SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
NZ Poisons Centre 0800 POISON (0800 764 766) | NZ Emergency Services: 111
Description of first aid measures
Eye Contact
If this product comes in contact with the eyes: Wash out immediately with fresh running water. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionallylifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
Skin Contact
If skin contact occurs:Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
Inhalation
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aidprocedures. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocketmask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
Following uptake by inhalation, move person to an area free from risk of further exposure. Oxygen or artificial respirationshould be administered as needed. Asthmatic-type symptoms may develop and may be immediate or delayed up to severalhours. Treatment is essentially symptomatic. A physician should be consulted.
Ingestion
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway andprevent aspiration. Observe the patient carefully. Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. Seek medical advice.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment neededFor sub-chronic and chronic exposures to isocyanates:
This material may be a potent pulmonary sensitiser which causes bronchospasm even in patients without prior airway hyperreactivity. Clinical symptoms of exposure involve mucosal irritation of respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Conjunctival irritation, skin inflammation (erythema, pain vesiculation) and gastrointestinal disturbances occur soon after exposure. Pulmonary symptoms include cough, burning, substernal pain and dyspnoea. Some cross-sensitivity occurs between different isocyanates. Noncardiogenic pulmonary oedema and bronchospasm are the most serious consequences of exposure. Markedly symptomatic patients should receiveoxygen, ventilatory support and an intravenous line. Treatment for asthma includes inhaled sympathomimetics (epinephrine [adrenalin], terbutaline) and steroids. Activated charcoal (1 g/kg) and a cathartic (sorbitol, magnesium citrate) may be useful for ingestion. Mydriatics, systemic analgesics and topical antibiotics (Sulamyd) may be used for corneal abrasions. There is no effective therapy for sensitised workers.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux; Medical Toxicology]
NOTE: Isocyanates cause airway restriction in naive individuals with the degree of response dependant on the concentration and duration of exposure.They induce smooth muscle contraction which leads to bronchoconstrictive episodes. Acute changes in lung function, such as decreased FEV1, may notrepresent sensitivity.[Karol & Jin, Frontiers in Molecular Toxicology, pp 56-61, 1992]Personnel who work with isocyanates, isocyanate prepolymers or polyisocyanates should have a pre-placement medical examination and periodicexaminations thereafter, including a pulmonary function test. Anyone with a medical history of chronic respiratory disease, asthmatic or bronchial attacks,indications of allergic responses, recurrent eczema or sensitisation conditions of the skin should not handle or work with isocyanates. Anyone whodevelops chronic respiratory distress when working with isocyanates should be removed from exposure and examined by a physician. Further exposuremust be avoided if a sensitivity to isocyanates or polyisocyanates has developed.
SECTION 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing mediaSmall quantities of water in contact with hot liquid may react violently with generation of a large volume of rapidly expanding hot sticky semi-solidfoam. Presents additional hazard when fire fighting in a confined space. Cooling with flooding quantities of water reduces this risk.

Water spray or fog may cause frothing and should be used in large quantities. Foam. Dry chemical powder. BCF (where regulations permit). Carbon dioxide.
Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture
Fire IncompatibilityAvoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition mayresult
Advice for firefighters
Fire Fighting
Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
Fire/Explosion Hazard
Combustible. Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. When heated to high temperatures decomposes rapidly generating vapour which pressures and may then rupture containerswith release of flammable and highly toxic isocyanate vapour. Burns with acrid black smoke and poisonous fumes.
Combustion products include:, carbon dioxide (CO2), isocyanates, and minor amounts of, hydrogen cyanide, nitrogen oxides
(NOx), other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material Contains low boiling substance: Closed containers mayrupture due to pressure buildup under fire conditions. May emit corrosive fumes. When heated at high temperatures manyisocyanates decompose rapidly generating a vapour which pressurises containers, possibly to the point of rupture. Releaseof toxic and/or flammable isocyanate vapours may then occur
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Minor Spills
Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment.
Major Spills
Liquid Isocyanates and high isocyanate vapour concentrations will penetrate seals on self contained breathing apparatus -SCBA should be used inside encapsulating suit where this exposure may occur.
For isocyanate spills of less than 40 litres (2 m2):Evacuate area from everybody not dealing with the emergency, keep them upwind and prevent further access, removeignition sources and, if inside building, ventilate area as well as possible. Notify supervision and others as necessary. Put on personal protective equipment (suitable respiratory protection, face and eye protection, protective suit, gloves andimpermeable boots). Control source of leakage (where applicable). Avoid contamination with water, alkalies and detergent solutions. Material reacts with water and generates gas, pressurises containers with even drum rupture resulting.
DO NOT reseal container if contamination is suspected. Open all containers with care.
Moderate hazard. Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the SDS.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Safe handling
Contains low boiling substance:Storage in sealed containers may result in pressure buildup causing violent rupture of containers not rated appropriately.
Check for bulging containers. Vent periodically Always release caps or seals slowly to ensure slow dissipation of vapours
DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skinAvoid all personal contact, including inhalation. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.

Other information
for commercial quantities of isocyanates:Isocyanates should be stored in adequately bunded areas. Nothing else should be kept within the same bunding.Pre-polymers need not be segregated. Drums of isocyanates should be stored under cover, out of direct sunlight, protectedfrom rain, protected from physical damage and well away from moisture, acids and alkalis.
Rotate all stock to prevent ageing. Use on FIFO (First In-First Out) basisStore in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed. No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Suitable containerMetal can or drum Packaging as recommended by manufacturer. Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
Storageincompatibility
Avoid cross contamination between the two liquid parts of product (kit). If two part products are mixed or allowed to mix in proportions other than manufacturer's recommendation, polymerisationwith gelation and evolution of heat (exotherm) may occur. This excess heat may generate toxic vapour Avoid reaction with water, alcohols and detergent solutions. Isocyanates and thioisocyanates are incompatible with many classes of compounds, reacting exothermically to releasetoxic gases. Reactions with amines, strong bases, aldehydes, alcohols, alkali metals, ketones, mercaptans, strongoxidisers, hydrides, phenols, and peroxides can cause vigorous releases of heat. Acids and bases initiate polymerisationreactions in these materials. A range of exothermic decomposition energies for isocyanates is given as 20-30 kJ/mol. The relationship between energy of decomposition and processing hazards has been the subject of discussion; it issuggested that values of energy released per unit of mass, rather than on a molar basis (J/g) be used in the assessment. For example, in "open vessel processes" (with man-hole size openings, in an industrial setting), substances with exothermicdecomposition energies below 500 J/g are unlikely to present a danger, whilst those in "closed vessel processes" (opening isa safety valve or bursting disk) present some danger where the decomposition energy exceeds 150 J/g.

Exposure controls
Appropriateengineering controls
All processes in which isocyanates are used should be enclosed wherever possible. Total enclosure, accompanied by good general ventilation, should be used to keep atmospheric concentrations below therelevant exposure standards. If total enclosure of the process is not feasible, local exhaust ventilation may be necessary. Local exhaust ventilation isessential where lower molecular weight isocyanates (such as TDI or HDI) is used or where isocyanate or polyurethane issprayed.
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designedengineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions toprovide this high level of protection.The basic types of engineering controls are:Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker andventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.Refer also to protective measures for the other component used with the product. Read both SDS before using; store andattach SDS together.
Personal protection
Eye and faceprotection
Safety glasses with side shields.Chemical goggles.Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policydocument, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task.
Skin protection See Hand protection below
Hands/feet protection
NOTE:The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves andother protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact. Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary frommanufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glovematerial can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and.has tobe observed when making a final choice.Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage.
Do NOT wear natural rubber (latex gloves). Isocyanate resistant materials include Teflon, Viton, nitrile rubber and some PVA gloves. Protective gloves and overalls should be worn as specified in the appropriate national standard. Contaminated garments should be removed promptly and should not be re-used until they have been decontaminated. NOTE: Natural rubber, neoprene, PVC can be affected by isocyanates
DO NOT use skin cream unless necessary and then use only minimum amount. Isocyanate vapour may be absorbed into skin cream and this increases hazard.
Body protection See Other protection below
Other protection
All employees working with isocyanates must be informed of the hazards from exposure to the contaminant and theprecautions necessary to prevent damage to their health. They should be made aware of the need to carry out their work sothat as little contamination as possible is produced, and of the importance of the proper use of all safeguards againstexposure to themselves and their fellow workers. Adequate training, both in the proper execution of the task and in the use ofall associated engineering controls, as well as of any personal protective equipment, is essential.Employees exposed to contamination hazards should be educated in the need for, and proper use of, facilities, clothing andequipment and thereby maintain a high standard of personal cleanliness.

warned to leave the contaminated area immediately on detecting any odours through the respirator. The odour may indicate that the mask is notfunctioning properly, that the vapour concentration is too high, or that the mask is not properly fitted. Because of these limitations, only restricted use ofcartridge respirators is considered appropriate.
In certain circumstances, personal protection of the individual employee is necessary. Personal protective devices should be regarded as beingsupplementary to substitution and engineering control and should not be used in preference to them as they do nothing to eliminate the hazard. However, in some situations, minimising exposure to isocyanates by enclosure and ventilation is not possible, and occupational exposure standardsmay be exceeded, particularly during on-site mixing of paints, spray-painting, foaming and maintenance of machine and ventilation systems. In thesesituations, air-line respirators or self-contained breathing apparatus complying with the appropriate nationals standard must be used. Organic vapour respirators with particulate pre- filters and powered, air-purifying respirators are NOT suitable. Personal protective equipment must be appropriately selected, individually fitted and workers trained in their correct use and maintenance. Personalprotective equipment must be regularly checked and maintained to ensure that the worker is being protected. Air- line respirators or self-contained breathing apparatus complying with the appropriate national standard should be used during the clean-up of spillsand the repair or clean-up of contaminated equipment and similar situations which cause emergency exposures to hazardous atmospheric concentrationsof isocyanate.

Information on toxicological effects
Inhaled
The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lungdamage.The vapour/mist may be highly irritating to the upper respiratory tract and lungs; the response may be severe enough toproduce bronchitis and pulmonary oedema. Possible neurological symptoms arising from isocyanate exposure includeheadache, insomnia, euphoria, ataxia, anxiety neurosis, depression and paranoia. Gastrointestinal disturbances arecharacterised by nausea and vomiting. Pulmonary sensitisation may produce asthmatic reactions ranging from minorbreathing difficulties to severe allergic attacks; this may occur following a single acute exposure or may develop withoutwarning for several hours after exposure.Animal testing shows that when inhaled, high doses of methylenebis(4-cyclohxylisocyanate) causes marked airway irritationwith tremors and convulsions, and severe fluid build-up and congestion in the lungs. Inhaling high concentrations of vapourcan cause chest tightness, shortness of breath, breathing difficulty, cough and dry throat, airway inflammation with anasthma-like wheeze and lung inflammation, and these symptoms can be delayed several hours. Airway sensitisation canoccur n both allergy-prone and non-allergy-prone people, with symptoms as described above. Sensitised individuals shouldnot work with or near this material.
Ingestion Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.
Skin Contact
This material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons.The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis conditionSkin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic effects may result following absorption.Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this materialEntry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmfuleffects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.A 5% solution of methylene bis(4-cyclohexylisocyanate) caused strong erythema and oedema of the skin of guinea pigs.Rabbits treated with 0.1 mg showed severe skin reactions. Skin sensitisation can develop after working with this material foronly a few days. Sensitised individuals may experience symptoms such as an itchy, red, scaly rash and swelling of armsand legs if material comes in contact with unprotected skin.
Eye This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
Chronic
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and relatedsystemic problems.Inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population.Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the generalpopulation.Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-termoccupational exposure.There has been concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations, but there is not enough data to make anassessment.
Persons with a history of asthma or other respiratory problems or are known to be sensitised, should not be engaged in anywork involving the handling of isocyanates. [CCTRADE-Bayer, APMF]Animal testing shows that polymeric MDI can damage the nasal cavities and lungs, causing inflammation.and increased cellgrowth.This product contains a polymer with a functional group considered to be of high concern. Isothiocyanates may causehypersensitivity of the skin and airways.Isocyanate vapours are irritating to the airways and can cause their inflammation, with wheezing, gasping, severe distress,even loss of consciousness and fluid in the lungs. Nervous system symptoms that may occur include headache, sleepdisturbance, euphoria, inco-ordination, anxiety, depression and paranoia.Sensitisation may give severe responses to very low levels of exposure, i.e. hypersensitivity.

The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness,swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.Data for Niax Polyol L-56 Data for Niax Polyol LG-168 * BASF Multranol 9175 SDS
METHYLENE BIS(4-CYCLOHEXYLISOCYANATE)
The following information refers to contact allergens as a group and may not be specific to this product. Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. Thepathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Otherallergic skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be dueto a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur followingexposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence ofpreceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms withinminutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presenceof moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocyticinflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the criteria for diagnosis of RADS.Allergic reactions involving the respiratory tract are usually due to interactions between IgE antibodies and allergens andoccur rapidly. Allergic potential of the allergen and period of exposure often determine the severity of symptoms. Somepeople may be genetically more prone than others, and exposure to other irritants may aggravate symptoms. Allergycausing activity is due to interactions with proteins.Attention should be paid to atopic diathesis, characterised by increased susceptibility to nasal inflammation, asthma andeczema.Exogenous allergic alveolitis is induced essentially by allergen specific immune-complexes of the IgG type; cell-mediatedreactions (T lymphocytes) may be involved. Such allergy is of the delayed type with onset up to four hours followingexposure.Isocyanate vapours are irritating to the airways and can cause their inflammation, with wheezing, gasping, severedistress, even loss of consciousness and fluid in the lungs. Nervous system symptoms that may occur includeheadache, sleep disturbance, euphoria, inco-ordination, anxiety, depression and paranoia.The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposureto irritants may produce conjunctivitis.Aromatic and aliphatic diisocyanates may cause airway toxicity and skin sensitization. Monomers and prepolymersexhibit similar respiratory effect. Of the several members of diisocyanates tested on experimental animals by inhalationand oral exposure, some caused cancer while others produced a harmless outcome.

The following information refers to contact allergens as a group and may not be specific to this product. Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. Thepathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Otherallergic skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases.

for polyisocyanates:Polyisocyanates are not readily biodegradable. However, due to other elimination mechanisms (hydrolysis, adsorption), long retention times in water arenot to be expected. The resulting polyurea is more or less inert and, due to its molecular size, not bioavailable. Within the limits of water solubility,polyisocyanates have a low to moderate toxicity for aquatic organisms.For Isocyanate Monomers:Environmental Fate: Isocyanates, (di- and polyfunctional isocyanates), are commonly used to make various polymers, such as polyurethanes.Polyurethanes find significant application in the manufacture of rigid and flexible foams. They are also used in the production of adhesives, elastomers,and coatings. Atmospheric Fate: These substances are not expected to be removed from the air via precipitation washout or dry deposition. for methylene bis(4-cyclohexylisocyanate):Fish toxicity:Acute (Brachydanio rerio) LC0: 0.69 mg/l/96h*Acute (Brachydanio rerio) LC50: 1.20 mg/l/96h*Acute (Brachydanio rerio) LC100: 2.76 mg/l96h*Bacterial toxicity:Acute EC50: 19mg/L*- The product reacts with water at the interface forming CO2 and a solid insoluble product with high melting point (polyurea).

Description of first aid measures
Eye Contact
If this product comes in contact with the eyes: Wash out immediately with fresh running water. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionallylifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
Skin Contact
If skin contact occurs:Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
Inhalation
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aidprocedures. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocketmask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Transport to hospital, or doctor.
Ingestion
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway andprevent aspiration. Observe the patient carefully. Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. Seek medical advice.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment neededTreat symptomatically.The material may induce methaemoglobinaemia following exposure.
Initial attention should be directed at oxygen delivery and assisted ventilation if necessary. Hyperbaric oxygen has not demonstrated substantialbenefits. Hypotension should respond to Trendelenburg's position and intravenous fluids; otherwise dopamine may be needed. Symptomatic patients with methaemoglobin levels over 30% should receive methylene blue. (Cyanosis, alone, is not an indication for treatment). Theusual dose is 1-2 mg/kg of a 1% solution (10 mg/ml) IV over 50 minutes; repeat, using the same dose, if symptoms of hypoxia fail to subside within 1hour. Thorough cleansing of the entire contaminated area of the body, including the scalp and nails, is of utmost importance.

material Contains low boiling substance: Closed containers may rupture due to pressure buildup under fire conditions.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Minor Spills
Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth, inert material or vermiculite.
Major Spills
Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Moderate hazard.
Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the SDS.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Safe handling
Contains low boiling substance:Storage in sealed containers may result in pressure buildup causing violent rupture of containers not rated appropriately.
Check for bulging containers. Vent periodically Always release caps or seals slowly to ensure slow dissipation of vapours
DO NOT USE brass or copper containers / stirrers
DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skinThe tendency of many ethers to form explosive peroxides is well documented. Ethers lacking non-methyl hydrogen atomsadjacent to the ether link are thought to be relatively safe
DO NOT concentrate by evaporation, or evaporate extracts to dryness, as residues may contain explosive peroxides withDETONATION potential. Any static discharge is also a source of hazard. Before any distillation process remove trace peroxides by shaking with excess 5% aqueous ferrous sulfate solution or bypercolation through a column of activated alumina.
The substance accumulates peroxides which may become hazardous only if it evaporates or is distilled or otherwise treatedto concentrate the peroxides. The substance may concentrate around the container opening for example.Purchases of peroxidisable chemicals should be restricted to ensure that the chemical is used completely before it canbecome peroxidised.
A responsible person should maintain an inventory of peroxidisable chemicals or annotate the general chemical inventory toindicate which chemicals are subject to peroxidation.Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.
Other information
Store in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Suitable container
DO NOT use aluminium, galvanised or tin-plated containersMetal can or drum Packaging as recommended by manufacturer. Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
Storageincompatibility
Many arylamines (aromatic amines such as aniline, N-ethylaniline, o-toluidine, xylidine etc. and their mixtures) arehypergolic (ignite spontaneously) with red fuming nitric acid. When the amines are dissolved in triethylamine, ignition occursat -60 deg. C. or less. Various metal oxides and their salts may promote ignition of amine-red fuming nitric acid systems.Glycol ethers may form peroxides under certain conditions; the potential for peroxide formation is enhanced when thesesubstances are used in processes such as distillation where they are concentrated or even evaporated to near-dryness ordryness; storage under a nitrogen atmosphere is recommended to minimise the possible formation of highly reactiveperoxides Nitrogen blanketing is recommended if transported in containers at temperatures within 15 deg C of the flash-point and at orabove the flash-point - large containers may first need to be purged and inerted with nitrogen prior to loading In the presence of strong bases or the salts of strong bases, at elevated temperatures, the potential exists for runawayreactions.

Contact with aluminium should be avoided; release of hydrogen gas may result- glycol ethers will corrode scratchedaluminium surfaces. May discolour in mild steel/ copper; lined containers, glass or stainless steel is preferred Glycols and their ethers undergo violent decomposition in contact with 70% perchloric acid. This seems likely to involveformation of the glycol perchlorate esters (after scission of ethers) which are explosive, those of ethylene glycol and3-chloro-1,2-propanediol being more powerful than glyceryl nitrate, and the former so sensitive that it explodes on additionof water .Avoid oxidising agents, acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, chloroformates.

Use in a well-ventilated areaGeneral exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions.Refer also to protective measures for the other component used with the product. Read both SDS before using; store andattach SDS together.
Personal protection
Eye and faceprotection
Safety glasses with side shields.Chemical goggles.Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policydocument, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task.
Skin protection See Hand protection below
Hands/feet protection
Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC. Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber
NOTE:The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves andother protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact. Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary frommanufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glovematerial can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and.has tobe observed when making a final choice.Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage.

Cartridge respirators should never be used for emergency ingress or in areas of unknown vapour concentrations or oxygen content. The wearer must bewarned to leave the contaminated area immediately on detecting any odours through the respirator. The odour may indicate that the mask is notfunctioning properly, that the vapour concentration is too high, or that the mask is not properly fitted. Because of these limitations, only restricted use ofcartridge respirators is considered appropriate.

Inhaled
Inhalation of aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be damaging tothe health of the individual.There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response tosuch irritation can cause further lung damage.Inhalation of epoxy resin amine hardeners (including polyamines and amine adducts) may produce bronchospasm andcoughing episodes lasting several days after cessation of the exposure. Even faint traces of these vapours may trigger anintense reaction in individuals showing "amine asthma".Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Ingestion
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram maybe fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.Ingestion of amine epoxy-curing agents (hardeners) may cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. Thevomitus may contain blood and mucous.The substance and/or its metabolites may bind to haemoglobin inhibiting normal uptake of oxygen. This condition, known as"methaemoglobinemia", is a form of oxygen starvation (anoxia). Symptoms include cyanosis (a bluish discolouration skin and mucous membranes) and breathing difficulties. Symptomsmay not be evident until several hours after exposure.
Skin Contact
Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may result following absorption.There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons.Amine epoxy-curing agents (hardeners) may produce primary skin irritation and sensitisation dermatitis in predisposedindividuals. Cutaneous reactions include erythema, intolerable itching and severe facial swelling.Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this materialEntry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmfuleffects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
Eye
There is evidence that material may produce eye irritation in some persons and produce eye damage 24 hours or more afterinstillation. Severe inflammation may be expected with pain.Vapours of volatile amines irritate the eyes, causing excessive secretion of tears, inflammation of the conjunctiva and slightswelling of the cornea, resulting in "halos" around lights. This effect is temporary, lasting only for a few hours. However thiscondition can reduce the efficiency of undertaking skilled tasks, such as driving a car. Direct eye contact with liquid volatileamines may produce eye damage, permanent for the lighter species.
Chronic
There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some personscompared to the general population.Harmful: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure if swallowed. This material can cause serious damage if one is exposed to it for long periods. It can be assumed that it contains asubstance which can produce severe defects.Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-termoccupational exposure.There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons comparedto the general population.Some glycol esters and their ethers cause wasting of the testicles, reproductive changes, infertility and changes to kidneyfunction. Shorter chain compounds are more dangerous.Most arylamines are very toxic to the blood cell-forming system, and they produce methaemoglobinaemia in humans. Highdoses congest the spleen and then cause formation of sarcomas (a type of malignant tumour).

The following information refers to contact allergens as a group and may not be specific to this product. Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke'soedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction ofthe delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immunereactions.The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated orprolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.p-Phenylenediamine is oxidised by the liver microsomal enzymes (S9). Pure p-phenylenediamine does notcause mutations, but after it is oxidized, it does.

Pure p-phenylenediamine does notcause mutations, but after it is oxidized, it does.
SOYBEAN OIL, EPOXIDISED
Epoxidised Oils and Derivatives (EOD) are epoxidised fatty acid esters, and are derived from naturally-occurring oils from long chain fatty acid sources. They are mostly the C18 acids: oleic, linoleic, and linolenicacid. Animal testing suggests that they were only slightly irritating to the eye and skin and were virtuallynon-toxic on swallowing, in the acute setting. However, chronic exposure caused increased mortality, damageto the kidney, liver and testes, and slight changes to the uterus.The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skinredness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin..

Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water whencleaning equipment or disposing of equipment wash-waters.Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste sites.For Glycol Ethers:Environmental Fate: Several glycol ethers have been shown to biodegrade however; biodegradation slows as molecular weight increases. No glycol ethersthat have been tested demonstrate marked resistance to biodegradative processes. No glycol ethers that have been tested demonstrate markedresistance to biodegradative processes.Atmospheric Fate: Upon release to the atmosphere by evaporation, high boiling glycol ethers are estimated to undergo photo-degradation (atmospherichalf lives = 2.4-2.5 hr).Phenylenediamines are not readily biodegradable via CO2 evolution, but they are susceptible to both hydrolysis and photodegradation. These materialshave been shown not to partition to water or air if released into the environment due to their low water solubility and low vapor pressure. It is unclear howphenylenediamines are eliminated from water bodies, but it is assumed that this is through processes such as oxidation reactions, adsorption, andstripping effects. It is assumed that any phenylenediamines released into the atmosphere are destroyed by photodegradation.For Arylamines (Aromatic Amines):Aquatic Fate - Arylamines, particularly aromatic amines, irreversibly bind with humic substances present in most natural waters. The estimated half-life ofaromatic amines in water is approximetly 100 days.Ecotoxicity: Anilines, benzidines and toluidines are of environmental concern. Anilines and benzidines are both acutely toxic and toxic depending on thespecific aquatic species (except algae).
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
