MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> Product Name: Base Seal® (Component `A', Isocyanate) <br /> MSDS-AOO4 <br /> affected zone until fire is out. Immediately withdraw all personnel from <br /> area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration <br /> of the container. Move container from fire area if this is possible <br /> without hazard. <br /> Protective Equipment for Wear positive-pressure Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus, "SCBA" <br /> Fire Fighters: and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, <br /> pants, boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire <br /> fighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant <br /> clothing with SCBA. This will not provide sufficient fire protection; <br /> consider fighting fire from a remote location. For protective equipment <br /> in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to the relevant <br /> sections. <br /> Products of Combustion: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide and HCN. <br /> Protective Clothing (Fire): Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Self-Contained Breathing <br /> Apparatus, "SCBA", should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. <br /> Special Remarks on Fire Reacts slowly with water to produce carbon dioxide which may rupture <br /> Hazards: closed containers. This reaction accelerates at higher temperatures. <br /> Section 6: Accidental Release Measures <br /> SEE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 8. Exposure controls, personal protection <br /> Small Spill and Leak: Clean-up should only be performed by trained personnel. People <br /> dealing with major spillages should wear full protective clothing <br /> including appropriate respiratory protection. Evacuate the area. <br /> Prevent further leakage, spillage or entry into drains. <br /> Large Spill and Leak: Contain and absorb large spillages onto an inert, non-flammable <br /> adsorbent carrier(such as earth or sand). Shovel into open-top drums <br /> or plastic bags for further decontamination, if necessary. Wash the <br /> spillage area clean with liquid decontaminant. Test atmosphere for <br /> MDI. Neutralize small spillages with decontaminant. Remove and <br /> properly dispose of residues. (See Section 13 for disposal <br /> considerations). Notify applicable government authorities if release is <br /> reportable. The CERCLA RQ for 4,4-MDI is 5,000 lbs. (see CERCLA <br /> in Section 15). <br /> Decontaminant: Preparation of Decontamination Solution: Prepare a decontamination <br /> solution of 0.2—0.5% liquid detergent and 3-8%concentrated <br /> ammonium hydroxide in water (5-10% sodium bicarbonate may be <br /> substituted for the ammonium hydroxide). Follow the precautions on <br /> the supplier's material safety data sheets when preparing and using <br /> solution. Use of Decontamination Solution: Allow deactivated material <br /> to stand for at least 30 minutes before shoveling into drums. Do not <br /> tighten the bungs. Mixing with wet earth is also effective, but slower. <br /> Section 7: Handling and Storage <br /> Handling: Avoid contact with the product or reaction mixture. Use only with <br /> adequate ventilation to ensure that the occupational exposure limit is <br /> not exceeded. The efficiency of the ventilation system must be <br /> Page 3 of 9 (A) <br />
