Section 4: FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA:
Flash Point: | Not Applicable |
Auto-ignition temperature: | 500 Degrees Fahrenheit |
Extinguishing Media: | Water, CO2, or sand |
Special Procedures: | Firefighters and others who may be exposed to products of combustion should wear full protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. |
Unusual Fire and Explosion hazard: | Sawing, sanding or machining can produce foam dust as a by-product which may present an explosion hazard if a dust cloud contacts an ignition source. An airborne concentration of 40 grams of dust per cubic meter of air is often used as the LEL for foam dust. |
Section 5: REACTIVITY DATA:
Stability: | Stable under normal conditions |
Incompatibility (Materials to avoid): | Avoid open flame. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents. Product may auto-ignite at temperatures in excess of 450 degrees Fahrenheit. |
Hazardous decomposition products: | Thermal and / or thermal oxidative decomposition can produce irritation and toxic fumes and gasses including carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide |
Section 6: HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
Rigid polyurethane is not considered or listed as a hazardous chemical in 29 CFR 1910 subpart Z, Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2051), or the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (15 U.S.C. 1261). Foam dust may be a by-product of the installation process.
