=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE EFFECTS: LIQUID ALUM IS AN
    ACIDIC SALT THAT CAN IRRITATE EYES, SKIN, OPEN WOUNDS AND MUCOUS
    MEMBRANES. INHALATION OF MISTS CAN BE IRRITATING TO THE RESPIRATORY
    TRACT AND LUNGS. INGESTION: IF SWA LLOWED, WILL IRRITATE THE
    DIGESTIVE TRACT. CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS: CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE TO
    THE SKIN CAN CAUSE CONTACT DERMATITIS. (ALUMINUM SULFATE IS USED AS
    A FOOD ADDITIVE AND APPEARS ON THE GRAS L IST.)
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HELATH HAZARDS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE OR SKIN CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH FRESH WATER FOR
    AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. GET
    MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSED AREA
    TO FRESH A IR. KEEP PATIENT BREATHING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
    IMMEDIATELY. INGESTION: DILUTE WITH WATER OR MILK - NOT MORE THAN 8
    OZ. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DO NOT GIVE BICARBONATE. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION IMMEDIA TELY.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE THAT WHICH IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE SURROUNDING
    FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT . SULFUR OXIDES MAY BE PRESENT AT HIGH TEMPERATURES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SPILLED LIQUID ALUM CAN CAUSE SLIPPERY
    FOOTING. DRY ALUM CAN EVOLVE SO*3 AND SO*2 GAS WHEN EXPOSED TO
    TEMPERATURES ABOVE 760C(1400F).

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. CLEAN UP
    PERSONNEL NEED PROTECTION AGAINST CONTACT WITH THIS ACIDIC (PH
    2-3.5) MATERIAL. LIQUID SPILLS CAN CAUSE EXTREMELY SLIPPERY
    FOOTING. COVER WITH LIME OR SODA ASH T O NEUTRALIZE AND PICK UP FOR
    DISPOSAL. ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS REQUIRED FOR SODA ASH OR
    LIMESTONE DUE TO RELEASE OF CO*2 GAS.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN CLOSED CONTAINERS IN A COOL,
    DRY, WELL VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT. PROTECT
    CONTAINERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. LIQUID ALUM IS CORROSIVE TO
    FERROUS METALS AND MILD STEEL. USE ACID  RESISTANT TANKS FOR
    STORAGE AND PIPING (PLASTIC RUBBER LINED, PLASTIC LINED, OR
    STAINLESS STEEL).

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF MISTING CONDITIONS EXIST, WEAR A NIOSH
    APPROVED ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER RESPIRATORY SUITABLE FOR SULFURIC
    ACID MIST.
Ventilation:PROVIDE GENERAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IN AREAS OF USE. IF
    MISTING CONDITIONS EXIST, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION MAY ALSO BE
    NEEDED.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES AND FULL LENGTH
    FACESHIELD .
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
    DESIGN CRITERIA . ADDITIONAL ACID RESISTANT CLOTHING MAY BE
    DESIRABLE IF POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE IS SEVERE.
