Section 3 — Composition / Information on Ingredients
| Product / CAS Reg. Nr. | Composition (WGT%) | Danger Symbol | OSHA PEL |
|---|
| 7429-90-5 | Aluminium — (99.9%) to (99.99995%) | F: Dust highly flammable | Total Dust — 10 mg/m³ |
Section 4 — First Aid Measures
SkinWash skin with soap and water for several minutes.
EyesImmediately wash eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Get medical aid if irritation.
InhalationRemove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation develops.
IngestionDO NOT induce vomiting; give 3–4 glasses of water. Call a doctor for medical attention.
Section 5 — Fire-Fighting Measures
Flash PointNot combustible. May give off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
Minimum Ignition Temp.Not applicable.
Decomposition TemperatureNot applicable.
Lower/Upper Explosion Limit (Vol % in Air)Not applicable.
Special Remarks for FireSolid material does not burn or burn with difficulty. Powder or vapour may be an explosion hazard, especially when heated.
Personal ProtectionSafety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
Extinguishing MediaDo not use water, foam, halogenated gas, or carbon dioxide. Burning aluminum should be extinguished by smothering with dry agents such as Class D dry powder extinguisher, melting flux, sand, or Talc (Magnesium Trisilicate). Pressurised extinguishers, with a slow discharge rate, should be used to avoid scattering burning material and spreading the fire. When applying the extinguishing medium by hand, do so carefully to avoid scattering the burning material. Keep containers cool and beware of re-ignition.
Fire PreventionKeep aluminum particulate away from flames, sparks, and sources of heat. Avoid accumulation of aluminum dust by good housekeeping. Smoking should be prohibited.
Section 6 — Accidental Release Measures
GeneralRemove all sources of ignition. Sweep spilled substance into containers. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to a safe place.
Personal ProtectionUse mask, uniform, and gloves when handling.
Environmental ProtectionMaterial should be recycled.
Section 7 — Handling and Storage
HandlingUse well-ventilated area to keep dust below exposure limits. Do not allow dust or powder to accumulate on equipment or building surfaces.
