Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General Information: Not expected to be a health hazard when used under normal conditions.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
Skin Contact: Contaminated clothing must be removed as soon as possible. It must be relaundered before reuse. Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if available.
Eye Contact: DO NOT DELAY. Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
Ingestion: DO NOT DELAY. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration.
Advice to Physician: Treat symptomatically. Following cases of gross overexposure, investigation of liver, kidney and eye function may be advisable. Records of such incidents should be maintained for future reference.
Fire-fighting measures
Specific Hazards: Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel. Will only burn if enveloped in a pre-existing fire. Hazardous combustion products may include: Carbon dioxide. Unidentified organic and inorganic compounds. Toxic products. Carbon monoxide.
Extinguishing Media: Large fires should only be fought by properly trained fire fighters. Alcohol-resistant foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use water in a jet.
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Additional Advice: All storage areas should be provided with adequate fire fighting facilities. Keep adjacent containers cool by spraying with water.
Accidental release measures
Observe all relevant local and international regulations.
Protective measures: Avoid contact with spilled or released material. Avoid inhaling vapour and/or mists. Avoid contact with the skin. Extinguish any naked flames. Do not smoke. Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly.
Clean Up Methods: For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or safe disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely. For small liquid spills (< 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means to a labelled, sealable container for product recovery or safe disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
Additional Advice: Proper disposal should be evaluated based on regulatory status of this material, potential contamination from subsequent use and spillage, and regulations governing disposal in the local area. Observe all relevant local regulations.
Handling and storage
General Precautions: Avoid breathing vapours or contact with material. Only use in well ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after handling. For comprehensive advice on handling, product transfer, storage and tank cleaning refer to the product supplier.
Handling: In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material. Use local exhaust extraction over processing area. Avoid unintentional contact with isocyanates to prevent uncontrolled polymerisation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Airdry contaminated clothing in a well-ventilated area before laundering. Extinguish any naked flames. Do not smoke. Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks. Do not empty into drains. Handling Temperature: Ambient. When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn and proper handling equipment should be used.
Storage: Prevent all contact with water and with moist atmosphere. Tanks must be clean, dry and rust-free. Prevent ingress of water. Must be stored in a diked (bunded) well-ventilated area, away from sunlight, ignition sources and other sources of heat. Nitrogen blanket recommended for large tanks (capacity 100 m3 or higher). Drums should be stacked to a maximum of 3 high. Maximum storage time: 12 months. Storage Temperature: Ambient. Storage should be handled at temperatures such that viscosities are less than 500 cSt; typically at 25-50 °C. Tanks should be fitted with heating coils in areas where the ambient temperatures are below the recommended product handling temperatures. Heating coil skin temperatures should not exceed 100 °C.
Product Transfer: Lines should be purged with nitrogen before and after product transfer. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Unsuitable Materials: Copper. Copper alloys.
Additional Information: Ensure that all local regulations regarding handling and storage facilities are followed. Use the information in this data sheet as input to a risk assessment of local circumstances to help determine appropriate controls for safe handling, storage and disposal of this material.
