===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: FUME CAN CAUSE IRRITATION.
ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION FROM WELDING CAN CAUSE FLASH BURNS. SKIN: CAN
CAUSE IRRITATION. ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION FROM WELDING CAN CAUSE
FLASH BURNS. INHALTION: CAN CAUSE RE SPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION,
METAL FUME FEVER, AND OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS LISTED BELOW. CANCER
HAZARD.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:WELDING FUMES ARE CARCINOGENIC & ARE
LISTED AS AN IARC GROUP 2B. "SEE MSDS FOR DETAILS."
Effects of Overexposure:ALUMINUM IS WELDED IN A PROTECTIVE, INERT
ATMOSPHERE SUCH AS ARGON OR HELIUM USING THE MIG OR TIG PROCESS.
WELDING PROCESSES GENERATE WELDING FUMES AND AN INTENSE ULTRAVIOLET
RADIATION THAT RESULTS IN THE FORMATION OF OZONE, AND OXIDES OF
NITROGEN. ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION FROM WLEDING CAN ALSO CAUSE FLASH
BURNS TO THE EYES AND SKIN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE, SKIN RASHES,
AND ASTHMA.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER OR SALINE FOR AT LEAST
15 MINUTES. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. SKIN: WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP
AND WATER. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. INHALTION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. CHECK FOR AIRWAY, BREATHING, AND PRESENCE OF
PULSE. PROVIDE CPR FOR PERSONS WITHOUT PULSE OR RESPIRATION.
CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE METHODS APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. USE
COARSE WATER SPRAY ON CHIPS OR TURNINGS. FOR FINES, DUST, MOLTEN
ALUMINUM, USE CLASS D EXTINGUISHING AGENTS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR NIOSH APPROVED,
POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN APPROPRIATE. DO NOT USE: HALOGENTAED
EXTINGUISHING AGENTS ON SMALL CHIP S/FINES. DO NOT USE WATER IN
FIGHTING FIRES AROUND MOLTEN ALUMINUM.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MAY BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD UNDER THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: DUSTS OR FINES DISPERSED IN THE AIR CAN BE
EXPLOSIVE. CHIPS, FINES, DUST IN CONTACT WITH WATER CAN GENERATE
FLAMMABLE/EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS. FINES & DUST IN CONTACT WITH
CERTAIN METAL OXIDES. M0LTEN ALUMINUM IN CONTACT WITH
WATER/MOISTURE OR OTHER METAL OXIDES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:IF MOLTEN: CONTAIN THE FLOW USING DRY SAND OR
SAIL FLUX AS DAM. DO NOT USE SHOVELS OR HAND TOOLS TO HALT THE FLOW
OF MOLTEN ALUMINUM. ALLOW THE SPILL TO COOL BEFORE REMELTING AS
SCRAP.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:PRODUCT SHOULD BE KEPT DRY. AVOID
GENERATING DUST. AVOID CONTACT WITH SHARP EDGES OR HEATED METAL.
HOT AND COLD ALUMINUM ARE NOT VISUALLY DIFFERENT.
Other Precautions:USE NON-SPARKING HANDLING EQUIPMENT. COVER AND RESEAL
PARTIALLY EMPTY CONTAINERS. PROVIDE GROUNDING AND BONDING WHERE
NECESSARY TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION OF STATIC CHARGES DURING ALUMINUM
DUST HANDLING AND TRANSFER OPERATIONS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (DUST,
FUME,HIGH EFFICIENCY DUST/FUME MASK FOR LEAD, OR OTHER (ORGANIC
VAPOR) AS SPECIFIED BY AN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST OR OTHE RQUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL IF CONCE NTRATIONS EXCEED THE LIMITS LISTED IN
INGREDIENTS SECTION.
Ventilation:USE WITH ADEQUATE EXPLOSION PROOF VENTILATION TO MEET
EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES TO AVOID SKIN INJURY.
Eye Protection:WELDERS SHOULD USE HELMET, FACE SHIELD, FILTER LENS.
Other Protective Equipment:ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE
PROVIDED TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF PERSONAL CLOTHING.
Work Hygienic Practices:LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. GOOD INDUSTRIAL
HYGIENE PRACTICES, INCLUDING REDUCING OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES TO AS
LOW AS REASONABLY ACHIEVABLE, ARE RECOMMENDED.
