Other Hazards: Not known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic or to cause reproductive toxicity
Main Ingredients: Amorphous silica (SiO2, 98-100%)
CAS Number: 7631-86-9
Water-Repellent Additive: Proprietary silicone-based compound (less than 2%)
Impurities: Trace metals below 0.1%, inert fillers, surface treatment agents
Physical Form: Beads or granules, blue/white color as per specific indicator blend
Odor: Odorless
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air, monitor for persistent cough or irritation — seek medical help if symptoms set in
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; persistent reaction calls for medical attention
Eye Contact: Flush open eyes under running water for at least 15 minutes; consult doctor if irritation remains
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, seek professional care in case of discomfort, do not induce vomiting unless directed by healthcare staff
Most Important Symptoms: Temporary dryness, eye redness, irritated airways
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water, foam, dry chemical, or CO2 for packaging fire
Unsuitable Media: None known for the silica gel itself
Specific Hazards: Silica gel will not burn but packaging materials may, producing CO, CO2, silicon oxides
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighters; avoid inhaling fumes from burning packaging
Firefighting Advice: Cool containers with water spray to prevent rupture from steam build-up
Personal Precautions: Wear dust mask, gloves, goggles when cleaning spill
Spill Cleanup: Sweep up and collect for proper disposal; wash down residue to drain with plenty of water
Environmental Precaution: Prevent release of large amounts into storm drains, soil, or waterways
Reporting: Large spills should be reported to local authorities if product enters natural waterway
Handling: Avoid generating dust; handle in well-ventilated area; keep away from children and pets
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry spot; keep away from acids, alkalis, strong oxidizers
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, bases, hydrofluoric acid (will dissolve silica)
Special Advice: Keep containers upright to avoid leaks and moisture ingress
Other Instructions: Do not reuse packaging for food/water storage
Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL for amorphous silica dust 20 mppcf (mg/m3), ACGIH TLV 10 mg/m3 (inhalable)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation for operations likely to raise dust levels
Respiratory Protection: Particle mask or NIOSH-approved respirator for dusty conditions
Skin Protection: Impermeable gloves for prolonged handling
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after use, do not eat or drink around product
Physical State: Solid — spherical or granular beads
Color: White, blue or orange, depending on indicator dye
Odor: Odorless
Melting Point: Not applicable; decomposes above 1600°C
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Density: 0.7–0.8 g/cm3
Solubility: Insoluble in water and organics
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
pH: 4–8 (in suspension)
Flash Point: Not flammable
Auto-Ignition Temperature: Not considered combustible
Partition Coefficient: Not applicable
Evaporation Rate: Not applicable
Stability: Stable under typical conditions of storage and use
Hazardous Reactions: Reacts with hydrofluoric acid, producing toxic silicon tetrafluoride
Hazardous Decomposition: No hazardous thermal decomposition products under normal conditions
Polymerization: Will not occur
Other Concerns: Surface treatment agents may hydrolyze if left exposed to moisture for extended time, reducing water repellency
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation (dust), skin and eye contact
Acute Effects: Causes mechanical irritation; not absorbed in toxic amounts
Chronic Toxicity: Repeated exposure may dry/irritate skin, create minor respiratory discomfort; no evidence of chronic poisoning in humans
Sensitization: Not known to cause allergic reactions
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Reproductive Toxicity: No known harm to reproductive health
Mutagenicity: No reported DNA or chromosome damage in standard tests
Ecotoxicity: Not toxic to aquatic life at relevant concentrations; behaves as inert mineral in environment
Persistence and Degradability: Product is non-biodegradable; forms part of natural sand cycle
Bioaccumulation Potential: Not bioaccumulative
Mobility in Soil: Low mobility; will settle in soil
Other Adverse Effects: None observed in practical usage; dust may increase turbidity if released in large amounts to water
Waste Disposal Methods: Non-hazardous waste under most regulations; dispose in landfill per local guidelines
Packaging Disposal: Decontaminate and recycle plastic or metal containers; paper and cardboard can go to normal solid waste
Special Precautions: Do not dispose of large quantities in rivers, lakes, or stormwater
Other Notes: Product can be reused for desiccation if regenerated following supplier protocols
