insulation is classified as Non-Dangerous Goods according to the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail. Ingestion: Polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams are considered non-toxic on ingestion. Eye Contact: Dust from cutting, machining, may irritate the eyes. Irritating vapors (decomposition products) may be produced if product is exposed to high temperatures (≥ 250 deg C). Skin Contact: Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure include asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, skin allergies and eczema. The possibility exists that individuals who are very sensitive to isocyanates may also be sensitive to the reacted foam. Should this be the case, those individuals need to be assigned to an area which does not have PIR foam. Inhalation: PIR foam are chemically inert. Foam dust can cause mechanical irritation of the upper respiratory tract. If ignited, foam may decompose and emit toxic gases and respiratory irritants. Dust from cutting, machining, is non-hazardous.
