SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: DANGER! Causes skin irritation. Causes eye irritation. Causes nose and throat irritation. Vapor and spray mist harmful. Causes nose and throat irritation. Overexposure may cause lung damage. May cause allergic skin and respiratory reaction. Effects may be permanent. Target Organs Potentially • Respiratory Tract Affected by Exposure: • Skin

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Skin allergies. • Individuals with lung or breathing problems or prior reaction to isocyanates must not be exposed to vapor or spray mist. • Immediate (Acute) Health Effects by Route of Exposure: Skin Contact: Sensitizer. Avoid exposure. If sensitized, repeated exposures will result in irritation, reddening, and rashes even for very low exposures. Long-Term (Chronic) Health Effects: Inhalation: Isocyanate vapors or mist at concentrations above the TLV can irritate the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath and reduced lung function. Exposure well above the TLV may lead to generally reversible bronchitis, bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema. Repeated overexposure causes sensitization in some individuals resulting in asthma-like symptoms on subsequent exposures below the TLV. Persons with preexisting bronchial hyperactivity can respond to concentrations below the TLV with similar symptoms as well as an asthma attack. Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause an allergic skin reaction.
