None established, however we recommend that exposure be limited to the OSHA, oil mist exposure,
limit of 5mg/m3.
Subject to SARA Title III Sec. 313, reporting requirements? No
Does this product contain carcinogens (NTP, IARC, or OSHA)? No.
Section 3 - Health Data
HEALTH EFFECTS - (Acute and Chronic)
Ingestion Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers during use should not injure. Large amounts
could cause digestive discomfort.
Inhalation Short-term exposure to mist is not known to produce injury, but should be avoided, as with all
chemicals. Long-term exposure to mist could cause chemical pneumonitis. For non-mist use,
this product has a low vapor pressure and is not expected to present an inhalation hazard at
ambient conditions.
Eye May cause mild irritation.
Skin A single exposure (24 to 48 hours) causes no known adverse effects.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE None known to us.
EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact Flush eyes with large amounts of water. If material is hot, treat for thermal burns and **Get
Medical Help at once**
Skin Contact Wash with soap and water. If material is hot, submerge injured area in cold water; if victim

NOTICE
This product contains methylpolysiloxanes, which when heated to temperatures above 300掳 (150掳 in the
F C),
presence of air, can form formaldehyde vapors. Formaldehyde is a potential cancer hazard, a known skin and
respiratory sensitizer, eye and throat irritant, and an acute toxicant. Vapors irritate eyes, nose, and throat.
Safe handing conditions may be maintained by keeping vapor concentrations within the OSHA permissible
exposure limit for formaldehyde. (Note Product does not contain formaldehyde).
Will Hazardous Polymerization Occur? No
Conditions to Avoid for Polymerization Not applicable
Is the Product Stable? Yes
Conditions to Avoid for Stability Not applicable
Section 6 - Spill or Leak Procedures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
Contain spill immediately. Do not allow spill to enter sewers or watercourses. Absorb with appropriate inert
material such as sand, clay, etc. Large spills may be picked up using vacuum pumps, shovels, buckets, or
other means and placed in drums or other suitable containers.
Waste Disposal Methods
Consult Federal, State, and Local regulations.
Section 7 - Exposure Control Information
Ventilation
General or local exhaust, or mechanical or special ventilation to maintain below recommended exposure limit.
Respiratory Protection
Generally not required if sufficient ventilation is provided. If the recommended exposure limit of the product is
exceeded, an approved vapor/mist mask should be used (consult your safety equipment supplier). If diluted
with solvent, protection suitable for the solvent must also be used.
Protective Clothing
Plastic or rubber gloves can be used for personal hygiene. Contact with this or any industrial chemical should
be avoided.
Other Protective Equipment
If eye contact with the material is likely, eye protection is recommended. Chemical Monogoggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a face shield will provide protection in most situations. Do not wear contact
lenses.
Other Engineering Controls
To determine exposure levels, monitoring should be performed. Monitor for formation of formaldehyde if the
product will be used at temperatures above 300掳 F and exposed to air.
Work Practices

If diluted with solvent, do not use in confined or closed space. Ventilation should maintain the concentration of
the product below its exposure limits. We consider it good practice to maintain exposure to the mist from any
mold release below the OSHA Oil Mist exposure limit of 5 mg/m3 TWA.
Hygienic Practices
Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking after using this or any chemical product.
