Octadecyl isocyanate

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation

If breathing is difficult, move affected person to the open air. Keep him or her at rest to allow easier breathing.

If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a doctor.

Skin Contact

Wash with water and soap.

When skin stimulation occurs, seek medical treatment and advice.

Eye Contact

Wash eyes carefully for several minutes with water. Take off contact lenses if easily removed, and continue to wash eyes afterwards.

Get medical treatment and advice.

Ingestion

Immediately call a doctor.

If swallowed, rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. If the sufferer is unconscious, do not take anything and make it vomit.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing Media

Plenty of water, carbon dioxide, dry chemicals, and soil AFFF-alcohol-resistance medium-sized foaming extinguishing agent

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media

Jet water

Specific Hazards

Irritant, corrosive and/or toxic gas may be generated by a fire.

Container may explode when heated.

May generate irritating and/or toxic gas in a fire.

Explosive polymerization may occur if involved in a fire.

The container may explode with heat or by mixing with water.

Specific Fire Fighting

Remove containers from the fire area if not dangerous.

After a fire extinguished, cool down containers with plenty of water.

Carry out fire-fighting at the safe and effective distance from the fire, or use a unattended hose-holding unit, or a nozzle with a monitor.

In large fire, use a unattended hose-holding unit, or a nozzle provided with a monitor, for extinguishing. If unavailable, evacuate from the fire place, and let it burn.

Use an appropriate extinguishing agent applicable to the type of fire.

Do not put water into a container.

In case of fire in the surrounding area, remove containers instantly to safe place, if movable. But never move the containers exposed to heat.

Protection of Fire Fighter

In fire-extinguishing activity, wear an appropriate air breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for chemicals

Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures

Isolate the site as a leak area by providing a zone that has an appropriate width to all directions.

Prohibit unauthorized entry into the area.

Always stay upwind of the spill.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and avoid inhalation or contact with eyes and skin.

Leave from the low ground.

If not wearing appropriate personal protective clothing, do not touch the damaged container and leakage.

Ventilate the closed area.

Environmental Precautions

Do not release into the environment.

Pay attention not to cause the influence on the environment by discharging into rivers.

This product is water pollutant. Prevent soil contamination, or the product from flowing into the drain systems.

Decontamination Methods and Equipment for Containment and Cleaning up

All devices to handle spills must be grounded.

If not dangerous, stop the leak.

Small amount: Prevent the material from wetting by rain. Cover with dry soil, dry sand, or non-combustibles and store under a plastic sheet cover to avoid scattering and wetting.

Solidify substances and scrape off.

Spray water to repress vaporizing: Do not spray water directly in an area of spills or into a container.

Cleansing the contaminated area thoroughly with water after removal.

In case of small quantity, absorb the leakage with dry soil, sand, and incombustible-material or collect it into a container that can be covered tightly for later disposal.

In case of small quantity, collect the leakage with clean and anti-static tools into a loosely covered plastic container and dispose of it, later.

Absorb or cover with dry soil, sand, or incombustible materials. Then collect them into a container.

Collect the material into a disposal container by sucking up or sweeping up.

Absorb spills with inert materials (such as dry sand or soil) and collect them into chemical-waste disposal container.

Prevention Measures for Secondary Accidents

Removes all ignition sources promptly. (Prohibition of smoking, sparks, and flames in the surrounding area)

Do not put water into a container.

Prevent dispersion by covering with plastic sheets.

Remove thoroughly since the smooth and slippery surface will be formed on the floor.

Handling and storage

Handling

Technical Measures

Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Storage Precautionary Statements

Technical Measures

The storage facility should be provided with necessary lighting, lighting equipment, and ventilator to store and handle dangerous goods.

The roof of a storage facility should be made of a non-combustible material and use metals or other lightweight non-combustible materials. No ceiling should be installed. The storage floor should be protected from water penetration, or should have water-proof construction.

The storage floor should have penetration-proof construction against dangerous goods and be inclined adequately. A proper sump should be provided to catch any spills.

Storage Conditions

Store locked up.

Store away from oxidants.

Store in a well-ventilated and cool place keeping container tightly closed.

Material Used in Packaging/Containers

Iron drums with epoxy inner coatings.

Use containers prescribed in the "Fire Service Law (Japan)" and the "UN Transport Regulations."

Keep only in the original container.
