POWDER MAY PRODUCE IRRITATION OF EYES AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
CHRONIC: NONE KNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING UPPER RESPIRATORY AND
LUNG DISEASES SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA
AND ASTHMA.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INGESTION: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY . SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND
WATER. EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. INHALATION: REMOVE
TO FRESH AIR.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Lower Limits:40 MG/L
Extinguishing Media:HALOGENATED EXTING AGENTS (SUCH AS HALON) SHOULD
NOT BE USED. TO CTL SPREAD OF FIRE, DO NOT USE WATER; RING SM
(SUPDAT)
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ALUMINUM DUST MAY BE IGNITED BY STATIC
DISCHARGE & BURN AT EXTREMELY HIGH TEMP. IN BULK FORM, IT IS
IGNITED BY STATIC DISCHARGE W/DFCLTY; HOWEVER, ONCE (SUPDAT)
Spill Release Procedures:ALL SPILLS SHOULD FIRST BE CLEANED BY SCOOPING
& MILD BRUSHING. CLEANING SHOULD BE DONE W/SOFT BRUSH OR SPONGE &
PICKUP SHOULD BE W/NON-SPK CONDUCTIVE SCOOPS. SYNTHETIC FIBER
BRISTLE BRUSH & PLASTIC O R OTHER NONCONDUCTIVE SCOOPS SHOULD NOTBE
(ING 6)
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A CLEAN, DRY PLACE.
Other Precautions:FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, REFER TO THE ALUMINUM
ASSOCIATION BULLETIN TR-2, "RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORAGE & HANDLING
OF ALUMINUM PIGMENTS & POWDERS."
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOR
DUSTS/FUME/MIST.
Ventilation:IF VENT IS USED TO CONVEY ALUMINUM PWDR, SPEC VENT
PROCEDURES MAY BE NEC TO AVOID EXPLO HAZS. SEE NFPA CODES #65 &
#651.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:CLOTHING AS NEEDED. NONCONDUCTIVE SAFETY
SHOES RECOMMENDED.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EXTING MEDIA: FIRES W/DRY SAND, USING NON-SPK SHOVELS; AVOID CREATING
DUST CLOUDS. ELIM DRAFTS, LET FIRE EXTING ITSELF. EXPLO HAZ:
