International Chemical Safety Cards TETRAETHYL SILICATE ICSC: 0333 TETRAETHYL SILICATE Tetraethoxysilane Ethyl silicate Tetraethyl orthosilicate (C2H5O)4Si Molecular mass: 208.3 CAS # 78-10-4 RTECS # VV9450000 ICSC # 0333 UN # 1292 EC # 014-005-00-0 TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING FIRE Flammable. NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. Water spray, foam, alcohol-resistant foam. EXPLOSION Above 37°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. Above 37°C use a closed system, ventilation, and explosion-proof electrical equipment. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. EXPOSURE INHALATION Cough. Dizziness. Headache. Sore throat. Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. SKIN Dry skin. Redness. Protective gloves. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. EYES Redness. Pain. Safety spectacles, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. INGESTION Confusion. Vomiting. (Further see Inhalation). Rinse mouth. SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Note: Reacts with water to form an adhesive mass. (extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus). Fireproof. Separated from acids, oxidants. Cool. Keep in a well-ventilated room.

International Chemical Safety Cards TETRAETHYL SILICATE ICSC: 0333 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS LIQUID , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: Reacts with acids, water and oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs): TLV: 10 ppm; 85 mg/m3 (as TWA) (ACGIH 1996). MAK: 20 ppm; 170 mg/m3; (1996) OSHA PEL: TWA 100 ppm (850 mg/m3) NIOSH REL: TWA 10 ppm (85 mg/m3) NIOSH IDLH: 700 ppm ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The liquid defats the skin. The substance may have effects on the kidneys.
