|
|
Physical Form: Liquid
Color: Dark Brown
Odor: Slightly Musty Odor
Boiling Point: >644
°F (>340
°C) at temperature above 400
°F (204
°C) can polymerize or decompose (see section 5)

Section 4. Fire and Explosion Data
|
|
Flash Point: 365
°F (185
°C)
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon
dioxide (CO2). For large fires, use fog or regular foam.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and
may collect in low lying areas. Container may explode in heat of
fire. Exposure to flames or arc welding can produce highly toxic gases
due to the thermal decomposition or combustion of the product. (see
section 5)
Fire Fighting Procedures: Since fire may produce toxic thermal
decomposition products, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a
full face piece operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode.
Apply cooling water to sides of container until well after fire is out.
Do not release fire water runoff to sewers or water ways.

|
|
Section 5. Reactivity Data
|
|
Stability: Is stable at room temperature in closed containers
under normal storage and handling conditions.
Hazardous Polymerization: can occur. Contact with moisture,
other materials which react with isocyanates, or temperatures above
400
°F (204
°C), may cause polymerization.
Incompatibility: Is incompatible with water, amines, strong bases
and alcohols.
Hazardous Products of Decomposition: Thermal decomposition can
produce carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen, traces of
cyanic acid and MDI vapors.

FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with a directed stream of water
for at least 15 minutes, forcibly holding eyelids apart to ensure
complete irrigation of all eye and lid tissue. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
Skin: Quickly remove contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated areas with plenty of soap and water. A soothing
ointment may be applied to irritated skin after thorough
cleansing. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Inhalation: Remove exposed person to fresh air and support
breathing if necessary.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give 1 to 2 cups of milk or
water to drink. If vomiting is inevitable, prevent aspiration by
keeping the victim's head below the knees. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY
MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Exposure Limits: have not been established for this
material. Use the exposure limits in section 2 for MDI: OSHA PEL: 0.02 ppm STEL
ACGIHTLV: 0.02 ppm STEL
|
|
|
Section 7. Employee Protection Recommendations
|
|
Goggles: Wear a face shield (8 in. minimum) per OSHA eye and face
protection regulations (20 CFR 1910.133).
Respirator: Because of the low vapor pressure,
ventilation is usually sufficient to keep the vapors below the TLV at room
temperatures. Exceptions are when the material is sprayed or heated.
If airborne concentrations would exceed the TLV, follow OSHA respirator
regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and if necessary wear MSHA/NIOSH-approved
respirator. If inadequate ventilation in confined spaces, use supplied
air respirator or self contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece
operated in pressure demand or positive-pressure mode.
Clothing: Wear chemically protective gloves, boots and aprons to
prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Viton, neoprene and butyl
rubber are recommended materials for protected gear.
Ventilation: Provide general and local exhaust ventilation
systems to maintain airborne concentrations below the OSHA PEL level.
Others: Never drink, eat or smoke in work areas. Practice good
personal hygiene after using this material and before eating, drinking
and smoking.
|
|
|
Section 8. Spill and Leak Procedures
|
|
Notify safety personnel, isolate and ventilate the area. Stay up
wind. Remove all ignition sources. For small spills, absorb with
sand or other absorbents and place suitable containers for later
disposal. For large spills, dike ahead for a later disposal or
reclamation. For disposal, follow applicable federal, state, and
local regulations.
|
|
|
Section 9. Special Precautions
|
|
Storage: Prevent physical damage to containers. Store in steel
drums, in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from sunlight and
incompatibles, and food.
