Section 2. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
Contains dispenylmethane disocyanate (CAS No. 101-68-8) Inhalation MDI mists or vapors may
cause respiratory irritation, breathlessness, chest discomfort, and reduced pulmonary function.
Overexposure well above the PEL may result in bronchitis, bronchial spasms, and pulmonary
edema. Long-term exposure to isocyanates has been reported to cause lung damage, including
reduced lung function, which may be permanent. Acute or chronic overexposure to isocyanates
may cause sensitization in some individuals resulting in allergic respiratory reactions including
wheezing, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.
Potential Health Effects
Primary routes of exposure
Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion, and inhalation.
Routes of entry for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of
entry for liquified gases.
Acute Toxicity: Information on MDI
Inhalation of MDI vapors may cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose, throat or
trachea, breathlessness, chest discomfort, difficult breathing, and reduced function. Air-borne
overexposure well above the PEL may result additionally in eye irritation, headache, chemical
bronchitis, asthma-like findings or pulmonary edema. Isocyanates have also been reported to
cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms, the onset of

which may be delayed. Gastrointestinal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal
pain.
Irritation: Information on Disocyanates
Eye contact with isocyanates may result in conjuctival irritation and mild corneal opacity. Skin
contact may result in dermatitis, either irritative or allergic.
Repeated Dose Toxicity: Information on MDI
Results from a lifetime inhalation study of rats indicate that MDI aerosol was carcinogenic at
6mg/m3, the highest dose tested. This is well above the recommended TLV of 5 ppb
(0.05 6mg/m3) Only irritation was noted at the lower concentration of 0.2 and 1mg/m3. No birth
defects or teratogenic effects were reported in a teratology study with rats exposed to 1, 4, and 12
mg/m3 polymeric MDI for 6 hr/day on days 6-15 gestation. Embryotoxicity was reported at the
top dose in the presence of maternity toxicity.
Information of Isocyanates
As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain individuals will
develop isocyanate sensitization. (chemical asthma) which will cause them to react to a later
exposure of isocyanate at levels well below the PEL/TLV. These symptoms, which include chest
tightness, wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or asthmatic attack could be immediate or
delayed up to several hours after exposure. Similar to many non-specific asthmatic responses,
there are reports that once sensitized, an individual can experience these symptoms upon
exposure to dust, cold air, or other irritants. The increased lung sensitivity can persist for weeks
and in severe cases for several years. Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has been reported
to cause lung damage, including a decrease in lung function, which may be permanent.
Sensitization may be either temporary or permanent. Prolonged contact can cause reddening,
swelling, rash, scaling, or blistering. In those who have developed a skin sensitization, these
symptoms can develop as a result of contact with very small amounts of liquid material, or even
as a result of vapor-only exposure.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure
The isocyanate component is a respiratory sensitizer. It may cause an allergic reaction leading to
asthma like spasms of the bronchial tubes and difficulty in breathing. Person with history with
respiratory disease or hypersensitivity should not be expose to the product. An animal study
indicated that MDI may induce respiratory hypersensitivity following dermal exposure. Medical
supervision of all employees who handle or come into contact with isocyanates is recommended.
Pre-employment and periodic medical examinations with respiratory function tests (FEV,FVC as a
minimum) are suggested. Persons with asthmatic conditions, chronic bronchitis, other chronic
respiratory diseases, recurrent eczema or pulmonary sensitization should be excluded from
working with isocyanates, further exposure is not recommended. Contact may aggravate
pulmonary disorders.

Section 4. First-Aid Measures
Description of Necessary First Aid Measures
General advice: Remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes, lift upper and
lower eyelids. Remove contact lenses. Get medical attention if
irritation persists.
Inhalation: Move to an area that has plenty of fresh air. Rest in a position
comfortable for breathing. Get medical attention if symptoms
occur.
Skin Contact: Flush contaminated skin with soap water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if
symptoms occur.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Seek fresh air and rest in a
comfortable position for breathing. If material has been
swallowed, drink small quantities of water. Do not induce
vomiting. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Note to Physician:
Hazards: Symptoms can appear later
Antidote: Specific antidotes or neutralizers to isocyanate do not exist
Treatment: Treatment should be supportive and based on the judgement of
the physician in response to the reaction of the patient.

For small amounts: Absorb isocyanate with suitable absorbent material (use 40 CFR, sections
260, 204, and 265 for further information). Shovel into open container. Do not make container
pressure tight. Move container to a well-ventilated area (outside) Spill area can be
decontaminated with the following recommended decontamination solution. Mixture of 90%
water, 8% concentrated ammonia, 2% detergent. Add at a 10 to 1 ratio. Allow it to stand for at
least 48 hours to allow escape of evolved carbon dioxide. For large amounts: If temporary
control of isocyanate vapor is required, a blanket of protein foam or other suitable foam (available
from most fire departments) may be placed over the spill. Transfer as much liquid as possible via
pump or vacuum device into closed but not sealed containers for disposal. For residues: The
following measures should be taken for final cleanup: Wash down spill area with
decontamination solution. Allow solution to stand for at least 10 minutes.
