CARADOL SC48-03

No treatment necessary under normal conditions of use. If symptoms persist, obtain medical advice.

Symptoms: Not considered to be an inhalation hazard under normal conditions of use. Possible respiratory irritation signs and symptoms may include a temporary burning sensation of the nose and throat, coughing, and/or difficulty breathing.

Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if available. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.

Symptoms: Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, or swelling.

Flush eye with copious quantities of water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.

Symptoms: Eye irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blurred vision.

In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities are swallowed, however, get medical advice.

Symptoms: Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhoea.

Alcohol-resistant foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.

Do not use water in a jet.

Will only burn if enveloped in a pre-existing fire.

Standard procedure for chemical fires. Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel. All storage areas should be provided with adequate fire fighting facilities. Keep adjacent containers cool by spraying with water.

Observe all relevant local and international regulations. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhaling vapour and/or mists. Extinguish any naked flames. Do not smoke. Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks.

For small liquid spills (< 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means to a labeled, sealable container for product recovery or safe disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.

For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or safe disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.

Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly.

Materials: appropriate absorbent material

Avoid breathing of or direct contact with material. Only use in well ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after handling. For guidance on selection of personal protective equipment see Section 8 of this Safety Data Sheet. Use the information in this data sheet as input to a risk assessment of local circumstances to help determine appropriate controls for safe handling, storage and disposal of this material. Ensure that all local regulations regarding handling and storage facilities are followed. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material. Avoid unintentional contact with isocyanates to prevent uncontrolled polymerisation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Air-dry contaminated clothing in a well-ventilated area before laundering. Do not empty into drains. When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn and proper handling equipment should be used.

Refer to section 15 for any additional specific legislation covering the packaging and storage of this product. Prevent all contact with water and with moist atmosphere. Tanks must be clean, dry and rust-free. Prevent ingress of water. Must be stored in a diked (bunded) well- ventilated area, away from sunlight, ignition sources and other sources of heat. Nitrogen blanket recommended for large tanks (capacity 100 m3 or higher). Drums should be stacked to a maximum of 3 high. Storage should be handled at temperatures such that viscosities are less than 500 cSt; typically at 25-50 °C. Tanks should be fitted with heating coils in areas where the ambient temperatures are below the recommended product handling temperatures. Heating coil skin temperatures should not exceed 100 °C.

Wash thoroughly after handling. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material. Air-dry contaminated clothing in a well-ventilated area before laundering.

Extinguish any naked flames. Do not smoke. Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks. Must be stored away from sunlight, ignition sources and other sources of heat.

Where material is heated, sprayed or mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne concentrations to be generated. Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations.

Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374, US: F739) made from the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection. Longer term protection: Nitrile rubber. Incidental contact/Splash protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves For continuous contact we recommend gloves with breakthrough time of more than 240 minutes with preference for >480 minutes where suitable gloves can be identified. For short-term/splash protection we recommend the same but recognize that suitable gloves offering this level of protection may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough time maybe acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance and replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not a good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Glove thickness should be typically greater than 0.35 mm depending on the glove make and model. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.

If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes, protective eyewear is recommended.

No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material.

Skin protection is not ordinarily required beyond standard work clothes. It is good practice to wear chemical resistant gloves.

Local guidelines on emission limits for volatile substances must be observed for the discharge of exhaust air containing vapour. Minimise release to the environment. An environmental assessment must be made to ensure compliance with local environmental legislation. Information on accidental release measures are to be found in section 6.

No hazardous reaction is expected when handled and stored according to provisions Hygroscopic.

The product does not pose any further reactivity hazards in addition to those listed in the following sub-paragraph.

Polymerises exothermically with di-isocyanates at ambient temperatures. The reaction becomes progressively more vigorous and can be violent at higher temperatures if the miscibility of reaction partners is good or is supported by stirring or by by the presence of solvents. Reacts with strong oxidising agents.

Heat, flames, and sparks. Product cannot ignite due to static electricity.

Avoid contact with isocyanates, copper and copper alloys, zinc, strong oxidizing agents, and water.

Unknown toxic products may be formed.
