Safety Data Sheet
Silvaspray
If swallowed Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
May cause eye burns, skin irritation. May be harmful or fatal if swallowed. May cause deterioration of the optic nerve
if absorbed through the skin in large amounts. The absoption of silver compounds through breaks in the skin may
result in local pigmentation at the site of injury. Repeated exposures likely to cause significant system damage.

Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temps above the flash point. Empty containers can contain
product residue can be dangerous. Vapors are heavier than air. Dried product may support combustion when
exposed to sufficient heat.
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste. Keep in suitable, closed containers for
disposal.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Silver is a known environmental hazard. Specific data on this mixture is not available.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Storage class (TRGS 510): Flammable liquids
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Avoid strong oxidizers, Ammonia, Peroxides, Acids, Chlorinated Compounds

8.2 Appropriate engineering controls
Use with adequate ventilation
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Eye/face protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multipurpose
combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the
respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components
tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching
glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in
accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
Body protection
Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the
specific work-place., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount
of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Wear respiratory equipment. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all
sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive
concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas. For personal protection see section 8.
