Tetramethyl orthosilicate Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by inhalation. Mildly toxic by skin contact. A severe eye irritant. This material can cause extensive necrosis (experimentally), keratoconus, and opaque cornea. It also causes severe human eye injuries, as well as necrosis of corneal cells, which progresses long after exposure has ceased. It is destructive and its effects resist treatment. Permanent blindness is possible from exposure to it. The kidney seems to be most subject to injury regardless of the mode of exposure. Pulmonary edema has also occurred. This material is more toxic than either ethyl silicate or silicic acid, although it has been thought that the injury caused is largely due to the action of the silicic acid. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame; can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. Potentially violent reaction with metal hexafluorides (e.g., rhenium, molybdenum, tungsten). When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
