None established, however we recommend that exposure be limited to the OSHA, oil mist exposure,
limit of 5mg/m3.
Section 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Slippery; can cause falls if walked on. Inhalation of mist or fumes evolved upon heating most likely to be
irritating to respiratory tract.
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Product is an odorless, colorless, thick liquid. May cause mechanical eye, skin,
and respiratory tract irritation. For large spills, wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Dike to
prevent spread. Collect released product by adsorption or mechanical scooping up.
CAUTION Spills or overspray will cause slippery floors, even after normal cleanup. They are difficult to
clean up entirely. Prevent overspray and spills.
HEALTH EFFECTS (Acute and Chronic)
Short-term exposure to mist is not known to produce injury, but should be avoided, as with all
Nose
chemicals. Long-term exposure to any 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.
Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers during use should not injure. Large amounts
Mouth
could cause digestive discomfort.
Direct contact may cause temporary irritation, with discomfort similar to windburn.
Eyes
A single, prolonged exposure (24 to 48 hours) causes no known adverse effects.
Skin
Chronic The product is not known to be a carcinogen or suspected carcinogen.
ROUTE OF ENTRY Inhalation if atomized. Transfer to eyes from fingers. Skin.
TARGET ORGANS, MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE None known.

Section 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
NOTE If irritation persists after any kind of body exposure, get medical help.
Remove person to fresh air. If gross overexposure to mist and if breathing is stopped or
Breathing
irregular, administer artificial respiration or oxygen. If victim is unconscious **Get Medical
Help at once**
Not expected to be a route of entry. May act as a laxative. Do not induce vomiting. Obtain
Eating
medical assistance. Small amounts that accidentally enter mouth should be rinsed out until
taste of product is gone.
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 is
severely burned, get medical help at once.
Section 5 鈥? FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (OC) ...................鈮? 575掳 F (302掳 C) Flammable Limits ...........LEL = ND UEL = ND
Autoignition temperature........ND
Extinguishing Media Carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, dry chemical, water fog.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures Firefighters should wear self-contained, positive-pressure breathing
apparatus, protective clothing, and avoid skin contact, due to thermal decomposition products. Use
equipment or shielding to protect personnel against rupturing or venting containers. Cooling containers with
water streams may be helpful.
Sensitivity to mechanical impact None
Sensitivity to static discharge (ESD) With all spray procedures, potential to being a source of ESD.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
This product contains methylpolysiloxanes, which can generate formaldehyde at approximately
300掳 F (150掳 C), and higher temperatures, in atmospheres that contain oxygen. Formaldehyde is a
skin and respiratory sensitizer, eye and throat irritant, acute toxicant, and potential cancer hazard.
Sealed containers may rupture when heated in a fire condition. Decomposition vapors are much heavier
than air.
Section 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled Dike with earth, sand, clay, or other non-
reactive material or other inert material. Place in airtight containers for disposal. Use personal protective
equipment consistent with the situation. It is slippery on walkways; use a light solvent to clean area, to
remove trace residues, but do not let contaminated liquid get to drains, sewers, public water source, or
rainfall. Do not puncture or burn containers.
Section 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in Storage Store in tightly closed, original container. Product is a slip hazard on
walkways. Use good housekeeping and engineering practices to prevent spills. Store in cool, dry area, out
of direct sunlight. Do not puncture, burn, or heat above 120掳 F (49掳 C) either full or empty containers.
SPRAY APPLICATIONS For spray application where nuisance exposure exceeds the TLV, use a
NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator, goggles, rubber gloves, and protective clothing. Keep containers closed
to avoid contamination from airborne dust and moisture.
Handling Thoroughly wash after handling, and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco products.
Maintenance Precautions Do not remove or deface label. Keep container closed.
Other Precautions Decomposition vapor is heavier than air and can collect in low areas. Product can
cause slippery surfaces. Clean up spills promptly. Monitor floors for accumulation in overspray area; clean
as needed.

Section 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTION
GENERAL Polymer-coated apron or other body covering is recommended where there is a possibility of
regular work clothing becoming contaminated with the product. All soiled or dirty clothing and personal
protective equipment should be thoroughly cleaned before reuse.
Ventilation Usually local exhaust is not required. General room ventilation may be adequate to maintain
components below TLV/PEL, if handled at ambient temperatures, or in covered equipment. Local exhaust
ventilation or other engineering controls may be required, if ambient temperatures are exceeded, or if used
in operations that may produce mist, aerosol, or vapor.
Respiratory Protection Generally not required if ventilation is provided. If exposures exceed limits by less
than a factor of ten, use a NIOSH approved, 陆 mask facepiece respirator for particulate matter. If exposures
exceed 10 times the recommended limits, consult a professional industrial hygienist or your respiratory
protective equipment supplier for selection of the proper equipment.
Protective Gloves Polymeric materials, neoprene, etc. are materials for personal protective equipment,
gloves and clothing.
Other Protective Equipment If eye contact with the spray is possible, eye protection is recommended.
Chemical Monogoggles or safety glasses with side shields, and a face shield will provide protection in most
situations.
Other Engineering Controls Eye bath and safety shower station should be available. To determine
exposure levels, monitoring should be performed. Monitor for 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.
Avoid long-term or repeated contact. Remove and launder soiled clothing before re-use. Sudden release of
hot vapor or mist from process equipment operating at high temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of
air into hot equipment under vacuum, may result in decomposition without obvious source of heat. Evaluate
any use of this product in high-temperature processes to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
Hygienic Practices As with using any chemical product, avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing
vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area; wash hands prior to eating, drinking or using restroom after
handling or using. Any chemical product can contaminate tobacco, causing illness (from inhaling
components heated in tobacco smoke or ingested from handling tobacco and/or food products).
