Disposal

P501: Dispose of contents/container according to local, regional, national, and international regulations. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: WARNING! Contains Diphenylmethane Diisocyanate (CAS No. 101-68-8). May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Harmful if inhaled. Respiratory sensitizer. May cause lung damage. Lung damage and respiratory sensitization may be permanent. May cause skin irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. Skin sensitizer. Animal tests and other research indicate that skin contact with MDI can cause isocyanate desensitization and respiratory reaction. Contains crystalline silica (quartz). Respirable crystalline silica (quartz) can cause silicosis, a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. Silicosis may be progressive; it may lead to disability and death. Crystalline silica (quartz) inhaled from occupational sources is classified as carcinogenic to humans.

Potential health effects

EYES: May cause eye irritation such as redness, tearing, and itching. SKIN: May cause skin irritation upon contact. May cause allergic reaction in susceptible individuals. INGESTION: May cause irritation of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach. May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea and vomiting. INHALATION: MDI vapors or mist concentration at or above the TLV can irritate (burning sensation) the mucous membrane in the respiratory tract causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath and reduced lung function. Persons with pre-existing non-specific bronchial hyper- reactivity can respond to concentrations well below the TLV with similar symptoms as well as asthma attacks. Exposure well above the TLV may lead to bronchitis, bronchial spasm, and pulmonary edema. These effects are usually reversible. Chemical or hypersensitive pneumonitis, with flu-like symptoms (e.g. fever, chills) has also been reported. These symptoms can be delayed up to several hours after exposure. As a result of previous repeated overexposure or a single large dose, certain individuals develop isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma), which will cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanate at levels well below the TLV. Similar to many non-specific asthmatic responses, there are reports that once sensitized an individual can experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust, cold air, or other irritants. This increase lung sensitivity can persist for weeks and in severe cases for several years. Overexposure to isocyanates has also been reported to cause lung damage (decrease in lung function), which may be permanent. Sensitization can be either temporary or permanent.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye and Skin Contact, Inhalation and Ingestion IRRITANCY: Eye and skin irritation. SENSITIZATION: May cause allergic respiratory and skin reaction. Respiratory and skin sensitizer.
