(Non-Hazardous Proprietary Blend) Section
Product is a liquid urethane prepolymer mixture that is packaged under pressure (Non- Flammable Compressed Gas)
Containers should not be heated above 50°C (122°F) to avoid excessive pressure build- up.
SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Physical Hazards
Since the containers are pressurized, storage temperature should not exceed 50°C (122°F) in order to avoid
excessive pressure build-up and possible container rupture. Also, the product has strong adhesive-like
characteristics and will adhere aggressively to skin and other surfaces. If accidental contact occurs, follow the
appropriate first-aid procedure described in Section IV of this MSDS.
Potential Health Effects
The primary adverse health effects of this product are related to the Polymeric Isocyanate (MDI) component,
and, to a lesser degree, the Fluorocarbon (Non- Flammable Gas) component. Therefore, adequate
ventilation should be provided to avoid exceeding the exposure limits of these components. The likelihood of
exceeding these limits are low due to the low concentration of vapor produced during normal use. However,
if used indoors, mechanical ventilation or exhaust should be provided during use and until product is cured.
Entry Route: Effects of Overexposure
Inhalation: May irritate mucous membranes with tightness in chest, coughing, or allergic asthma-like sensitivity.
Extensive overexposure can lead to respiratory symptoms like bronchitis and pulmonary edema. These effects
are usually reversible. Overexposure to Fluorocarbon may cause lightheadedness, headaches, or lethargy.
Persons with cardiac arrhythmia may be at increased risk in severe exposure.
Eyes: May be irritating to eyes. Foam contact can cause physical damage due to adhesive character.
Skin: May cause localized irritation, reddening or swelling. Prolonged or repeated exposure
may lead to sensitization and/or contact dermatitis.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of mucous membranes in the mouth and digestive tract.

SECTION IV - FIRST AID
Inhalation: If breathing difficulty is experienced, move to area free of exposure. Provide fresh air. If necessary, provide
oxygen or artificial respiration by trained personnel and obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact: Flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes and obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact: Use a rag to remove excess foam from skin and remove contaminated clothing. Use of a solvent, such as
acetone (nail polish remover) or mineral spirits, may help in removing uncured foam residue from clothing or
other surfaces (avoid eye contact). Cured foam may be physically removed by persistent washing with soap
and water. If irritation develops, use mild skin cream. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention.
Ingestion: Drink 1 to 3 glasses of water and seek immediate medical attention. Never give anything orally to an
unconscious person.
SECTION V - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
High temperatures will raise the pressure in the containers, which may lead to rupturing. Extinguishing media
include: dry chemical, carbon dioxide, chemical foam, or water spray if used in large quantities (water
contamination will produce carbon dioxide). Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against toxic
decomposition by-products, including CO, CO2, NO, and traces of HCN. Cured foam is organic and, therefore,
will burn in the presence of sufficient heat, oxygen and an ignition source. Main hazards associated with burning
foam are similar to burning of other organic materials (wood, paper, cotton, etc.) and precautions against
exposure should be taken accordingly. Avoid welding or other “hot work” in the vicinity of exposed cured foam.
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Read all product instructions before using. Personal protective equipment should include impervious gloves,
protective eyewear, and suitable work clothes. Uncured product is very sticky, so carefully remove the bulk of
the foam by scraping it up and then immediately remove residue with a rag and solvent such as polyurethane
cleaner, mineral spirits, acetone (nail polish remover), paint thinner, etc. Once the product has cured, it can only
be removed physically by scraping, buffing, etc.
SECTION VII - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose as plastic waste (foam plastic) in accordance with all applicable guidelines and regulations. Before
disposing of containers, relieve container of any remaining foam and pressure. Allow product to fully cure
before disposing. Never discard in a liquid state.
SECTION VIII - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place. Ideal storage temperature is +18°C to 25°C (64.4°F to 77°F). Storage above 40°C
(104°F) will shorten the shelf life. Storage below 10°C (50°F) may affect foam quality if chemicals are not
warmed before using. Protect containers from physical abuse. Protect unused product from freezing.

SECTION IX - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Read all product instructions before using. Personal protective equipment should include (impervious gloves,
protective eye wear and suitable work clothes). Adequate ventilation should also be employed so that vapor
levels do not exceed recommended guidelines. If vapor levels are expected to exceed these guidelines, use
NIOSH approved, positive pressure, supplied air respirator or a negative pressure half mask with organic
vapor cartridges and dust/mist pre-filters. Exercise good personal hygiene, wash thoroughly after each use.

SECTION X - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Physical Appearance: Viscous liquid which foams upon release from container as an off- white to yellowish froth.
(Note; Appearance may differ with the introduction of a dye or colorant).
Odor: Slight fluorocarbon odor during curing stage
Specific Gravity: Approximately 1.2 (H2O = 1)
Boiling Point: Fluorocarbon (Non-Flammable Compressed Gas, HCFC) boils at -18°C (-0.4°F). Other components boil at
temperatures greater than 100°C (33.8°F).
Flash Point: Product flash point has been tested at approximately 426°C (798.8°F).
Vapor Pressure: Contents under pressure have vapor pressure greater than 50 psig / 345 kPa. After release from
container, vapor pressure is very low (not determined).
Solubility in Water: Insoluble reacts slowly with water during cure; liberating traces of CO2.
Explosion Data: Contents are not known to be sensitive to mechanical impact or static discharge.
SECTION XI - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
This product is considered stable under normal and anticipated storage and handling conditions. Do not
store above 49°C (120°F). For longest shelf life, avoid storage above 30°C (86°F). Avoid alcohols, strong bases
or amines and metal compounds (such as small particle metal catalysts).
