Page 2 of 13
Product name: DOWSIL™ 3165 Fast Tack RTV Adhesive Sealant Issue Date: 02/19/2020
drains.. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations..
Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding
environment. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained
breathing apparatus.. Use personal protective equipment..
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective
equipment. Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.
Environmental precautions: Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Prevent further
leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. Local
authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Wipe up or scrape up and contain for
salvage or disposal. Local or national regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material,
as well as those materials and items employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need to determine
which regulations are applicable. For large spills, provide dyking or other appropriate containment to
keep material from spreading. If dyked material can be pumped, store recovered material in
appropriate container. Sections 13 and 15 of this SDS provide information regarding certain local or
national requirements.
See sections: 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Do not get on skin or clothing. Do not swallow. Avoid contact with
eyes. Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the environment. Handle in
accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS
WHEN EMPTY. Since emptied containers retain product residue follow all (M)SDS and label warnings
even after container is emptied.
Use only with adequate ventilation. See Engineering measures under EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION section.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep in properly labelled containers. Store in accordance with the
particular national regulations.
Do not store with the following product types: Strong oxidizing agents.
Unsuitable materials for containers: None known.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Control parameters
If exposure limits exist, they are listed below. If no exposure limits are displayed, then no values are
applicable.
Page 3 of 13
Product name: DOWSIL™ 3165 Fast Tack RTV Adhesive Sealant Issue Date: 02/19/2020
The following substance(s), which have Occupational Exposure Limit(s) (OEL), may be formed during
handling or processing:
Methanol.
Although some of the components of this product may have exposure guidelines, no exposure would
be expected under normal handling conditions due to the physical state of the material.
Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Individual protection measures
Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields).
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Examples of
preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene
rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl alcohol
("PVA"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Viton. Examples of acceptable glove
barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"). NOTICE: The selection of a
specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should
also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other
chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection,
dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as
the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will
depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to
exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, use an approved respirator. When respiratory protection is
required, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-
pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply.
