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 for 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin: No first aid should be needed.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if ill effects persist.
Oral: Get medical attention.
Comments: Treat same as methyl alcohol poisoning.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point:
Autoignition Temperature: Not determined.
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. Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to
your local emergency plan. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.
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. Metal oxides. Nitrogen oxides.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Containment/Clean up: Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8.
Wipe up or scrape up and contain for salvage or disposal. 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 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 (989) 496-5900, if additional information is
required.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Use with adequate ventilation. Product evolves flammable methyl alcohol when exposed to water or humid air. Provide
ventilation during use to control exposure within Section 8 guidelines or use air-supplied or self-contained breathing
apparatus. Avoid eye contact. Do not breathe vapor. Keep container closed. Do not take internally.
Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing materials. Keep container closed and store away from water or
moisture.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Component Exposure Limits
CAS Number Component Name Exposure Limits
1185-55-3 Methyltrimethoxysilane Dow Corning guide: TWA 50 ppm. Also see methyl alcohol
comments.
Methyl alcohol forms on contact with water or humid air. Provide adequate ventilation to control exposures within
guidelines of OSHA PEL: TWA 200 ppm and ACGIH TLV-skin: TWA 200 ppm, STEL 250 ppm.
Engineering Controls
Local Ventilation: Recommended.
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: Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or exposure
assessment demonstrates that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines. IH
personnel can assist in judging the adequacy of existing engineering controls.
Suitable Respirator: General and local exhaust ventilation is recommended to maintain vapor exposures below
recommended limits. Where concentrations are above recommended limits or are unknown,
appropriate respiratory protection should be worn. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29
CFR 1910.134) and use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators.
Personal Protective Equipment for Spills
Eyes: Use full face respirator.
Skin: Washing at mealtime and end of shift is adequate.
Inhalation/Suitable Respiratory protection recommended. Follow OSHA Respirator Regulations (29 CFR
Respirator: 1910.134) and use NIOSH/MHSA approved respirators. Protection provided by air purifying
respirators against exposure to any hazardous chemical is limited. Use a positive pressure air
supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are
unknown, or any other circumstance where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection.
Precautionary Measures: Avoid eye contact. Do not breathe vapor. Keep container closed. Do not take internally. Use
reasonable care.
Comments: Product evolves flammable methyl alcohol when exposed to water or humid air. Provide
ventilation during use to control exposure within Section 8 guidelines or use air-supplied or
self-contained breathing apparatus.
When heated to temperatures above 180 degrees C in the presence of air, product can form
formaldehyde vapors. Formaldehyde is a potential cancer hazard, a known skin and
respiratory sensitizer, and an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat, skin, and digestive system.
Safe handling conditions may be maintained by keeping vapor concentrations within the
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit for formaldehyde.
Note: These precautions are for room temperature handling. Use at elevated temperature or aerosol/spray applications may require
added precautions.
