Impurities: Residual siloxane, Non-hazardous fillers
Exact Composition: Confidential business information as permitted by local regulations

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, seek medical attention if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with plenty of water and mild soap, get medical advice if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if easy, continue rinsing, get prompt medical attention
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice immediately
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically, monitor for delayed effects due to methanol generation

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam, water spray
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water jets
Special Hazards: Combustion may produce carbon oxides, silicon oxides, formaldehyde, traces of methanol
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear including self-contained breathing apparatus
Advice for Firefighters: Contain runoff to prevent environmental contamination, cool containers exposed to fire

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, avoid contact with skin and eyes, use personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from reaching drains, watercourses, soil
Spill Response: Absorb liquid with inert material, place in suitable containers for disposal
Cleanup Methods: Clean contaminated area with water and detergent, avoid powdered cleaning agents
Safe Disposal: Use approved waste disposal methods for contaminated materials

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use in well-ventilated area, minimize contact to skin and eyes, avoid inhalation of vapors, open containers slowly
Technical Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation if needed, ground and bond containers during transfer
Storage: Keep container tightly closed, store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, avoid strong oxidizing agents
Incompatibles: Avoid storing with acids, alkalis, oxidizers
Storage Stability: Maintain controlled temperature to avoid hydrolysis or polymerization, protect from moisture

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: Methanol ACGIH TLV: 200 ppm TWA (monitor during curing process)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust or general ventilation
