HANDLING
Precautions: Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wear protective gloves. Use only outdoors or in a well-
ventilated area. Avoid breathing dust.
Special Handling Statements: Heating or curing of unused rolls or sheets of product prior to disposal is not
recommended. Heating a large mass of product can lead to a rapid decomposition reaction, generating heat,
smoke and possibly fire.
Date Prepared: 02/05/2017 Page 3 of 9PTFE Tape SDS: 0059128
STORAGE
Store in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
Storage Temperature: Room temperature
Reason: Quality.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Measures:
Engineering controls are not usually necessary if good hygiene practices are followed.
Respiratory Protection:
Where exposures are below the established exposure limit, no respiratory protection is required. Where exposures
exceed the established exposure limit, use respiratory protection recommended for the material and level of exposure.
Eye Protection:
Wear eye/face protection.
Skin Protection:
Avoid skin contact. Wear impermeable gloves.
Hand Protection:
Wear impermeable gloves. Replace gloves immediately when torn or any change in appearance (dimension, colour,
flexibility etc) is noticed.
Additional Advice:
Before eating, drinking, or smoking, wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Exposure Limit(s)
The below constituents are the only constituents of the product which have a PEL, TLV or other recommended exposure
limit. At this time, the other constituents have no known exposure limits.

Sensitization
The chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated. Direct contact is
expected to cause moderate eye and skin irritation. Inhalation exposure of this material may cause irritation to mucous
membranes and respiratory tract.
dermal Not sensitizing
The chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated. This material is
expected to have a low order of oral and dermal toxicity. The acute oral (rat) and acute dermal (rabbit) LD50 values for
Modified siloxane/silicone resin are estimated to be >2000 mg/kg, respectively. Direct contact is expected to minimal to
slight eye and skin irritation.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
The information on RCRA waste classification and disposal methodology provided below applies only to the product, as
supplied. If the material has been altered or contaminated, or it has exceeded its recommended shelf life, the guidance
may be inapplicable. Hazardous waste classification under federal regulations (40 CFR Part 261 et seq) is dependent
upon whether a material is a RCRA “listed hazardous waste” or has any of the four RCRA “hazardous waste
characteristics.” Refer to 40 CFR Part 261.33 to determine if a given material to be disposed of is a RCRA “listed
hazardous waste”; information contained in Section 15 of this MSDS is not intended to indicate if the product is a “listed
hazardous waste.” RCRA Hazardous Waste Characteristics: There are four characteristics defined in 40 CFR Section
261.21-61.24: Ignitability, Corrosivity, Reactivity, and Toxicity. To determine Ignitability, see Section 9 of this MSDS
(flash point). For Corrosivity, see Sections 9 and 14 (pH and DOT corrosivity). For Reactivity, see Section 10
(incompatible materials). For Toxicity, see Section 3 (composition). Federal regulations are subject to change. State and
local requirements, which may differ from or be more stringent than the federal regulations, may also apply to the
classification of the material if it is to be disposed. The Company encourages the recycle, recovery and reuse of
materials, where permitted, as an alternate to disposal as a waste. The Company recommends that organic materials
classified as RCRA hazardous wastes be disposed of by thermal treatment or incineration at EPA approved facilities.
The Company has provided the foregoing for information only; the person generating the waste is responsible for
determining the waste classification and disposal method.
