Safety in the use of the equipment:
• It is advisable for personnel with a history of respiratory complaints to avoid exposure to all
isocyanates.
• Chemical products must be handled safely in accordance with manufacturer's
recommendations. The manufacturer should provide information on the toxicity of the
products used as well as actions to take in the event of accident (wounds, irritation, etc.).
• Products such as polyisocianates, organic solvents and diamines should be stored in a place
exclusively for and adapted to such a purpose, with restricted access. Maximum
temperatures must be strictly adhered to, both in the application and in storage of chemical
products, at all times following the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Also, chemical products are to be stored at all times in suitable containers, following the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Containers must not be opened until immediately before being used in order to avoid
contamination by damp. Any leftover product after being applied should be put back into the
original container and be stored in a dry, ventilated place.
• During cleaning tasks of spilt components, it will be essential to use eye protection, gloves
and wearing breathing apparatus. Spilt isocyanate can be collected with any absorbent inert
product, such as sawdust. In any case, it is important to avoid skin contact. The absorbent
product is to be immediately collected and dumped into an open container through the
upper part.
• Throughout the entire operation explained above, the area must be correctly ventilated.
