Health Hazard Potential of HYPOL (Trademark) Polyurethane Prepolymers

Abstract

This report presents the results of an evaluation of the potential hazards associated with the use of various formulations of foamable hydrophilic polyisocyanates containing one to two weight percent free toluene diisocyanate (TDI) in Air Force Pacer Foam operations. TDI concentrations and generation rates are presented as well as recommended controls for the use of these prepolymers in foaming operations. Permissible dosage and analysis procedures are also discussed.
