Section 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Extremely flammable aerosol. Flammable gases are heavier than air and will collect in closed areas. Acute and
chronic inhalation hazard. Pressurized containers. Causes slippery floors, which can cause slips and falls.
Emergency Overview: Colorless to white aerosol. Toxic fumes released in fire situations. Harmful if inhaled. Can
cause death if too much is breathed.
Section 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (continued)
HEALTH EFFECTS - Acute and Chronic
Inhalation: HARMFUL IF INHALED. Central Nervous System (CNS) depression with anaesthetic effects such as
dizziness, headache, confusion, incoordination, and loss of consciousness. Higher exposures to vapors may cause
temporary alteration of the heart's electrical activity, with irregular pulse, palpitations, or inadequate circulation; or
fatality from gross overexposure. May cause temporary lung irritation effects.

Section 3 鈥? HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (continued)
Ingestion: Because of the nature of the product, ingestion is unlikely.
Eyes: Irritation.
Skin: Irritation, defatting, dermatitis. NOTE: Direct contact with spray can result in frostbite.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation, Skin, Eye
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Not fully determined: however, exposure may aggravate
diseases of the central nervous system, heart rhythm or other cardiovascular diseases, or pulmonary diseases. If a
person has one or more of these problems, consult medical personnel to determine what steps should be taken.
Section 4 鈥? FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Eye Contact: Flush eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
Skin Contact: Do not apply directly to skin. Promptly flush area with water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
administer oxygen. Keep patient warm and quiet. **Get Medical Attention Immediately**
Ingestion: An unlikely route of entry. However, if ingested, **Get Medical Help at once** Aspiration into lungs can
cause chemical pneumonia. **Induce vomiting ONLY IF advised by physician.**
**Note to Medical Personnel**
Because of increased risk of disturbances of cardiac rhythm, Catecholamine drugs (Epinephrine, Adrenaline) should
be used only with special caution and only in situations of emergency life support and only as a last resort.
Section 5 鈥? FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (Method Used)........................... <0潞F Flammable Limits* LEL= 1% UEL=18%
*Flammability limits are reported for the components with the lowest LEL and highest UEL.
Autoignition temperature .............................. not determined
Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Foam, Dry Chemical, Water Fog. Using water to cool exposed containers
may be useful.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full
face piece operated in positive pressure mode. See decomposition products.
At elevated temperatures (> 130掳 F) aerosol containers may burst, vent or rupture. Use equipment or shielding to
protect personnel against bursting, rupturing or venting containers. Cooling with water streams may be helpful.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: The spray and its vapors are extremely flammable. Vapors are heavier than
air and will accumulate in boxes, drums or other enclosed areas beneath the spray. Static-electric sparks can ignite
collected vapors or the spray. Use caution where static-electric sparks can occur, including around spinnerettes and
extrusion dies. Ensure enough ventilation to avoid vapor accumulation. Do not spray above enclosed areas.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Not determined, however silicon oxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
hydrofluoric acid, fluorine, formaldehyde, and carbonyl fluoride would be expected.

Section 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area to reduce concentration of the components below their exposure limits.
Use protective equipment consistent with the situation. Pick up the spill; store in closed containers for proper
disposal. Remove residue to prevent a slippery condition developing.
Section 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Store all industrial chemicals away from food and beverages.
Store below 120潞F in cool, dry area, out of direct sunlight and away from strong oxidizers. Do not puncture or burn.
Maintenance Precautions: Do not remove or deface label.
Other Precautions: Flammable vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas. Read and follow directions
and cautions on the container label, and any accompanying literature. 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: If clothing is likely to be contaminated, wear polymer-coated apron or other body covering.
Ventilation: Local exhaust, or mechanical or special ventilation to maintain exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection: Generally not required if sufficient ventilation is provided. If the exposure limits of the
product or any of its components are exceeded, an approved organic vapor mask should be used (consult your
safety equipment supplier).
Protective Gloves: If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, wear solvent-resistant gloves.
Other Protective Equipment: If contact with the spray is likely, wear eye protection. 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. Eyewash station
should be available. Overspray is slippery and is difficult to fully remove from floors. Avoid overspray.
Work Practices: Do not use in confined or closed space. Ventilation should maintain the concentration of the
product and its components below their exposure limits. We consider it good practice to limit exposure to less than
the OSHA 5 mg/m3 TWA oil mist limit.
Hygienic Practices: Avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area.
Wash hands before eating, drinking, or using restroom after using this or any chemical product.
NOTE
This product contains methylpolysiloxanes, which can generate formaldehyde at about 300掳 F (150掳 C) and above,
in atmospheres that contain oxygen. Formaldehyde is a skin and respiratory sensitizer, eye and throat irritant, acute
toxicant, and potential cancer hazard.
