Section 4: First-Aid Measures
Eye Contact:

Immediately flush eyes with lukewarm water for 30 minutes while
holding eyelid(s) open. If contact lenses are present, do not delay
irrigation or attempt to remove the lens. Neutral saline solution may
be used. Do not interrupt flushing. If necessary, continue flushing
during transport to emergency care facility. Take care not to rinse
contaminated water into the unaffected eye or onto the face. Seek
immediate medical attention.

Skin Contact:

Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Quickly and gently blot orbrush away excess chemical. Immediately flush with lukewarm gently
flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Decontaminate clothing. Seek
immediate medical attention.

Inhalation:

Remove person from exposure source, consult a medical professional.
If breathing is difficult, trained personnel should administer emergency
oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:

If swallowed seek medical attention immediately. Never give anythingby mouth to a person losing consciousness or convulsing. DO NOTINDUCE VOMITING. If medical attention is not available rinse mouth
thoroughly with water. Have the victim drink 2 to 8 oz. (60 to 240 mL)
of water. If vomiting occurs, lean the victim forward to reduce the riskof aspiration. Rinse mouth with water again. Obtain medical attention
immediately.

Advice to Physicians:

Treat according to person's condition and specifics of exposure.

First Aid Facilities:

Eye wash station. Safety showers.

Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media:

On large fires use dry chemical, foam or water spray. On small fires
use carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical or water spray. Water can beused to cool fire exposed containers.

Not Suitable:
Protective Equipment:

None known.
Wear standard full firefighter turn-out gear (full bunker gear) andrespiratory protection (SCBA). Determine the need to evacuate or
isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Use water
spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.

Special Hazard Arising from the Chemical:

None known.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions and PPE:

Eye protection and impervious gloves. An approved air-purifying
respirator is recommended. Do not take internally. Do not get ineyes. Do not get on skin. Do not breathe mist. Keep container
closed. Use responsible care.

Environmental Precautions:

Water contamination should be avoided.

Method for Cleaning Up:
Spill:

Determine whether to evacuate or isolate based on your local
emergency plan. Observe all Personal Protection Equipment
recommendations in Section 8. For large spills, provide diking or otherappropriate containments to keep material from spreading. If diked
material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate
container. Clean up spill with suitable absorbent. Final cleaning may
involve use of steam, solvents or detergents. Dispose of cleaningmaterials appropriately as spontaneous heating may occur. Determine
which federal, state and local laws and regulations are applicable.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions During Handling:

Avoid generating mist or dust during use. Use adequate ventilation.
Do not breathe mist. Do not take internally. Do not get in eyes. Do
not get on skin. Keep container closed.

Storage:

Do not store with acids.

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Ingredient(s):Engineering Controls:Hygiene Measures:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Respiratory:

K-Sol Potassium Methyl Siliconate
Use exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below
exposure limits.

Change contaminated clothing. Wash hands after working withsubstance. Use recommended PPE below.
When respiratory protection is required or concentrations areunknown, use an approved air-purifying respirator equipped with adust cartridge. Follow OSHA Respirator Regulations (29 CFR
1910.134) and use NIOSH/MHSA approved respirators. Protection
provided by air purifying respirators against exposure to any
hazardous chemical is limited.

Hands:

Wear impervious gloves such as neoprene.

Skin:

Wear clean body-covering clothing; impervious gloves such as
neoprene. Wash at mealtime and end of shift. Skin contact must beavoided by using impervious protective clothing (gloves, aprons,boots, etc.). Wash skin promptly upon any skin contact.

Eyes:

Wear approved safety glasses as a minimum. Use a full face respirator
for spills.
