Immediately contact a poison control center, emergency room or physician as further treatment may be necessary. INHALATION: No specific treatment is necessary since this material is not likely to be hazardous by inhalation. If exposed to excessive levels of dusts or fumes, remove to fresh air and get medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: None FLAMMABLE LIMITS: N/A to N/A AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not Applicable HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Smoke, fumes and oxides of carbon. FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water spray to cool containers. FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Forced combustion yields carbon and silicone oxides. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES file:///N|/MSDS/1498cwq0.htm (2 of 7)1/13/2004 11:54:05 AM MSDS Ref. No:PL1816-NTE-25F GENERAL PROCEDURES: Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a disposal container. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE GENERAL PROCEDURES: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Store in a cool dry place. HANDLING: Use with adequate ventilation. STORAGE: Store in a cool place in original container and protect from sunlight. STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Not Determined 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT EYES AND FACE: For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear splash-proof goggles. SKIN: The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection. Buna Butyl Natural Latex Neoprene Solvex Butyl Rubber Solvex RESPIRATORY: NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash hands before eating and wash before reuse. 9.
