We're off topic here but iffn ya really wanna know the answer, isocyanates are also sensitzers meaning the slightest exposure to someone senstized to Imron can make them sick.

So you framebuilders, to stay safe, you should be working with Imron in an enclosed spray booth with a positive pressure suit. Respirators are not acceptable protection for isocyanates. Why? The Permissible Exposure Limit/TLV value for isocyanate is very low and cartridges simply are not effective.

Oh yes, food and drink must be kept out of the spray area because once contaminated, that becomes a route of entry into the body.

Unless you know what you are doing, stay away from Imron.
