4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, give mouth to
mouth resuscitation. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Consult a
physician immediately.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contact area
with warm water and soap. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15
minutes, holding eye lids open to be sure the material is washed out.
Consult a physician immediately.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. No adverse anticipated by this
route of exposure. Get medical attention.
MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS/EFFECTS: May cause skin and eye
irritation. Vapors or mists may cause respiratory irritation. May cause
allergic respiratory reaction in sensitized persons, resulting in wheezing,
shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.
INDICATION OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION/SPECIAL
TREATMENT: Required for asthmatic symptoms or serious inhalation
exposures. Respiratory systems, including pulmonary edema, may be
delayed. Persons receiving significant exposure should be observed 24-
48 hours for signs of respiratory distress. Persons sensitized to
Diisocyanates should consult a physician before working with respiratory
irritants or sensitizers.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, carbon dioxide or dry
chemical. Do not use solid water stream. Solid stream of water into hot
product may cause violent steam generation or eruption.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS: Water contamination will produce Carbon Dioxide.
Do not re-seal contaminated containers as pressure buildup may rupture.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT & PRECAUTIONS FOR
FIREFIGHTERS: Wear approved positive pressure, self-contained
breathing apparatus and full body protective clothing.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: Clear non-emergency personnel from the
area. Ventilate area. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent eye
and skin contact and respiratory protection.
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANUP:
Cover with an inert absorbent material and collect into an appropriate
container for disposal. Do not seal the container since CO2 is generated
on contact with moisture and dangerous pressure buildup can occur.
Decontaminate floor area with a mixture of water plus isopropyl alcohol
(25%), household ammonia (15%), and detergent (5%).
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Avoid inhalation of vapors and spray mists. Use in well-
ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area. Keep container
closed when not in use.
STORAGE: Store indoors at temperatures between 65F and 75F (18C &
24C). Recommend storage in original, unopened containers. Protect
from atmospheric moisture and water since isocyanates reacts with water
to form CO2, leading to potentially dangerous pressure buildup in sealed
containers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
CHEMICAL CAS NO. ACGIH TLV/OSHA PEL
4,4-Diphenylmethane Diisocyanate 101-68-8 0.005ppm/0.02ppm (ceiling)

VENTILATION: Use with adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to
maintain exposure levels below the occupation exposure limits.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use an approved respirator with organic
vapor cartridges, if needed. Respirator selection and use should be
based on contaminant type, form and concentration. For any spray
application or situation where airborne particulates or aerosol are
generated, a supplied air source must be provided.
SKIN PROTECTON: Chemical resistant gloves, i.e., natural rubber or
polyvinyl.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear chemical safety goggles.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Eyewash stations and safety showers.
OTHER PROTECTIVE MEASURES: All employees should be properly
trained in handling of material.

Auto-ignition Temperature: No data available
Decomposition Temperature: 646F (341C)
Viscosity: 50-250 cps
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
REACTIVITY: Avoid moisture. Isocyanates react with many materials
and the rate of reaction increases with temperature. Reaction with water
generates carbon dioxide (CO2) and heat.
CHEMICAL STABILITY: Stable under recommended conditions.
POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS REACTION: Elevated temperatures,
over 347F (175C) can cause hazardous polymerization. Polymerization
can be catalyzed by strong bases or water. Reaction with water
generates carbon dioxide (CO2), and generates heat and pressure in
closed systems.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid moisture and temperatures below 60F
(18C) and above 120F (49C).
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Avoid contact with water, acids, bases,
alcohols, and strong oxidizers.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Possibly isocyanate
vapor, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and traces of hydrogen cyanide.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
HUMAN EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Inhalation: May cause respiratory sensitization in susceptible individuals.
At room temperature, vapors are minimal due to low volatility. If heated or
sprayed as an aerosol, excessive concentrations are attainable that could
be hazardous on single exposure. Excessive exposure may cause
irritation of the eyes, upper respiratory tract and lungs. Effects may be
delayed. Decrease ventilation capacity has been associated with
exposure to similar Isocyanates; it is possible that exposure to MDI may
cause impairment of lung function. Vapors or aerosols may cause
respiratory irritation and possibly pulmonary edema, or respiratory
sensitization. For individuals sensitized to MDI, exposure may result in
allergic respiratory reactions (e.g., coughing, wheezing, difficulty
breathing).
Ingestion: Single oral dose toxicity is low. May cause adverse
gastrointestinal effects.
Skin contact: May cause irritation. Repeated skin contact may cause
an allergic skin reaction. Studies in animals indicate skin contact with
isocyanates may elicit respiratory sensitization.
ACUTE EFFECTS Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: Asthma,
other respiratory disorders (bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial hyper-
reactivity), skin allergies, eczema. Repeated or prolonged exposure to
isocyanates may cause an allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract
causing an asthma-like response upon re-exposure. Repeated
overexposure to isocyanates has been associated with decreased lung
function. Repeated or prolonged dermal contact with this product may
cause allergic skin sensitization in some individuals.
ACUTE TOXICITY VALUES:
Acute Toxicity (Oral): Test Results
LD 50 (Rat): >20 g/kg
Acute Toxicity (Dermal): Test Results
LDS 50 (Rabbit): >15.8 g/kg
Acute Toxicity (Inhalation): Test Results
LC 50 (Fish 4hr): approx 370
mg/l
Eyes: Liquids, aerosols, or vapors are irritating and can cause tearing,
reddening, and swelling following contact.
Skin: Can cause skin irritation, which may include the following:
reddening, swelling, rash, scaling, and blistering.
Other: No conclusive evidence has been developed to indicate that MDI
is carcinogenic, teratogenic, or that it causes reproductive effects in
animals and humans.
GERM CELL MUTAGENICITY: Components are not known mutagens.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: Components are not known reproductive
toxins.
CARCINOGENICITY: MDI is not listed by IARC, NTP or regulated by
OSHA as carcinogens.
SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY: Single Exposure: No data
available. Repeat 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.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ECOTOXICITY: Material is practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms on
an acute basis (LC50/EC50/EL50/LL50>100 mg/L in the most sensitive
species tested). Reacts with water to form insoluble polyureas. Limited
movement in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Not readily
biodegradable and not expected to bioaccumulate.

forming predominantly insoluble polyureas which appear to be stable in
aquatic and terrestrial environments. In the atmospheric environment,
material is expected to have a short tropospheric half-life, based on
calculations and by analogy with related diisocyanates.
