Material Safety Data Sheets

These sheets are intended to cover only polyurethanes that are based on TDI and MDI prepolymers in combination with those curatives, catalysts, plasticizers, fillers, and pigments, which, by their addition, do not add any hazards other than the ones covered in this document.

 

This MSDS follows the ANSI Z400.1-2005 format which is recognized as acceptable to OSHA, and other federal agencies. The PMA has been advised that this MSDS for polyurethane articles manufactured within the parameters described above will comply with federal OSHA regulations.
