Results and discussion
- Results:
- A fifty-seven year old dyer was regularly exposed at work to 20 % sodiumsilicate solution of unknown molar ratio. The man had recurrent ulcerative lesions on his left hand over a period of two years. The ulcers were associated with chronic eczematous changes resulting from primary irritant contact dermatitis to sodium silicate, as indicated by a positive patch test. The man also had another type of cutaneous reaction to sodium silicate, contact urticaria. An immediate wheal and flare reaction was seen fifteen minutes after the application of sodium silicate to a scratch test site. Such a response was not seen in healthy control subjects.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
