Section — 2 — Hazards

Identification: Emergency: Overview

Color: Clear/Pale Yellow Form: Liquid Odor: Negligible

May cause lung damage. May cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic
respiratory reaction. Harmful if inhaled. May cause allergic skin reaction. Closed container may
explode under extreme heat or when contaminated with water. Toxic gases/fumes are given off
during burning or thermal decomposition.

Potential Health Effects:

Route of Entry: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact.

Acute Inhalation: HDI vapors or mist at concentrations above the TLV or MGL can irritate the
mucous membranes in the nose, throat and lungs causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest
discomfort, shortness of breath and reduced lung function. Persons with pre-existing, nonspecific
bronchial hyper reactivity can respond to concentrations below the TLV or MGL with similar as
well as an asthma attack. Exposure well above TLV or MGL may experience bronchitis, bronchial
spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs). These effects are usually reversible. Flu-like
symptoms have also been reported.
Chronic Inhalation: Repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain individuals will develop
isocyanate sensitization which will cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanate at levels below
the TLV or MGL. These symptoms, which include chest tightness, wheezing, coughing, shortness
of breath or asthma attack, could be immediate or delayed up to several hours after exposure.
Sensitization may be either temporary or permanent.

Acute skin contact: Isocyanates react with the skin protein and moisture and can cause irritation.
Symptoms of skin irritation may be reddening, swelling, rash, scaling or blistering.

Chronic skin contact: Prolonged contact with the isocyanate can cause reddening, swelling, rash,
scaling or blistering.

Acute eye contact: Liquid, aerosols and vapors of this product are irritating and can cause pain,
tearing, reddening and swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation and or feeling like that of fine
dust in the eyes.

Chronic eye contact: May result in comel (clouding of eye surface).

Acute ingestion: Can result in irritation and possible corrosive action in the mouth, stomach
tissue and digestive tract.

Chronic ingestion: None found.

Carcinogenicity: NTP — not listed; TRAC — not listed; OSHA — not regulated.

Section — 3 — First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush with clean, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, while lifting up the eyelids.
Contact physician.

Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Wash
contaminated clothing thoroughly before reuse. If irritation persists, contact physician.

Inhalation: Move to an area free from risk of further exposure. Administer oxygen or artificial
respiration as needed. Contact physician.

Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Give 1 to 2 cups of milk or water to drink. Do not
give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Consult physician.
California Proposition 65: To the best of our knowledge, this product contains no levels of listed
substances, which the state of California has found to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive effects.

Section — 4 — Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point: Greater than 200F (93°C)

Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide and water spray for large fires. Full
emergency equipment with self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
should be worn by firefighters. During a fire, HDI vapors and other irritating, highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

Section — 5 — Accidental Release Measures

Spill or leak procedures. Evacuate nonessential personnel. Remove all sources of ignition
and ventilate the area. Notify appropriate authorities if necessary. Use vermiculite or other
absorbent material. Pour decontamination solution over spill area and allow to react for at least
10 minutes. Collect material in open containers and add further amount of decontamination
solution. Remove containers to a safe place, cover loosely and allow to stand for 24 — 48 hours.
Wash down spill area with decontamination solution. Decontamination solutions: nonionic
surfactant Union Carbide's Tergitol TMN-10(20%) and water (80%); concentrated ammonia
(3-8%), detergent (2%) and water (90 — 95%).

Section — 6 — Handling and Storage

Storage Temperature (mm/max): -30F (-34°C)/122F (50°C)

Shelf Life: 6 months at 77F (25°C) after receipt by customer
Special Sensitivity: If container is exposed to high heat it can be pressurized and possibly
rupture explosively. This material reacts slowly with water to form CO2 gas. This gas can cause
sealed containers to expand and rupture explosively.

Section — 7 — Personal Protection

Precautions must be taken so that persons handling this product do not allow contact with the eyes
or skin. In spray operations, protection must be afforded against exposure to both vapor and
spray mist.

Skin Protection Requirements: Permeation resistant gloves. Cover exposed skin area with
clothing.

Ventilation Requirements: Good industrial hygiene practice dictates that proper ventilation
and respiratory protection for workers is mandated. (See respiratory requirements.) Exhaust
air may need to be cleaned by scrubbers or filters to reduce environmental contamination.
Respirator Requirements: A respirator that is recommended or approved for use in isocyanate
containing environments (air purifying or fresh air supplied) may be necessary for spray
application or other situation such as high temperature use. A supplied air respirator (either
positive pressure or continuous flow type) is recommended. Observe OSHA regulations for
respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134).
Spray Applications: During spray applications, some form of respiratory protection should be
worn. During the spray application of organic solvent containing coatings systems, the use of
supplied air respirator is mandatory when ONE or MORE of the following conditions exists:
- the airborne isocyanate concentration are not known: or
- the airborne isocyanate monomer concentrations exceed 0.05 ppm (10 times the TLV): or
- the airborne polyisocyanate concentrations exceed 5 mgm3 averaged over 8 hours or 10
mg/m3 averaged over 15 minutes or no airborne solvent concentration exceeds its odor
threshold; or
- spraying is performed in a confined space (see OSHA confined space standard 29 CFR
1910.146).
A properly fitted air-purifying (combination organic vapor and particulate) respirator, proven
by test to be effective in isocyanate-containing spray paint environments, and used in
accordance with all recommendations made by the manufacturer, can be used when all the
following conditions are met:
- the airborne isocyanate monomer concentrations are known to be below 0.05 ppm; and
- the airborne polyisocyanate concentrations are known to be 5 mg/m3 averaged over 8
hours or 10 mg/m3 averaged over 15 minutes and at least one solvent has a published odor
threshold; and
- at least one airborne solvent concentration exceeds its odor threshold and that solvent's
odor threshold is lower than its TLV.
Under any other circumstances, during a spray application of a coating system not containing
organic solvents, good practice dictates that when isocyanate based coatings are sprayed or
applied at least an air purifying respirator should be worn.
Non-Spray Operations: During non-spray operations such as mixing, batch mixing, brush or
roller application etc. at elevated temperatures, it is possible to be exposed to airborne isocyanate
vapors. Therefore, when the coatings system contains solvents and will be applied in a non-
spray manner, a supplied air pressure or continuous flow type respirator is mandatory when
ONE or MORE of the following conditions exist:
- the airborne isocyanate concentration are not known; or
 - the airborne isocyanate monomer concentrations exceed 0.05 ppm (10 times the TLV);
or
- the airborne polyisocyanate concentrations exceed 5 mgm3 averaged over 8 hours or 10
mg/m3 averaged over 15 minutes or no airborne solvent concentration exceeds its odor
threshold; or
- spraying is performed in a confined space (see OSHA confined space standard 29 CFR
1910.146).
A properly fitted air-purifying (combination organic vapor and particulate) respirator, proven
by test to be effective in isocyanate-containing spray paint environments, and used in
accordance with all recommendations made by the manufacturer, can be used when all the
following conditions are met:
- the airborne isocyanate monomer concentrations are known to be below 0.05 ppm; and
- the airborne polyisocyanate concentrations are known to be 5 mg/m3 averaged over 8
hours or 10 mg/m3 averaged over 15 minutes and at least one solvent has a published odor
threshold; and
- at least one airborne solvent concentration exceeds its odor threshold and that solvent's
odor threshold is lower than its TLV.
During a non-spray operation using a solvent free mixture of GranitexTM Glaze a supplied air
respirator is mandatory when ONE or MORE of the following conditions exist:
- the airborne isocyanate concentration are not known; or
- the airborne isocyanate monomer concentrations exceed 0.05 ppm (10 times the TLV);
or
- the airborne polyisocyanate concentrations exceed 5 mgm3 averaged over 8 hours or 10
mg/m3 averaged over 15 minutes or no airborne solvent concentration exceeds its odor
threshold; or
- spraying is performed in a confined space (see OSHA confined space standard 29 CFR
1910.146).
