Silicone SILASTIC™ 3481

Get the person into fresh air and let them breathe comfortably; consult a doctor.

Wash up with plenty of water.

Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the first 1-2 minutes and continue rinsing for several minutes. Consult a doctor if side effects occur, preferably an ophthalmologist.

Rinse mouth with water. No urgent medical treatment needed.

Water jet, Alcohol-resistant foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Drying powder.

Exposure to combination products can be hazardous to health.

Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Evacuate. Collect contaminated firefighting water separately. It should not drain to the sewerage system. Use extinguishing agents suitable for the local conditions and environment. Remove undamaged holder from fire area if it is safe to do so.

Follow the advice on working safely with the substance and recommendations on personal protective equipment.

To prevent material from spreading, appropriate barricades or other suitable containment should be used for large spills.

Discharge into the environment should be avoided. Avoid further leaks and spills if it is safe to do so. Collect and remove contaminated cleaning water.

Absorb in inert absorbent material. Wipe with absorbent material or pick it up and dispose of in a lidded bin. If material can be pumped out, the collected material should be stored in appropriate containers.

Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not swallow. Avoid persistent or repeated contact with skin. Prevent leaks and spread into the environment and minimise the amount released. Use according to common rules and practices related to industrial hygiene and safety. EMPTY DRUMS CAN BE DANGEROUS. Empty drums contain product residues. Follow all product safety and label regulations, even if the vessel is empty.

Store in correctly labelled containers. Keep behind lock. Store according to relevant national regulations.

Use according to common rules and practices related to industrial hygiene and safety.

Provide local exhaust ventilation, or other technical measures to keep atmospheric concentrations below limit values. If no limits exist, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local extraction may be necessary for some work.

Use non-permeable gloves for this substance if persistent or regularly repeated contact may occur. Use chemical-resistant gloves, classified under EN374: gloves for protection against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of barrier glove materials to be preferred: Butyl rubber Neoprene, Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"), Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"), Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"), Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"), Viton. Examples of acceptable barrier glove materials include: Natural rubber (latex). When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, gloves with a protection class 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) are recommended. Glove thickness alone is not a good indicator of the level of protection a glove gives against a chemical, as this level of protection is also highly dependent on the specific composition of the material the glove is made of. Depending on the material model and type, the thickness of the glove should generally be more than 0.35 mm. to provide sufficient protection in continuous and regular contact with the fabric. As an exception to this general rule, multilayer laminate gloves are known to provide further protection at thicknesses below 0.35 mm. Other glove materials with a thickness less than 0.35 mm. can provide sufficient protection when only brief contact is expected.

Use safety glasses with side shields. Safety glasses with side shields must comply with standard EN 166 or a similar standard.

A respirator should be worn when there is a risk of exceeding exposure limits. If no exposure limits or guidelines exist, use an approved respirator if adverse effects (such as respiratory irritation) or discomfort occur, or when indicated by your risk assessment process. Respiratory protection should not be required for most conditions. In case of discomfort use and approved air purifying device. Use EC-approved respirator: Filter for organic vapours, type A (boiling point > 65°C, must comply with standard EN 14387).

Wear clean body-covering clothes with long sleeves.

See SECTION 7: Handling and storage and SECTION 13: Instructions for disposal measures to prevent overexposure to the environment during use and waste disposal.

Stable under normal conditions.

Not classified as hazardous due to reactivity.

May react with strongly oxidising substances.

Nothing known.

Avoid contact with oxidising substances.

Decomposition products may include - among others - the following: Formaldehyde.

Do not discharge into sewers, soil or surface water.
