Silicone Resin SC4003E, Part A
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards Containers can burst violently or explode when heated, due to excessive pressure build-up.
Hazardous combustion
products
Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances:
Harmful gases or vapours.
Advice for firefighters
Protective actions during
firefighting
Avoid breathing fire gases or vapours. Evacuate area. Cool containers exposed to heat with
water spray and remove them from the fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers
exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use
water spray to disperse vapours and protect men stopping the leak.
Special protective equipment
for firefighters
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective
clothing. Firefighter's clothing conforming to Australia/New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 4967
(for clothing) AS/NZS 1801 (for helmets), AS/NZS 4821 (for protective boots), AS/NZS 1801
(for protective gloves) will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions No action shall be taken without appropriate training or involving any personal risk. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from the spillage. Wear protective clothing as
described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Follow precautions for safe handling
described in this safety data sheet. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage.
Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge to the aquatic environment. Large Spillages: Inform the relevant authorities if
environmental pollution occurs (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Clear up spills
immediately and dispose of waste safely. Reuse or recycle products wherever possible.
Approach the spillage from upwind. Small Spillages: If the product is soluble in water, dilute
the spillage with water and mop it up. Alternatively, or if it is not water-soluble, absorb the
spillage with an inert, dry material and place it in a suitable waste disposal container. Large
Spillages: If leakage cannot be stopped, evacuate area. Flush spilled material into an effluent
treatment plant, or proceed as follows. Contain and absorb spillage with sand, earth or other
non-combustible material. Place waste in labelled, sealed containers. Clean contaminated
objects and areas thoroughly, observing environmental regulations. Flush contaminated area
with plenty of water. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage. Dispose of waste to
licensed waste disposal site in accordance with the requirements of the local Waste Disposal
Authority.
