Section 3: Hazard Identification

Emergency overview:

Physical Health Hazards: Eye, skin, and inhalation hazards exist.

       
         Physical state: Liquid

                  Color: Clear to straw liquid

                   Odor: Mild odor
 
         Odor threshold: No data available


Potential Health Effects:

          Routes of exposure
                         Eye contact, inhalation, skin contact

Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure:

Skin contact:
        May produce irritation or contact dermatitis which may be delayed 
        several hours.  Prompt and thorough washing with soap and water 
        will reduce or elminate potential dermal effects.

Inhalation:
       Inhalation of vapors or particulates may irritate the respiratory 
       tract. Overexposure may produce coughing, headache, and nausea.

Eye contact:
       Will cause immediate or delayed severe eye irritation, experienced 
       as discomfort or pain, tear production, inflammation of conjunctive.  
       Corneal injury may result.

Ingestion:
       Not known.

Chronic Health Effects Summary:

      Chronic toxicity:  Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane has been found
                         to be weakly mutagenic in Ames in vitro 
                         screening.  In vivo studies have shown 
                         that repeated exposure to this material, even at 
                         otherwise toxic doses, does not cause any mutagenic 
                         events.  No tumerogenic response to the chronic 
                         recurrent application of the material to the skin 
                         of mice was observed.

Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
        No known conditions are aggravated by this material.





Section 4: First Aid Measures


      Eyes:  In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with flowing water 
             for at least 15 minutes.  Get medical attention, preferably 
             from an opthalmologist.

      Skin:  Flush with water, then wash with soap and water.

Inhalation:  Move exposed individual to fresh air, call a physician.

 Ingestion:  Never give fluids or induce vomiting if patient is unconscious 
             or having convulsions. Get immediate medical attention.

Note to physician:
      This product reacts with water in the acid contents of the stomach 
      to form methanol.  The combination of visual disturbances, metabolic 
      acidosis and formic acid in urine is evidence of methanol poisoning.  
      The therapeutic intravenous administration of ethanol (10 mls/hour) 
      allows methanol to be preferentially oxidized and reduces production 
      of methanol metabolites.  Acidosis must be treated with intravenous 
      administration of sodium bicarbonate and methanol elimination may be 
      increased by hemodialysis, as indicated.  Treatments should be based 
      on blood methanol levels and acid- base balance.
