SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
CONTAINMENT/ CLEANUP
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 6
(below). For large spills, provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from
spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in an appropriate container.
Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent. Clean area as appropriate, since
some silicone materials, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may
require the use of steam, solvents or detergents. Dispose of saturated absorbent 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 used in the cleanup of releases. You will need to determine which federal, state and local
regulations are applicable. See sections 13 and 15 of this MSDS.
PRSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR SPILLS
Eyes: Use proper protection 鈥? safety glasses as a minimum
Skin: Washing at mealtime and end-of-shift is adequate
Inhalation: No respiratory protection should be needed
Precautionary measures: Avoid eye contact. Use reasonable care
Comments:
When heated to temperatures above 150 degrees centigrade in the presence of air, product can
form formaldehyde vapors. Formaldehyde is a potential cancer hazard, a known skin and
respiratory sensitizer, and an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat, skin and digestive system. Safe
handling conditions can be maintained by keeping vapor concentrations within the OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit for formaldehyde.

discharged to water, it will initially form a surface film. As the product is non-volatile and
has a high binding affinity for particulate matter, it will absorb to particulates and sediment
out.
Soil: If discharged to surface water, this product will bind to sediment. If discharged in
effluent to a waste water treatment plant, the product is removed from the aqueous phase
by binding to sewage sludge. If the sewage sludge is subsequently spread on soil, the
silicone product is expected to degrade.
Degradation: This product, polydimethylsiloxane, degrades in soil abiotically to form smaller
molecules. These in turn are either biodegraded in soil or volatilized into the air where they
are broken down in the presence of sunlight. Under appropriate conditions, the ultimate
degradation products are inorganic silica, carbon dioxide and water vapor. Due to the very
low water solubility of this product, standard OECD protocols for ready and inherent
biodegradability are not suitable for measuring the biodegradability of this product. The
product is removed >80% during the sewage treatment process.
Environmental effects
Toxicity to water organisms: Based on analogy to similar materials, this product is
expected to exhibit low toxicity to aquatic organisms
Toxicity to soil organisms: Experiments show that when sewage sludge containing
polydimethylsiloxane is added to soil, it has no effect on soil micro-organisms, earthworms
or subsequent crops grown in the soil
Bioaccumulation: This product is a liquid and is a high molecular weight polymer. Due to its
physical state it is unable to pass through or be absorbed by biological membranes. This
has been confirmed by testing or analogy with similar products
Fate and effects in water treatment plants
This product or similar products have been shown to be non-toxic to sewage sludge bacteria
