First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

Protection of first-aiders: No special precautions are necessary for first aid responders.

If inhaled: inhaled, remove to fresh air.

Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

In case of skin contact:

Wash with water and soap as a precaution.

Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

In case of eye contact:

Flush eyes with water as a precaution.

Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

If swallowed:

If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting.

Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

None known.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment:Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Water spray

Alcohol-resistant foam

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dry chemical

Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards during fire-fighting:

Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health.

Hazardous combustion products:

Carbon oxides

Silicon oxides

Formaldehyde

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary. Use personal protective equipment.

Specific extinguishing methods:

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local cir-cumstances and the surrounding environment.

Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

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:

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:

Soak up with inert absorbent material.

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 determine which regulations are applicable.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Technical measures:

See Engineering measures under EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION section.

Local/Total ventilation:

Use only with adequate ventilation.

Advice on safe handling:

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice, based on the results of the workplace exposure assessment

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 accordance with the particular national regulations.

Advice on common storage:

Do not store with the following product types:

Strong oxidizing agents

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 developed by the silicone industry (www.SEHSC.com)

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.

If not otherwise specified: Dispose of as unused product.
