| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Highly flammable. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting. | NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. | Dry powder. Foam. Carbon dioxide. NO water. |
| EXPLOSION | Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. | Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. | In case of fire: cool drums, etc., by spraying with water but avoid contact of the substance with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position. |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Cough. Sore throat. Laboured breathing. Burning sensation. | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer immediately for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. Pain. Skin burns. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Burns. | Safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Shock or collapse. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Evacuate danger area! Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. Personal protection: gas-tight chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. | UN classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1 UN Subsidiary Risks: 3 UN Pack Group: I GHS classification Signal: Danger Flame-Corr-Skull-Health haz Highly flammable liquid and vapour Fatal if inhaled (vapour) Harmful if swallowed Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air May cause allergic skin reaction Causes damage to lungs if inhaled |
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | SAFE STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)- 61S2485 or 61GTF1-I NFPA Code: H3; F3; R2; W |
Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants, food and feedstuffs. Cool. See Chemical Dangers. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID Physical dangers Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure Serious local effects by all routes of exposure. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point: 115°C Melting point: <-70°C Density: 0.9 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100 ml: (reaction) Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 2.1 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.4 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.05 Flash point: 11°C c.c Auto-ignition temperature: 425°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.3-10 |
This substance may be hazardous in the environment; special attention should be given to aquatic organisms. |
| NOTES | Some isocyanates are well known to cause respiratory sensitization. However, there are no reports of n-butyl isocyanate or other monoisocyanates causing respiratory sensitization. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. |
