CA 8200B Desothane HS Activator

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency overview : WARNING! COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR. CAUSES RESPIRATORY TRACT AND EYE IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC RESPIRATORY AND SKIN REACTION. SKIN CONTACT TO ISOCYANATE MONOMER MAY LEAD TO ALLERGIC LUNG REACTION. MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED OR SWALLOWED. PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY DRY SKIN AND CAUSE IRRITATION. CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT CAN CAUSE TARGET ORGAN DAMAGE. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not swallow. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Potential Acute Health Effects

Inhalation : May be harmful if inhaled. Irritating to respiratory system. Can irritate eyes, nose, mouth and throat. May cause sensitization by inhalation. Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Serious effects may be delayed following exposure. Ingestion May be harmful if swallowed. Skin : Moderately irritating to the skin. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Eyes : Severely irritating to eyes. Risk of serious damage to eyes. Over-exposure signs/symptoms Repeated exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause irritation of the respiratory system and permanent brain and nervous system damage. Inhalation of vapor/aerosol concentrations above the recommended exposure limits causes headaches, drowsiness and nausea and may lead to unconsciousness or death. There is some evidence that repeated exposure to organic solvent vapors in combination with constant loud noise can cause greater hearing loss than expected from exposure to noise alone. Based on the properties of the isocyanate components and considering toxicological data on similar preparations, this preparation may cause acute irritation and/or sensitization of the respiratory system, leading to an asthmatic condition, wheezing and tightness of the chest. Sensitized persons may subsequently show asthmatic symptoms when exposed to atmospheric concentrations well below the OEL. Repeated exposure may lead to permanent respiratory disability. Medical conditions Pre-existing respiratory and skin disorders and disorders involving any other target aggravated by over- organs mentioned in this MSDS as being at risk may be aggravated by over-exposure to exposure this product.
