Section 2: Composition

Component Name          CAS #          Percent          EINECS/ELINCS
Silicon monoxide        10097-28-6     100%             233-232-8


Section 3: Hazard Identification

Appearance: Black solid

Flash Point: n/a 

Target Organs: May affect the respiratory system.

Potential Health Effects
To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological properties
of silicon monoxide have not been fully investigated.

Eye: May cause abrasive irritation, characterized by redness, itching and
watering.

Skin: May cause abrasive irritation, characterized by redness.

Ingestion: No acute health effects recorded.

Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory system, characterized
by coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, change in breathing capacity and
cyanosis.

Chronic: Chronic inhalation may cause pneumoconiosis, pulmonary fibrosis
and silicosis.


Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with lukewarm water, lifting eyelids, for at least 15
minutes.  Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Skin: remove contaminated clothing. Brush material off skin and wash
affected area with mild soap and water.  Seek medical attention if symptoms
persist.

Ingestion: No acute or chronic health effects are known by ingestion. 

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is
difficult.  Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.


Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

General Information:
Silicon monoxide may emit toxic fumes if involved in a fire. May be flammable
and possibly pyrophoric on contact with air at extremely elevated temperatures.
Fire fighters must wear full face, self-contained breathing apparatus with full
protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Fumes from fire are
hazardous. Isolate runoff to prevent environmental pollution.

Extinguishing Media:
Not applicable. Use suitable extinguishing media for surrounding materials and
type of fire.


Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

General Information:
Wear appropriate respiratory and protective equipment.

Spills/Leaks:
Isolate spill area. Provide ventilation. Vacuum up spill using high efficiency
particulate absolute (HEPA) air filter and place in a closed container for proper
disposal.  Do not raise dust. Dispose of in accordance with all federal, state
and local regulations.


Section 7: Handling and Storage

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. 

Storage:
Store in cool, dry area in tightly closed containers.

Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls:
Use local exhaust to maintain concentration at low exposure levels.

Exposure Limits: 

No exposure limits listed for ACGIH, NIOSH, OSHA.
