August 8, 2000 Material Safety Data Sheet
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: Sulfur oxides. Carbon
oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds. Nitrogen oxides. Metal oxides. 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. 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 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, (517)
496-5900, if additional information is required.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid skin contact. Avoid breathing vapor, mist,
dust, or fumes. Keep container closed. Do not take internally. Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing
materials.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

102-71-6 riethanolamine ACGIH TLV: TWA 5 mg/m3.
Engineering Controls
Local Ventilation: Recommended. General Ventilation: Recommended.
Personal Protective Equipment for Routine Handling
Eyes: Use proper protection - safety glasses as a minimum.
Skin: Wash at mealtime and end of shift. If skin contact occurs, change contaminated clothing as soon as possible
and thoroughly flush affected areas with cool water. Chemical protective gloves are recommended. Suitable
Gloves: Silver Shield(R). 4H(R).
Inhalation: Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or air sampling data show
exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines.
Industrial Hygiene Personnel can assist in judging the adequacy of existing engineering controls.
Suitable Respirator: Organic Vapor/Dust/Mist/Fume Type.
Personal Protective Equipment for Spills
Eyes: Use full face respirator.
Skin: Wash at mealtime and end of shift. If skin contact occurs, change contaminated clothing as soon as possible
and thoroughly flush affected areas with cool water. Chemical protective gloves are recommended.
Inhalation/Suitable Respirator: Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or other supplied-air respirator.
Precautionary Measures: Avoid skin contact. Avoid breathing vapor, mist, dust, or fumes. Keep container
closed. Do not take internally. Use reasonable care. Comments: None. Note: These precautions are for room
temperature handling. Use at elevated temperature or aerosol/spray applications may require added precautions.

Acute Toxicology Data for Product Complete information is not yet available.
Component Toxicology Information
Contains Triethanolamine. This chemical is considered a powerful vasodilator. Overexposure may result in
decreased blood pressure and other adverse effects on the nervous system and may cause liver and kidney injury.
Repeated inhalation or oral exposure of mice and rats to octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and
decamethylcyclopentasiloxane produced an increase in liver size. No gross histopathological or significant clinical
chemistry effects were observed. An increase in liver metabolizing enzymes, as well as a transient increase in the
number of normal cells (hyperplasia) followed by an increase in cell size (hypertrophy) were determined to be the
underlying causes of the liver enlargement. The biochemical mechanisms producing these effects are highly
sensitive in rodents, while similar mechanisms in humans are insensitive. Good industrial hygiene practice minimizes
inhalation exposure to any chemical. Dow Corning has set an exposure guideline of 10 ppm TWA for these two
materials.
In developmental toxicity studies in which rats and rabbits were exposed to octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane by vapor
inhalation at concentrations up to 700 ppm and 500 ppm respectively, no teratogenic effects were observed.
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane administered to rats by whole body inhalation at concentrations of 500 and 700 ppm
for 70 days prior to mating, through mating, gestation and lactation resulted in decreases in live litter size.
Additionally, increases in the incidence of deliveries of offspring extending over an unusually long time period
(dystocia) were observed at these concentrations. Statistically significant alterations in these parameters were not
observed in the lower concentrations evaluated (300 and 70 ppm). In a previous range-finding study, rats exposed to
vapor concentrations of 700 ppm had decreases in the number of implantation sites and live litter size. The
significance of these findings to humans is not known.
