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 imtation or full thickness bums. Eye Contact: A strong alkaline irritant. Alkaline eye exposures produce severe imtation with effects similaz 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. Storage Considerations: Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a coo], dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazazdous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. Environmental Toxicity: No information found. Disposal Considerations: Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state and local requirements. Areo Float Disposal Considerations: The information on RCRA waste classification and disposal methodology provided below applies only to the Cytec product, as supplied. If the material has been altered or contaminated, or it has exceeded its recommended shelf life, the guidance may be inapplicable. Hazazdous waste classification under federal regulations (40 CFR Part 261 et seq) is dependent upon whether a material is a RCRA "listed hazazdous waste" or has any of the four RCRA "hazazdous waste characteristics." Refer to 40 CFR Part 261.33 to determine if a given material to be disposed of is a RCRA "listed hazardous waste." RCRA Hazardous Waste Characteristics: There are four characteristics defined in 40 CFR Section 261.21-61.24: Ignitability, Corrosivity, Reactivity, and Toxicity. Federal regulations are subject to change. Stale and local requirements, which may differ from or be more stringent than the federal regulations, may also apply to the classification of the material if it is to be disposed. Cytec encourages the recycle, recovery and reuse of materials, where permitted, as an alternate to disposal as a waste. Cytec recommends that organic materials classified as RCRA hazardous wastes be disposed of by thermal treatment or incineration at EPA approved facilities. Cytec has provided the foregoing for information only; the person generating the waste is responsible for determining the waste classification and disposal method.
