This data sheet covers both the 2,4-isomer and the 2,6-isomer of toluene diisocyanate (TDI), used in the manufacture of polyurethane foam. Coverage: properties; occupational exposure limits (0.02mg/m3 for 8h TWA, 0.07mg/m3 for 10min TWA); fire hazards (even low vapour concentrations of combustion products can be lethal); extinguishant (preferably dry powder or carbon dioxide); toxicity and biological hazards (acute effects: skin and respiratory irritation, poisoning if ingested; chronic effects: respiratory sensitisation; carcinogenesis by the 2,4-isomer); handling and storage; medical surveillance; safety precautions; leakage and spills; first aid. |
