Safety & Health
- Safety Notes
During vulcanization of ELASTOSIL® E4, a total of 3% by weight of acetic acid is split off. These vapors should not be inhaled for long periods or in high concentration. Work areas should therefore be well ventilated. Contact of unvulcanized silicone rubber with eyes and mucous membranes must be avoided as this would cause irritation. However if it does happen, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water.
