Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting and seek medical advice immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: CO2, dry powder, foam, water spray

Specific hazards during fire fighting: In case of fire cool endangered containers with water. Hazardous fumes in fires, specific to the product: nitrogen oxides (NOx), isocyanate-containing vapours. Under certain fire conditions, traces of other toxic products may occur.

Protective equipment for fire-fighting: In case of fire: wear a self contained respiratory apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental Precautions: Should not be released into the environment.

Methods for cleaning or taking up: Pick up mechanically with a suitable material and collect in a suitable container. Protect against water.

Suitable binder: sand (for damming up), acid binder, universal absorbent, sawdust.

Handling and storage

Advice on safe handling: Open the containers with caution.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Protect from moisture.

If possible, use material transfer/filling, metering and blending plants that are closed, or

provide for local suction devices.

Fire and explosion protection: Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Stability and reactivity

Decomposition products: isocyanate-containing vapours

Thermal decomposition: Decomposition starts at approx. 260 °C

Hazardous reactions: Reacts violently with amines (exothermic). Exothermic reaction with acids, alkalis, powerful oxidants, alcohols. Reacts with water, whereby carbon dioxide is produced; pressure may build up in closed containers (danger of bursting).
