*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (DUST,
    FUME,HIGH EFFICIENCY DUST/FUME MASK FOR LEAD, OR OTHER (ORGANIC
    VAPOR) AS SPECIFIED BY AN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST OR OTHE RQUALIFIED
    PROFESSIONAL IF CONCE NTRATIONS EXCEED THE LIMITS LISTED IN
    INGREDIENTS SECTION.
Ventilation:USE WITH ADEQUATE EXPLOSION PROOF VENTILATION TO MEET
    EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Other Protective Equipment:ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE
    PROVIDED TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF PERSONAL CLOTHING.
Work Hygienic Practices:LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. GOOD INDUSTRIAL
    HYGIENE PRACTICES, INCLUDING REDUCING OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES TO AS
    LOW AS REASONABLY ACHIEVABLE, ARE RECOMMENDED.

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: FUME CAN CAUSE IRRITATION.
    ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION FROM WELDING CAN CAUSE FLASH BURNS. SKIN: CAN
    CAUSE IRRITATION. ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION FROM WELDING CAN CAUSE
    FLASH BURNS. INHALTION: CAN CAUSE RE SPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION,
    METAL FUME FEVER, AND OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS LISTED BELOW. CANCER
    HAZARD.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:WELDING FUMES ARE CARCINOGENIC & ARE
    LISTED AS AN IARC GROUP 2B. "SEE MSDS FOR DETAILS."
Effects of Overexposure:ALUMINUM IS WELDED IN A PROTECTIVE, INERT
    ATMOSPHERE SUCH AS ARGON OR HELIUM USING THE MIG OR TIG PROCESS.
    WELDING PROCESSES GENERATE WELDING FUMES AND AN INTENSE ULTRAVIOLET
    RADIATION THAT RESULTS IN  THE FORMATION OF OZONE, AND OXIDES OF
    NITROGEN. ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION FROM WLEDING CAN ALSO CAUSE FLASH
    BURNS TO THE EYES AND SKIN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE, SKIN RASHES,
    AND ASTHMA.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYES: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER OR SALINE FOR AT LEAST
    AND WATER. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. INHALTION:
    REMOVE  TO FRESH AIR. CHECK FOR AIRWAY, BREATHING, AND PRESENCE OF
    PULSE. PROVIDE CPR FOR PERSONS WITHOUT PULSE OR RESPIRATION.
    CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE METHODS APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. USE
    COARSE WATER SPRAY ON CHIPS OR TURNINGS. FOR FINES, DUST, MOLTEN
    ALUMINUM, USE CLASS D EXTINGUISHING AGENTS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR NIOSH APPROVED,
    POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL
    PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN APPROPRIATE. DO NOT USE: HALOGENTAED
    EXTINGUISHING AGENTS ON SMALL CHIP S/FINES. DO NOT USE WATER IN
    FIGHTING FIRES AROUND MOLTEN ALUMINUM.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MAY BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD UNDER THE
    FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: DUSTS OR FINES DISPERSED IN THE AIR CAN BE
    EXPLOSIVE. CHIPS, FINES, DUST IN CONTACT WITH WATER CAN GENERATE
    FLAMMABLE/EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS.  FINES & DUST IN CONTACT WITH
    CERTAIN METAL OXIDES. M0LTEN ALUMINUM IN CONTACT WITH
    WATER/MOISTURE OR OTHER METAL OXIDES.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:IF MOLTEN: CONTAIN THE FLOW USING DRY SAND OR
    SAIL FLUX AS DAM. DO NOT USE SHOVELS OR HAND TOOLS TO HALT THE FLOW
    OF MOLTEN ALUMINUM. ALLOW THE SPILL TO COOL BEFORE REMELTING AS
    SCRAP.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:PRODUCT SHOULD BE KEPT DRY. AVOID
    GENERATING DUST. AVOID CONTACT WITH SHARP EDGES OR HEATED METAL.
    HOT AND COLD ALUMINUM ARE NOT VISUALLY DIFFERENT.
Other Precautions:USE NON-SPARKING HANDLING EQUIPMENT. COVER AND RESEAL
    PARTIALLY EMPTY CONTAINERS. PROVIDE GROUNDING AND BONDING WHERE
    NECESSARY TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION OF STATIC CHARGES DURING ALUMINUM
    DUST HANDLING  AND TRANSFER OPERATIONS.
