DURABILITY
Coo-Var P101 has high abrasion and good chemical resistance.
THICKNESS
Average 30-50um per coat.
TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
Coo-Var P101 is used in areas of high hygiene, chemical attack and surfaces subject to graffiti attack.
SUBSTRATES
Coo-Var P101 will adhere to concrete, wood, plaster and brickwork - but not asphalt unless Coo-Var Profloor Primer is used to form a barrier seal.
SURFACE PREPARATION
It is essential that all surfaces are laitence free, clean, dry and free from any contaminants such as oils and fats.
APPLICATION
5-30oC - by brush or short nap mohair roller. This product can also be spray applied in approved conditions.
When brush or roller applied at ambient temperatures - these products do not emit free Isocyanate at above levels recommended by C.O.S.H.H. Regulations. However, the protective measures shown on the product labels and safety data sheets must be followed.
- 2 -
When used at elevated temperatures or atomised (sprayed) these products do emit small amounts of free Isocyanate and should only be sprayed in an atmosphere controlled working area, with suitable ventilation or flame proof extraction of air. Operatives must wear suitable protective clothing and separate air fed breathing apparatus. It is recommended that spraying of these products be avoided wherever possible to facilitate uncomplicated application and site conditions.
PRIMING
Prime porous concrete, plaster, brickwork or asphalt with Coo-Var Profloor Primer.
MIXING
Coo-Var P101 is packed in pre-measured 4.5 kilo units and should not be split further. Contents of small container (hardener) should be added to contents of large container (Base) and mixed with a jiffy type paddle in a slow speed drill for two minutes.
COVERAGE
35-40m2 per 4.5 kilo unit per coat - Clear only.
30-35m2 per 4.5 kilo unit per coat - Colours.

Risk (R) phrases
R10Flammable.
R20/21Harmful by inhalation and in contact with skin.
R43May cause sensitisation by skin contact.
Contains isocyanates - see section 15 for information.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
In case of eye contact, rinse carefully and thoroughly with water and seek medical advice. In case of skin contact, wipe off mechanically and wash afflicted areas thoroughly with soap and plenty of water. In case of irritation of the respiratory tract or swallowing, consult a doctor.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media CO2, foam, dry powder. In case of larger fires, water spray should be used.
In case of fire, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, isocyanate vapour and traces of hydrogen cyanide may be released. Fire fighters have to wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Do not empty into drains. Remove sources of fire, ensure adequate ventilation/exhaust ventilation. Keep unauthorised persons away. Remove mechanically; cover remainder with wet, absorbent material (eg. sawdust, chemical binder based on calcium silicate hydrate, sand). After approx. one hour transfer to waste container and do not seal (evolution of CO2!) Keep damp in a safe ventilated area for several days.
Further disposal By incineration.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep container dry and tightly closed in a cool and well ventilated place. Further information on storage conditions, which must be observed to preserve quality, can be found in our product information sheet. Ensure adequate ventilation or exhaust ventilation in the working area. Exhaust ventilation is necessary if product is sprayed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Provide adequate ventilation and if necessary, air extraction in working areas. Explosion protection required.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
For exposure controls see section 15.
Wear suitable protective clothing, protective gloves (made of PVC or rubber) and protective goggles/mask. Respiratory protection required in insufficiently ventilated working areas and during spraying. An air-fed mask, or for short periods of work, a combination of charcoal filter and particulate filter is recommended. In case of hypersensitivity of the respiratory tract (eg. asthmatics and those who suffer from chronic bronchitis) it is inadvisable to work with the product. Keep away from foodstuffs, drinks and tobacco. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Keep working clothes separate. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity:
LD50 Oral Ratmore than 5000mg/kg
Skin and mucous membrane compatibility, rabbit:
Skin - 4 hours exposure - very slight irritant
Eyes - very slight irritant
No pulmonary sensitisation observed in animal tests.
No pulmonary sensitisation potential was observed in the guinea pig model after either intradermal or inhalative induction with polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate.
Skin sensitisation according to Buehler (epicutaneous test)
In the guinea pig the product did not show a sensitising effect.
Skin sensitisation according to Magnusson/Kligmann (maximising test)
In the guinea pig the product has a sensitising effect.
Salmonella/microsome test (Ames test)
No indication of mutagenic effects.
Subacute inhalation toxicity, rat
Test concentration - 4,3; 14,7 and 89,8 mg aerosol/m3
exposure time - 3 weeks (6 hours a day, 5 days a week) OECD No. 413; 1985
4,3mg/m3 was tolerated without damage (NOEL),
14,7 mg/m3 caused increase in lung weight,
89,8 mg/m3 inflammatory changes in the respiratory tract.
Evidence of damage to organs other than the organs of respiration was not found.
Subchronic inhalation toxicity, rat
Test concentration - 0,5; 3,3; and 26,4 mg aerosol/m3
exposure time - 13 weeks (6 hours a day, 5 days a week) OECD No. 413; 1987
3,3 mg m3 was tolerated without damage (NOEL),
26,4 mg/m3 caused increase in lung weight, indications of inflammatory changes in the respiratory tract.
All the changes were unspecific and are therefore attributed to the primary irritation potential of the product. Evidence of damage to organs other than the organs of respiration was not found.
Aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylene, irritate the skin and mucous membranes and are narcotic if inhaled in high concentrations.
Specific properties/effects Overexposure, especially during spraying operations without the necessary precautions, entails the risk of concentration-dependent irritating effects on eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract. Delayed appearance of the complaints and development of hypersensitivity (difficulty breathing, coughing, asthma) are possible. Hypersensitive persons may suffer from these effects even at low isocyanate concentrations, including concentrations below the UK Maximum Exposure Limit (MEL). Prolonged contact with the skin may tanning and irritating effects.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute bacterial toxicity: EC50 = 100-1000mg/l
(OECD Guideline for testing of Chemicals, No. 209)
Acute fish toxicity: LC0 = 8,8 mg/l
LC100 = 25,0 mg/l
Test species: Brachydanio rerio (Zebra barbel) Duration of test: 96 hours
Do not allow to escape into waters, wastewater or soil. The resin reacts with water at the interface forming CO2 and a solid insoluble product with high melting point (polyurea). This reaction is accelerated by surfactants (eg. detergents) or by water-soluble solvents.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
May be incinerated in a suitable facility provided local regulations are observed.
Empty containers may be disposed of after neutralising any product remaining on the walls of the container with a mixture of isopropanol, ammonia and water. Afterwards, remove warning labels.

The above mentioned manufacturer’s information on the handling of isocyanates is contained in the safety data sheet of the product.
The European Committee of Paint, Printing Ink and Artists’ Colours Manufacturers’ Associations (CEPE) provides the following information on coatings containing isocyanates:
Ready-to-use paints containing isocyanates may have an irritant effect on mucous membranes – especially on breathing organs – and cause hypersensitivity reactions. Inhalation of vapour or spray mist may cause sensitisation. When handling paints containing isocyantes all precautions required for solvent-containing paints must be followed. Vapour and spray mist in particular should not be inhaled. Persons who are allergic, asthmatic, or prone to respiratory ailments should not work with isocyanate-containing paints.
