===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE TO FUMES/ DUST MAY
PRODUCE IRRITATION OF EYES AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. INHALATION OF
HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF FRESHLY FORMED OXIDE FUMES OF MAGNESIUM AND
LEAD MAY CAUSE METAL FUME FEV ER, CHARACTERIZED BY A METALLIC TASTE
IN THE MOUTH, DRYNESS AND IRRITATION OF THE THROAT AND INFLUENZA
SYMPTOMS. EXPOSURE TO ZINC OXIDE FUMES OR DUSTS CAN RESULT IN A
FLU-LIKE ILLNESS CALLED METAL FU ME FEVER. EARLY SYMPTOMS MAY
INCLUDE A SWEET OR METALLIC TASTE IN THE MOUTH, DRYNESS AND
IRRITATION OF THE THROAT AND COUGHING. THE SYMPTOMS MAY APPEAR 8
-48 HOURS AFTER OVEREXPOSURE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS PRODUCTS INGREDIENTS ARE NOT FOUND
IN FEDERAL OSHA NITP IARC
Effects of Overexposure:SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE TO FUMES/ DUST MAY PRODUCE
IRRITATION OF EYES & RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. INHALATION OF HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF FRESHLY FORMED OXIDE FUMES OF MAGNESIUM , LEAD
AND ZINC MAY CAUSE METAL FUM E FEVER, CHARACTERIZED BY A METALLIC
TASTE IN THE MOUTH, DRYNESS AND IRRITATION OF THE THROAT AND
INFLUENZA SYMPTOMS. EARLY SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE A SWEET OR
METALLIC TASTE IN THE MOUTH, DRYNESS AND I RRITATION OF THROAT AND
COUGHING, AND MAY PROGRESS TO SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HEADACHE,
CHILLS, FEVER, NAUSEA, VOMITING & DIARRHEA.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:IF EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE LEVELS OF METAL FUMES, REMOVE TO
FRESH AIR, SEEK MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. EYES: FLUSH WITH WTAER FOR
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:DRY SAND, METAL EXTINGUISHING POWDERS SUCH AS GL
MET-L-X. DO NOT USE WATER OR HALOGEN ON DUST FIRES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ARC OR SPARK GENERATED WHEN WELDING OR
BURNING COULD BE A SOURCE OF IGNTION FOR COMBUSTIBLE AND FLAMMABLE
MATERIALS. WHEN HEATED IN AIR TO A TEMPERATURE NEAR ITS MELTING
POINT, MAGNESIUM ALLOYS IGNITE AND BURN WITH A WHITE FLAME. USE OF
WATER ON MOLTEN MAGNESIUM WILL PRODUCE H2 GAS AND MAY CAUSE
EXPLOSION.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:PRACTICE CARE IN HANDLING MAGNESIUM
AND MAGNESIUM ALLOY PRODUCT FORMS TO AVOID PRODUCT DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY. STORE PRODUCT IN DRY LOCATION. WET, MOIST OR HIGH
HUMIDITY STORAGE CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO CORROSION OF THE PRODUCT.
STORE AWAY FROM OTHER COMBUSTIBLES. SEE NFPA BULLITIN #48.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED DUST AND FUME RESPIRATOR
SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF PARTICULATES WHEN
EXPOSURE EXCEEDS TLVS.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE UTILIZED WHEN WELDING,
BURNING, SAWING, BRAZING, GRINDING OR MACHINING WHEN EXPOSURE
EXCEED TLV'S.
Protective Gloves:PROTECTIVE GLOVES ARE RECOMMENDED DURING HANDLING OF
FINES EXPOSURE
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES SHOULD BE UTILIZED AS REQUIRED
BY EXPOSURE
Other Protective Equipment:OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE
UTILIZED AS REQUIRED BY THE WELDING STANDARD
