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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Contact with water liberates extremely flammable
gases.Water-reactive.Air sensitive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Skin:
Dust may cause mechanical irritation. May be harmful if absorbed
through the skin. Particles embedded in the skin may cause "chemical
gas gangrene" with symptoms of persistent lesions, inflammation and
gas bubbles under the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Low hazard for usual
industrial handling.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. 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. May be harmful if
inhaled.
Chronic:
No information found.

**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
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:
Antidote:
The use of Dimercaprol or BAL (British Anti-Lewisite) as a chelating
agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel.

**** 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. This material in
sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating
a dust explosion. Flammable solid. May react with acids or moisture
to form explosive hydrogen gas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use approved class D extinguishing agents or smother with dry sand,
clay, or sodium bicarbonate. Do NOT use water, carbon dioxide, or
foam.

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

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable
container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all
sources of ignition. Place under an inert atmosphere.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond
containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or
vapor), and can be dangerous. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Store
protected from air. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open
flames.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Water free area.

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

Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 7439-95-4:


Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear chemical splash goggles and face shield.
Skin:
Wear impervious gloves.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
