Material Safety DataSheet
CHRONIC EFFECTS/CARCINOGENICITY:
This product or one of its ingredients present 0.1% or more
is NOT listed as a carcinogen or suspected carcinogen by
NTP, IARC, or OSHA.
PRODUCTS/INGREDIENTS
This space reserved for special use.
PRINCIPLE ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
Oral.
Dermal - skin.
Inhalation.
OTHER:
This product contains a component that showed unexpected acute
toxicity to pregnant rabbits in a gavage study conducted by the
chemical manufacturers association. There were no unexpected
toxic effects in pregnant rats exposed in the same study. No
developmental effects were noted in either study. Effect levels
in rabbits were several times the maximum exposure which would
occur at the TLV for this component.
This product contains Methylpolysiloxanes which can generate
Formaldehyde at approximately 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150'F)
and above, in atmospheres which contain oxygen. Formaldehyde
is a skin and respiratory sensitizer, eye and throat irritant,
acute toxicant, and potential cancer hazard. An MSDS for
Formaldehyde is available from GE Silicones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INGESTION:
If swallowed induce vomiting immediately by giving
two glasses of water and sticking fingers down throat;
never give anything to an unconscious person. Get medical
attention.
SKIN:
Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
Wash with soap and water.
INHALATION:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artifi-
cial respiration, preferably mouth-to mouth. If breathing is
difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention.
EYES:
In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get
medical attention immediately after flushing.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:

Additional technical guidance for NYS bulk storage
- Some NYS bulk storage requirements are covered in previous
sections.
- This product contains flammable/combustible solvents.
- Materials of construction/compatibility
Material is commonly stored in closed stainless steel or
glass lined steel piping and storage tanks (at ambient
temperature). Any other materials such as reinforce fiber-
glass, plastic and etc. must be tested for compatibility be-
fore use. Consult supplier for materials for gaskets,
packing, etc.
- Condition for safe storage
Bulk storage design factors to consider are venting,
diking, separation distances between tanks and other
structures. Storage requirements should be determined
through consultation with qualified design and fire
protection engineers and fire insurance carriers.
Technical guidance may be found in pamphlet NFPA 30 or
factory mutual handbook of industrial loss prevention.
Recommended tank design: For pressure vessels, see American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) code, section VIII, 50
PSIG minimum pressure and full vacuum. For atmospheric tanks,
see API 2000 for design requirements.
Relief Valves: Flammable and Combustible Liquids code, NFPA
Nos. 30 and 29 CFR 1910.106, also consult API 520, 521. For
piping design, consult ANSI B.31.3.
- Storage equipment
Corrosion protection, leak detection, spill and over-
fill protection requirements, installation and maintenance
information may be found in EPA final rule: 40 CFR part
280 underground storage tanks. New York State regulates
storage requirements of this material in 6NYCRR parts
595-599.
- Inspection and maintenance
http://www.gesilicones.com/NASApp/gesilecom...SDSName=SHC1200&Language=English&Format=USA (10 of 11) [1/2/2002 11:12:06 PM]
Material Safety DataSheet
NYS regulates some inspection and maintenance requirements
under 6NYCRR part 598.
API publication, guide for inspection of refinery
equipment, is a source for inspection and maintenance
information. (American Petroleum Institute, 1220 L. Street,
Northwest, Washington, D.C. 20005)
- Safety precautions, warnings and procedures for handling
and unloading bulk deliveries
Only qualified, fully trained and experienced persons
should sample, connect, load, unload, or disconect a tank
car, portable tank or tank truck.
When loading or unloading material in bulk, all DOT
(Department of Transportation) regulations found in 49 CFR
172-178 must be followed when applicable. This will include
grounding, braking, attendance, etc.
The contents of the material to be unloaded should be
verified before any transfer is made.
Prior to unloading into a storage tank, a qualified
person must check the storage tank level to be sure that
the amount of material to be received will not overflow the
storage tank. The proper unloading connection should be
vented to a vapor removal, recovery or conservation system.
- Spill and emergency response
Release reporting and corrective action are listed in
40 CFR part 280 underground storage tanks and 6NYCRR
part 595.
................................................................
Note: Compatibility of GE Silicone hardcoat and polycarbonate
resin, including GE LEXAN(R) resin, is dependent on a number of
factors including operational stresses, chemical exposure,
temperature levels, impact and exposure to ultraviolet light.
While it is up to the end user to determine what application
specific testing is appropriate, it is suggested that all
polycarbonate resin applications be tested for at least 30 days
for compatibility and crazing with this hardcoat before use.
There is no dependable substitute for careful testing of proto-
types or production parts in typical operating environments.
