Safety Considerations
Safety Data Sheet [SDS] for
VORATEC* SD 211 formulated polyol
is available from The Dow Chemical
Company. SDS is provided to help
customers satisfy their own handling,
safety and disposal needs, and those
that may be required by locally
applicable health and safety
regulations. SDS sheets are updated
regularly. Therefore, please request
and review the most current SDS
before handling or using any product.
Copies of the SDS are available on
request through your nearest Dow
Sales office.
Toxicity and First Aid
Most VORATEC formulated polyols,
depending on their composition,
might present some hazards and
before working with these products it
is necessary to understand the
hazards involved. See SDS for
specific information.
Formulated polyols are commonly
used in «urethane» applications that
contain other more hazardous
materials (e.g. isocyanates, amines
and blowing agents). Anyone
working with urethane systems must
understand all the hazards involved
in handling such systems and must
establish and follow safe work
procedures. Recommendations for
handling, storage, and disposal of
additional formulation ingredients
should be obtained from its supplier.
NOTICE: The information and data contained herein do not constitute sales specifications. The product properties may be changed without notice. No liability, war-
ranty or guarantee of product performance is created by this document. It is the Buyer's responsibility to determine whether Dow products are appropriate for Buyer's
use and to ensure that Buyer's workplace and disposal practices are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. No freedom from any patents or other indus-
trial or intellectual property rights is granted or to be inferred. (January 2001)
Skin and Eyes
When working with VORATEC SD 211
formulated polyol, avoid contact with
eyes or skin. Safety glasses are
suggested for use with most polyols.
However, some VORATEC formulated
polyols require that chemical
workers’ goggles be worn. See the
Product specific SDS, Section 8.
Skin contaminated with polyols
should be washed with soap and
plenty of water. If formulated polyol
or system contacts eyes, flush with
plenty of low-pressure flowing water.
If irritation occurs from contact with
polyols, get prompt medical
attention.
Ingestion
Obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
Avoid any exposure to vapours,
mists and aerosols. If any ill effects
should occur, get the affected person
to fresh air and obtain prompt
medical attention.
Fire and Explosion
Formulated polyols are organic
materials that will burn under the
right conditions of heat and oxygen
supply. Depending on polyol
composition, combustion can lead to
the build-up toxic pyrolysis products
together with carbon and nitrogen
oxides. Store and handle polyols
away from open flame or high heat
sources. Fires can be extinguished
with water fog or other conventional
means.
We don't succeed unless you do.

Fire fighters should wear positive
pressure, self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Formulated polyols if exposed to
heat in confined area may generate
sufficient volatile gases to present an
explosion hazard.
Polyols are stable under normal
conditions. Materials to avoid are
oxidising compounds. Hazardous
polymerisation may occur with
isocyanates.
Spills and Disposal
The preferred way of disposal is to
incinerate under controlled
conditions in accordance with all
local and national environmental laws
and regulations.
Customer Notice
Dow encourages its customers to
review their applications of Dow
products from the standpoint of
human health and environmental
quality. To help ensure that Dow
products are not used in ways for
which they were not intended or
tested, Dow personnel are willing to
assist in dealing with ecological and
product safety considerations. Your
Dow representative can arrange the
proper contacts.
