Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Diluted solutions of sodium silicate are strong alkaline irritants. The solid
sodium silicate is corrosive. Exposure to alkaline corrosives may result in
severe burns depending on the concentration and duration of exposure. Sodium
silicate is a type of amorphous silica and does not cause pulmonary silicosis.
Inhalation:
A strong alkaline irritant. Inhalation can cause severe irritation of mucous
membranes and upper respiratory tract. Symptoms may include burning sensation,
coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and
vomiting. High concentrations may cause lung damage.
Ingestion:
A strong alkaline irritant. Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Solid sodium silicate:
Alkaline corrosive ingestion may produce burns to the lips, tongue, oral
mucosa, upper airway, esophagus and occasionally stomach.
Skin Contact:
A strong alkaline irritant. Causes severe irritation. Symptoms include redness,
itching and pain. Dries to form a glass film which can cut skin. Solid sodium
silicate: Dermal contact with alkaline corrosives may produce pain, redness,
severe irritation or full thickness burns.
Eye Contact:
A strong alkaline irritant. Alkaline eye exposures produce severe irritation
with effects similar to those of dilute caustics. Inflammation or burns with
possible damage to the eye tissues can occur together with tearing and
considerable pain.
Chronic Exposure:
No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired respiratory function may
be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
4. First
Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before
reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting
lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire
Fighting Measures
Fire:
Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion:
Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure
demand or other positive pressure mode.
6.
Accidental Release Measures
Caution!
Floor and other surfaces may be slippery. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Contain
and recover liquid when possible. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or
absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place
in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw
dust. Do not flush to sewer!
7.
Handling and Storage
Keep in a
tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect
against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of
this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8.
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne
Exposure Limits:
Amorphous Silica, including natural diatomaceous earth:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
(80 mg/m3) / (%SiO2) (TWA).
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
10 mg/m3 (TWA) inhalable particulate;
3 mg/m3 (TWA) respirable particulate.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is
generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at
its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please
refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn
for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration
specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. A full-face piece dust/mist respirator may be worn up to
50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For
emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a
full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING:
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron
or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
