===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:NO INFORMATION FOUND.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES/SKIN/INHALATION: DUST CAN CAUSE
IRRITATION. ALUMINUM DUST/FINES AND FUMES ARE A LOW HEALTH RISK BY
INHALATION. FOR STANDARD OPERATIONS (MILLING, CUTTING, GRINDING),
ALUMINUM DUST SHOULD BE TREATE D AS A NUISANCE DUST AS DEFINED BY
THE ACGIH.
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:ASTHMA, CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE, AND
SKIN RASHES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP
AND WATER. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. CHECK FOR CLEAR AIRWAY, BREATHING, AND
PRESENCE OF PULSE. PROVIDE CPR FOR PERSONS WITHOUT PULSE OR
RESPIRATIONS. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED, DILUTE
BY DRINKING LARGE AMOUN TS OF WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH
TO AN UNCONSCIOUS OR CONVULSING PERSON. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE GENTLE SURF APPLICATION OF CLASS D EXTING
AGENT/DRY INERT GRANULAR MATL (E.G., SAND) TO COVER & RING BURNING
POWDER. IF POSS, ISOLATE BURNING POWDER FROM OTHER MATLS (TOX INFO)
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAM LIMS: MIN EXPLO CONC IN AIR: 40
MG/L. DUSTS OR FINES DISPERSED IN THE AIR CAN BE EXPLOSIVE. DUST &
FINES IN CONTACT WITH WATER CAN GENERATE FLAMMABLE/EXPLOSIVE
HYDROGEN GAS. THESE GASES COULD PR ESENT AN EXPLOSION HAZARD IN
CONFINED OR POORLY VENTILATED SPACES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:AVOID ALL IGNIT SOURCES AROUND SPILL AREA.
PROHIBIT SMKNG. DO NOT USE WATER FOR SPILL CLEANUP. AVOID DUSTING
OF POWDER TO GREATEST EXTENT POSS. SWEEP SPILLED POWDER W/NATRL
BRISTLE BROOM (PUSH TYPE RE C). PICK UP MATL W/NON-SPKG TOOLS.
PLACE CAREFULLY IN DRY, WATER-TIGHT CONTRS. SEAL CONTRS. AFTER
COMPLETE CLEAN-UP BY SWEEPING, AREA MAY BE WASHED DOWN W/LGE QTYS
OF WATER IF NEC.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:OBTAIN & FOLLOW SFTY PROC & EQUIP
GUIDES CONTAINED IN ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION BULLETIN TR-2 & NFPA
BROCHURES LISTED IN REFERENCES INFO. USE NON-SPKG HNDLG EQUIP.
COVER & RESEAL PARTIALLY EMPTY CONTRS. PR OVIDE GROUNDING & BONDING
WHERE NEC TO PVNT ACCUM OF STATIC CHARGES DURING ALUMINUM (OTHER
PREC)
Other Precautions:HNDLG/STOR PREC: DUST HNDLG & TRANSFER OPERATIONS.
LOC VENT & VACUUM SYS MUST BE DESIGNED TO HANDLE EXPLO DUSTS. DRY
VACUUMS & ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS MUST NOT BE USED. DUST
COLLECTION SYS MUST BE DEDICATED TO ALUMINUM DUST ONLY & SHOULD BE
CLEARLY LABELED AS SUCH. (SUP DAT)
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION AS
SPECIFIED BY AN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST OR OTHER QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL IF POTENTIAL FOR OVEREXPOSURE EXISTS.
Ventilation:USE WITH ADEQUATE EXPLOSION-PROOF VENTILATION TO MEET
EXPOSURE LIMITS LISTED IN INGREDIENS SECTION.
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPROVED EMERGENCY EYEWASH AND DELUGE
SHOWER . RECOMMENDED FR8 OR EQUIVALENT FULL-LENGTH PANTS AND
JACKETS ALONG WITH ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE SAFETY SHOES OR
GROUNDING STRAPS.
Work Hygienic Practices:GREAT CAUTION IS REQUIRED TO AVOID CONTACT WITH
UNPROTECTED ELECTRICAL DEVICES WHEN WEARING GROUNDED SHOES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WASTE DISP METH: OTHERWISE, CHARACTERIZE I/A/W APPLIC REGS (40 CFR
261/STATE EQUIVALENT IN U.S.). DISPOSE OF I/A/W LOC, STATE, & FED
REGS . OTHER PREC: DO NOT CO-MINGLE FINES OF ALUMINUM W/FINES OF
IRON, IRON OXIDE (RUST)/OTHER METAL OXIDES. PROCESS EQUIP, STOR
CONTRS, VESSELS & BLDGS SHOULD BE (OTHER INFO)

=================== Toxicological Information ===================
Toxicological Information:LD50/LC50 FOR ORAL, DERMAL/INHAL RTES OF
ADMIN: NO INFO FOUND. -- EXTING MEDIA: TO PVNT FIRE SPREAD, & ALLOW
MATL TO BURN ITSELF OUT. AVOID MIXING OF EXTING AGENT W/BURNING
POWDER. DO NOT DISTURB POWD ER UNTIL COMPLETELY COOL. DO NOT USE:
WATER, HALOGENATED AGENTS/ABC DRY CHEM AGENTS. ALL OF THESE FIRE
EXTING AGENTS WILL REACT W/BURNING POWDER. -- EXPLO HAZ: THESE
GASES COULD PRESENT EXPLO HAZ IN C ONFINED/POORLY VENTILATED
SPACES; FINES & DUST IN CONT W/CERTAIN METAL OXIDES (E.G., RUST). A
THERMITE RXN, W/CONSIDERABLE HEAT GENERATION, CAN BE INITIATED BY
