There is a risk of hypersensitisation if the vapour or spray mist is inhaled. When using materials containing isocyanates, all precautions relating to the handling of solvents should be carefully followed. In particular, care should be taken not to inhale spray mist or vapour. Asthma sufferers, those with allergies and anyone with a history of respiratory complaints must not be asked to work with products containing isocyanates. Contact with skin and eyes should be avoided. Contact with eyes should be referred to a Doctor after washing with water.
