===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EXPOSURE TO MAGNESIUM METAL OR OXIDE
DUST SHOULD BE A LOW HEALTH RISK BY INHALATION AND SHOULD BE
TREATED AS A NUISANCE DUST. EXPOSURE TO MAGNESIUM OXIDE FUME AND
SUBSEQUENT BURNING CAN RESULT IN META L FUME FEVER. THE TEMPORARY
SYMPTOMS CANINCLUDE FEVER, CHILLS, NAUSEA, VOMITING AND MUSCULAR
PAIN. ONSET OF SYMPTOMS OCCURS 4-12 HOURS AFTER EXPOSURE. EYES: MAY
CAUSE BURNS AND CORNEAL ABRASIONS. SKIN : PARTICLES OF MAGNESIUM
EMBEDDED IN THE SKIN MAY PRODUCE LESSIONS THAT RESIST HEALING.
INGESTION: NO PROBLEM BECAUSE OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES.
Effects of Overexposure:EXPOSURE TO MAGNESIUM METAL OR OXIDE DUST
SHOULD BE A LOW HEALTH RISK BY INHALATION AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS
A NUISANCE DUST. EXPOSURE TO MAGNESIUM OXIDE FUME AND SUBSEQUENT
BURNING CAN RESULT IN META L FUME FEVER. THE TEMPORARY SYMPTOMS
CANINCLUDE FEVER, CHILLS, NAUSEA, VOMITING AND MUSCULAR PAIN. ONSET
OF SYMPTOMS OCCURS 4-12 HOURS AFTER EXPOSURE. EYES: MAY CAUSE BURNS
AND CORNEAL ABRASIONS. SKIN : PARTICLES OF MAGNESIUM EMBEDDED IN
THE SKIN MAY PRODUCE LESSIONS THAT RESIST HEALING. INGESTION: NO
PROBLEM BECAUSE OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:EYE CONTACT: DO NOT FLUSH WITH WATER. REMOVE PARTICALS WITH
COTTON TIP APPLICATOR. CORNEAL ABRASIONS ARE A POSSIBILITY. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF
ILL EFFECTS DEVELOP, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH
THOROUGHLY WITH WATER, NO EFFECT EXPECTED. INGESTION: IF
SWALLOWED, IF CONSCIOUS, INDUCE VOMITING AND CALL A PHYSICIAN.
NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO A N UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:=635.C, 1175.F
Autoignition Temp:=510.C, 950.F
Extinguishing Media:SMOTHER WITH DRY GRAPHITE, TALC, DRY SAND, G-1
POWDER, PURPLE-K. DO NOT USE WATER. DO NOT USE FOAM, HYDROGENATED
EXTINGUISHING AGENTS OR CARBON DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DON'T USE FOAM, CARBON TETRACHLORIDE, OR
CARBON DIOXIDE. MANUAL APPLICATION OF WATER SHOULD BE CONDUCTED
WITH CARE TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH BURNING/MOLTEN MATERIAL. PROTECT
EYES & SKIN AGAINST FLYING P ARTICLES. AVOID DIRECT VIEWING OF
MAGNESIUM FIRES. FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR A NIOSH-APPROVED SCBA &
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:COMBUSTIBLE MEATAL. EASILY IGNITED AND
BURNS WITH INTENSE HEAT AND BRILLANT WHITE FLAME. POWDERS FORM
EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE WITH AIR WHICH MAY BE IGNITED BY SPARK. IN FINELY
DIVIDED FORM, WILL REACT WITH WATER AND ACIDS TO RELEASE HYDROGEN.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:RECOVER FOR USE IF NOT CONTAMINATED. DO NOT
USE WATER TO CLEAN UP SPILL. USE APPROPRIATE SAFETY EQUIPMENT-CLEAN
UP USING NON-SPARKING TOOLS-NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES IN THE AREA.
AVOID DUSTING. CLEAN DRY PRODUCT MAY BE RETURNED TO DRY CONTAINER
AND SEALED AGAINST MOISTURE OR PLACE IN A SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR
DISPOSAL.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE IN A DRY
PLACE AWAY FROM OTHER COMBUSTIBLES IN A METAL CABINET. AVOID DIRECT
VIEWING OF MAGNESIUM FIRES AS EYE INJURY MAY RESULT. GROUND ALL
HANDLING AND TRANSFERRING OPERATI ONS. WET OR CONTAMINATED MATERIAL
SHOULD BE PLACED IN VENTED CONTAINERS & DISPOSED OF.
Other Precautions:READ LABEL ON CONTAINER BEFORE USING. DO NOT WEAR
CONTACT LENSES WHEN WORKING WITH CHEMICALS. WET, MOIST OR HIGH
HUMIDITY STORAGE CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO CORROSION OF THE PRODUCT.
CONSTANT CLEAN-UP AN D GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY.
NOT FOR DRY, FOOD OR HOUSEHOLD USE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NONE NEEDED IN NORMAL LABORATORY HANDLING. IF
DUSTY CONDITIONS PREVAIL, WORK IN VENTILATION HOOD OR WEAR A
NIOSH-APPROVED DUST MASK OR RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL/MECHANICAL: IF DUSTY.
Protective Gloves:FIRE-RESISTANT
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GLASSES, FIRE GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR APPROPRIATE FIRE-RESISTANT CLOTHING
(E.G., GLOVES, COVERALLS, ETC) WHEN EXPOSING MAGNESIUM METAL TO
ELEVATED TEMPERATURES (950F) WHICH CAN CAUSE IGNITION. GOGGLES.
