face. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
Ingestion
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give 1 or 2 glasses of milk or water to drink and get medical attention/advice.
IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
SECTION 5) FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide is recommended. Water spray is recommended to cool or protect exposed materials or structures.
Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces. Simultaneous use of foam and water
on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam. Sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
If water is used, use very large quantities of cold water. The reaction between water and hot isocyanate may be vigorous.
Specific Hazards in Case of Fire
Excessive pressure or temperature may cause explosive rupture of containers.
Water contamination will produce carbon dioxide. Do not reseal contaminated containers as pressure buildup may rupture them.
Fire-fighting Procedures
Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Move undamaged
containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors and to
protect personnel. Water may be ineffective but can be used to cool containers exposed to heat or flame. Caution should be exercised
when using water or foam as frothing may occur, especially if sprayed into containers of hot, burning liquid.
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.
Special Protective Actions
Wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus in positive pressure mode with full-face piece. Boots, gloves (neoprene),
goggles, and full protective clothing are also required.
Care should always be exercised in dust/mist areas.
SECTION 6) ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedure
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Isolate hazard area and keep unnecessary people away. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Notify
authorities if any exposure to the general public or the environment occurs or is likely to occur.
If spilled material is cleaned up using a regulated solvent, the resulting waste mixture may be regulated.
Recommended Equipment
Appropriate dust or face mask to eliminate breathing foam dust particulates.
Personal Precautions
Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled materials unless wearing
appropriate protective clothing.
Environmental Precautions
Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage
systems and natural waterways by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning up
Cover container, but do not seal, and remove from work area. Prepare a decontamination solution of 2.0% liquid detergent and 3-8%
PCF 412-5, A-Side
Page 3 of 8 www.Polycoat.com
concentrated ammonium hydroxide in water (5-10% sodium carbonate may be substituted for the ammonium hydroxide). Follow the
precautions on the supplier’s safety data sheets.
Treat the spill area with the decontamination solution, using about 10 parts of the solution for each part of the spill, and allow it to react for
at least 15 minutes. Carbon dioxide will be evolved, leaving insoluble polyureas. Residues from spill cleanup, even when treated as
described may continue to be regulated under provisions of RCRA and require storage and disposal as hazardous waste.
Slowly stir the isocyanate waste into the decontamination solution described above. Let stand for 48 hours, allowing the evolved carbon
dioxide to vent away, residues may still be subject to RCRA storage and disposal requirements. Dispose off in compliance with all
relevant local, state, and federal laws and regulations regarding treatment.
SECTION 7) HANDLING AND STORAGE
General
Wash hands after use.
Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.
Do not breathe vapors or mists.
Use good personal hygiene practices.
Eating, drinking and smoking in work areas is prohibited.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Eyewash stations and showers should be available in areas where this material is used and stored.
Ventilation Requirements
Use only with adequate ventilation to control air contaminants to their exposure limits. The use of local ventilation is recommended to
control emissions near the source.
Storage Room Requirements
Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labeled. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from heat, direct sunlight, strong
oxidizers and any incompatibilities. Store in approved containers and protect against physical damage. Keep containers securely sealed
when not in use. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and appropriate fire codes. Containers that have been opened must be
carefully resealed to prevent leakage. Empty container retain residue and may be dangerous.
Use non-sparking ventilation systems, approved explosion-proof equipment and intrinsically safe electrical systems in areas where this
product is used and stored.
Keep liquid and vapors away from sparks and flame, store in containers above ground and surrounded by dikes to contain spills or leaks.
Do not cut, drill, grind, weld, or perform similar operations on or near containers.
SECTION 8) EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection
Wear eye protection with side shields or goggles. Wear indirect-vent, impact and splash resistant goggles when working with liquids. If
additional protection is needed for entire face, use in combination with a face shield.
Skin Protection
Use of gloves approved to relevant standards made from the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection: PVC,
neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact,
chemical resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should
be replaced. Use of an apron and over- boots of chemically impervious materials such as neoprene or nitrile rubber is recommended to
avoid skin sensitization. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous
substance at the specific workplace. Launder soiled clothes or properly disposed of contaminated material, which cannot be
decontaminated.
Respiratory Protection
If airborne concentrations exceed or are expected to exceed the TLV, use MSHA/NIOSH approved positive pressure supplied pressure
supplied air respiratory with a full face piece or an air supplied hood. For emergencies, use a positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus. Air purifying (cartridge type) respirators are not approved for protection against isocyanates.
Appropriate Engineering Controls
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold
limit value.

reaction with water is slow under 50 C, but is accelerated at higher temperature and in the presence of alkalis, tertiary amines, and metal
compounds. Some reactions can be violent. Material can react with strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, trace amounts of hydrogen cyanide and unidentified organic compounds may be
formed during combustion.
SECTION 11) TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Skin Corrosion/Irritation
Isocyanates react with skin protein and moisture and can cause irritation. Prolonged contact can cause reddening, swelling, rash, scaling,
blistering, and, in some cases, skin sensitization. Individuals who have developed a skin sensitization can develop these symptoms as a
result of contact with very small amounts of liquid material or as a result of exposure to vapor.
Causes skin irritation
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation
Liquid, aerosols or vapors are severely irritating and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and swelling. Prolonged vapor contact may cause
conjunctivitis. Any level of contact should not be left untreated.
Causes serious eye irritation
Respiratory/Skin Sensitization
May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled
May cause an allergic skin reaction
Carcinogenicity
Suspected of causing cancer.
Germ Cell Mutagenicity
No data available.
Reproductive Toxicity
No data available.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Single Exposure
High vapor concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression as evidenced by giddiness, headache, dizziness, and
nausea. Persons with a preexisting, nonspecific bronchial hyperactivity can respond to concentrations below the TLV with similar
symptoms as well as asthma attack. Exposure well above the TLV may lead to bronchitis, bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in
lungs). As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain individuals may develop isocyanate sensitization
(chemical asthma) which will cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanate at levels well below the TLV.
May cause respiratory irritation
Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Repeated Exposure
Chronic overexposure to isocyanate has also been reported to cause lung damage (including decrease in lung function) which may be
permanent.
May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.
Aspiration Hazard
No data available.
