Suitable Extinguishing Media: CO2, dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray for large fires; avoid direct jet of water which may scatter the product
Specific Hazards: Flammable vapors may form mixtures with air, combustion releases carbon oxides, silicon oxides, formaldehyde, toxic fumes
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters require full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Firefighting Instructions: Isolate area, evacuate personnel, prevent runoff into drains or waterways, cool exposed containers with water spray
Explosion Data: Vapors heavier than air, spread along surfaces and flashback can occur from ignition sources
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, remove ignition sources, wear gloves, goggles, and positive-pressure respirator if necessary
Spill Response: Contain the spill with inert absorbent material like sand or earth, collect for proper disposal, clean residual with detergent and water
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers and watercourses, notify authorities if product enters waterways
Decontamination Methods: Wash area with water and detergent, ventilate before reuse
Waste Disposal Related to Spills: Dispose of all contaminated material as hazardous waste under local, regional, and federal regulations
Handling: Use in well-ventilated area, avoid contact with eyes and skin, minimize vapor inhalation, ground/bond containers to prevent static discharge, keep containers closed
Storage: Store in tightly sealed, original packaging, cool dry place away from sunlight, incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, acids, and water/moisture
Incompatible Materials: Acids, bases, oxidizers, water (can trigger uncontrolled reaction), avoid contact with aluminum and other reactive metals
Transfer Requirements: Use explosion-proof equipment and tools, transfer under local exhaust ventilation, avoid static buildup
Other Precautions: Keep away from food, beverages, and feed, prohibit smoking in storage area
Occupational Exposure Limits: No definitive exposure limits for the polymer itself; monitor for methanol (ACGIH TLV: 200 ppm TWA)
Engineering Controls: Enclosed process equipment, local exhaust ventilation, explosion-proof electrical fixtures
Personal Protective Equipment:

Boiling Point/Range: 92–120 °C (dependent on composition)
Flash Point: 62–67 °C (closed cup, for main components)
Evaporation Rate: Not established
Flammability: Liquid, flammable under certain conditions
Vapor Pressure: 3–8 mmHg at 25 °C
Vapor Density: Heavier than air
Relative Density: 1.02–1.10
Solubility: Reacts with water, limited solubility in alcohols and ethers

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Methanol, formaldehyde, silicon dioxide, carbon oxides
Hazardous Polymerization: Not expected under normal conditions
Other Information: Avoid long-term storage; keep containers sealed to avoid moisture-induced hydrolysis
Acute Toxicity (Oral, Dermal, Inhalation): Polymer not acutely toxic; methanol byproduct has known oral LD50 (rat): 5628 mg/kg, inhalation LC50 (rat, 4h): 128.2 mg/l
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes moderate irritation, dryness, or redness
Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes marked irritation, possible redness, and discomfort

Reproductive Toxicity: Not expected at normal occupational exposures
Chronic Effects: Prolonged exposure to vapors may cause central nervous system effects
Additional Data: Interviews with exposed workers report skin defatting and episodes of sensitivity; always use with personal protective measures
Aquatic Toxicity: Hydrolyzes rapidly to methanol and silanol compounds; methanol toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects
Persistence and Degradability: Moderately fast hydrolysis in presence of water; polymer breakdown leads to siloxanes and silanols, which further degrade; methanol persists in water
Bioaccumulative Potential: No significant potential in polymer; methanol has low potential for bioaccumulation
