Page:  3 of 7  Material Safety Data Sheet MT 705

Fire Fighting Measures:  Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn in fighting large fires involving chemicals.  Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan.  Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.  

Unusual Fire Hazards:  None.  

Hazardous Decomposition Products

Thermal breakdown of this product during fire or very high heat conditions may evolve the following hazardous decomposition products:  Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds.  Silicon dioxide.  Formaldehyde.  

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Containment/Clean up:  Determine whether to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan.  Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8.  For large spills, provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container.  Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbant.  Clean area as appropriate since some silicone 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. 

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Use with adequate ventilation.  Traces of benzene (carcinogen) may form if heated in air above 300 F (149 C).  Provide ventilation to control vapor exposure within inhalation guidelines when handling at elevated temperatures.  Review the OSHA benzene regulation for detailed information on safe handling requirements.  Avoid eye contact.  

Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing materials.
