Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
RM-Freetext:
In man, the lethal oral dose of sodium silicates has been
estimated as 0.5-5 g/kg, depending on the molar ratio.
In the USA sodium silicate is considered "generally
recognized as safe (GRAS)" for indirect food uses, and as
additive to drinking water in concentrations of up to 100
ppm.
