Storage areas should be protected by a sprinkler system meeting insurance, NFPA and/or
local codes. These products are considered stable under ordinary conditions of use and
storage and hazardous polymerization is not known to occur. Elevated storage
temperatures, oxidizing agents, heat, flames, ignition sources, fluorine and
fluorine/oxygen mixtures, burning cigarettes, space heaters, naked lights, exposed wiring
or other ignition sources should be avoided. Good house keeping practices should be
practiced to prevent the accumulation foam scrap and the generation and accumulation of
dust in the workplace or in/on equipment.
Flash point, flammable limits (LEL UEL), and auto-ignition temperature have not
been established for these products. Flash point and flammable limits are normally
associated with liquids or fine airborne particulate materials. These parameters
have not been established for polyurethane foam products but are expected to be
significantly greater than normal use conditions.
As with any organic material, dust particles derived from these products and
suspended in the air may pose an explosive hazard. Urethane foam products are
combustible and will burn once ignited, consuming oxygen and producing toxic
gases (primarily oxides of carbon and nitrogen) and smoke. Burning foam may melt
into pools or droplets of burning liquid. Foam may smolder and reignite.
Should these products be involved in a fire, water, foam, dry chemical, or carbon
dioxide fire fighting agents may be used. Fire fighters must wear NIOSH approved
full-faced positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and bunker gear
when fighting fires.
Treat these products as combustible solids the same as one would paper, paper
products, and organic fibers.
These products are potentially recyclable. Pick-up or sweep-up large pieces of products for
recycling or disposal. Sweep or vacuum dusts for disposal avoiding generating static
discharges. Larger pieces of these products are recyclable. Products not collected for
recycling are to be disposed of according to local, state and federal regulations.
