**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Flammable. Contact with water liberates extremely flammable
gases.Water-reactive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Dust may cause mechanical irritation. Aluminum particles may cause
corneal necrosis.
Skin:
Dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. May
cause liver damage. Causes severe pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
and shock. May cause hemorrhaging of the digestive tract. The
toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
investigated.
Inhalation:
Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. Inhalation of fumes may
cause metal fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms
with metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain,
muscle pain and increased white blood cell count.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute
inhalation. Chronic inhalation of finely divided powder has been
reported to cause pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema. Repeated skin
contact has been associated with bleeding into the tissue, delayed
hypersensitivity and granulomas.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Flush skin with
plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form
explosive mixtures with air. Dust can be an explosion hazard when
exposed to heat or flame.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use dry chemical to fight fire.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
