Occupational exposure limits:
Physical state: Silver/gray/grease Odor: No odor pH: Not applicable Vapor pressure: Not available Vapor density: Not available Solubility in water: < 1% Specific gravity: 2.4 - 2.7 Evaporation rate (butyl acetate=1): slower Boiling range: Not available Percent volatile: < 2.0
Overheating may cause container to rupture. Use explosion proof electrical equipment. Containers must be kept closed and ventilation provided to prevent vapor concentration build-up. Store in a cool dry place. Do not breath vapor or get liquid in eyes, or on skin and clothing. Keep away from heat or sources of ignition. Check all containers for leaks. Wear protective clothing as in section above. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors or contact with skin. Ensure that all equipment is grounded to prevent static discharge. Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied due to solid or vapor residue. All hazard precautions given in this data sheet must be observed for empty containers. Keep out of reach of children.
Stability: This product is stable. Conditions to Avoid: Contamination with incompatible materials. Incompatibility: Avoid strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and bases. Products of Decomposition: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, silicon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and incompletely burned hydrocarbons which may include traces of formaldehyde. Hazardous Polymerization: May not occur. Conditions to avoid: None known.
Emergency Overview: Silver/gray grease with no odor. This product is nonflammable. Liquid will irritate eyes and skin. Potential Health Effects: Eyes: Liquid and vapors of this product may cause temporary discomfort with mild redness. Skin: Not expected to be a skin irritant. Repeated and prolonged skin contact is not known to have any adverse effects. Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Expected to be slightly toxic by ingestion. Silver ingestion may result in generalized argyria. Inhalation: No specific information available. Not known to be a respiratory irritant. Pre-Existing Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Eye
Exposure Guidelines: CHEMICAL NAME ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL ACGIH STEL Silver 0.1 mg/m3 0.01mg/m3 NA Silicone Oil NA NA NA Work/Hygienic Practices: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to control any air contaminants to within their TLVs during the use of this product. Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles and rubber or other chemically resistant gloves when handling this material.
Eyes: Immediately flush with large amounts of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined by a Physician. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops/persists. Wash clothes separately before reuse. Ingestion: If appreciable quantities are swallowed, seek medical attention. Inhalation: Not likely route of exposure. If inhaled and irritation occurs, remove to fresh air. If irritation persists, call a Physician.
Flash Point: > 271°C/520°F (Setaflash) EL/UEL: NA (% by volume in air) Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide or dry chemicals for small fires, aqueous foam or water for large fires involving this material. Fire Fighting Instructions: Remove all ignition sources. Closed containers may rupture due to build-up of pressure when exposed to extreme heat. Fight fire from a safe distance. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure demand, OSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Large Spills: Remove all sources of ignition (sparks, open flames, etc.). Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal protective equipment. Ventilate area and contain spill with sand or other absorbent material. Collect spill by scooping up liquids and absorbent material and place in a sealed metal container for proper disposal. Do not flush to sewer. Prevent material from entering storm sewers, ditches that lead to waterways and ground. Small Spills: Absorb spill with absorbent material, then place in a sealed metal container for proper disposal. Note: A large spill is highly unlikely with this material both because of the small quantity containers and also its relatively high viscosity.
