5. Fire-fighting measures
Hazardous combustion : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon dioxide
products
carbon monoxide
sulfur oxides
metal oxide/oxides
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
equipment for fire-fighters
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash
spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect
spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations
(see section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated
absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see section
1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal.
Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up
if water-soluble or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
7. Handling and storage
Handling : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a
compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain
product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Storage : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from
direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials
(see section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready
for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright
to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment
to avoid environmental contamination.
8. Exposure controls/personal protection

8. Exposure controls/personal protection
aluminium sulphate ACGIH TLV (United States, 1/2007). Notes: as Al
TWA: 2 mg/m鲁, (as Al) 8 hour(s). Form: Soluble
OSHA PEL 1989 (United States, 3/1989). Notes: as Al
TWA: 2 mg/m鲁, (as Al) 8 hour(s).
NIOSH REL (United States, 12/2001). Notes: as Al
TWA: 2 mg/m鲁, (as Al) 10 hour(s).
Engineering measures : Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor
or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls
to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory
limits.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate
techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are close to the workstation location.
Personal protection
Respiratory : Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved
standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be
based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe
working limits of the selected respirator.
Hands : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary.
Eyes : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or
dusts.
Skin : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling
this product.
