**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Contact with water liberates extremely flammable gases.
Spontaneously flammable in air.Air sensitive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
No sensitizing effects known.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause respiratory
difficulty and coughing.
Chronic:
Aluminum may be implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Inhalation of
aluminum containing dusts may cause pulmonary disease.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

**** 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. Water Reactive. Material will react with water and
may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Dust can be an explosion
hazard when exposed to heat or flame. May ignite or explode on
contact with steam or moist air. Aluminum powder may evolve hydrogen
gas in contact with water and finely divided dust may be ignited by
naked lights or sparks. Polished aluminum powders which have been
treated with oils or wax for printing or paint purposes are not
generally dangerous. Bulk dust when damp with water may heat
spontaneously. Hazard greater as fineness increases.
Extinguishing Media:
DO NOT USE WATER! Do NOT get water inside containers. Contact
professional fire-fighters immediately. Do NOT use CO2 or
halogenated extinguishing agents. Smother with dry sand, dry clay,
dry ground limestone (CaCO3), or use approved Class D extinguishers.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all
sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Do
not expose spill to water. Vacuum or sweep up material and place into
a suitable, dry disposal container.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not allow water to get into the container
because of violent reaction. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Do not allow contact with water. Keep from contact with
moist air and steam. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from water. Flammables-area. Keep containers tightly closed. Keep
away from acidic, alkaline, combustible and oxidizing materials.
Separate from halogenated compounds.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility
and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible
exposure limits.
Exposure Limits

Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use.
