3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Tan, solid pellets. Slight odor. May cause eye irritation. May
cause sensitization by skin contact. Molten polymer will burn skin on contact. No adverse
inhalation effects are known or expected at ambient temperatures. At elevated temperatures
(e.g., melt processing temperature or combustion temperature) product may emit irritating
and potentially toxic fumes and vapors.
EU Classification (1999/45/EC): Xi - Irritant R43
US OSHA Classification (29CFR1910.1200): Skin Sensitizer
Canadian WHMIS Classification: Class D-2-B
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin contact: Wash off with soap and water. Obtain medical attention if irritation
persists. If contact with molten polymer occurs, cool rapidly under running water. Do not
attempt to remove material adhering to the skin. Obtain immediate medical attention.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flashpoint: 752ºF (400ºC)
Autoignition temperature: >765ºF (407ºC)
Flammable Limits in Air % by Volume:
LEL (Lower): Not applicable
UEL (Upper): Not applicable
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water, water fog, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and
protective suit. Water may be used to keep exposed containers cool.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product will burn under fire conditions. Large
masses of product held at elevated temperatures for prolonged periods may autoignite.
This product may build up electrostatic charge on pouring or transferring. The spark
produced may ignite flammable gases or vapors. Avoid pouring into combustible or
flammable solvents.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Combustion may produce oxides of carbon,
nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, isocyanates, and small amounts of hydrogen cyanide.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Carefully sweep up and place in a container for reuse or disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Avoid sparks, flame and excessive heat. Minimize the generation and accumulation of dust.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Chemical Name
Polyurethane Resin
2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-p-cresol
Exposure limit(s)
None established
1 mg/m3(manufacturer recommended)
Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation recommended at points of emission to reduce
exposure to fumes and vapors during processing.
Respiratory Protection: If the exposure limit is exceeded or for symptoms of
overexposure, wear an appropriate NIOSH (or local authority) certified respirator.
