Containment/Clean up: Determine whether to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency

plan. Observe all personal protection equipment recommendations described in
Sections 5 and 8. For large spills, provide diking or other appropriate containment to
keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered
material in appropriate container. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable
absorbant. Clean area as appropriate since some silicone materials, even in small
quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may require use of steam,
solvents or detergents. Dispose of saturated absorbant or cleaning materials
appropriately, since spontaneous heating may occur. Local, state and federal laws and
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 federal, state and local laws and regulations are applicable. Sections 13 and 15
of this MSDS provide information regarding certain federal and state requirements.

Note: See section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment for Spills. Call Dow Corning Corporation, [phone],
