SECTION 12.ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity
Not available. The product has not been tested.
Presistence and degrability
The product has not been tested.
Depending on the kind of wood
Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are unlikely.
Long term degradation products may arise due to formaldehyde.
Bioaccumulation potential
Not available. The product has not been tested.
Mobility in soil
Not available. The product has not been tested.
Results of PBT and vPvB
assessment
Not available. The product has not been tested.
Other adverse effects
PMDI
PMDI represent low to very low environmental hazard. A pond study showed gross
contamination caused no significant toxic effects on a wide variety of flora and in all
trophic levels (including fish), no detectable diaminodiphenylmethane (MDA) and no
evidence of bioaccumulation of MDI or MDA. (see Heimbach F. et al. 1996)
