Safety Considerations

Most VORANOL™, VORALUX™ and SPECFLEX™ Polyols generally present no significant hazard in use when simple precautions are
followed. However, some VORANOL, VORALUX and SPECFLEX Polyols may require additional care in handling. Before working with
VORANOL, VORALUX and SPECFLEX 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 MDI and TDI (e.g., VORAMER™ or ISONATE™ MDI and
VORANATE™ or PAPI™ Polymeric MDI) should always be used in a well ventilated area with appropriate local exhaust in such a way that
the occupational exposure limits (OEL) for these materials are not exceeded.

Products based on MDI and TDI require care in handling due to the potential health effects associated with diisocyanates. 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 www.dow.com.

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.
