Section IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data

 

Flash Point (Method Used) Not Determined	Flammable Limits Not Determined	LEL Not Determined	UEL Not Determined
Extinguishing Media Solid form of product is not combustible. Fire and explosion hazards are moderate when material is in the form of dust and exposed to heat, flames, chemical reaction, or in contact with strong oxidizers. Use special mixtures of dry chemical or sand for fire. Molten metal may react violently with water. Fire fighters should use NIOSH approved SCBA &full protective equipment when fighting chemical fire.

Section V - Reactivity Data

 

Stability Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.	Conditions to Avoid Strong acids
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid)                       NA
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts  Metallic dust or fumes may be produced during welding, burning, grinding and machining.
Hazardous Polymerization	Seek immediate medical attention.

Section VI - Health Hazard Data

Under normal handling conditions the solid alloy presents no significant health hazards. Processing of the alloy by dust or fume producing operation (grinding, buffing, heating, welding, etc.) may result in the potential for exposure to airborne metal particulates or fume.

 

Eyes:	Direct eye contact may cause irritation, redness, and pain. May cause tissue damage if not removed promptly. In case of eye contact, remove contact lenses and immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes holding eyelids apart to ensure flushing of the entire eye surface. Seek medical attention.
Skin:	Skin exposure may cause irritation, drying, redness, and dermatitis. May be absorbed through damaged skin. In case of skin contact, thoroughly wash with running water and non-abrasive soap using cold water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Inhalation:	Inhalation of fumes irritates the respiratory tract. Symptoms from overexposure can include sore, dry throat and a metallic taste followed by a cough, chest pain, and difficulty in breathing. Bronchitis, pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema have been reported as a result of fume irritation. Headaches, dizziness, loss of appetite, and weight loss have also been reported and the liver, kidneys and bone marrow may be injured by exposure above recommended guidelines If overexposed, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:	Seek immediate medical attention.

Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use

 

Handling/Storage:  Store material away from incompatible materials and keep dust from sources of ignition. Read and follow all label instructions.

Section VIII - Control Measures

 

Respiratory Protection (Specify Type)  Use only with adequate ventilation under engineered air control systems designed to prevent exceeding exposure limits. If the exposure limit is exceeded, use NIOSH/MSH approved respirator for fume or dust.

Eye Protection  Required for melt, grind, cut, or weld operations. Minimum requirement of safety glasses with side shields for these operations. Melting and welding may require special eye protection including face shields and specially tinted glass. Grinding operations may also require face shields.

Other Protective Clothing or Equipment  Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
