Section 6 鈥? Protective Measures, Storage and Handling
Technical Protective Measures
Keep in a tightly closed container (steel or plastic) and
Storage:
store in a cool, well ventilated area away from all
incompatible materials (acids, reactive metals, and
ammonium salts). Store in a dry location away from
heat and in temperatures less than 24 ?C. Do not store in
aluminum, fiberglass, copper, brass, zinc or galvanized
containers.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid
Handling:
breathing spray mist. Use with adequate ventilation.
Do not use product if it is brownish-yellow in color.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
General room ventilation is required if used indoors.
Engineering Controls:
Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosures or other
engineering controls may be needed to maintain airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. Safety
shower and eyewash station should be within direct
access.
Use NIOSH-approved dust and mist respirator where
Respiratory Protection:
spray mist exists. Respirators should be used in
accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134.
Wear chemical resistant gloves.
Hand Protection:
Wear chemical safety goggles. A full face shield may

and do not allow entrance into the affected area. Do not
(large):
touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if
possible without risking injury. Prevent runoff from
entering into storm sewers and ditches that lead to
natural waterways. Isolate the material if at all possible.
Sand or earth may be used to contain the spill. If
containment is not possible, neutralize the contaminated
area and flush with large quantities of water.
Material is compatible with all extinguishing media.

Precautions:
Wear chemical goggles, body-covering protective
PPE:
clothing, chemical resistant gloves, and rubber boots
(see Section 6).
Sinks and mixes with water. High pH of this material
Environmental Hazards:
may be harmful to aquatic life. Only water will
evaporate from a spill of this material.
Pick-up and place in an appropriate container for
Cleanup Methods:
reclamation or disposal. US regulations (CERCLA)
require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air
in excess of reportable quantities.
Section 10 鈥? Information on Toxicology
Toxicity Data
When tested for primary eye irritation potential
Sodium Silicate:
according to OECD Guidelines, Section 405, a similar
sodium silicate solution produced corneal, iridal and
conjunctival irritation. Some eye irritation was still
present 14 days after treatment, although the average
primary irritation score has declined from 29.7 after 1
day to 4.0 after 14 days. When tested for primary skin
irritation potential, a similar sodium silicate solution
produced irritation with a primary irritation index of 3 to
abraded skin and 0 to intact skin. Human experience
confirms that irritation occurs when sodium silicates get
on clothes at the collar, cuffs, or other areas where
abrasion may exist.
The acute oral toxicity of this product has not been
tested.
LD50 Oral (rat): 319 mg/kg not a suspected carcinogen.
