If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. 

Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical attention. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. 

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. 

Contact local poison control center or physician immediately. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. Give large amounts of water or milk. Allow vomiting to occur. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to side. Get medical attention immediately. 

For inhalation, consider oxygen. Avoid gastric lavage or emesis. 

See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Severe fire hazard. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive above flash point. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources and flash back. 

regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular foam Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Do not get water inside container. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). 

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Do not get water inside container. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Remove sources of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Grounding and bonding required. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. 

Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider warning properties before use. Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. 

organic solvents 

Avoid contact with water or moisture. Reacts violently with water to generate toxic and/or flammable gases. May polymerize. Avoid contact with air, light, water or storage and use above room temperature. 

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Minimize contact with material. Keep out of water supplies and sewers.

Component Carcinogenicity

None of this product's components are listed by ACGIH, IARC, NTP, DFG or OSHA

VINYL TRICHLOROSILANE: Inhalation of acidic substances may cause severe respiratory irritation with coughing, choking, and possibly burns of the mucous membranes Other initial symptoms may include dizziness, headache, nausea, and weakness Pulmonary edema may be immediate in the most severe exposures, but more likely will occur after a latent period of 5-72 hours, as a slowly progressive, but marked inflammatory reaction takes place The symptoms may include tightness in the chest, dyspnea, dizziness, frothy sputum, and cyanosis Physical findings may include hypotension, weak, rapid pulse, moist rales, and hemoconcentration In non-fatal cases, complete recovery may occur within a few days or weeks or, convalescence may be prolonged with frequent relapses and continued dyspnea and other signs and symptoms of pulmonary insufficiency In severe exposures, death due to anoxia may occur within a few hours after onset of the symptoms of pulmonary edema or following a relapse.

VINYL TRICHLOROSILANE: Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure, repeated or prolonged exposure to an acidic substance may cause erosion of the teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth, and possibly jaw necrosis Bronchial irritation with cough and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia may occur Gastrointestinal disturbances are also possible.

VINLY TRICHLOROSILANE: A single application caused severe irritation in rabbits Exposure to 680 mg/kg was lethal to rabbits Direct contact with acidic substances may cause severe pain, burns, and possibly brownish or yellowish stains Burns may be deep with sharp edges and heal slowly with scar tissue formation.

VINLY TRICHLOROSILANE: Effects depend on the concentration and duration of exposure Repeated or prolonged contact with acidic substances may result in dermatitis or effects similar to acute exposure.

VINYL TRICHLOROSILANE: Vapors may be severely irritating A single drop of some chlorosilanes caused severe irritation in rabbits Direct contact with acidic substances may cause pain, lacrimation, photophobia, and burns, possibly severe The degree of injury depends on the concentration and duration of contact In mild burns, the epithelium regenerates rapidly and the eye recovers completely In severe cases, the extent of injury may not be fully apparent for several weeks Ultimately, the whole cornea may become deeply vascularized and opaque resulting in blindness In the worst cases, the eye may be totally destroyed.

VINYL TRICHLOROSILANE: Effects depend on the concentration and duration of exposure Repeated or prolonged exposure to acidic substances may cause conjunctivitis or effects as in acute exposure.

VINLY TRICHLOROSILANE: Ingestion to 1280 mg/kg was lethal to rats Acidic substances may cause circumoral burns with discoloration and corrosion of the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus There may be immediate pain and difficulty or inability to swallow or speak Epiglottal edema may result in respiratory distress and possibly asphyxia Marked thirst, epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur Depending on the degree of esophageal and gastric corrosion, the vomitus may contain fresh or dark precipitated blood and large shreds of mucosa Shock with marked hypotension, weak, rapid pulse, shallow respiration, and clammy skin may occur Circulatory collapse may ensue, and if uncorrected, lead to renal failure In severe cases, gastric, and to a lesser degree, esophageal perforation and subsequent peritonitis may occur and be accompanied by fever and abdominal rigidity Esophageal, gastric, and pyloric stricture may occur within a few weeks, but may be delayed for months or even years Death may result within a short time from asphyxia, circulatory collapse or aspiration of even minute amounts Later death may be due to peritonitis, severe nephritis or pneumonia Coma and convulsions sometimes occur terminally.

VINLY TRICHLOROSILANE Depending on the concentration, repeated ingestion of acidic substances may result in inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mucous membranes of the mouth and other effects as in acute ingestion.
