with agricultural chemicals targeted for foliar applications.
None
3. Hazards Identification
Important hazards:
None
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Skin Contact:
Eye Contact:
Harmful if inhaled. No adverse effects expected to static vapor
at room temperature. Inhalation of an aerosol of pure material
in a confined space could cause breathing problems and eye
damage. The spray can cause: damage to the respiratory
tract, eye injury, injury to the nasal cavity, injury to blood
forming system. Prolonged exposure and / or repeated
exposure may cause the following effects: damage to the
respiratory tract, eye injury, injury to the nasal cavity, injury to
the blood system. Remove patient to fresh air. Respiration
and / or artificial oxygen may be necessary. Get medical help
immediately.
Can cause skin irritation. Wash with soap and water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. See a doctor if an allergic
reaction noticed.
Causes eye irritation. Can have the following effects: pain,
excessive blinking, tear production, excessive redness of the
conjunctiva, inflammation of the conjunctiva, inflammation of
the iris. These effects should be resolved in two weeks. It may
be an injury to the cornea. Prolonged exposure to vapor or
aerosol may cause discomfort. Steam can cause blurred
vision.

These effects will be resolved within hours. Flush with water
for at least 15 minutes. See a doctor if an allergic reaction
noticed. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
Ingestion can cause liver damage or injury to the thyroid,
kidney damage, damage to blood forming system, injuries to
male and female reproductive systems. Prolonged and / or
repeated contact may result in: liver damage or injury to the
thyroid, kidney damage, injury to blood forming system,
injuries to male and female reproductive systems. : If
conscious, drink plenty of water. Get medical help
immediately.

10. Stability and Reactivity
Hazardous decomposition products:
Materials to avoid:
Conditions to avoid:
Carbon oxides, silicon oxides and formaldehyde,
carbon monoxide is highly toxic if inhaled, the carbon
dioxide in sufficient concentrations can act as an
asphyxiant.; acute over-exposure to combustion
products may result in irritation of the respiratory tract.;
This product contains methylpolysiloxanes which can
generate formaldehyde at approximately 300 ° F (150
° C) and more in oxygen containing atmospheres.
Formaldehyde is a sensitizer of the skin and
respiratory irritant of the eyes and throat, acute toxic
potential cancer hazard.
