| First Aid Measures | Back to Contents | 【Ingestion】
Significant toxicity is not anticipated after ingestion. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Consider activated charcoal only after very large ingestions. The target organs for migrating silicones have been chiefly the liver and lungs. In most cases, aggressive supportive care has been adequate to handle the immediate problem. No specific antidotes exist. No treatment is necessary for oral ingestion. Activated charcoal: administer charcoal as a slurry (240 ml water/30 g charcoal). Usual dose: 25 to 100 g in adults/adolescents. | 【Inhalation】
Inhalation hazard is low due to the low vapor pressure of most silicone fluids. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. | 【Skin】
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse. | 【Eyes】
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical attention. |
| Handling and Storage | Back to Contents | 【Storage】
Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage. | 【Handling】
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. |
| Hazards Identification | Back to Contents | 【Inhalation】
Silicone injection has been associated with the development of fatal pulmonary edema, pneumonitis, pleural effusion, ards and dyspnea. | 【Skin】
Hypopigmentation and peau d'orange skin changes have been reported after silicone injection or implantation. |
| Exposure Controls/Personal Protection | Back to Contents | 【Personal Protection】
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Whre chemical resistant gloves. To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots. | 【Respirators】
Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator appropriate for exposure of concern. | 【Exposure Effects】
The toxological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. |
| Fire Fighting Measures | Back to Contents | 【Fire Fighting】
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. |
| Accidental Release Measures | Back to Contents | 【Small spills/leaks】
Evacuate area and ventilate. Wear protective equipment. If required, use an inert absrobent. Sweep up and place in an appropriate container for disposal. Wash contaminated surfaces. |
