Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Approximately 20 years of cumulative experience in the production of Silicic acid, aluminum sodium salt (CAS 1344-00-9, NAS) has not produced a single case of suspected contact allergy (Evonik 2009). NAS like synthetic amorphous silica is known to result in drying and possibly cracking the skin. Following prolonged exposure, this was associated with eczematous skin changes.


The implementation of technical measures resulted in a steady reduction of exposure over years. Furthermore, strict personal skin protection, as well as skincare, succeeded in almost eliminating any case of silicate-related skin irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
no evidence of skin sensitising potential
