Section 3 Hazard Identification


Potential health effects (acute and chronic):

Routes of entry:

    Eye:             Direct contact irritates slightly with redness 
                     and swelling.

Health Hazards 
(acute and chronic): The degree of injury depends on the duration 
                     of exposure.

    Inhalation:      Vapors may injure lungs, blood, liver, kidneys, 
                     and nervous system.

    Skin:            A single relatively short exposure irritates.  
                     Repeated prolonged contact irritates seriously. 
                     Over exposure may irritate internally.

    Ingestion:       Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers 
                     should not cause injury.  Swallowing large amounts will 
                     injure seriously.

Signs and symptoms of exposure:         
                     Prolonged over exposure may injure lungs, kidneys, 
                     liver, blood, and nervous system and aggravate 
                     existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders.

Medical condition aggravated by exposure:     
                     Short vapor exposure may cause drowsiness and 
                     irritate throat.

Routes of entry:     Inhalation, ingestion or skin contact.

Carcinogenicity:
                     Not determined




Section 4: First Aid Measures


Emergency and first aid procedures: Skin: Wipe off and flush with water. Eyes: Immediately flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms persist. Ingestion: Get medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Prevent aspiration of liquid into lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.



Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures


Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting to rescue and providing first aid. These practices include avoiding all unnecessary exposure and removal of the material from eye, skin and clothing. Inhalation: If symptoms are experienced, move victim to fresh air, if symptoms persist, obtain medical attention. Inhalation of the mist from the aerosol form could potentially be very dangerous and even life-threatening. After all, this is a vacuum leak sealant and one can only imagine what a vacuum sealant could do to the capacity of the lungs to exchange oxygen. Medical assistance should be obtained at once. Eye contact: Wash eyes with clean low pressure water. Seek medical assistance without delay. Skin contact: If the polymer should contact the skin from either the aerosol or non- aerosol form, wash with plenty amounts of water. Ingestion: This route of exposure is not anticipated. However, cured silicone resins are not perceived to be highly toxic in the body. Nevertheless, medical advice should be obtain at once. Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, water fog, foam, carbon dioxide, other Special Firefighting Procedure: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus due to thermal decomposition of products and protective clothing should be worn. Unusual Fire and explosion hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and can travel along the ground to remote areas. Try to remove any aerosol cans from the path of the first because aerosol cans, when over heated, will explode. Fire And Explosion Hazard Data Flash Point............... None (Trichloroethylene) Flammable Limits in Air... Flammable limit in air, % by vol. (trichloroethylene) LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) : 10.5% UEL (Upper Explosive Limit) : 8.9%




Section 6: Accidental Release Measures


Spill Response:
   Use absorbent material to collect and contain for salvage or 
   disposal.  Remove all sources of ignition and wear protective 
   equipment.  Use chemical worker goggles.  use respiratory protection 
   unless local exhaust ventilation is adequate or air sample data 
   exposures are within TLV and PEL guidelines.  Rubber or plastic 
   gloves are recommended.  Remove contaminated clothing and shoes as 
   soon as practical and clean before reuse.




Section 7: Handling and Storage


Precautions to be taken in handling and storing:
   Keep container closed and away from heat.  In the case of the
   aerosol form of the product, this is even more important because
   shelf life of the product will be greatly entended if not exposed
   to warmer temperatures.

Other precautions:
   When processing at elevated temperatures, provide ventilation to 
   control exposures within OSHA and ACGIL limits.  Aerosol or spray 
   applications may require added precautions.  Evolution rate is 
   highest during the first few hours, then subsequently approaches 
   zero.

            Do not store neat heat of flame or other source of ignition 
            (e.g. Electrical wiring or motors).

     

Other:     Keep container tightly closed. Store in cool  
           dry well ventilated area.




Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Handling and Storage:
     Do not store neat heat of flame or other source of ignition 
     (e.g. Electrical wiring or motors).

     Use protective rubber or plastic gloves when handling to 
     avoid skin contact.  Always use proper eye protection.  
     Keep protective clothing in good clean condition and clean 
     thoroughly after each use.

Engineering Controls:
     Use only in well ventillated area in order to prevent the build up of
     vapors or fumes.

Personal Protection:

     Inhalation:  Use appropriate respiratory protection when using the
     product in aerosol form.  Avoid breathing the vapors of the product in
     either product form.

     Skin:        Use protective clothing such as long sleeves or a lab
coat.  This is especially recommended when using the aerosol form of the
product but good practice when using any form of the product.

     Eye:         Always use safety glasses, preferably chemical
goggles when using any form of this product.

Section 12: Ecological Information


Exotoxicity:
       Exotoxicity is expected to be low based the fact that solvents
       evaporate quickly and the silicone polymerizes into an inert
       substance with virtually no water solubility.  No other information
       is known on this topic.

Environmental Fate:
       No information found in our selected references.

Bioaccumulation:
       Not expected to occur.




Section 13: Disposal Considerations


Disposal considerations:
   All local, state, federal or other regulations concerning health and 
   pollution should be reviewed to determine approved disposal procedures.




Section 14: Transport Information


Non-aerosol form of the product:

Proper Shipping Name: Silicone resin solution
DOT Hazard Class:      2.2

Packing Group:         III
Labels:                Aerosol, Non-Flammable N. O. S.
