OSHA revoked the Final Rule Limits of January 19, 1989 in response to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decision (AFL-CIO v.
OSHA) effective June 30, 1993. See 29 CFR 1910.1000 (58 FR 35338).
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration using a barrier device. If
breathing is difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Eyes: Do not rub eyes. Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away
from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin: Wash skin gently with soap and water and remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if
irritation persists. Launder any contaminated clothing thoroughly before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If large amounts of the product are ingested, give 2 glasses of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: Not applicable LEL: Not applicable UEL: Not applicable
AUTO IGNITION TEMP.: Not applicable
Product is non-flammable. Product in or near fires should be cooled with water spray or fog. Firefighters must
wear NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full face mask
and full protective clothing.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Dike area with earth, sand, or other non-reactive material to prevent spread of release. Do not walk through
spilled material. Shovel or wipe up into a container for later disposal. Avoid clean up procedures that may
result in water pollution. Personal safety and exposure recommendations described elsewhere in the data sheet
apply to exposure during clean up of spilled material. See Section 13.
Momentive Performance Materials MSDS #403 Page 2 of 5 July 8, 2007
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage: Store in original containers away from incompatibles. Avoid freezing.
Handling: Avoid contact with the eyes and skin. Avoid generating and breathing dust. Use with adequate local
exhaust ventilation. Wear protective clothing to minimize skin contact. Remove contaminated clothing and
clean before reuse. Wash thoroughly after work using soap and water. Keep away from children.
Empty Containers: Product packaging may contain product residue. Do not reuse.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL - PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Ventilation and other forms of engineering controls are the preferred means for
controlling exposures. The need for local exhaust ventilation should be evaluated by a professional industrial
hygienist. Local exhaust ventilation systems should be designed by a professional engineer.
Respiratory: If exposure limits are exceeded or respiratory irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved
respiratory protection should be worn. Supplied air respirators may be required for non-routine or emergency
situations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with OSHA regulations (see 29 CFR
1910.134).
Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields.
Protective Gloves: Polymeric gloves.
General: Avoid unnecessary skin contact with this material. Polymeric coated apron or other body covering is
recommended. All soiled or dirty clothing and personal protective equipment should be thoroughly cleaned
before reuse.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Boron nitride is physiologically inert and is considered a "nuisance" dust. Other boron compounds may be highly
toxic and considered poisonous. Free boron will not be liberated under normal operating conditions or thermal
decomposition of boron nitride. Exposure to boron nitride will not result in boron poisoning. Bentonite clays
have a very low order of acute toxicity.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No ecotoxicity data is available. Product is inert. It is not expected to present an environmental hazard.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
As prepared, product is considered non-hazardous. Dispose in accordance with all local, state, and federal or
provincial regulations. If used or waste product is disposed of testing should be conducted to determine hazard
characteristics. Empty containers will have product residues. Do not reuse.
