Containment/Clean up: Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8.
Wipe up or scrape up and contain for salvage or disposal. 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 absorbant or cleaning
materials appropriately, since spontaneous heating may occur. Local, state and federal laws
and 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 federal,
state and local laws and regulations are applicable. Sections 13 and 15 of this MSDS provide
information regarding certain federal and state requirements.
Note: See Section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment for Spills. Call (989) 496-5900, if additional information is
required.
Use with adequate ventilation. Product evolves flammable methyl alcohol when exposed to water or humid air. Provide
ventilation during use to control exposure within Section 8 guidelines or use air-supplied or self-contained breathing
apparatus. Avoid eye contact. Avoid skin contact. Avoid breathing vapor, mist, dust, or fumes. Keep container closed.
Do not take internally.
Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing materials. Keep container closed and store away from water or
moisture. This material in its finely divided form presents an explosion hazard. Follow NFPA 654 (for chemical dusts) or
484 (for metal dusts) as appropriate for managing dust hazards to minimize secondary explosion potential.
Methyl alcohol forms on contact with water or humid air. Provide adequate ventilation to control exposures within
guidelines of OSHA PEL: TWA 200 ppm and ACGIH TLV-skin: TWA 200 ppm, STEL 250 ppm.

Skin: Wash at mealtime and end of shift. If skin contact occurs, change contaminated clothing as
soon as possible and thoroughly flush affected areas with cool water. Chemical protective
gloves are recommended.
Suitable Gloves: Avoid skin contact by implementing good industrial hygiene practices and procedures. Select
and use gloves and/or protective clothing to further minimize the potential for skin contact.
Consult with your glove and/or personnel protective equipment manufacturer for selection of
appropriate compatible materials.
Inhalation: Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or exposure
assessment demonstrates that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines. IH
personnel can assist in judging the adequacy of existing engineering controls.
Suitable Respirator: General and local exhaust ventilation is 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.
Skin: Wash at mealtime and end of shift. If skin contact occurs, change contaminated clothing as
soon as possible and thoroughly flush affected areas with cool water. Chemical protective
gloves are recommended.
Inhalation/Suitable Respiratory protection recommended. Follow OSHA Respirator Regulations (29 CFR
Respirator: 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.
Precautionary Measures: Avoid eye contact. Avoid skin contact. Avoid breathing vapor, mist, dust, or fumes. Keep
container closed. Do not take internally. Use reasonable care.

oxides. Nitrogen oxides.
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane administered to rats by inhalation at concentrations of 500 and 700 ppm resulted in
statistically significant decreases in the number of pups born and the live litter size in both the first and second
generations. Prolonged estrous cycles, and decreased mating and fertility indices were observed following 700 ppm
exposure in the second generation only. There were also increases in the incidence of deliveries of offspring extending
over an unusually long time period (dystocia).
Results from a 2 year repeated vapour inhalation exposure study to rats of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) indicate
effects (benign uterine adenomas) in the uterus of female animals. This finding occurred at the highest exposure dose
(700 ppm) only.
Studies to date have not demonstrated if these effects occur through pathways that are relevant to humans.
Based on the available information on its potential to cause harm to human health, Health Canada, in a 2008 screening
assessment, has concluded that octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane is not entering the environment in a quantity or
concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health
(http://www.ec.gc.ca/substances/ese/eng/challenge/batch2/batch2_556-67-2.cfm).
Repeated exposure in rats to D4 resulted in what appears to be protoporphyrin accumulation in the liver. Without
knowledge of the specific mechanism leading to the protoporphyrin accumulation the relevance of this finding to humans
is unknown.
This material contains methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS). MTMS was evaluated in a combined repeated-dose toxicity study
with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD 422). Sprague-Dawley rats were gavaged daily at
dose levels of 0, 50, 250, and 1000 mg MTMS (in corn oil)/kg body weight. Test article-related effects were seen in one or
both sexes at the two top dose levels (unless otherwise noted) and included (but not limited to): increased liver weights;
increased incidence of hyperplasia and/or hypertrophy in the liver, thyroid and adrenals (high dose only); acanthocytosis
(high dose only); increased prothrombin time; elevations in blood platelet count (high dose only), serum total protein and
cholesterol. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was determined to be 50 mg/kg/day for parental toxicity and
1000 mg/kg/day for effects on reproductive performance and on developmental toxicity.
In a 90-day study, five (5) groups of 10 male and 10 female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to target
methyltrimethoxysilane concentrations of 0 (control), 25, 100, 400 and 1600 ppm for groups 1 through 5, respectively, for
six hours per day, five days per week. Additional satellite groups of 10 males and 10 females were included in the 0 and
