SYLGARD(R) 184 SILICONE ELASTOMER BASE (BASE information is
below)
Local Exhaust: None should be needed.
General Ventilation: Recommended.
Dangerous Goods Class: Not applicable.
Handling Precautions: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid eye contact. Do not take
internally. Exercise good industrial hygiene practice. Wash after
handling, especially before eating, drinking or smoking.
Storage Conditions: Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing materials.
Unsuitable Packaging Materials: None established.
5.2 Spills
Personal Precautions: Avoid eye contact. Do not take internally.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or rivers by using
sand, earth or other appropriate barriers.
Methods for Cleaning up: Determine whether to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local
emergency plan. Observe all personal protective equipment
recommendations described in this MSDS. 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. 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 laws and regulations are applicable.
5.3 Waste Disposal
Product Disposal: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Packaging Disposal: Packaging should be disposed of in accordance with regional and/or
national regulations.
5.4 Stability and Reactivity
Stability: Stable.
Conditions to Avoid: None.
Materials to Avoid: Oxidizing material can cause a reaction.
Hazardous Decomposition Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds.
Products: Silicon dioxide. Formaldehyde.
Hazardous Polymerisation: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
5.5 Fire/Explosion Hazard
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.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None established.
Unusual Firefighting Hazards: None.
Special Firefighting Procedures: 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.
