Does anyone know the dangers or isocynate paint (2 pack) is it long term damage?

Question

What happens if you are exposed to two pack paint (isocynate) in an enclosed space? How can you prove that your body has been exposed to it. What symptoms do you get and how long do the effects last. Are there any industrial injuries regarding this paint that have gone to court?

Answer 1

Ring the supplier ask for a material safety data sheet. It will have information about what the hazards are.

There are prescribed exposure limits for isocyanates - but its hard without an air test from a specialist to determine whether exposure limits have been exceeded. Some isocyanate paints are sensitisers and can cause problems before exposure limits are exceeded. There are different sorts of isocyanates too - some more dangerous than others - the material safety data sheet will tell you exactly which one the paint contains.
