no data available
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration.

Melting point/freezing point：
4 °C. Atm. press.:1 atm. Remarks:OECD 102 suggests that melting should be reported as a range marked by onset and endset of melting peak. Hence the melting range of TMXDI is 4-12 °C. However the ASTM method and SOP used states to report the onset as the melt. So the reported m.p. is 4°C.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: 1,3-Bis(1-isocyanato-1-methylethyl)benzene was not found to be readily biodegradable by the OECD Closed Bottle Test. A solution of 1,3-bis(1-isocyanato-1-methylethyl)benzene was inoculated with a low concentration of activated sludge from a mixed population and kept in closed bottles in the dark at a constant temperature of 20 deg C. The degradation was followed by oxygen analyses over a 28-day period. A parallel control with inoculum, but without test material, was run as a blank correction factor. The procedure was validated by means of a reference substance (aniline) of known biodegradability. Degradation after 28-days was determined to be 13.7% as compared to 95% for the aniline reference material. Because a level of 70% was not reached, this substance is not "Readily Biodegradable" by this test procedure(2). Due to the rapid hydrolysis of isocyanates, the test probably is for the diamine hydrolysis product(SRC).
Bioaccumulative potential
1,3-Bis(1-isocyanato-1-methylethyl)benzene, similar to most isocyanates(1-4), is expected to hydrolyze in aqueous solution; therefore, bioconcentration will not be environmentally relevant(SRC).
Mobility in soil
1,3-Bis(1-isocyanato-1-methylethyl)benzene, similar to most isocyanates(1-4), is expected to hydrolyze in aqueous solution; therefore, leaching and adsorption to sediment will not be environmentally relevant(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
