SECTION 6)ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Emergency Procedure Evacuate and isolate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel away.Stay uphill and/or upstream.Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Recommended Equipment Wear liquid tight chemical protective clothing in combination with positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA).Breathing protection is required. Personal Precautions DO NOT breathe vapor or mist. DO NOT get on skin,eyes or clothing. Environmental Precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers,storm drains,other unauthorized drainage systems and natural waterways by using sand,earth,or other appropriate barriers. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up For small amounts:Absorb isocyanate with suitable absorbent material.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. SECTION 7) HANDLING AND STORAGE General Wash hands after use. Do not get in eyes,on skin or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors or mists. Use good personal hygiene practices. Eating,drinking and smoking in work areas is prohibited. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. All containers must be properly labelled. Eyewash stations and showers should be available in areas where this material is used and stored Ventilation Requirements Use only with adequate ventilation to control air contaminants to their exposure limits. Report ventilation failures immediately. Storage Room Requirements Store in cool,dry,well-ventilated areas away from heat,direct sunlight and strong oxidizers.Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.Suitable materials for containers:Carbon steel(Iron), High density polyethylene(HDPE),Low density polyethylene(LDPE),Stainless steel 1.4301 (V2).Formation of CO2 and build-up of pressure possible.Outage of containers should be filled with dry inert gas at atmospheric pressure to avoid reaction with moisture.Empty containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Storage temperature:60-80°F.Protect against moisture. SECTION 8) EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Eye Protection Wear indirect-vent, impact and splash resistant goggles when working with liquids. If additional protection is needed for entire face,use in combination with a face shield. Skin Protection Use of gloves approved to relevant standards made from the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves.Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage,e.g.frequency and duration of contact, KG 3607 ISOCYANATE www.ultimatelinings.com Page 4 of 10
