4. FIRST AID MEASURES


Description of first aid measures
General advice: First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the
recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for
exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth
use rescuer protection (pocket mask, etc). If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.

Skin contact: Remove material from skin immediately by washing with soap and plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes while washing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Wash clothing before reuse. An MDI skin decontamination study demonstrated that cleaning very
soon after exposure is important, and that a polyglycol-based skin cleanser or corn oil may be more
effective than soap and water. Discard items which cannot be decontaminated, including leather
articles such as shoes, belts and watchbands. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be
available in work area.

Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5
minutes, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention without delay,
preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately
available.

Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found
under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and
special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in
Section 11: Toxicology Information.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed


Notes to physician: Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. May cause
respiratory sensitization or asthma-like symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants and antitussives

Page 2 of 12
Product name: VORACOR™ CD 526 Isocyanate Issue Date: 05/30/2016

may be of help. Treat bronchospasm with inhaled beta2 agonist and oral or parenteral corticosteroids.
Respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema, may be delayed. Persons receiving significant
exposure should be observed 24-48 hours for signs of respiratory distress. If you are sensitized to
diisocyanates, consult your physician regarding working with other respiratory irritants or sensitizers.
Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the
patient. Excessive exposure may aggravate preexisting asthma and other respiratory disorders (e.g.
emphysema, bronchitis, reactive airways dysfunction syndrome).

5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon
dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose
synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture


Hazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition
to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion
products may include and are not limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Isocyanates. Hydrogen cyanide.
Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product reacts with water. Reaction may produce heat and/or
gases. This reaction may be violent. Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.
Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.
Dense smoke is produced when product burns.

Advice for firefighters


Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Stay
upwind. Keep out of low areas where gases (fumes) can accumulate. Water is not recommended, but
may be applied in large quantities as a fine spray when other extinguishing agents are not available.
Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance.
Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel
from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container.
Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed
containers and fire-affected zone until fire is out. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-
off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage. Review the "Accidental Release Measures"
and the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS.

Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing


apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers,
boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely,
change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is
not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight
fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer
to the relevant sections.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Isolate area. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Keep personnel out of low areas.

Page 3 of 12
Product name: VORACOR™ CD 526 Isocyanate Issue Date: 05/30/2016

Keep upwind of spill. Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard. Ventilate area of leak or spill. If
available, use foam to smother or suppress. Refer to section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary
measures. See Section 10 for more specific information. Use appropriate safety equipment. For
additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.

Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible.
Absorb with materials such as: Dirt. Vermiculite. Sand. Clay. Do NOT use absorbent materials such
as: Cement powder (Note: may generate heat). Collect in suitable and properly labeled open
containers. Do not place in sealed containers. Suitable containers include: Metal drums. Plastic
drums. Polylined fiber pacs. Wash the spill site with large quantities of water. Attempt to neutralize
by adding suitable decontaminant solution: Formulation 1: sodium carbonate 5 - 10%; liquid detergent
0.2 - 2%; water to make up to 100%, OR Formulation 2: concentrated ammonia solution 3 - 8%; liquid
detergent 0.2 - 2%; water to make up to 100%. If ammonia is used, use good ventilation to prevent
vapor exposure. Contact your supplier for clean-up assistance. See Section 13, Disposal
Considerations, for additional information.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Precautions for safe handling: Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Keep container closed. See Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL
PROTECTION.

Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition
temperatures possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion.

Conditions for safe storage: Store in a dry place. Protect from atmospheric moisture. Do not store
product contaminated with water to prevent potential hazardous reaction. See Section 10 for more
specific information. Additional storage and handling information on this product may be obtained by

Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be
necessary for some operations. Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne
levels below the exposure guidelines. Exhaust systems should be designed to move the air away
from the source of vapor/aerosol generation and people working at this point. The odor and irritancy
of this material are inadequate to warn of excessive exposure.

Individual protection measures


Eye/face protection: Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN
166 or equivalent.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374:
Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred
glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Polyethylene. Chlorinated polyethylene.
Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials
include: Neoprene. Viton. Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Nitrile/butadiene
rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur,
a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240
minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected,
a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60
minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. Glove thickness alone is not a good
indicator of the level of protection a glove provides against a chemical substance as
this level of protection is also highly dependent on the specific composition of the
material that the glove is fabricated from. The thickness of the glove must, depending
on model and type of material, generally be more than 0.35 mm to offer sufficient
protection for prolonged and frequent contact with the substance. As an exception to
this general rule it is known that multilayer laminate gloves may offer prolonged
protection at thicknesses less than 0.35 mm. Other glove materials with a thickness of
less than 0.35 mm may offer sufficient protection when only brief contact is expected.
NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of
use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such
as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements
(cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to
glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove
supplier.
Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will
depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure
guideline. When atmospheric levels may exceed the exposure guideline, use an approved air-
purifying respirator equipped with an organic vapor sorbent and a particle filter. For situations
where the atmospheric levels may exceed the level for which an air-purifying respirator is
effective, use a positive-pressure air-supplying respirator (air line or self-contained breathing
apparatus). For emergency response or for situations where the atmospheric level is
unknown, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-
pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air supply.
Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge with a
particulate pre-filter, type AP2.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY


Reactivity: Diisocyanates react with many materials and the rate of reaction increases with
temperature as well as increased contact; these reactions can become violent. Contact is increased
by stirring or if the other material mixes with the diisocyanate. Diisocyanates are not soluble in water
and sink to the bottom, but react slowly at the interface. The reaction forms carbon dioxide gas and a
layer of solid polyurea. Reaction with water will generate carbon dioxide and heat.

Chemical stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.

Page 6 of 12
Product name: VORACOR™ CD 526 Isocyanate Issue Date: 05/30/2016

Possibility of hazardous reactions: Can occur. Exposure to elevated temperatures can cause
product to decompose and generate gas. This can cause pressure build-up and/or rupturing of closed
containers. Polymerization can be catalyzed by: Strong bases. Water.

Conditions to avoid: Exposure to elevated temperatures can cause product to decompose.


Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems. Pressure build-up
can be rapid. Avoid moisture. Material reacts slowly with water, releasing carbon dioxide which can
cause pressure buildup and rupture of closed containers. Elevated temperatures accelerate this
reaction.

Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with: Acids. Alcohols. Amines. Water. Ammonia. Bases.
Metal compounds. Moist air. Strong oxidizers. Diisocyanates react with many materials and the rate
of reaction increases with temperature as well as increased contact; these reactions can become
violent. Contact is increased by stirring or if the other material mixes with the diisocyanate.
Diisocyanates are not soluble in water and sink to the bottom, but react slowly at the interface. The
reaction forms carbon dioxide gas and a layer of solid polyurea. Reaction with water will generate
carbon dioxide and heat. Avoid contact with metals such as: Aluminum. Zinc. Brass. Tin. Copper.
Galvanized metals. Avoid contact with absorbent materials such as: Moist organic absorbents. Avoid
unintended contact with polyols. The reaction of polyols and isocyanates generate heat.

Hazardous decomposition products: Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply
and the presence of other materials. Gases are released during decomposition.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Toxicological information appears in this section when such data is available.

Acute toxicity
Acute oral toxicity
Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal
handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may
cause injury. Observations in animals include: Gastrointestinal irritation.

As product: Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined.


LD50, Rat, > 2,000 mg/kg Estimated.

Acute dermal toxicity


Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.

As product: The dermal LD50 has not been determined.


LD50, Rabbit, > 2,000 mg/kg Estimated.

Acute inhalation toxicity


At room temperature, vapors are minimal due to low volatility. However, certain operations
may generate vapor or mist concentrations sufficient to cause respiratory irritation and other
adverse effects. Such operations include those in which the material is heated, sprayed or
otherwise mechanically dispersed such as drumming, venting or pumping. Excessive
exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. May
cause pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs.) Effects may be delayed. Decreased lung
function has been associated with overexposure to isocyanates.
As product: The LC50 has not been determined.

Product name: VORACOR™ CD 526 Isocyanate Issue Date: 05/30/2016

Skin corrosion/irritation
Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation with local redness.
May stain skin.

Serious eye damage/eye irritation


May cause moderate eye irritation.
May cause slight temporary corneal injury.

Sensitization
A component in this mixture has been shown to be a skin sensitizer.
Animal studies have shown that skin contact with isocyanates may play a role in respiratory
sensitization.

A component in this mixture may cause an allergic respiratory response.


MDI concentrations below the exposure guidelines may cause allergic respiratory reactions in
individuals already sensitized.
Asthma-like symptoms may include coughing, difficult breathing and a feeling of tightness in the chest.
Occasionally, breathing difficulties may be life threatening.

Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Single Exposure)


Contains component(s) which are classified as specific target organ toxicant, single exposure,
category 3.

Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Repeated Exposure)


Tissue injury in the upper respiratory tract and lungs has been observed in laboratory animals after
repeated excessive exposures to MDI/polymeric MDI aerosols.

Carcinogenicity
Lung tumors have been observed in laboratory animals exposed to respirable aerosol droplets of
MDI/Polymeric MDI (6 mg/m3) for their lifetime. Tumors occurred concurrently with respiratory
irritation and lung injury. Current exposure guidelines are expected to protect against these effects
reported for MDI.

Teratogenicity
In laboratory animals, MDI/polymeric MDI did not cause birth defects; other fetal effects occurred only
at high doses which were toxic to the mother.

Reproductive toxicity
No specific, relevant data available for assessment.

Mutagenicity
Genetic toxicity data on MDI are inconclusive. MDI was weakly positive in some in vitro studies; other
in vitro studies were negative. Animal mutagenicity studies were predominantly negative.
