Hazards during fire-fighting:
nitrous gases, fumes/smoke, isocyanate, vapour
Advice for fire-fighters
Protective equipment for fire-fighting:
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear.
Further information:
Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire. Dispose of fire debris and
contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Clear area. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear suitable personal protective clothing and equipment.
Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For small amounts: Absorb isocyanate with suitable absorbent material (see § 40 CFR, sections 260,
264 and 265 for further information). 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.
Dike spillage.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling
Provide suitable exhaust ventilation at the processing machines. Ensure thorough ventilation of
stores and work areas. Avoid aerosol formation. When handling heated product, vapours of the
product should be ventilated, and respiratory protection used. Wear respiratory protection when
spraying. Danger of bursting when sealed gastight. Protect against moisture. If bulging of drum
occurs, transfer to well ventilated area, puncture to relieve pressure, open vent and let stand for 48
hours before resealing.
Protection against fire and explosion:
No explosion proofing necessary.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep away from water. Segregate from foods and animal feeds. Segregate from acids and bases.
Segregate from bases.
Suitable materials for containers: Carbon steel (Iron), High density polyethylene (HDPE), Low
density polyethylene (LDPE), Stainless steel 1.4301 (V2)
