Material Safety Data Sheet

Section 1 - Chemical Product and Company Identification

Tradename: CORBOND® Insulation

Chemical Formula: Finished cellular plastic foam product

CAS Number: Finished goods - no number

Manufacturer: Corbond Corporation, 32404 East Frontage Road, Bozeman, Montana 59715, (406) 586-4583, Fax (406) 586-4584. Chemtrec (800) 424-9300

Section 2 - Composition / Information on Ingredients

Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview
Potential Health Effects

Primary Routes of Exposure: Respiratory tract if product is torn, chipped or ground into chips or dust. Mechanical irritant.

Acute Effects:

Inhalation: Repeated excessive exposures to dust or small chips may cause upper respiratory irritation.

Eye: Mechanical irritation or corneal injury and reddening if dust or chips enter the eye.

Skin: Minor mechanical irritation.

Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP and OSHA do not list any components of Corbond Zero odp as a carcinogen.

Other: Small amounts of insulating blowing agent are released when cut. This product is not expected to present a health hazard under normal intended use.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air.

Eye Contact: Irrigate with water.

Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water.

Ingestion: No adverse effects anticipated by this route. May cause choking, if swallowed.

After first aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic, or community medical support.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point: Not established.

Auto Ignition Temperature: 850�XF - 1000�XF

LEL: N/A UEL: N/A

Extinguishing Media: Use water, foam,CO2 or dry chemical.

Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Polyurethane foams, in common with other organic materials such as paper, wood and cotton, can present unreasonable fire risks when exposed to ignition sources. Once ignited, fires can burn rapidly and produce intense heat and dense smoke. Install foam only after all welding cutting or other hot work has been completed.

Do not weld or perform other hot work on foam filled construction.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Like wood and other organic materials, product can release toxic smoke if ignited.

Fire Fighting Instructions: Water spray, CO2, Foam or Dry chemical.

Fire Fighting Equipment: Because fire may produce toxic thermal decomposition products, wear a self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full facepiece operated in pressure demand or positive pressure mode.

WARNING

CORBOND® Insulation contains flame retardants, however, it is not fireproof, it is not fire resistant, it is not self extinguishing in actual fire situations - it will burn. (See Section 13)

Section 6 - Personal Protection

Ventilation: Not necessary unless cutting, chipping or grinding product. If so, use sufficient ventilation to keep exposure to dust to minimum (below 5mg/m3 respirable nuisance dust)

Respiratory Protection: (Use only NIOSH approved devices.) Dust mask or organic vapor respirator with HEPA filter during cutting, chipping or grinding operations.

Eye Protection: Use goggles as necessary.

Protective Clothing: None necessary.

Comments: Never smoke in work areas.

Section 7 - Physical and Chemical Properties

Physical State: Solid Water Solubility: N/A

Appearance and Odor: Pigmented Light Boiling Point: N/A

Lavender color. No odor. Freezing/Melting Point: Not established

Vapor Pressure: N/A % Volatile: Nil

Density: 1.6 to 2.1 lb/cubic ft. Evaporation Rate: N/A

Specific Gravity: Not established.

Section 8 - Stability and Reactivity

Stability: Stable.

Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Chemical Incompatibilities: None known.

Conditions to Avoid: Fire, hot work, welding.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen Halides, Phosphorous Oxides, Possible traces of Hydrogen Cyanide and Nitrogen Oxides under fire conditions.

Section 9 - Toxicological Information

Eye Effects: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action.

Skin Effects: Contact essentially non-irritating to skin. Mechanical irritation only as dust or chips.

Acute Inhalation Effects: Dust or small chips may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract. Small amounts of insulating blowing agent are released from the material when cut.

Acute Oral Effects: Not established.

Chronic Effects: Not established.

Carcinogenicity: Not a carcinogen.

Section 10 - Ecological Information

Environmental Transport: Solid waste.

Environmental Degradation: Photo degradable.

Soil Absorption/Mobility: None.

Section 11 - Disposal Considerations

Disposal: Remove solid waste to landfill.

Section 12 - Regulatory Information

EPA Regulations: SARA Toxic Chemical (40 CFR 372.65);None

Section 13 - Other Information

FTC Warning: Polyurethane foam produced from these materials may present a fire hazard if exposed to fire or excessive heat (i.e. cutting torches). The use of polyurethane foam in interior applications on walls or ceilings presents an unreasonable fire risk unless protected by an approved fire resistant thermal barrier with a finish rating of not less than 15 minutes. A code definition of an approved "thermal barrier" is a material equal in fire resistance to ?" gypsum board. Each firm, person, or corporation engaged in the use, manufacture, production or application of the polyurethane foams produced from these resins should carefully examine his end use to determine any potential fire hazard associated with such product in a specific use and to utilize appropriate precautionary and safety measures. Consultation with building code officials before application is recommended.
