Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Trace amounts of residual blowing agent may be present in the foam. Mechanical and thermal processes may produce dust and flammable vapors, which may be potential explosion hazards. Fire-Fighting Instructions: Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective clothing as recommended by NFPA 1500.. Hazardous Combustion Products: Primary combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and complex hydrocarbon compounds. * * * Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures * * * Containment Procedures: This material will settle out of the air. If concentrated on land, it can then be scooped up for disposal as a nonhazardous waste. This material will float and disperse along the water. It cannot easily be removed after it is waterborne; however, the material is non-hazardous in water. Clean-Up Procedures: Scoop up material or vacuum material and put into suitable containers for disposal as a non-hazardous waste. Special Procedures: ne. * * * Section 7 - Handling and Storage * * * Handling Procedures: When fabricating material provide adequate ventilation to avoid the build up of the hydrocarbon gas. Storage Procedures: Do not store or expose product to temperatures above 160 O F (-71 O C). Do not store near heating equipment. Store in well ventilated area Exposure Guidelines: Follow all applicable exposure limits. * * * Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection * * * Component Exposure Limits ACGIH and OSHA exposure limit lists have been checked for those components with CAS registry numbers. Ingredient CAS Number OSHA (PEL) ACGIH (TLV) Hydrocarbon Gas 74-98-6 1000 ppm TWA - final 1000 ppm TWA Hydrocarbon Gas 75-28-5 none 1000 ppm TWA Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation if necessary to maintain hydrocarbon gas levels below the PEL and LEL. For guidance on engineering controls refer to ACGIH publication industrial Ventilation Page 3 of 7 Issue Date: 8/22/2005 rth America - English
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Respiratory Protection: A properly fitted NIOSH approved disposable dust respirator or equivalent should be used when dust is generated. When exposures to hydrocarbons exceed allowed limits wear an air purifying respirator with an appropriate cartridge. Skin Protection: rmal work clothing (long sleeved shirt, long pants, and gloves) is recommended. Eyes/Face Protective Equipment: Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles. * * * Section 9 - Physical & Chemical Properties * * * Appearance: Pink Foam Sheets Odor: ne Physical State: Solid ph: t applicable Vapor Pressure (mm Hg @ t applicable Bulk Density: 20-200 kg/m 3 20 C): Boiling Point: t applicable Solubility (H2O): Insoluble Specific Gravity Melting Point: 230 O F (110 O C) (Water=1): t applicable Evaporation Rate (n-butyl Acetate=1): t applicable Viscosity: Solid Physical Properties: Additional Information additional information available.
