| Other Information |
When activated by water, the resin crosslinks to give
a rigid material releasing carbon dioxide in small amounts. A small
exothermic (heat releasing) reaction is evident when the recommended water
temperatures are used.

| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES |
|
| Inhalation |
Remove source of contamination or victim to fresh air.
Ensure airways are clear and have qualified person give oxygen through a
facemask if breathing is difficult. If irritation develops and persists,
seek immediate medical attention.
|
| Ingestion |
DO NOT induce vomiting. Immediately wash mouth out
with water and then give water to drink. If symptom develops or persists,
seek immediate medical attention.
|
| Skin |
Wash gently and thoroughly with water and non-abrasive
soap. Contaminated clothing and footwear should be removed as soon as
practical and thoroughly cleaned before reuse. If irritation persists or
develops, seek medical attention. |
| Eye |
Wash with large amount of water for 15 minutes holding
eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into
non-affected eye. If irritation persists or develops, seek immediate
medical attention.
|
| First Aid Facilities |
Eye wash and normal washroom
facilities.
|
| Advice to Doctor |
Treat symptomatically. |
|
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES |
|
Suitable
Extinguishing Media |
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam. Only use water
fog to keep undamaged containers cool. |
| Specific Methods |
Self-contained breathing apparatus (S.C.B.A) and full
protective clothing should be worn. |

| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|
| Emergency Procedures |
Increase ventilation. Evacuate all unnecessary
personnel. Wear protective clothing to minimise skin and eye exposure. If
possible contain the spill. Place inert absorbent material onto spillage.
Mop up material and place into the same container. If the spillage enters
the waterways contact the Environmental Protection Authority, or your
local Waste Management Authority. |
|
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|
Precautions for
Safe Handling |
Repeated or prolonged contact with this material
should be avoided in order to lessen the possibility of skin disorders. It
is essential that all who come into contact with this material, maintain
high standards of personal hygiene i.e. washing hands prior to eating,
drinking, smoking or going to the toilet. Build-up of vapour or mist in
the working atmosphere must be prevented. Ensure ventilation is adequate.
DO NOT enter confined spaces where vapour or mist may have collected. Keep
containers closed when not in use. |
Conditions for Safe
Storage |
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of
direct sunlight. Avoid extreme heat. Avoid contact with incompatible
materials. Keep well closed when not in use. |
|
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL
PROTECTION |
|
National Exposure
Standards |
No exposure standards have been established for this
material by the National Occupational Health And Safety Commission
(NOHSC). However, over-exposure to any chemical may result in enhancement
of pre-existing adverse medical conditions and/or allergic reactions.
NOHSC Standard of the constituent is listed below:
SUBSTANCE TWA STEL
NOTICES
ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3
Isocyanates, all (as -NCO) - 0.02 - 0.07
Sen
As published by the New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health
Service (OSH):
TWA - the Time-Weighted Average airborne concentration
over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week over an entire
working life.
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne
concentration over a 15 minute period which should not be exceeded at any
time during a normal eight-hour workday.
According to current knowledge
these concentrations should neither impair the health of, nor cause undue
discomfort to, nearly all workers.
'Sen' notice - sensitiser. The
substance can cause a specific immune response in some people. An affected
individual may subsequently react to exposure to minute levels of that
substance.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the
control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric contamination
should be kept to as low a level as is workable. Exposure Standards should
not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous
concentrations of chemicals, they are not a measure of relative
toxicity.
|
Biological Limit
Values |
No biological limit allocated.
|
| Engineering Controls |
Use only in a well ventilated area. Where vapours or
dust are generated and exposure standards are exceeded, the use of
respiratory protection, or a local exhaust ventilation system is
recommended.
|
Respiratory
Protection |
If engineering controls are not effective in
controlling airborne exposure then respiratory protective equipment should
be used suitable for protecting against airborne contaminants, organic
vapour respirator or supplied air respirator. Final choice of appropriate
breathing protection is dependant upon actual airborne concentrations and
the type of breathing protection required will vary according to
individual circumstances. Expert advice may be required to make this
decision. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715,
Selection, Use and maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and
AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices. |
| Eye Protection |
Safety glasses with side shields, goggles or full-face
shield as appropriate recommended. Final choice of appropriate eye/face
protection will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of
handling or engineering controls and according to risk assessments
undertaken. Eye protection should conform with Australian/New Zealand
Standard AS/NZS 1337 - Eye Protectors for Industrial
Applications. |
| Hand Protection |
Wear gloves of impervious material, PVC or nitrile
rubber. Final choice of appropriate gloves will vary according to
individual circumstances i.e. methods of handling or according to risk
assessments undertaken. Reference should be made to AS/NZS 2161.1:
Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and
maintenance. |
| Body Protection |
Wear appropriate clothing including chemical resistant
apron where clothing is likely to be contaminated. It is advisable that a
local supplier of personal protective clothing is consulted regarding the
choice of material. |

| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION |
|
Toxicology
Information |
Acute toxicity:
LD50 ORAL (rat): > 2000
mg/kg
|
| Inhalation |
May cause sensitisation by inhalation. Will cause
irritation to the mucous membrane and upper airways, especially if the
material is heated or dust are generated. Inhalation of high concentration
may lead to headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of co-ordination.
|
| Ingestion |
May cause irritation of the gastrointestinal system.
Symptoms may include pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. |
| Skin |
Will cause irritation in contact with the skin, which
can result in redness, stinging, itching and possible
dermatitis.
SENSITISATION: May cause redness, itching and irritation.
This product may cause sensitisation in some individuals. Some substances
such as MDI can cause a specific immune response in some people. Such
substances are called sensitisers and the development of a specific immune
response is termed 'sensitisation'.
Exposure to a sensitiser, once
sensitisation has occured, may manifest itself as a skin rash or
inflammation or as an asthmatic condition, and in some individuals this
reaction can be extremely severe. |
| Eye |
Will cause eye irritation resulting in redness,
swelling and stinging. |
| Chronic Effects |
Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to
sensitisation of the respiratory system and skin. |
