Information on a proprietary mixture containing polydimethylsiloxanes, plasticisers, amorphous silica, Composition organosilanes, inorganic pigments, and organotin compounds. Other Information Methylethylketoxime is released during cure.

Acute- Swallowed May cause irritation to mouth, throat and stomach.
Acute Eye A moderate eye irritant.
Acute Skin Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to irritation.
Acute Inhaled High concentrations of vapour may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Chronic Chronic exposure to vapours may cause inflammation of the nose, mouth, throat and bronchi.
(No vapour is emitted after full cure).
   
Swallowed Give water or milk to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical assistance.
Eye Irrigate with copious quantity of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical assistance if symptoms persist.
Skin Wash with plenty of soap and water.
