4. First - Aid Measures

Inhalation:

Move to fresh air, rest at half upright position, loosen clothing. Artificial respiration in case of difficulty in breathing. Seek medical advice after significant exposure.

Skin:

Wash with plenty of soap and water immediately. Take all contaminated clothes off immediately. Seek medical advice if irritation develops.

Eyes:

Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Always seek medical advice.

Ingestion:

DO NOT induce vomiting because of risk of aspiration. Seek medical advice.

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguishing measures

- Suitable:

Powder, carbon dioxide, foam, halon.

In cases of large fires, water spray should be used.

- Not to be used:

High pressure water jet.

6. Accidential Release Measures

Personal precautions:

Put on adequate protective equipment. Do not breathe vapour. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environment precautions:

Keep away from drains, surface-water, ground-water and soil.

Cleaning procedure:

Remove mechanically; cover reminders with wet, absorbent material (e.g. sawdust, chemical binder based on calcium silicate hydrate, sand). After approx. one hour transfer to waste container and do not seal ( evolution of CO₂!).

Cover the remainder with inert absorbent. Dispose according to local regulations.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling:

Handle with care.

Keep away from food, drink and heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. -No smoking. Do not breathe vapour. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Storage:

Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid exposure to temperatures above 50°C.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

10. Stability and Reactivity

Conditions to avoid:

Static discharges, hot sources, ignition soueces.

Materials to avoid:

Avoid accidental contact with water, alcohols, amines and strongly alkaline substances because they react with the product..

Hazardous decomposition products:

No hazardous decomposition products when stored and handled correctly.

11. Toxicological Information

- Inhalation:

Low vapour concentrations cause irritation of the respiratory tract, causing. coughing and slight difficulty with breathing. Higher concentrations produce more severe irritation, and may be accompanied by nausea, fatigue, weakness, euphoria, drowsiness, double vision, ataxia and coma.

Asthma and chronic bronchitis suffers should refrain from handling the product.

- Skin:

May produce mild reddening of the skin. Prolonged contact may produce drying and fissuring due to defatting action.  

- Eyes:

Vapour is mildly irritating. Liguid produces chemical conjunctivitis     

With mild transient corneal injury.

- Ingestion:

Slightly toxic. Ingestion of moderate quantities may cause abdominal  discomfort, nausea and drowsiness. In high concentrations it is narcotic.

12. Ecological Information

BODY 729 LV 420 HARDENER is almost insoluble in water and will float on the surface. It could cause a fire or explosion if a large spill drained into a sewer system and would be highly toxic to fish if discharged to natural waters. Avoid discharging to sewers or waterways! Do not allow to escape into water, wastewater or soil.

The resin reacts with water at the interface forming CO₂ and a solid insoluble product with a high melting point (polyurea). This reaction is accelerated by surfactants or by watersoluble solvents miscible with water.

13. Disposal Considerations

Methods of disposal:

Controlled incineration.

Danger(s):

Emptied vase contain solvent vapours and resin rests, hazardous with respect to  fire, explosion and noxiousness. They shall be disposed of only if the residual product adhering to the walls an isopropanol-ammonia-water mixture and after having eliminated the identification labels.

The above mentioned manufacturer's information on the handling of isocyanates is contained in the Safety Data Shhet for the product.

The European Commitee of Paint, Printing Ink and Artists' Colouros Manufacturers' Associations (CEPE) provides the following information on coatings containing isocyanates.

Ready-to-use paints containing isocyanates may have an irritant effect on mucous membrans - especially on breathing prgans- and cause hypersensitivity reactions. Inhalation of vapour or spray mist may cause sensitisation. When handling paints containing isocyanates all precautions required for solvent-containing paints must be followed. Vapour and spray mist in particular should not be inhaled. Allergics and asthmatics as well as people prone to respiratory ailments should not work with isocyanate containing paints.
