6 Safety Considerations Most VORANOL Polyols and VORALUX Polyols generally present no significant hazard in use when simple precautions are followed. However, some VORANOL and VORALUX polyols are hazardous. Before working with VORANOL and VORALUX polyols, it is necessary to understand the hazards involved in handling all of the components and to establish and follow safe work procedures. Products based on diisocyanates like and TDI (e.g., VORAMER and VORANATE Polymeric ) should always be used in a well ventilated area with appropriate local extraction in such a way that the occupational exposure limits (OEL) for these materials are not exceeded. Products based on diisocyanates like and TDI are potentially hazardous and require care in handling. All persons who work with these materials must know and follow proper safe handling procedures. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) or Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are 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. MSDS are updated regularly; therefore, please request and review the most current MSDS before handling or using any product. MSDS, SDS, product literature, and safe handling and storage information for all of these products are available from the nearest Dow sales office and online at Customer Notice Dow encourages its customers to review their applications of Dow products from the standpoint of human health and environmental quality. For further information about safety considerations for your product application, please contact your Dow sales representative.
