5.Handling and Storage
The product must be stored out of direct sunlight and weather. The containers must always be kept sealedagainst moisture. ldeal storage temperature is approximately 30'C or less, Under these conditions, the product will remain stable for 6 months.
DESMODUR 44V20L may undergo partial crystallization at temperatures
below 0°C.The product can, however, be brought back into the liguid
state by heating the entire contents of the drum for short time to
a maximum of 70°C, although this may lead to an increase in the
solids content. Drums - including empty ones - should always be
kept tightly sealed.
The product should never be allowed to come into contact with water,which reacts with DESMODUR 44V20L to form polyurea and carbon dioxide. Contact with water in any form (damp drums, solvents containing water, moist air) must be prevented not only during storage, but also when removing material from drum and during processing. Failure to do so may lead to a dangerous build-up of pressure in tanks and drums due to the generation of carbon dioxide.
In addition, polyurea forming in DESMODUR 44V20L can cause solids to separate out, leading to blockages in the filters, pumps and pipelines of the processing equipment and resulting in production problems.
6.Safety Precautions
DESMODUR is a blend of diphenylmethane-diisocyanate, isomers and
homologues.
Because of its character, DESMODUR may cause slight to moderate
irritation when it is exposed to the skin, the eyes, and the mucous
membranes.
Safety goggles and impermeable protective gloves should always be
worn if there is a risk of direct exposure when handling DESMODUR.
Splashes that are exposed to skin must be wiped off immediately and
the contaminated areas must be thoroughly washed with soap and
water.
Affected areas should be treated with a qood barrier cream.
To prevent further contact with the skin, contaminated clothing
should be changed immediately and thoroughly cleaned before reuse.
The product must be kept away from food items.
Anyone involved in the application of the system must familiarize
themselves with the safety precautions required for rigid
polyurethane foams.
