OSHA CLASSIFICATION: Combustible, Class 2
DOT CLASS: Not Regulated. Ground – Flammable – Air / Ship
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, Dry Chemical. Use Class B extinguisher, inert granular material like sand, Class D extinguisher
with low velocity nozzle. Do not use a water hose stream.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS HAZARDS: When closed containers are exposed to excessive heat, there is the possibility
of pressure build-up inside the container.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: DO NOT USE A WATER STREAM. DO NOT USE HALOGENATED
EXTINGUISHING AGENTS, LIKE HALON OR CARBON TETRACHLORIDE. Aluminum particles suspended in air may
form an explosive mixture; avoid any disturbance which could cause a dust cloud, such as directing water streams or gas propelled fire
extinguishers into the burning material. Direct the dry chemical extinguishing agent, above the fire, to rain down on the burning
material. Care should be used when applying a dry chemical extinguishing agent because some agents can accelerate a fire where most
of the solvent in the pigment has been consumed and the aluminum flake has started to burn. If the extinguishing agent is carefully
applied, it will be very evident if it accelerates the fire. If it does, or if the fire at some point has the appearance of metal burning with
a bright, whitish glow, do not attempt to extinguish it. Isolate the fire by forming a ring with a dry, inert granular material, or Class D
extinguishing agent, then let it alone. Allow the material to become cold before disposal, because if the metal has ignited, it may
continue to burn under a crust without flames. For further information, see NFPA 651, Aluminum and Magnesium Powder - 1980

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTE OF ENTRY:
Skin, Eyes
MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MIGHT BE AGGRAVATED:
None Known
OVEREXPOSURE TO VAPOR MAY CAUSE: (ACUTE)
Overexposure is unlikely at ambient temperature. Excessive high temperatures may produce irritating vapors.
REPEATED OVEREXPOSURE TO VAPOR MAY CAUSE: (CHRONIC)
None Known
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
Eyes - Flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes to remove irritant. Consult a physician.
Skin - Wash with mild soap and water.
Inhalation - Remove to fresh air.
SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid smoking, open flames, sparks and contact with water.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Water, acids, caustics, chlorinated hydrocarbons and oxidizers. ALUMINUM - See NFPA 401 M, Manual of
Hazardous Chemical Reactions, Aluminum. To prevent possible chemical reactions, keep dry and isolate from acids caustics,
chlorinated hydrocarbons and oxidizers. Reacts with water, some acids and caustic solutions to produce hydrogen gas.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Combustion may produce smoke, CO and/or CO2 and aluminum oxide.
Reaction with other chemicals may produce hydrogen.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Remove all sparks and flames from the area and allow hot surfaces in the area to cool. Use non-sparking tools to repack
UNCONTAMINATED pigment in a dry, tightly sealed container. Check for quality. Dispose of contaminated material
or waste.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Sanitary landfill in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
VENTILATION:
General dilution type adequate to keep dust levels below TLV in Section II.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
None should be needed unless dust levels are high, then use a NIOSH approved dust respirator.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
Use chemical resistant gloves.
EYE PROTECTION:
Use eye protection appropriate for splash hazard.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Not required.
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING:
Avoid spillage and the creation of airborne dust. Vehicles in the same area should have non-sparking wheels. Store and use
in areas free of excess water vapor, contaminating vapors or gases. Do not store in the same area as oxidizing
agents or
combustible material.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
Do not take internally. Use non-sparking metal tools for transfer. All equipment should be well grounded.
