Safety & Health

Safety Information
  • Most VORANOL polyols generally present no significant hazard in use when simple precautions are followed. However, some VORANOL polyols are hazardous and before working with these systems it is necessary to understand the hazards involved in handling all of the components and to establish and follow safe work procedures.
  • Skin and Eyes: When working with VORANOL polyols, avoid contact of polyol with eyes or skin. Safety glasses are suggested for use with most polyols, however, some VORANOL  polyols require that chemical workers’ goggles be worn. Skin contaminated with polyols should be washed with soap and plenty of water. If polyol contacts eyes, flush with plenty of low pressure flowing water. If irritation occurs from contact with polyols, get medical attention. Ingestion Polyols are low to very low in acute oral toxicity. If a polyol is swallowed, give large amounts of water to dilute. Obtain medical attention.
  • Inhalation: VORANOL polyols typically do not present a significant problem from inhalation. If any adverse effects should occur, get the affected person to fresh air and obtain medical attention.
  • Fire and Explosion: VORANOL polyols will burn under certain conditions and can explode if heated to decomposition temperature in a confined area. VORANOL  polyols are Class IIIB Combustible Liquids under OSHA. Polyol fires can be extinguished with water fog, carbon dioxide or dry chemicals. Polyol fires not involving isocyanate may be extinguished with alcohol foam. Personnel fighting isocyanate fires or polyol fires involving isocyanate should wear pressure demand, self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing as protection against nitrogen dioxide fumes and isocyanate vapors.
  • Spills and Disposal: Waste polyol should be burned in an adequate incinerator. Landfill disposal of polyols is not recommended because of the chemical’s water solubility. Waste disposal of either isocyanate or polyol should always be in accordance with federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
