Physical Appearance and Odor:
white viscous liquid, odorless.
Warning Statements:
Based on currently available data, this product does not meet the regulatory definition of a
hazardous substance. However, good industrial hygiene practices should be used in handling it.
B. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Acute Eye:
Non-irritating.
Acute Skin:
Non-irritating. Low acute dermal toxicity.
Acute Inhalation:
Inhalation not likely.
Acute Ingestion:
Low acute oral toxicity.
Chronic Effects:

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID MEASURES FOR ACCIDENTAL:
Eye Exposure:
In case of contact, immediately absorb excess with clean absorbent cloth or cotton. Then, hold
eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention if irritation develops or persists or if visual changes occur.
Skin Exposure:
Immediately wipe excess material off skin with a dry cloth; then wash skin with plenty of soap and
water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Inhalation:
Inhalation is not an expected route of exposure. If respiratory irritation or distress occurs remove
victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation or distress continues.

Cleanup and Disposal of Spill:
3
Material Safety Data Sheet
MOLDRITE25
Absorb with an inert absorbent. Scrape up and place in appropriate closed container (see Section
7: Handling and Storage). Clean up residual material with an appropriate solvent like paint thinner
or mineral spirits, provided that there is good ventilation and no sources of ignition.
Environmental and Regulatory Reporting:
Do not flush to drain.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Minimum/Maximum Storage Temperatures:
< 32 C (90 F)
Handling:
Avoid breathing vapors and mists. Avoid direct or prolonged contact with skin and eyes. DO NOT
ALLOW TO FREEZE.
Storage:
Store in tightly closed containers. Store in an area that is clean, dry, well-ventilated.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Introductory Remarks:
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product. Because specific
work environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed
for each intended application. While developing safe handling procedures, do not overlook the
need to clean equipment and piping systems for maintenance and repairs. Waste resulting from
these procedures should be handled in accordance with Section 13: Disposal Considerations.
Assistance with selection, use and maintenance of worker protection equipment is generally
available from equipment manufacturers.
This product can form formaldehyde vapors when heated to temperatures above 150 degrees C
in the presence of air. Formaldehyde is a potential cancer hazard, a known skin and respiratory
sensitizer, and an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat, skin, and digestive system. Safe handling
conditions may be maintained by keeping vapor concentrations within the OSHA Permissible
Exposure Limit for formaldehyde.
Exposure Guidelines:
Exposure limits represent regulated or recommended worker breathing zone concentrations
measured by validated sampling and analytical methods, meeting the regulatory requirements.
The following limits apply to this material, where, if indicated, S=skin and C=ceiling limit:
SILICON DIOXIDE
Notes TWA STEL
ACGIH 10 mg/cu m
OSHA 6 mg/cu m

OSHA 10 mg/cu m
Engineering Controls:
Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential for excessive exposure
exists, the following traditional exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize
employee exposures: general area dilution/exhaust ventilation.
Respiratory Protection:
When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based on actual or
potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards
and/or industrial recommendations.
Under normal conditions, in the absence of other airborne contaminants, the following devices
should provide protection from this material up to the conditions specified by the appropriate
OSHA, WHMIS or ANSI standard(s): Air-purifying (half-mask/full-face) respirator with
cartridges/canister approved for use against organic vapors.
Eye/Face Protection:
Eye and face protection requirements will vary dependent upon work environment conditions and
material handling practices. Appropriate ANSI Z87 approved equipment should be selected for
the particular use intended for this material.
It is generally regarded as good practice to wear a minimum of safety glasses with side shields
when working in industrial environments.
Skin Protection:
Skin contact should be minimized through use of gloves and suitable long-sleeved clothing (i.e.,
shirts and pants). Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation
resistance.
Work Practice Controls:
Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and the following
general measures should be taken when working with or handling this material:
(1) Do not store, use, and/or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in
areas where this material is stored.
(2) Wash hands and face carefully before eating, drinking, using tobacco, applying
cosmetics, or using the toilet.
(3) Wash exposed skin promptly to remove accidental splashes or contact with this
material.
