Hazardous combustion products
After evaporation of water, residue can burn to produce:
Oxides of carbon.
Oxides of silicon.
Carbon monoxide is highly toxic if in haled; carbon dioxide in sufficient concentrations can act as an asphyxiate. Acute over exposure to the products of combustion may result in irritation of the respiratory tract.
Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur
Hazardous polymerization – Conditions to avoid
None known
Acute effects
No evidence of harmful effects from available information
SKIN ABSORPTION
Acute effects
No evidence of harmful effects from available information.
INHALATION
Acute effects
Short-term harmful health effects are not expected from vapor generated at ambient temperature.
SKIN CONTACT
Acute effects
May cause minor irritation
May cause the following effects:
-itching
-slight local redness
EYE CONTACT
Acute effects
May cause slight irritation
May cause the following effects:
-swelling of the conjunctivae
Medical conditions aggravated by overexposure
A knowledge of the available toxicology information and of the physical and chemical properties of the material suggests that overexposure is unlikely to aggravate existing medical conditions.
Other effects of overexposure
No adverse effects anticipated from available information
SIGNIFICANT DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH
No information relevant to human health hazard evaluation is currently available.
