Safety & Health
- Health and Safety Precautions
- SYLOBEAD® MS 512NGD Adsorbent is a synthetic aluminosilicate bound with a mineral clay. In active conditions it will release heat when adsorbing water or other substances.
- If a large quantity of sieve quickly adsorbs water, the molecular sieve can become hot enough to cause thermal burns of the skin; contact has to be avoided under these conditions.
- Information to date indicates that the synthetic aluminosilicate is not toxic and does not cause fibrosis.
- The product contains, however, a small amount (ca. 1 %) of quartz carried over from the mineral binders. At present, EU Regulations do not require safety labeling of products containing quartz.
- However, quartz has been recently classified by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) as carcinogenic to humans by inhalation (Group 1).
- Furthermore, quartz can cause silicosis or other lung diseases on prolonged exposure. When handling Molecular Sieve Beads the concentration of respirable quartz in the working environment is expected to be well below the limits allowed by the worker protection regulations.
- Nevertheless, the user is responsible for controlling the working environment according to local regulations,

Storage & Handling
- Handling and Storage Information
- SYLOBEAD® MS 512NGD Adsorbent should be handled so as to avoid generation of dusty conditions at the workplace.
- When pouring into a container in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust, earth both containers electrically to prevent a static electric spark and the risk of explosion.
- Storage in a dry warehouse is recommended.
- Extended exposure to UV light degrades the big bag material and this should be avoided.
- Open packages should be resealed to prevent contamination and adsorption of water or other gasses and vapors.
- The material in drums should be used within 4 years, the material in big bags within 6 months.
