Inhalation: Vapor overexposure may cause drowsiness.
Oral: Swallowing large amounts may cause drowsiness.
Prolonged / Repeated Exposure Effects
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause defatting and drying of skin which may result
Skin:
in skin irritation and dermatitis.

Prolonged / Repeated Exposure Effects
No known applicable information.
Medical Conditions 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.
Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if ill effects persist.
Inhalation:
Get medical attention.
Oral:
Treat according to person's condition and specifics of exposure.
Comments:
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
118.4 F / 48 C (Pensky-Martens Closed Cup)
Flash Point:
Autoignition Not determined.
Temperature:
Not determined.
Flammability Limits in Air:
On large fires use medium expansion (<30:1) AFFF alcohol compatible foam or water
Extinguishing Media:
spray. On small fires use medium expansion (<30:1) AFFF alcohol compatible foam,
CO2 or water spray. Water can be used to cool fire exposed containers.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn in fighting
Fire Fighting Measures:
large fires involving chemicals. Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area
according to your local emergency plan. Use water spray to keep fire exposed
containers cool.
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Unusual Fire Hazards:
Static electricity will accumulate and may ignite vapors. Prevent a possible fire
hazzard by bonding and grounding or inert gas purge. Fire burns more vigorously
than would be expected.
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
Remove possible ignition sources. Determine whether to evacuate or isolate the area
Containment / Clean up:
according to your local emergency plan. Observe all personal protection equipment
recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8. 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 up remaining materials
from spill with suitable absorbent. Clean area as appropriate since spilled materials, even
in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may require use of steam,
solvents or detergents. Dispose of saturated absorbent 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. Refer to Dow Corning 2-1184 fluid.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Use adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor. Keep container closed. Do not take internally. Avoid eye
contact.
Static electricity will accumulate and may ignite vapors. Prevent a possible fire hazzard by bonding and grounding or
inert gas purge. Keep container closed and away from heat, sparks and flame.
