Silver double sided adhesive sheets

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency overview: A silver filled adhesive layer. Not considered hazardous under normal usage. Can release irritating and/or toxic vapors at elevated processing temperatures or if involved in a fire. Caution should be exercised about not permitting the film to come in contact with a hot plate that is going to take the acrylic beyond the point where vapors are released from the film.

Health hazards

Skin: Not considered hazardous but constant contact with this product could lead to some skin irritation. Eyes: Not considered hazardous but if eye contact should occur, wash with fresh water for 15 minutes. Inhalation: Not a route of exposure under normal usage. Elevated processing temperatures may release irritating vapors, and large amounts of cutting could generate irritating particulates, but mainly coming from the release papers, not from the "silver-filled" adhesive. Ingestion: Not a route of exposure. Ingestion of silver may cause irritation of the digestive tract; effects may be cumulative, causing abdominal pain, rigidity, convulsions and shock.

Potential chronic health

Chronic inhalation or ingestion of silver salts may cause argyria, with permanent blue-gray discoloration of eyes, skin, mucous membrandes, and internal organs.
