Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Clear area. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear suitable personal protective clothing and

equipment.

Environmental precautions

Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface

waters/ groundwater.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

For small amounts: Absorb isocyanate with suitable absorbent material (see § 40 CFR,

sections 260, 264 and 265 for further information). Shovel into open container. Do not

make container pressure tight. Move container to a well-ventilated area (outside). Spill

area can be decontaminated with the following recommended decontamination solution:

Mixture of 90 % water, 8 % concentrated ammonia, 2 % detergent. Add at a 10 to 1

ratio. Allow to stand for at least 48 hours to allow escape of evolved carbon dioxide.

For large amounts: If temporary control of isocyanate vapor is required, a blanket of

protein foam or other suitable foam (available from most fire departments) may be

placed over the spill. Transfer as much liquid as possible via pump or vacuum device

into closed but not sealed containers for disposal.

For residues: The following measures should be taken for final cleanup: Wash down

spill area with decontamination solution. Allow solution to stand for at least 10 minutes.

Dike spillage.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

Provide suitable exhaust ventilation at the processing machines. Ensure thorough

ventilation of stores and work areas. Avoid aerosol formation. When handling heated

product, vapours of the product should be ventilated, and respiratory protection used.

Wear respiratory protection when spraying. Danger of bursting when sealed gastight.
