VORALUX™ HL 500 Polyol

Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; consult a physician.

Wash off with plenty of water. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be immediately available.

Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be available in work area.

If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.

Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.

Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.

Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.

Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage.

Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area.

Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater.

Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Wash the spill site with water.

Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed. This material is hygroscopic in nature. See Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION.

Protect from atmospheric moisture. Store in a dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and air.

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition temperatures possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion.

Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur. Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Use gloves with insulation for thermal protection (EN 407), when needed. If hands are cut or scratched, use gloves chemically resistant to this material even for brief exposures. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Natural rubber ("latex"). Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Neoprene. When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. The thickness of the glove must, depending on model and type of material, generally be more than 0.35 mm to offer sufficient protection for prolonged and frequent contact with the substance.

Use safety glasses (with side shields). Safety glasses (with side shields) should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent. When handling hot material: Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent. Wear a face-shield which allows use of chemical goggles, or wear a full-face respirator (meeting standard EN 136), to protect face and eyes when there is any likelihood of splashes.

Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if material is heated or sprayed, use an approved air-purifying respirator. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter, type AP2 (meeting standard EN 14387).

Wear clean, body-covering clothing. When handling hot material, protect skin from thermal burns. Selection of specific items will depend on the operation.

See SECTION 7: Handling and storage and SECTION 13: Disposal considerations for measures to prevent excessive environmental exposure during use and waste disposal.

Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.

Will not occur by itself.

Product can oxidize at elevated temperatures. Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems.

Avoid contact with oxidizing materials. Avoid contact with: Strong acids. Strong bases. Avoid unintended contact with isocyanates. The reaction of polyols and isocyanates generates heat.

Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials.. Decomposition products can include and are not limited to.: Carbon dioxide.. Alcohols.. Ethers.. Hydrocarbons.. Ketones.. Polymer fragments..

Any disposal practice must be in compliance with all local and national laws and regulations.
