4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of first aid measures
General advice: First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the
recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for
exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth
use rescuer protection (pocket mask, etc). If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.
Skin contact: Remove material from skin immediately by washing with soap and plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes while washing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Wash clothing before reuse. An MDI skin decontamination study demonstrated that cleaning very
soon after exposure is important, and that a polyglycol-based skin cleanser or corn oil may be more
effective than soap and water. Discard items which cannot be decontaminated, including leather
articles such as shoes, belts and watchbands. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be
available in work area.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5
minutes, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention without delay,
preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately
available.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found
under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and
special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in
Section 11: Toxicology Information.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to physician: Excessive exposure may aggravate preexisting asthma and other respiratory
disorders (e.g. emphysema, bronchitis, reactive airways dysfunction syndrome). Maintain adequate
ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. May cause respiratory sensitization or asthma-like
symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants and antitussives may be of help. Treat bronchospasm with
inhaled beta2 agonist and oral or parenteral corticosteroids. Respiratory symptoms, including
pulmonary edema, may be delayed. Persons receiving significant exposure should be observed 24-48
hours for signs of respiratory distress. If you are sensitized to diisocyanates, consult your physician
regarding working with other respiratory irritants or sensitizers. Exposure may increase myocardial
irritability . Do not administer sympathomimetic drugs such as epinephrine unless absolutely
necessary. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical
condition of the patient.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon
dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose
synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: no data available
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition
to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion
products may include and are not limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Isocyanates. Hydrogen fluoride.
Hydrogen cyanide. Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product reacts with water. Reaction may produce heat and/or
gases. This reaction may be violent. Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.
Vaporizes quickly at room temperature. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel a long distance
and accumulate in low lying areas. Dense smoke is emitted when burned without sufficient oxygen.
Advice for firefighters
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Stay
upwind. Keep out of low areas where gases (fumes) can accumulate. Water is not recommended, but
may be applied in large quantities as a fine spray when other extinguishing agents are not available.
Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or
monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from
venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May spread
fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Use water spray to cool fire-
exposed containers and fire-affected zone until fire is out.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers,
boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely,
change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is
not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight
fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer
to the relevant sections.

OSHA Z-1 C 0.2 mg/m3 0.02 ppm
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane US WEEL TWA 1,000 ppm
Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be
necessary for some operations. Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilationto control airborne
levels below the exposure guidelines. Exhaust systems should be designed to move the air away
from the source of vapor/aerosol generation and people working at this point. The odor and irritancy
of this material are inadequate to warn of excessive exposure. Lethal concentrations may exist in
areas with poor ventilation.
Individual protection measures
Eye/face protection: Use chemical goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Examples of
preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Polyethylene. Chlorinated
polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ( EVAL ). Examples of acceptable glove
barrier materials include: Viton. Neoprene. Polyvinyl chloride ( PVC or vinyl ).
Nitrile/butadiene rubber ( nitrile or NBR ). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove
for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into
account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals
which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity,
thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the
instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will
depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure
guideline. When atmospheric levels may exceed the exposure guideline, use an approved air-
purifying respirator equipped with an organic vapor sorbent and a particle filter. For situations
where the atmospheric levels may exceed the level for which an air-purifying respirator is
effective, use a positive-pressure air-supplying respirator (air line or self-contained breathing
apparatus). For emergency response or for situations where the atmospheric level is
unknown, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-
pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air supply. In confined or poorly ventilated areas,
use an approved self-contained breathing apparatus or positive pressure air line with auxiliary
self-contained air supply.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge
with a particulate pre-filter.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity: no data available
Chemical stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: Can occur.
Conditions to avoid: Elevated temperatures can cause container to vent and/or rupture. Exposure to
elevated temperatures can cause product to decompose. Generation of gas during decomposition
can cause pressure in closed systems. Pressure build-up can be rapid. Avoid moisture. Material
reacts slowly with water, releasing carbon dioxide which can cause pressure buildup and rupture of
closed containers. Elevated temperatures accelerate this reaction.
Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with: Acids. Alcohols. Amines. Ammonia. Bases. Metal
compounds. Strong oxidizers. Diisocyanates react with many materials and the rate of reaction
increases with temperature as well as increased contact; these reactions can become violent. Contact
is increased by stirring or if the other material mixes with the diisocyanate. Diisocyanates are not
soluble in water and sink to the bottom, but react slowly at the interface. The reaction forms carbon

Sealant
Issue Date: 04/10/2015
Page 8 of 15
dioxide gas and a layer of solid polyurea. Reaction with water will generate carbon dioxide and heat.
Avoid unintended contact with polyols. The reaction of polyols and isocyanates generate heat.
Hazardous decomposition products: Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply
and the presence of other materials. Toxic gases are released during decomposition.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological information on this product or its components appear in this section when such data is
available.
Acute toxicity
Acute oral toxicity
Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal
handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may
cause injury. Observations in animals include: Gastrointestinal irritation.
As product: Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined.
LD50, Rat, > 2,000 mg/kg Estimated.
Acute dermal toxicity
Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.
As product: The dermal LD50 has not been determined.
LD50, Rabbit, > 2,000 mg/kg Estimated.
Acute inhalation toxicity
In confined or poorly ventilated areas, vapor can easily accumulate and can cause
unconsciousness and death due to displacement of oxygen. Excessive exposure may cause
irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. May cause pulmonary edema
(fluid in the lungs.) Effects may be delayed. Decreased lung function has been associated
with overexposure to isocyanates. Excessive exposure may increase sensitivity to
epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability (irregular heartbeats). May cause central
nervous system effects. Symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic
effects; dizziness and drowsiness may be observed.
As product: The LC50 has not been determined.
Skin corrosion/irritation
Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation with local redness.
May stain skin.
Serious eye damage/eye irritation
May cause moderate eye irritation.
May cause slight temporary corneal injury.

May cause allergic respiratory reaction.
MDI concentrations below the exposure guidelines may cause allergic respiratory reactions in
individuals already sensitized.
Asthma-like symptoms may include coughing, difficult breathing and a feeling of tightness in the chest.
Occasionally, breathing difficulties may be life threatening.
Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Single Exposure)
May cause respiratory irritation.
Route of Exposure: Inhalation
Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Repeated Exposure)
Tissue injury in the upper respiratory tract and lungs has been observed in laboratory animals after
repeated excessive exposures to MDI/polymeric MDI aerosols.
Carcinogenicity
Lung tumors have been observed in laboratory animals exposed to respirable aerosol droplets of
MDI/Polymeric MDI (6 mg/m3) for their lifetime. Tumors occurred concurrently with respiratory
irritation and lung injury. Current exposure guidelines are expected to protect against these effects
reported for MDI.
Teratogenicity
In laboratory animals, MDI/polymeric MDI did not cause birth defects; other fetal effects occurred only
at high doses which were toxic to the mother. Contains component(s) which did not cause birth
defects in animals; other fetal effects occurred only at doses toxic to the mother.
Reproductive toxicity
No relevant data found.
Mutagenicity
Genetic toxicity data on MDI are inconclusive. MDI was weakly positive in some in vitro studies; other
in vitro studies were negative. Animal mutagenicity studies were predominantly negative.
