See Toxicological Information (Section11)
Potential environmental effects
See Ecological Information (Section 12)
Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eye(s) Contact: Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove from skin
and immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if
irritation or ill effects develop or persist.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if ill effects persist.
Ingestion: Get immediate medical attention. Only induce vomiting at the instructions of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note to physician
Treatment: Treat according to person's condition and specifics of exposure.
Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure: No known applicable information.
Section 5: Fire Fighting
Measures
Flash Point: Dow Corning Adhesive: 55.9 °F (13.3 °C) Methods:
Pensky-Martens Closed Cup
Xylene: 29.444 °C (85 °F) Closed Cup.
Gridstick™ Adhesive: NE
Flammable Limits: NE
Auto-ignition point: NE
Fire Extinguishing Media: Large
fires: Use dry chemical, foam or water spray. Small fires: Use carbon
dioxide (CO2), dry chemical or water spray. Water can be used to cool fire
exposed containers.
Special Fire Fighting 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.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and may travel
to a source of ignition and flash back. Static electricity will accumulate and
may ignite vapors. Prevent a possible fire hazard by bonding and grounding or
inert gas purge.
Hazardous combustion products: May produce carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds, silicon dioxide and formaldehyde.
DOT Class: Flammable liquid
Section 6: Accidental Release
Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Remove possible
ignition sources. Use full face respirator. Follow OSHA Respirator
Regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and use NIOSH/MHSA approved respirators.
Protection provided by air purifying respirators against exposure to any
hazardous chemical is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator
if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are
unknown, or any other circumstance where air purifying respirators may not
provide adequate protection. Determine whether to evacuate or isolate the area
according to your local emergency plan. Dike or use other appropriate
containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped,
store recovered material in appropriate container. Clean up remaining materials
from spill with suitable absorbent. Clean area as appropriate since spilled
materials, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning
may require use of steam, solvents or detergents. Dispose of saturated
absorbent or cleaning materials appropriately, since spontaneous heating may
occur.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local
Regulations.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Traces of benzene (carcinogen)
may form if heated in air above 300 °F (149 °C). Provide ventilation to control
vapor exposure within inhalation guidelines when handling at elevated
temperatures. Review the OSHA benzene regulation for detailed information on
safe handling requirements. Avoid skin contact. Do not take internally. Avoid
eye contact. Avoid breathing vapor. Keep container closed and away from heat,
sparks, and flame. Static electricity will accumulate and may ignite vapors.
Prevent a possible fire hazard by bonding and grounding or inert gas purge.
Storage temperature: ND
Storage Pressure: ND
Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Ventilation required: Local and general ventilation recommended to maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits. Where concentrations are above recommended limits or are unknown, appropriate respiratory protection should be worn. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators.
Personal Protection Equipment
Respiratory protection: Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or exposure assessment demonstrates that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines.
Protective gloves: Protective
gloves made of Teflon®, Silver Shield®, Viton®, or 4H® are recommended.
Skin protection: ND
Eye protection: Chemical worker's goggles.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: ND

Section 11: Toxicological Information
Results of component toxicity test performed: A 2 year combined chronic/carcinogenicity assay was conducted on decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5). Fischer-344 rats were exposed by whole-body vapor inhalation 6 hrs/day, 5 days/week for up to 24 months to 0, 10, 40, or 160 ppm of D5. A statistically significant increase in the trend for uterine endometrial tumors was observed in female rats exposed for 24 months at 160 ppm. Whether or not this increase in incidence is truly related to the exposure to decamethylcyclopentasiloxane is questionable and yet to be determined. The 160 ppm exposure concentration greatly exceeds workplace or consumer exposure. It is unlikely that industrial, commercial or consumer uses of products containing D5 would result in a significant risk to humans. The exposure guideline will be reevaluated when a better understanding of the significance of this new data is developed. Repeated inhalation or oral exposure of mice and rats to octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane produced an increase in liver size. No gross histopathological or significant clinical chemistry effects were observed. An increase in liver metabolizing enzymes, as well as a transient increase in the number of normal cells (hyperplasia) followed by an increase in cell size (hypertrophy) were determined to be the underlying causes of the liver enlargement. The biochemical mechanisms producing these effects are highly sensitive in rodents, while similar mechanisms in humans are insensitive. Good industrial hygiene practice minimizes inhalation exposure to any chemical. Dow Corning has set an exposure guideline of 10 ppm TWA for these two materials. In developmental toxicity studies in which rats and rabbits were exposed to octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane by vapor inhalation at concentrations up to 700 ppm and 500 ppm respectively, no teratogenic effects were observed. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane administered to rats by whole body inhalation at concentrations of 500 and 700 ppm for 70 days prior to mating, through mating, gestation and lactation resulted in decreases in live litter size. Additionally, increases in the incidence of deliveries of offspring extending over an unusually long time period (dystocia) were observed at these concentrations. Statistically significant alterations in these parameters were not observed in the lower concentrations evaluated (300 and 70 ppm). In a previous range-finding study, rats exposed to vapor concentrations of 700 ppm had decreases in the number of implantation sites and live litter size. The significance of these findings to humans is not known. A 2 yr combined chronic/carcinogenicity assay was conducted on octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4). Fischer-344 rats were exposed by whole-body vapor inhalation 6 hrs/day, 5 days/week for up to 104 weeks to 0, 10, 30,150 or 700 ppm of D4. A statistically significant increase in incidence of (uterine) endometrial cell hyperplasia and uterine adenomas (benign tumors) was observed in female rats at 700 ppm. Carcinogens: Ethylbenzene (100-41-1). Tetragens: Ethylbenzene (100-41-1). Evidence of Teratogenicity (birth defects) in laboratory animals. Mutagens: Ethylbenzene (100-41-1). Genetically active IN VIVO assay(s). Reproductive effects: Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (556-67-2).
Human experience: Since these effects only occurred at 700 ppm, a level that greatly exceeds typical workplace or consumer exposure; it is unlikely that industrial, commercial or consumer uses of products containing OMCTS/D4 would result in a significant risk to humans.
This product does contain compounds listed by NTP or IARC or regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.
