Health Hazard Data/First Aid Procedures

Exposure Limits in Air:  No exposure limits established for product.

Effects of Single Overexposure:

    Swallowing:  Animal tests for similar silicone fluids suggest very, low acute oral toxicity. (1)

    Skin Absorption:  Animal tests for similar silicone fluids suggest very, low acute oral toxicity. (1)

    Inhalation:  This is a viscous fluid that does not easily form a mist or vapor and, therefore, inhalation hazards are minimal.

    Skin Contact:  Similar silicone fluids are non-irritating to intact and abraded rabbit skin. (1)

    Eye Contact:  Similar silicone fluids are non-irritating to rabbit eyes.  (1)  A slight transient irritation is possible.

Effects of Repeated Overexposure:  No data found.

Carcinogenicity:  This product does not contain any ingredient designated by IARC, NTP, AOGIH or OSHA as a probable human carcinogen.

Significant Laboratory Data With Possible Relevance to Man:  No data found.

Medical Conditions Possibly Aggravated by Overexposure:  No data found.

Health Hazard Data/First Aid Procedures

First Aid Procedures:

Eyes:  In case of contact, wipe off excess with a clean gauze pad or cotton and then flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes using and eyewash fountain.  Lift upper and lower lids and rinse well under them.  Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Skin:  In case of contact, wipe off excess with a clean clothe and them wash with soap and plenty of water.  Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Inhalation:  Although it would be difficult to inhale this product, seek medical attention if is should occur.

Ingestion:  If swallowed and victim is fully conscious, induce vomiting immediately by giving two glasses of water and sticking finger down throat.  Get Immediate Medical Attention.

Note to Physician:  All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient.  Considerations should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occurred.

Treat symptomatically.  No specific information found.
