II. Summary of Hazards
Physical Hazards:
Acute Health Effects (Short-Term): CAN BE A MECHANICAL IRRITANT TO SKIN, EYES, & UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DURING FABRICATION
Chronic Health Effects (Long-Term): STUDIES SHOW NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT INCREASED RISK OF RESPIRATORY DISEASES
III. Fire and Explosion
Flash Point (Method): UNKNOWN
Auto-ignition Temperature: Greater than 450 degrees Centigrade, per ASTM D1929
Flammable Limits (% Vol. in Air)
At Normal Atmospheric Temperature and Pressure: Lower: N/A Upper: N/A
Fire and Explosion Hazards: POLYISOCYANURATE FOAM WILL BURN IF EXPOSED TO FLAME OF SUFFICIENT HEAT AND INTENSITY. LIKE OTHER ORGANIC MATERIALS, CAN RELEASE TOXIC SMOKE IF IGNITED.
Extinguishing Media: DRY CHEMICAL, CO2, WATER SPRAY, WATER FOG, FOAM, WATER
Special Firefighting Procedures: SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS, dense smoke is emitted when polyisocyanurate foam is burned in an oxygen starved environment.
Unusual Fire Hazards: Cutting, grinding and sawing can cause the formation of dust. To reduce the potential of dust explosions, do not permit dust to accumulate, provide adequate ventilation and practice good housekeeping procedures.
The compaction of polyisocyanurate foam for disposal can entrap pentane in pockets of the compressed foam or at the bottom of the compactor. Appropriate engineering of the compactor is recommended to keep pentane levels below the LFL levels and to remove potential ignition sources caused from metal to metal contact in the compactor.
IV. Health Hazards
Summary of Acute Hazards: SLIGHT. SEE BELOW ROUTE OF EXPOSURE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Inhalation: Dust may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). NO SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS INDICATIVE OF ANY ADVERSE HEALTH ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF INHALATION EXPOSURE.
Eye Contact: MAY CAUSE MINOR EYE IRRITATION FROM DUST ORIGINATING FROM FABRICATION.
Skin Absorption: NO SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS INDICATIVE OF ANY ADVERSE HEALTH HAZARD ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF SKIN ABSORPTION.
Skin Irritation: MAY PRODUCE SLIGHT SKIN IRRITATION.
Ingestion: NO SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS INDICATIVE OF ANY ADVERSE HEALTH HAZARD ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF INGESTION. PRODUCT IS NOT FOR CONSUMPTION.
Summary Chronic Hazards and Special Health Effects: THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THIS PRODUCT HAVE NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS IN LONGTERM STUDIES.
NO ADDITIONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION FOUND.
V. Protective Equipment and Other Control Measures
Respiratory: USE NIOSH/OSHA APPROVED PARTICULATE FILTER MASK DURING FABRICATION.
Eye: WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES.
Skin: NOT NORMALLY CONSIDERED A SKIN HAZARD. PRACTICE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE.
Engineering Controls: EXERCISE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROCEDURES. REMOVE DUST DURING FABRICATION BY VACUUM.
Other Hygienic and Work Practices: PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHEN FABRICATING. REMOVE DUST PROMPTLY.
