Flowfresh Primer Hardener B

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Harmful by inhalation. This hazard is most likely to arise when materials are heated, sprayed, used in a confined unventilated space or if correct handling procedures are not followed. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. In mild cases the affected person may experience slight irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, possibly combined with dryness of the throat. In more severe cases the person may suffer acute bronchial irritation and difficulty in breathing. May cause sensitisation by inhalation and skin contact. Repeated and /or prolonged exposure may cause an allergic reaction/sensitisation. Once sensitised, an individual may produce an allergic reaction every time they are in contact with isocyanates. Individuals who have developed sensitivity may experience wheezing, tightness of the chest and shortness of breath. A hyper-reactive response to even minimal concentrations of isocyanate may develop in sensitised persons. When the base is mixed with the hardener an exothermic reaction starts (i.e. heat is generated). If the mix is not applied within 20 - 30 minutes some smoking may occur.
