SODIUM SILICATE 75TW
1. Identification of the preparation/Supplier reference
Trade Name Sodium Silicate 75tw
Chemical name SiO2/Na2O
Synonyms Also known as; Grade M75, Silicate of Soda, Water Glass.

Internet: sales@bathpotters.co.uk
2. Composition
Component CAS EINECS % of composition
Sodium Silicate 1344-09-8 N/A 97.5%
3. Health Hazard Identification
Inhalation Strong alkaline liquid, inhalation is unlikely but if occurs will cause chemical burns. Inhalation of mists will cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Ingestion If ingestion occurs it will cause chemical burns in the mouth and throat, inability to swallow, and irritation of the gastro intestinal tract with nausea and vomiting. The damage will be greater with hot solutions.
Eyes Severe irritant causing chemical burns with physical irritation and inflammation, which may cause corneal damage.
Skin Will cause chemical burns with physical irritation such as reddening, inflammation and dryness.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation
Remove patient to fresh air, loosen tight clothing and seek medical attention.
Ingestion
Wash mouth out with water and give copious quantities of water or milk to drink. Do not induce vomiting, and obtain immediate medical attention.
Eyes
Speed is essential. The eye should be thoroughly irrigated for not less than 20 minutes with clean water. This prolonged irrigation is of extreme importance and must be done at once otherwise permanent damage will result. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with copious amounts of water until no soapy feeling remains. If symptoms develop seek medical attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media
Suitable for surrounding fire conditions
The product is not explosive or combustible. Standard fire fighting techniques only are required, i.e. water, sand, carbon dioxide, chemical foam extinguishers etc.
Special Exposure hazard
None
Protective equipment
None other than required for surrounding fire conditions
6. Accidental Release Measures
Leaks & Spills
Protective equipment
Wash down spills of liquor with copious quantities of water. Remove dry materials either by a vacuum cleaner fitted with an efficient particulate filter or by damping down and scooping in to a receptacle.
Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection and respiratory protective equipment required for dry or liquid spills.
7. Handling & Storage
Handling
Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where the material is used. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Atmospheric levels of mist should be maintained at the lowest level reasonably practicable. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended to comply with occupational exposure limits (refer to Guidance Note EH40 - latest edition)
Storage
Should be stored in closed steel or other suitable vessels, which prevent free circulation of air over the surface of the silicate. Drums must be kept closed when not in use. If not exposed to the atmosphere obelisk solutions will keep indefinitely. They should not be packed in containers which may be attacked by or which absorb moisture from the solution. Contact with wood will cause discolouration. All grades absorb carbon dioxide on exposure to the atmosphere and the higher ratio grades also lose water resulting in the formulation of a gel, the solution first becoming cloudy and eventually turning solid. Dilute solutions may be frozen and at low temperatures ice crystals separate and rise to the surface. The solutions may be reconstituted by warming and agitating with no change in properties.
The more viscous grades should be stored in a warm building before use to facilitate handling.
8. Exposure Control/Personal protective Equipment
Engineering controls
Adequate ventilation should be provided so that Occupational Exposure Limits are not exceeded, although Sodium Silicate is not listed. Local Exhaust Ventilation is normally recommended
Personal protective equipment
Where LEV is not practicable and exposure is likely to be excessive, approved respiratory protection to CEN standards prEN 140, 141, 143 or 149 should be worn. Protective PVC gloves and safety spectacles are recommended for handling. When using hot solutions, the use of a full-face shield is recommended.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
SODIUM SILICATE 140TW
1. Identification of the preparation/Supplier reference
Trade Name Sodium Silicate 140tw
Chemical name SiO2/Na2O
Synonyms Also known as; Grade C140, Silicate of Soda, Water Glass.
Supplier - Bath Potters Supplies, Unit 18, Fourth Avenue, Westfield Trading Estate,
Radstock, Nr. Bath. BA3 4XE
Emergency numbers - Tel: 01761 411077 ; Fax: 01761 414115

2. Composition
Component CAS EINECS % of composition
Sodium Silicate 1344-09-8 N/A 97.5%
3. Health Hazard Identification
Inhalation Strong alkaline liquid, inhalation is unlikely but if occurs will cause chemical burns. Inhalation of mists will cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Ingestion If ingestion occurs it will cause chemical burns in the mouth and throat, inability to swallow, and irritation of the gastro intestinal tract with nausea and vomiting. The damage will be greater with hot solutions.
Eyes Sever irritant causing chemical burns with physical irritation and inflammation, which may cause corneal damage.
Skin Will cause chemical burns with physical irritation such as reddening, inflammation and dryness.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation
Remove patient to fresh air, loosen tight clothing and seek medical attention.
Ingestion
Wash mouth out with water and give copious quantities of water or milk to drink. Do not induce vomiting, and obtain immediate medical attention.
Eyes
Speed is essential. The eye should be thoroughly irrigated for not less than 20 minutes with clean water. This prolonged irrigation is of extreme importance and must be done at once otherwise permanent damage will result. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with copious amounts of water until no soapy feeling remains. If symptoms develop seek medical attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media
Suitable for surrounding fire conditions
The product is not explosive or combustible. Standard fire fighting techniques only are required, i.e. water, sand, carbon dioxide, chemical foam extinguishers etc.
Special Exposure hazard
None
Protective equipment
None other than required for surrounding fire conditions
6. Accidental Release Measures
Leaks & Spills
Protective equipment
Wash down spills of liquor with copious quantities of water. Remove dry materials either by a vacuum cleaner fitted with an efficient particulate filter or by damping down and scooping in to a receptacle.
Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection and respiratory protective equipment required for dry or liquid spills.
7. Handling & Storage
Handling
Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where the material is used. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Atmospheric levels of mist should be maintained at the lowest level reasonably practicable. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended to comply with occupational exposure limits (refer to Guidance Note EH40 - latest edition)
Storage
Should be stored in closed steel or other suitable vessels, which prevent free circulation of air over the surface of the silicate. Drums must be kept closed when not in use. If not exposed to the atmosphere obelisk solutions will keep indefinitely. They should not be packed in containers which may be attacked by or which absorb moisture from the solution. Contact with wood will cause discolouration. All grades absorb carbon dioxide on exposure to the atmosphere and the higher ratio grades also lose water resulting in the formulation of a gel, the solution first becoming cloudy and eventually turning solid. Dilute solutions may be frozen and at low temperatures ice crystals separate and rise to the surface. The solutions may be reconstituted by warming and agitating with no change in properties.
The more viscous grades should be stored in a warm building before use to facilitate handling.
8. Exposure Control/Personal protective Equipment
Engineering controls
Adequate ventilation should be provided so that Occupational Exposure Limits are not exceeded, although Sodium Silicate is not listed. Local Exhaust Ventilation is normally recommended
Personal protective equipment
Where LEV is not practicable and exposure is likely to be excessive, approved respiratory protection to CEN standards prEN 140, 141, 143 or 149 should be worn. Protective PVC gloves and safety spectacles are recommended for handling. When using hot solutions, the use of a full-face shield is recommended.
