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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns.Corrosive.Hygroscopic.Water-Reactive.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye burns.
Skin:
Contact with skin causes irritation and possible burns, especially
if the skin is wet or moist.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause corrosion and
permanent tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Causes delayed lung injury. Causes severe irritation of upper
respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and
possible coma.
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 immediately.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately.
If victim is fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
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:
Water Reactive. Material will react with water and may release a
flammable and/or toxic gas. Wear appropriate protective clothing to
prevent contact with skin and eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) to prevent contact with thermal decomposition
products. Use water with caution and in flooding amounts. Containers
may explode when heated or if contaminated with water. Aluminum
chloride reacts violently with water producing hydrochloric acid and
heat. Hydrochloric acid solutions react with most metals, forming
flammable hydrogen gas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry
chemical, or carbon dioxide. DO NOT USE WATER! Do NOT get water
inside containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water
until well after fire is out. For large fires flood fire with water
from a distance.

**** 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. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Do
not expose spill to water.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Loosen closure cautiously before opening. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not allow contact
with water.
Storage:
Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Keep away from water. Corrosives area.
Loosen closure cautiously before opening. Separate from organic
materials.

**** 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 general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear chemical goggles and a face shield.
Skin:
Wear impervious gloves.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR
1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a
NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator
when necessary.
