MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Product: LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 Revision 12/1/13 Prepared by Chemical Lab GENERAL INFORMATION General Plastics Manufacturing Company 4910 Burlington way P.O. Box 9097 Tacoma, WA 98409 Product Information: LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 is a closed-cell rigid polyurethane foam. All substances used to manufacture LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 is listed on the TSCA inventory. *Last two digits indicate density in pounds/cubic foot PHYSICAL CHEMICAL DATA HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS None FORM Cellular Solid WATER SOLUBILITY Not soluble SPECIFIC GRAVITY 0.05 to 0.60 VAPOR PRESSURE Not applicable FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA FLASH POINT None. Tests similar to Cleveland open cup indicate ignition temperature is >600°F. LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 forms a solid char when exposed to flame and will essentially retain its shape until it is extinguished. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water or foam spray. SPECIAL PROCEDURES During a fire: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and other polymer fragments that may be highly toxic and/or irritating may be present. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear should be used. Polyurethane foam dust, like most dusts, can present an explosion risk. However, a dust collection system necessary for a suitable work environment is more than adequate to eliminate this risk. General Plastics Manufacturing Company has used a dust collection system and over many years of experience in cutting, planing, shaping, routing and sanding LAST-A-FOAM® polyurethane foam has never experienced any fire or explosion hazards. Page 2 of 3 REACTIVITY DATA INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS None, this product is stable and chemically inert HEALTH HAZARDS INGESTION Urethane foams are generally considered not toxic; however, all ingestion is to be avoided. EYE CONTACT See comments about dust below SKIN CONTACT See comments about dust below INHALATION LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 foams are chemically inert. This foam has been developed to minimize dust generated in machining operations. Minor amounts of foam dust may generated in many operations and a dust collection system is normally used for a suitable work environment. Studies published by Upjohn in the Technical Bulletin No. 107 show no sensitization on skin contact with rigid polyurethane foam dust, and the many years of experience in cutting, planing shaping, routing, and sanding rigid polyurethane foams at General Plastics Manufacturing Company is in agreement with these studies. The studies by Upjohn show no inhalation problems which are peculiar to polyurethane foam dust. Normal protective equipment, such as gloves, eye goggles and masks that mechanically filter the dust may be necessary in operations where significant amount dust is generated. Note: Tests with Sprague-Dawley rats at 8.65mg/cubic meter of polyurethane dust show no carcinogenic effects. Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure include asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, skin allergies, and eczema. The possibility exists that individuals who are very sensitive to isocyanates may also be sensitive to the reacted foam. Should this be the case, those individuals need to be assigned to an area which does not have polyurethane foam. FIRST AID PROCEDURES SKIN Wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention if redness persists. EYES Immediately flush with plenty of water to remove dust particles. If irritation is severe and/or is not promptly relieved by washing seek medical attention. INGESTION Not applicable INHALATION Move to fresh air NOTE Any worker exposed to polyurethane dust who develops symptoms of irritation (dermatitis, respiratory problems, puffiness around the eyes, etc.) should seek medical attention. Page 3 of 3 SPILL AND DISPOSAL SPILL Not applicable DISPOSAL Dispose of in accordance with state and Federal regulations SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION RESPIRATORY If cutting, machining, or drilling normal ventilation for standard manufacturing procedures is generally adequate. Dust collection systems and/or dust masks should be used as appropriate to reduce excessive inhalation of dust. SKIN Standard shop coats, arm protectors and gloves should be used if extensive skin contact with dusts from machining work is possible. EYE PROTECTION Side shield goggles required for normal drilling and cutting operations are used to protect eyes from particles and dusts. ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS HANDLING Not applicable STORAGE Will yellow on surface with sunlight or with time OTHER REGULATORY INFORMATION TRANSPORTATION DATA LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 is not regulated or classified in a manner that requires special handling or precautions in shipment. CANADIAN REGULATORY INFORMATION With respect to Canadian regulations for Controlled and Not Controlled Products, LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 is not a Controlled Product. With respect to the Canadian New Substances Notification Regulation, this foam meets the requirements for definition as an article; therefore, LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 is exempt by the provision for an Article Exemption.
