3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Causes severe eye irritation. Will damage tissue. This material is a skin irritant. This product contains
dimethylpolysiloxane which can generate small amounts of formaldehyde as a byproduct of oxidative
thermal decomposition beginning at approximately 150 C (300 F). Exposure to formaldehdye can cause
adverse effects such as skin and respiratory sensitization and eye and throat irritation. Formaldehyde is a
potential cancer hazard. Use good industrial hygiene practices to evaluate and control exposure to
formaldehyde when warranted by conditions of use.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Immediately absorb excess with clean absorbent cloth or cotton. Immediately flush eyes with large amounts
of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. If irritation or redness persists or signs of toxicity
occur, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 1-2 glasses of water to drink. Never give fluids or induce vomiting if the
victim is unconscious or having convulsions. Get immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing
becomes difficult.
Skin Contact: For skin contact, wipe away excess material with dry towel. Then wash affected areas with plenty of water,
and soap if available, for several minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment to prevent skin and eye contact.
Spill Procedures: Ventilate spill area. Soak up material with absorbent and place in chemical waste container. 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.
Action to be taken if material is released orWash walking surfaces with detergent and water to reduce slipping hazard.
spilled:
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter sanitary drains, sewer or surface and subsurface waters.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling and Storage: Avoid breathing vapors, if exposed to high vapor concentration, leave area at once. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Store at tempertures between 41 - 77 F. Store tightly closed containers in cool,dry place. Use in a
well ventilated area to prevent irritation by vapors.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Exhaust ventilation. Showers. Eyewash stations.
Eyes: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect against exposure.
Skin Protection: Avoid skin contact. Wear protective clothing and gloves.
Respiratory Protection: Use an approved NIOSH organic vapor respirator below the TLV. If TLV is exceeded or overexposure is
likely, use positive pressure or self contained breathing apparatus. Check exposure limit guidelines for
formaldehyde, a byproduct of oxidative thermal decomposition of dimethylsiloxane, if this product is handled
above 150 C (300 F).
