Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eye Contact:Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Serious Skin Contact: Not available.

Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.

Serious Inhalation: Not available.

Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Small Spill: Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.

Large Spill: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions:

Do not ingest. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis.

Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Moisture sensitive.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.

Personal Protection: Safety glasses. Lab coat. Gloves. Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill: Safety glasses. Lab coat. Gloves.

Exposure Limits: TWA: 5 (mg(Al)/m) from ACGIH (TLV) [United States] Inhalation (pyro powders, welding fumes) TWA: 10 (mg(Al)/m) from ACGIH (TLV) [United States] Inhalation (metal dust) Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.

Section 10: Stability and Reactivity Data

Stability: The product is stable.

Instability Temperature: Not available.

Conditions of Instability: Incompatible materials, exposure to moist air or water.

Incompatibility with various substances: Reactive with oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis.

Corrosivity: Not available.

Special Remarks on Reactivity:

Moisture sensitive. Aluminum reacts vigorously with Sodium Hydroxide. Aluminum is also incompatible with strong oxdizers, acids, chromic anhydride, iodine, carbon disulfide, methyl chloride, and halogenated hydrocarbons, acid chlorides, ammonium nitrate, ammonium persulfate, antimony, arsenic oxides, barium bromate, barium chlorate, barium iodate, metal salts

Special Remarks on Corrosivity: In moist air, oxide film forms which protects metal from corrosion. Aluminum is strongly electropositive so that it corrodes rapidly in contact with other metals.

Polymerization: Will not occur.
