Advice for firefighters

Fire Fighting Procedures: Use water spray to cool unopened containers.. Evacuate area..
Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into
drains.. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations.. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if
not contained, may cause environmental damage..
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding
environment. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so.

Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained
breathing apparatus.. Use personal protective equipment..

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective
equipment. Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.

Environmental precautions: Do not release the product to the aquatic environment above defined
regulatory levels Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Retain and dispose of
contaminated wash water. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be
contained.

Product name: DOWSIL™ 90-006-2 RF Base Issue Date: 02/17/2020

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Wipe up or scrape up and contain for
salvage or disposal. Local or national 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 regulations are applicable. For large spills, provide dyking or other appropriate containment to
keep material from spreading. If dyked material can be pumped, store recovered material in
appropriate container. Sections 13 and 15 of this SDS provide information regarding certain local or
national requirements.
See sections: 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling: Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged or
repeated contact with skin. Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the
environment. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. CONTAINERS
MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Since emptied containers retain product residue follow all
(M)SDS and label warnings even after container is emptied.
Use only with adequate ventilation. See Engineering measures under EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION section.

Conditions for safe storage: Keep in properly labelled containers. Store locked up. Store in
accordance with the particular national regulations.

Do not store with the following product types: Strong oxidizing agents.
Unsuitable materials for containers: None known.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters
If exposure limits exist, they are listed below. If no exposure limits are displayed, then no values are
applicable.
Component Regulation Type of listing Value
Octamethyl US WEEL TWA 10 ppm
Cyclotetrasiloxane

Although some of the components of this product may have exposure guidelines, no exposure would
be expected under normal handling conditions due to the physical state of the material.

Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Individual protection measures

Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields).
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or
frequently repeated contact could occur. Examples of preferred glove barrier
materials include: Butyl rubber. Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or
"NBR"). Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). Polyvinyl

Page 4 of 16
Product name: DOWSIL™ 90-006-2 RF Base Issue Date: 02/17/2020

chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Viton. Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials

include: Natural rubber ("latex"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a
particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account
all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may
be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal
protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the
instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Other protection: Wear clean, body-covering clothing.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to
exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as
respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed;
however, if handling at elevated temperatures without sufficient ventilation, use an approved
air-purifying respirator.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge
with a particulate pre-filter.

barriers). Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. Local authorities should be advised if
significant spillages cannot be contained.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent material.
Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbant. Local or national 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 regulations are applicable. For large spills,
provide dyking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If dyked material can

Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Individual protection measures

Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields).
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or frequently
repeated contact could occur. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: 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 glove
barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a
particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant
workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical
requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove
materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Other protection: Wear clean, body-covering clothing.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed
the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or
guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or
discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most
conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if material is heated or sprayed, use
an approved air-purifying respirator.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge with a
particulate pre-filter.
