Material Safety Data Sheet
Material: 60040552 ELASTOSIL?M 4511 US (TAP Super Flexible Silicone RTV)
Version: 1.1 (US) Date of print: 09/01/2006 Date of last alteration: 12/23/2005
Mucous membrane contact:
No known mucous membrane hazards.
Ingestion:
No known ingestion hazards.
Additional information on acute health effects:
This product contains methylpolysiloxane which can release formaldehyde vapors when heated to
temperatures over 302 癋 in air. The amount of formaldehyde generated will depend on the
quantity and surface area of the material, the processing temperature, and the duration and
nature of the process. Formaldehyde is a potential cancer hazard, causes irritation and
sensitization of the skin and respiratory system, causes eye and throat irritation, and is
acutely toxic. Safe conditions of use can be ensured by monitoring and controlling vapor
concentrations in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1048. Due to the physical nature of this
material, exposure to hazardous ingredients is not anticipated. Ingestion of large amounts may
cause intestinal blockage. Ingestion is not expected during industrial use.
3.3 Further information:
Chronic health effects:
No known or expected chronic health effects.
Medical conditions which may be aggravated by exposure:
none known
Target organs affected:

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
Refer to Acute Health Effects, listed above.
Carcinogens/Reproductive toxins:
This material does not contain any reproductive toxins at or above OSHA or WHMIS reportable
levels. This material does not contain any reportable carcinogenic ingredients. Exposure to
carcinogens cannot occur under normal conditions of use or during foreseeable emergencies.
See Section 11 for Toxicological Information, if any.
