HANDLING POLYURETHANE FOAM SAFELY

1. Polyurethane foam is a by- product of the same process that is used to make

petroleum. It is highly flammable.

2. Polyurethane foam ignites easily and burns rapidly. It should be kept away

open flames and sparks.

3.When it burns, polyurethane releases a great amount of heat and toxic

fumes.

4. Burning polyurethane can cause suffocation in a poorly ventilated area.

5. Polyfunctional isocyanate and polyester polyol should be handled with

gloves.

6. DO NOT INGEST THE POLYURETHANE FOAM - some foams have

flame retardant additives that can be toxic if ingested. Whether or not

the foam you are working with contains them, it should not be ingested

or even placed in the mouth. (JUST LIKE ANY OTHER

CHEMICAL!)
