VI. HEALTH HAZARD AND PROTECTION DATA - PART A AND PART B
A. Personal Protection Recommended: Prevent eye contact. Under recommended conditions of use, no other protection should be required. B.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
The primary route of exposure is eye contact.
Direct eye contact can cause a transitory irritation, but it is not
injurious. This irritation may persist for up to 24 hours.
Experience with this material has not indicated any serious effects
related to exposure by any route. C.
First Aid for Exposure: 1.
Eye contact: Flush with
water. Get medical attention if
irritation persists. 2.
Skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap
and water. 3.
Ingestion: Get
medical attention 4.
Inhalation: Not considered a potential hazard. D. Occupational Exposure Limits: Because of the low health hazard, no exposure limits have been established. E.
Toxicity: Because of the
low toxicity, specific toxicity data is unavailable. F. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Pre-existing eye disorders. |
|
VII. SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES - PART A AND PART B This
material does not spill or leak because of its high consistency properties.
|
|
VIII. REACTIVITY DATA A.
Stability: This material is chemically stable. Hazardous
polymerization will not occur. B. Materials to Avoid: Part B contact with strong alkali may generate flammable Hydrogen gas C. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Burning may liberate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and silicone dioxide. |
