PRODUCT USE
Zeolites are the aluminosilicate members of the family of microporous solids known as "
molecular sieves" . The term refers to a particular property of these materials, i.e. the
ability to selectively sort molecules based primarily on a size exclusion process. This is
due to a very regular pore structure of molecular dimensions. The maximum size of the
molecular or ionic species that can enter the pores of a zeolite is controlled by the
diameters of the tunnels. These are conventionally defined by the ring size of the
aperture, where, for example, the term " 8ring" refers to a closed loop that is built from
8 tetrahedrally coordinated silicon (or aluminium) atoms and 8 oxygen atoms. These rings
are not always perfectly flat and symmetrical due to a variety of effects, including
strain induced by the bonding between units that are needed to produce the overall
structure, or coordination of some of the oxygen atoms of the rings to cations within the
structure. Therefore, the pore openings for all rings of one size are not identical. More
than 1500 zeolites types of been synthesized and 48 naturally occurring zeolites are
known. They are basically hydrated aluminosilicates with an " open" structure that can
accommodate a wide variety of cations such as Na+, K+,
Ca2+, Mg2+ and others. These positive ions are rather loosely held
and can readily be exchanged for others in a contact solution. Molecular sieves, filters,
adsorbents, catalysts, cation exchangers, drying agents, detergent builders, dispersing
agents. Occur naturally in sedimentary and volcanic rocks, altered basalts, ores, clay
deposits and represent a family of some 40 known materials of differing structure. General
formula M2/nO.Al2O3.ySiO2.wH2O where M is a group IA or IIA, n is the cation valence, y is
2 or greater and w is the number of molecules of water found in the interconnecting
channels or voids prominent in the structure.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
路 Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
路 Work clothes should be laundered separately. Launder contaminated clothing before re
-use.
路 Use good occupational work practice.
路 Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
路 Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure
safe working conditions are maintained.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
路 Polyethylene or polypropylene container.
路 Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Zeolites should be segregated from materials and substances having high heats of
absorption, e.g. olefins and from hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, other strong
acids and bases.
Metals and their oxides or salts may react violently with chlorine trifluoride. Chlorine
trifluoride is a hypergolic oxidiser. It ignites on contact (without external source of
heat or ignition) with recognised fuels - contact with these materials, following an
ambient or slightly elevated temperature, is often violent and may produce ignition. The
state of subdivision may affect the results.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
路 Store in original containers.
路 Keep containers securely sealed.
路 Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
路 Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
路 Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
路 Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for
protection against undissolved, dry solids.
路 polychloroprene
路 nitrile rubber
路 butyl rubber
路 fluorocaoutchouc
路 polyvinyl chloride
Gloves should be examined for wear and/ or degradation constantly.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
路 Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals;
even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by
mutual friction.
路 If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could
occur, respiratory protection should be considered.
Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in
turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively
remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min.)
drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts,
gas discharge (active generation into zone of
rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high 2.5- 10 m/s (500- 2000 f/min.)
speed wheel generated dusts (released at high
initial velocity into zone of very high rapid
air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to 1: Disturbing room air currents
capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood- local control only
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating

source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 4-10
m/s (800-2000 f/min) for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 metres distant from the
extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Although ingestion is not thought to produce harmful effects (as classified under EC
Directives), the material may still be damaging to the health of the individual,
following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g. liver, kidney) damage is
evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses
producing mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health).
Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational
setting however, ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for
concern.
EYE
Dehydrated zeolites may cause thermal burns with corneal damage.
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),
direct contact with the eye may cause transient discomfort characterised by tearing or
conjunctival redness (as with windburn). Slight abrasive damage may also result. The
material may produce foreign body irritation in certain individuals.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
SKIN
Dehydrated zeolites generate heat in contact with moisture and may produce thermal burns.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
gloves be used in an occupational setting.
INHALED
Administration of mordenite (one type of zeolite) through the windpipe, in rats, produced
mild scarring and cell proliferation. Inhalation studis showed no significant lung
inflammation or scarring.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the
respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
All workers involved in the production and use of zeolite-containing products are
potentially exposed to erionite, a fibrous form of zeolite, which is mined with deposits
of other zeolites. Animal testing showed that injection of erionite through the abdominal
or pleural cavity caused scarring and cancers. Human and animal testing both suggest that
zeolite particles can interfere with normal cell division.
There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but there is
not enough data to make an assessment.

Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The environmental exposure assessments for detergent-based zeolites were conducted using
the HERA detergent scenario (HERA, 2004). The PNEC values used in the risk assessment
were derived from the most conservative reliable NOEC values available in the study.
These long-term ecotoxicity data have confirmed the anticipation that the ecological
behaviour of the zeolite types used in detergents is very similar. The risk
characterisation ratios based upon the discussed exposure and effects data show RCR
values < 1 and, hence, do not indicate a risk for any of the environmental compartments,
i.e. water, sediment, soil and sewage treatment plants (STP).
The favourable outcome of this environmental risk assessment provides a sound basis for
the conclusion that the use of zeolites in detergent products does not pose a risk to the
environment.
