SECTION 2: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
This material is classified as hazardous under OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200)
Physical State and Appearance: Pale Yellow Liquid
Emergency Overview:
INHALATION OF MDI MISTS OR VAPORS MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, BREATHLESSNESS, CHEST
DISCOUMFORT AND REDUCED PULMONARY FUNCTION. OVEREXPOSURE WELL ABOVE THE PEL MAY
RESULT IN BRONCHITIS, BRONCHIAL SPASMS AND PULMONARY EDEMA. LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO
ISOCYANATES HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE, INCLUDING REDUCED LUNG FUNCTION
WHICH MAY BE PERMANENT. ACUTE OR CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE TO ISOCYANATES MAY CAUSE
SENSATION IN SOME INDIVIDUALS, RESULTING IN ALLERGIC RESPRATORY REACTIONS INCLUDING
WHEEZING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND DIFFICULTY BREATHING.
Skin: HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT (IRRITANT, SENSITIZER). SKIN INFLAMMATION IS
IS CHARACTERIZED BY ITCHING, SCALING OR REDDENING.
Eyes: HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT (IRRITANT).
Inhalation: HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF INHALATION (LUNG IRRITANT, LUNG SENSITIZER).
Ingestion: SLIGHTLY HAZARDOUS IN CASE OF INGESTION.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: Preexisting conditions such as asthma, allergies, eczema,
bronchitis, and other lung and skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure to the product. Results from a lifetime
inhalation study in rats indicate that MDI aerosol was carcinogenic at 9 mg/m*, the highest dose tested. This is well above
the recommended TLV of 5ppb (0.05 mg/m*). Only irritation was noted at the lower concentration of 0.2 and 1 mg/m3. No
birth defects or teratogenic effects were reported in a teratology study with rats exposed to 1, 4, and 12 mg/m3 polymeric
MDI for 6 hr/day on days 6-15 of gestation. Embryotoxicity and fetotoxicity was reported at the top dose in the presence of
maternal toxicity. As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain individuals will develop
isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma), which will cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanate at levels well
below the PEL/TVL. Those symptoms, which include chest tightness, wheezing, cough, shortness of breath, or asthmatic
attack, could be immediate of delayed up to several hours after exposure. Similar to many non-specific asthmatic
responses, there are reports that once sensitized an individual can experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust,
cold air or other irritants. This increased lung sensitivity can persist for weeks and in severe cases for several years.
Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has also been reported to cause lung damage, including a decrease in lung
function, which may be permanent. Sensitization may e either temporary of permanent. Prolonged contact can cause
reddening, swelling, rash, scaling, or blistering, in those who have developed a skin sensitization, these symptoms can
develop as a result of contact with very small amount s of liquid material, or even as a result of vapor-only exposure.
