DOW CORNING 200(R) FLUID, 100 CST.
Inhalation/Suitable
Respirator:
No respiratory protection should be needed.
Precautionary Measures: Avoid eye contact. Use reasonable care.
Comments: When heated to temperatures above 150 degrees C in the presence of air, product can
form formaldehyde vapors. Formaldehyde is a potential cancer hazard, a known skin and
respiratory sensitizer, and an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat, skin, and digestive system.
Safe handling conditions may be maintained by keeping vapor concentrations within the
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit for formaldehyde.
Note: These precautions are for room temperature handling. Use at elevated temperature or aerosol/spray applications may
require added precautions. For further information regarding aerosol inhalation toxicity, please refer to the guidance document
regarding the use of silicone-based materials in aerosol applications that has been developed by the silicone industry
(www.SEHSC.com) or contact the Dow Corning customer service group.
