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.
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.
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.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel.
Notes to Physician: 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. This material is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Treat
symptomatically. Atropine, only by injection, is the preferable antidote. Oximes, such as 2-
PAM/protopam, may be therapeutic if used early; however, use only in conjunction with atropine. If
exposed, plasma and red blood cell cholinesterase tests may indicate significance of exposure
(baseline data are useful). In case of severe acute poisoning, use antidote immediately after
establishing an open airway and respiration. Attempt seizure control with diazepam 5-10 mg (adults)
intravenous over 2-3 minutes. Repeat every 5-10 minutes as needed. Monitor for hypotension,
respiratory depression, and need for intubation. Consider second agent if seizures persist after 30 mg.
If seizures persist or recur administer phenobarbital 600-1200 mg (adults) intravenous diluted in 60 ml
0.9% saline given at 25-50 mg/minute. Evaluate for hypoxia, dysrhythmia, electrolyte disturbance,
hypoglycemia (treat adults with dextrose 100 mg intravenous). Treatment of exposure should be
directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Excessive exposure may aggravate preexisting
asthma and other respiratory disorders (e.g. emphysema, bronchitis, reactive airways dysfunction
syndrome).
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire
extinguishers. Foam. Do not use direct water stream. Straight or direct water streams may not be
effective to extinguish fire. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose
synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.
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 may not be effective in
extinguishing fire. 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. Eliminate ignition
sources. 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.
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.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Contains flammable propellant. Aerosol cans exposed to fire
can rupture and become flaming projectiles. Propellant release may result in a fireball. Vapors are
