Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

No known applicable information. The above listed potential effects of overexposure are based on actual data, results of studies performed upon similar compositions, component data and/or expert review of the product. Please refer to Section 11 for the detailed toxicology information. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye: Immediately flush with water. Skin: No first aid should be needed. Inhalation: No first aid should be needed. Oral: No first aid should be needed. Comments: Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: > 214 °F / > 101.1 °C (Closed Cup) Autoignition Not determined. Temperature: Flammability Limits in Air: Not determined. Extinguishing Media: On large fires use dry chemical, foam or water spray. On small fires use carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical or water spray. Water can be used to cool fire exposed containers. Fire Fighting Measures: Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn in fighting large fires involving chemicals. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool. Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Unusual Fire Hazards: None. Hazardous Decomposition Products Thermal breakdown of this product during fire or very high heat conditions may evolve the following hazardous decomposition products: Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds. Silicon dioxide. Formaldehyde. 6, ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Containment/Clean up: Determine whether to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8. Fortarge spills, provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. lf diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbant. Clean area as appropriate since some silicone materials, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may require use of steam, solvents or detergents. Dispose of saturated absorbant or cleaning materials appropriately, since spontaneous heating may occur. Local, state and federal laws and regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as those materials and items employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need to determine which federal, state and local laws and regulations are applicable. Sections 13 and 15 of this MSDS provide information regarding certain federal and state requirements. Note: See section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment for Spills. Call Dow Corning Corporation, (989) 496-5900, if additional information is required. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Use with adequate ventilation. Traces of benzene (carcinogen) may form if heated in air above 300 F (149 C). Provide ventilation to control vapor exposure within inhalation guidelines when handling at elevated temperatures. Review the OSHA benzene regulation for detailed information on safe handling requirements. Avoid eye contact. Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing materials. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Component Exposure Limits There are no components with workplace exposure limits. Engineering Controls Local Ventilation: None should be needed. General Ventilation: Recommended. Personal Protective Equipment for Routine Handling Eyes: Use proper protection - safety glasses as a minimum. Skin: Washing at mealtime and end of shift is adequate. Suitable Gloves: No special protection needed. Inhalation: No respiratory protection should be needed. Suitable Respirator: None should be needed. Personal Protective Equipment for Spills Eyes: Use proper protection - safety glasses as a minimum. MLA aa nial Skin: Washing at mealtime and end of shift is adequate. Inhalation/Suitable No respiratory protection should be needed. Respirator: Precautionary Measures: Avoid eye contact. Use reasonable care. Comments: Traces of benzene (carcinogen) may form if heated in air above 300 F (149 C). Provide ventilation to control vapor exposure within inhalation guidelines when handling at elevated temperatures. Review the OSHA benzene regulation for detailed information on safe handling requirements. Note: These precautions are for room temperature handling. Use at elevated temperature or aerosol/spray applications may require added precautions. 9.
