SECTION V HEALTH HAZARD DATA
ANIMAL TOXICITY:
ORAL, LD 50 (INGESTION)....................:N.E.
DERMAL, LD (SKIN CONTACT)..................:N.E.
INHALATION, LC 50 (4 HOUR).................:N.E.
AQUATIC, LC 50 (24 HOUR)...................:N.E.

NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO INDICATE THAT MDI IS A CARCINOGENIC,
TERATOGENIC, OR THAT IT CAUSES REPRODUCTIVE DEFECTS IN ANIMALS AND HUMANS;
HOWEVER, MDI HAS BEEN REPORTED BY NIOSH TO BE MUTAGENIC TO SALMONELLA
TYPHIMURIUM BACTERIA. THERE IS NOT FULL AGREEMENT IN THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AS
TO THE SAFETY OF HUMAN CANCER RISKS.

HUMAN EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION: MAY CAUSE BREATHLESSNESS, SEVERE COUGHING, CHEST DISCOMFORT,
IRRITATION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANE AND REDUCED PULMONARY FUNCTION (REACTION MAY BE
DELAYED 4-8 HOURS). SOME INDIVIDUALS MAY DEVELOP SENSITIVITY LEADING TO ASTHMA-
LIKE SYMPTOMS ON SUBSEQUENT EXPOSURES BELOW THE TLV. THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS
PETROLEUM SOLVENTS. INHALATION OF THESE VAPORS MAY ALSO CAUSE
HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, AND HAVE OTHER EFFECTS ON THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

SKIN: MINOR IRRITATION MAY RESULT FROM ISOCYANATE REACTION WITH SKIN MOISTURE
AND PROTEIN. TEMPORARY STAINS OF THE SKIN MAY RESULT. ALLERGIC SENSITIVITY MAY
OCCUR FOR SOME INDIVIDUALS. REPEATED CONTACT WITH THE SOLVENT IN THIS PRODUCT
MAY LEAD TO DERMATITIS.

EYES: MAY LEAD TO IRRITATION WITH TEARING. MDI MAY REACT WITH MOISTURE IN THE EYES.
INGESTION: IRRITATION AND POSSIBLE CORROSIVE ACTION IN THE MOUTH, THROAT, AN STOMACH TISSUES. VOMITING MAY OCCUR.

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (ACGIH): 0.02 PPM (0.2 MG/M3) FOR THE MDI 100 PPM (563 MG/M3)
PER 8 HOUR WORK DAY; RECOMMENDED BY EXXON PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (OSHA):
SAME.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH CLEAN, WARM WATER AT LOW PRESSURE FOR AS LEAST 15
MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE EYELIDS. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

SKIN CONTACT: WASH EXPOSED SKIN WITH WARM, SOAPY WATER THOROUGHLY, ALCOHOL MAY
BE HELPFUL. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF SWELLING OR REDNESS APPEARS.

INHALATION: MOVE PERSONNEL OUT OF EXPOSURE AREA IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING IS
LABORED OR DIFFICULT, OXYGEN SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED BY TRAINED PERSONNEL. IF
BREATHING HAS STOPPED, APPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY. RESPIRATORY RESPONSE MAY BE DELAYED 4-8 HOURS AFTER EXPOSURE.

INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. ASPIRATION OF
THE PETROLEUM SOLVENT CAN CAUSE SEVERE PULMONARY DAMAGE OR DEATH.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY: BRONCHODIALATORS; OXYGEN.

S E C T I O N VI R E A C T I V I T Y D A T A
STABILITY: STABLE
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: AVOID TEMPERATURES GREATER THAN 100 F
INCOMPATABILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): WATER, STRONG BASES, ALCOHOLS, METAL
COMPOUNDS AND SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS. WILL CAUSE SOME CORROSION TO COPPE ALLOYS AND ALUMINUM. STRONG OXIDENTS AND IGNITION SOURCES DUE TO PETROLEUM
SOLVENT.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: @ >400F: CARBON MONOXIDE, OXIDES O NITROGEN AND TRACES OF HYDROGEN CYANIDE AS WELL AS CO AND ALDEHYDES.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: MAY OCCUR; CONTAMINATION BY MOISTURE OR OTHE MATERIALS, WHICH REACT WITH ISOCYANATES SHOULD BE AVOIDED; CONTAMINATE CONTAINERS SHOULD BE LEFT VENTED AND MOVED TO A SAFE AREA FOR NEUTRALIZATION AN PROPER DISPOSAL.
SECTION VII
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: ONLY PROPERLY PROTECTE PERSONNEL SHOULD REMAIN IN THE AREA. CONTAIN THE SPILL, COVER LIQUID WITH
ABSORBENT MATERIAL (SAW DUST, OIL ABSORBENT, ETC.) PLACE IN OPEN TOP CONTAINERS
AND TREAT WITH DECONTAMINATION SOLUTION (90% WATER, 6% AMMONIA, 4% DETERGENT).
REMOVE CONTAINERS TO A SAFE AREA AND LET STAND 24-48 HOURS. VENTILATE AREA TO
REMOVE VAPORS. ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION SHOULD BE REMOVED.

SECTION VIII
SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
EYE PROTECTION: LIQUID CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FULL FACE SHIELD. NO CONTACT LENSES
SHOULD BE WORN.

SKIN PROTECTION: CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES SUCH AS NATURAL RUBBER OR POLYVINYL
ALCOHOL. COVER AS MUCH OF THE EXPOSED SKIN AS POSSIBLE WITH APPROPRIATE
CLOTHING. IF SKIN CREAMS ARE USED, KEEP AREA COVERED BY CREAM TO MINIMUM.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: FOR SHORT TERM EXPOSURES, USE AN ORGANIC FILTE RESPIRATOR MASK OF A TYPE APPROVED BY NIOSH OR U.S. MINING ENFORCEMENT AND SAFETY
ADMINISTRATION. SUPPLIED AIR OR SELF- CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS PREFERRED.
MDI HAS A LOW VAPOR PRESSURE AND IS MANDATORY. NO SMOKING OR OPEN LIGHTS ARE
PERMITTED.

VENTILATION: GENERAL MECHANICAL OR LOCAL EXHAUST TO MAINTAIN LEVELS BELOW TLV.

OTHER: SAFETY SHOWERS AND EYE WASH STATIONS SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE IN ALL WORK
AREAS. ALL EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE PROPERLY TRAINED.

SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED. STORE IN
A COOL PLACE.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS: KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS AND FLAME. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
