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.
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. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area.
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 immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. May cause respiratory sensitization or
asthma-like symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants and antitussives 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.
Exposure may increase “myocardial irritability”. Do not administer sympathomimetic drugs such as
epinephrine unless absolutely necessary. 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. Fire Fighting 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.
Extinguishing Media to Avoid: 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. Hydrogen halides. Halogenated hydrocarbons.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Some components of this product will burn in a fire situation.
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. Blowing agent vaporizes quickly at room
temperature. 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
