Effects of Overexposure
Acute Effects:
Eye: Direct contact may cause temporary redness and discomfort
Skin: No significant irritation expected from a single
short-term exposure.
Inhalation: No significant effects expected from a single
short-term exposure.
Oral: Low ingestion hazard in normal use.
Prolonged/Repeated Exposure Effects:
Skin: No known applicable information
Inhalation: No known applicable information
Oral: No known applicable information
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure
No known applicable information
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
No known applicable information
According to the manufacturer, 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.
Refer to Section 11 for the detailed toxicology.
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting to rescue and providing first aid. For specific information refer to the Emergency Overview in Section of this MSDS. Inhalation: No first aid should be needed. Eye Contact: Wash eyes with clean low-pressure water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. Skin Contact: No first aid should be needed. Ingestion: No first aid should be needed. Comments: Treat symptomatically.
Flash point: 100°C (212°F) Closed Cup Auto-Ignition Temperature: Not determined Flammability classification: Not determined. Grease will not ignite or burn readily. Extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide, water spray, dry chemical, foam; 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. 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 dioxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds, silicon dioxide, and formaldehyde.
Sections 13 and 15 of this MSDS provide information regarding certain federal and state requirements. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent. For large spills, provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container. 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. Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8. 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. Note: See Section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment for Spills. Call Dow Corning Corporation, USA, at 1-517-496-5900.
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, otherwise, no special precautions
required.
Storage: Keep cap tightly screwed on to protect integrity of the product.
Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing materials.
