Eye Contact: Rinse carefully with plenty of water for fifteen minutes, hold eyelids open; remove contact lenses if safe; seek medical advice if irritation continues.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If symptoms like dizziness or coughing occur, seek medical support.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Contact a physician immediately for further advice.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water mist, foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Decomposition releases carbon oxides, silicon oxides, and formaldehyde under intense heat
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, silicon oxides
Explosion Hazards: Not explosive under normal conditions; avoid spraying on open flames or hot surfaces
Personal Precautions: Prevent skin and eye contact using gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing. Avoid breathing vapor, mist, or spray.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent leakage into drains, soil, or waterways; contain spill with inert absorbents (sand, earth, vermiculite)
Cleanup Methods: Collect with inert absorbent, shovel into suitable waste container for disposal; ventilate area, wash residue with soapy water
Safe Handling: Use only with proper ventilation, avoid eye and skin exposure. Keep containers tightly closed and upright.
Storage: Store in cool, dry, ventilated location away from incompatible materials. Protect from freezing and sunlight. Retain original containers and label integrity.
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits assigned for main components; total particulates (OSHA PEL): 15 mg/m³
Engineering Controls: Install local exhaust or general ventilation to keep vapor or mist below recommended levels
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles
Skin Protection: Industrial gloves made of nitrile, latex, or neoprene
Body Protection: Long-sleeve coveralls or lab coat
Respiratory Protection: Not required under ordinary use; for major spills or prolonged use, select NIOSH-approved respirator if needed
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, arms, and face after handling and before eating or drinking

Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Silicon oxides, carbon oxides, formaldehyde if heated above 150°C
Acute Toxicity: No data on acute oral, dermal, or inhalation toxicity for the mixture; major components show low toxicity based on available information
Skin Contact: Prolonged exposure may lead to dryness, mild irritation
Eye Contact: May cause mild irritation, redness
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort
Chronic Exposure: No evidence of chronic toxicity in repeated dose studies; no human carcinogenicity data
Sensitization: Low risk of skin sensitization
Aquatic Toxicity: Silicone polymers are considered not acutely toxic to aquatic life; persistence possible
Mobility: Low, due to high molecular weight of main ingredients
