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. 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. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties Flash Point ?F(?C): 206 C (402 F) Flash Point Method: TAG Closed Cup Flammable Limits in Air - Lower (%): Not Determined Flammable Limits in Air - Upper (%): Not Determined Autoignition Temperature ?F(?C): Not Determined Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical. Foam. Carbon dioxide. Protection Of Fire-Fighters: Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Hazardous Combustion Products: Oxides of Carbon. Formaldehyde. Silica (crystalline) Aerosol Comments: Not Applicable 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. Wash walking surfaces with detergent and water to reduce slipping hazard. 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.

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). 9.
