=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:COC
Flash Point:425F,218C
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE, HALOGENATED
    AGENTS. IF WATER USED, USE VERY LARGE QUANTITIES.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & FULL
    PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT . REACTION BETWEEN WATER & HOT ISOCYANATE MAY
    BE VIGOROUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WATER CONTAMINATION WILL PRODUCE CARBON
    DIOXIDE. DO NOT RESEAL CONTAMINATED CONTAINERS AS PRESSURE BUILDUP
    MAY RUPTURE THEM.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROT DURING CLEANUP. SOAK UP MATL
    W/ABSORB & SHOVEL INTO CHEM WASTE CNTNR. COVER CNTNR BUT DO NOT
    SEAL & REMOVE FROM WORK AREA. PREPARE DECONTAM SOLN OF 0.2-0.5% LIQ

    PROTECT FROM ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE. STORE IN COOL AREA. PVNT SKIN &
    EYE CNTCT. AVOID BRTHG VAPS/AEROSOLS.
Other Precautions:OBSERVE TLV LIMITATIONS. SENSITIZED INDIVIDUAL SHOULD
    NOT BE EXPOSED TO PROD WHICH CAUSED SENSIT. INDIVIDUALS W/EXISTING
    RESP DISEASE SUCH AS CHRONIC BRONCH, EMPHYSEMA/ASTHMA SHOULD NOT BE
    EXPOSED TO	ISOCYANATES. THESE INDIVIDUALS (ING 14)
