Inhalation:    Yes                                                              
Skin:          Yes                                                              
Eye:           Yes                                                              
INHALATION:                                                                     
At room temperature, vapors are minimal due to low vapor pressure. In           
some individuals an allergic reaction may occur. May cause respiratory          
sensitization in susceptible individuals. MDI concentrations below              
exposure guidelines may cause allergic reactions in individuals                 
already sensitized. Symptoms may include coughing, difficult breathing          
and a feeling of tightness in the chest. Effects may be delayed.                
Impaired lung function (decreased ventilation capacity) has been                
associated with overexposure to isocyanates.                                    
INGESTION:                                                                      
No hazard expected in normal industrial use. Ingestion is not a likely          
route of exposure.                                                              
SKIN:                                                                           
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation. Skin contact          
may result in allergic skin reactions or respiratory sensitization but          
is not expected to result in absorption of amounts sufficient to cause          
other adverse effects. Material may stick to skin causing irritation            
upon removal. May stain skin.                                                   
EYE:
