First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures
General advice : In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately.
When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.

Protection of first-aiders : First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection, and use the recommended personal protective equipment when the potential for exposure exists.

If inhaled : If inhaled, remove to fresh air.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical attention immediately.

In case of skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical attention immediately.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.

In case of eye contact : In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of wa-ter for at least 15 minutes.
If easy to do, remove contact lens, if worn.
Get medical attention immediately.

If swallowed : If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting.
If vomiting occurs have person lean forward.
Call a physician or poison control centre immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media :
Alcohol-resistant foam
Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Unsuitable extinguishing media : Dry chemical
High volume water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards during fire-fighting : Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Flash back possible over considerable distance.
Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health.
Applying foam will release significant amounts of hydrogen gas that can be trapped under the foam blanket.
Applying foam initially will release significant amounts of corrosive hydrogen chloride vapors which will be reduced when uniform blanketing is achieved.
Contact with water liberates toxic gas.
Toxic vapours are evolved.

Hazardous combustion products:
Carbon oxides
Silicon oxides
Chlorine compounds
Fluorine compounds
Formaldehyde

Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters : In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal protective equipment. Wear neoprene gloves to prevent contact with hydrofluoric acid.

Specific extinguishing meth-ods :Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.
Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so.
Evacuate area.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions : Remove all sources of ignition.
Use personal protective equipment.
Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.


Environmental precautions:
Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers).
Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up : Non-sparking tools should be used.
Soak up with inert absorbent material.
Do not put water directly on spill however, water spray may be used to knock down the corrosive vapor cloud downwind of the spill area. Cover spill with medium expansion (>30:1) AFFF alcohol compatible foam. Do not allow foam to enter container. Applying foam initially will release significant amounts of corrosive hydrogen chloride vapors which will be reduced when uniform foam blanketing is achieved.
Flammable hydrogen gas may also be generated and trapped under the foam blanket.
For large spills, provide dyking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If dyked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container.
Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent.
Local or national 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 deter-mine which regulations are applicable.
Sections 13 and 15 of this SDS provide information regarding certain local or national requirements.
Recovered material should be stored in a vented container. The vent must prevent the ingress of water as further reaction with spilled materials can take place which could lead to overpressurization of the container.

Handling and storage

Technical measures : See Engineering measures under EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION section.

Local/Total ventilation :Use with local exhaust ventilation.

Advice on safe handling : Do not get on skin or clothing.
Do not breathe vapours or spray mist.
Do not swallow.
Do not get in eyes.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice, based on the results of the workplace exposure assessment
Keep container tightly closed.
Keep away from water.
Protect from moisture.
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the environment.

Hygiene measures : Ensure that eye flushing systems and safety showers are located close to the working place. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requirements for storage areas and containers
: Keep in properly labelled containers. Store in original container. Store in a closed container. Store locked up. Keep tightly closed. Keep in a dry place. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Store in accordance with the particular national regulations. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Product may evolve minute quantities of flammable hydrogen gas which can accumulate. Adequately ventilate to maintain vapors well below flammability limits and exposure guidelines. Do not repackage. Clogged container vents may increase pressure build up. In general chlorosilanes containing Silicon-Hydride (SiH) must be stored in pressurized packaging but some exceptions do exist. In any case the material should not be repacked without guidance from Dow Corning’s packaging experts.

Advice on common storage
:Do not store with the following product types:
Strong oxidizing agents
Organic peroxides
Explosives
Gases

Packaging material
: Unsuitable material: Do not store in or use containers except the original product package.

Specific use(s)
: These precautions are for room temperature handling. Use at elevated temperature or aerosol/spray applications may require added precautions.
For further information regarding the use of silicones / organic oils in consumer aerosol applications, please refer to the guidance document regarding the use of these type of materials in consumer aerosol applications that has been devel-oped by the silicone industry (www.SEHSC.com) or contact the Dow Corning customer service group.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods
Product : Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
According to the European Waste Catalogue, Waste Codes are not product specific, but application specific.
Waste codes should be assigned by the user, preferably in discussion with the waste disposal authorities.

Contaminated packaging : Empty containers should be taken to an approved waste handling site for recycling or disposal.
Empty containers retain residue and can be dangerous.
