DOW CORNING(R) TC-5021 THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE COMPOUND
Containment/Clean up:
Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in Sections 5 and 8.
Wipe up or scrape up and contain for salvage or disposal. Materials in contact with water,
moisture, acids or bases have the potential to generate hydrogen gas. Recovered material
should be stored in a vented container. Clean area as appropriate since spilled 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. Call (989) 496-5900, if additional information is
required.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid eye contact. Avoid breathing vapor. Keep container closed.
Product may evolve minute quantities of flammable hydrogen gas which can accumulate. Adequately ventilate to
maintain vapors well below flammability limits and exposure guidelines. Do not repackage. Do not store in glass
containers which may shatter due to pressure build up. Clogged container vents may increase pressure build up. Keep
container closed and store away from water or moisture.
