3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Mercury is a silver-white, odorless, heavy liquid. Mercury is highly toxic, irritating, and causes sensitization and neurological symptoms. The primary health hazard associated with overexposure to this product is the potential for irritation of skin, eyes, or other contaminated tissues. Mercury causes severe, adverse health effects after chronic exposure to low vapor levels; emergency response efforts must be directed to removal of all traces of this product. Mercury is not flammable, and is relatively stable (though it can react with many metals to form amalgams). Emergency responders must wear the personal protective equipment suitable for the situation to which they are responding.

SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most significant routes of occupational over-exposure are inhalation and contact with skin and eyes. The symptoms of over-exposure to Mercury, via route of exposure, are as follows: INHALATION: Long-term exposures to Mercury vapors present a severe health hazard. When inhaled, Mercury will be rapidly distributed throughout the body. During this time, Mercury will cross the blood-brain barrier, and become oxidized to the Hg(II) oxidation state. The oxidized species of Mercury cannot cross the blood-brain barrier and thus accumulates in the brain. Mercury in other organs is removed slowly from the body via the kidneys. The average half-time for clearance of Mercury for different parts of the human body is as follows: lung: 1.7 days; head: 21 days; kidney region: 64 days; chest: 43 days; whole body: 58 days. Long-term inhalation over-exposures can lead to the development of a wide variety of symptoms, including the following: excessive salivation, gingivitis, anorexia, chills, fever, cardiac abnormalities, anemia, digestive problems, abdominal pains, frequent urination, an inability to urinate, diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy (numbness, weakness, or burning sensations in the hands or feet), tremors (especially in the hands, fingers, eyelids, lips, cheeks, tongue, or legs), alteration of tendon reflexes, slurred speech, visual disturbances, and deafness. Allergic reactions (i.e. breathing difficulty) may also occur in sensitive individuals. The principal target organ associated with chronic Mercury exposures via inhalation is the central nervous system. Such exposures lead to the development of “Erethism”. This syndrome consists of subtle or dramatic changes in behavior and personality: depression, fearfulness, restlessness, irritability, timidity, and indecision. These psychic and behavioral characteristics are often accompanied by insomnia, drowsiness, headache, and fatigue. In advanced cases, memory loss, hallucinations, and mental deterioration may occur. Another, less common, syndrome associated with Mercury over-exposure is “Acrodynia”. Symptoms of this syndrome include a pink color to the extremities, apathy, fever, kidney problems, sensitivity to light, generalized edema, and a painful scaling of the skin of the hands and feet. Other symptoms of chronic over-exposure to Mercury can include loosening of the teeth, inflammation of the mucous membranes, a dark blue line appearing along gingival margins, abnormal blushing, excessive sweating, and rashes. Reproductive effects, sexual disorders, and impotence may also develop in the event of Mercury over-exposure. Short-term over-exposures to high concentrations of mercury vapors can lead to breathing difficulty, coughing, acute, chemical pneumonia, and pulmonary edema (a potentially fatal accumulation of fluid in the lungs). Depending on the concentration of over-exposure, cardiac abnormalities, damage to the kidney, liver or nerves and effects on the brain may occur. If this product is heated, and exposure to Mercury fumes occurs, “Metal Fume Fever” may develop. This syndrome is a flu-like illness which occurs when metal oxides below 1.5 microns in size are inhaled. Symptoms of this syndrome may develop 4-12 hours after exposure and begin with the onset of thirst, metallic taste in the mouth, and symptoms of Mercury poisoning as described above. All symptoms generally subside within 24-36 hours after the over-exposure ends. CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: Mercury can be irritating to contaminated skin and eyes. Symptoms of skin exposure can include redness, dry skin, and pain. Prolonged contact may lead to ulceration of the skin. Allergic reactions (i.e. rashes, welts) may occur in sensitive individuals. Dermatitis (redness and inflammation of the skin) may occur after repeated skin exposures. Symptoms of eye exposure can include redness, pain, and watery eyes. A symptom of Mercury exposure is discoloration of the lens of the eyes.

3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (Continued) SKIN ABSORPTION: Skin absorption is a significant route of potential over-exposure to Mercury. Currently, no quantitative estimates of the rate of penetration are available. Symptoms of such over-exposure would include redness and irritation of the contaminated area, as well as the development of symptoms described for “Inhalation”. INGESTION: Ingestion is not anticipated to be a significant route of occupational over-exposure. If Mercury is swallowed, symptoms of such over-exposure can include metallic taste in mouth, nausea, vomiting, central nervous system effects, and damage to the kidneys. Metallic mercury is not usually absorbed sufficiently from the gastrointestinal tract to induce an acute, toxic response. Damage to the tissues of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and other tissues of the digestive system may occur. Ingestion may be fatal, due to effects on gastrointestinal system and kidneys. INJECTION: Injection is not anticipated to be a significant route of over-exposure for this product. If Mercury is injected (i.e. though abrasions and lacerations of the skin), local redness and pain will occur. Other symptoms of such exposure can include the development of embolisms (Mercury blocking a vein or artery), malaise, chest pain, and difficulty in breathing. HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms. The most severe health effects associated with Mercury exposure are related to long-term exposures to vapors. In the event of over-exposure, the following symptoms may be observed: ACUTE: Mercury can be irritating to contaminated skin and eyes. Short-term over-exposures to high concentrations of mercury vapors can lead to breathing difficulty, coughing, acute, and potentially fatal lung disorders. Depending on the concentration of inhalation over-exposure, heart problems, damage to the kidney, liver or nerves and effects on the brain may occur. CHRONIC: Long-term over-exposure can lead to a wide range of adverse health effects. Anyone using Mercury must pay attention to personality changes, weight loss, skin or gum discolorations, stomach pains, and other signs of Mercury over-exposure. Gradually developing syndromes (“Erethism” and “Acrodynia”) are indicative of potentially severe health problems. Mercury can cause the development of allergic reactions (i.e. dermatitis, rashes, breathing difficulty) upon prolonged or repeated exposures. Refer to Section 11 (Toxicology Information) for additional data. TARGET ORGANS: ACUTE: Skin, eyes, respiratory system, central nervous system, brain. CHRONIC: Skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, brain, blood system, kidneys, and reproductive system.

PART II What should I do if a hazardous situation occurs?

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES Contaminated individuals must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention, if necessary. Take a copy of label and MSDS to health professional with victim. SKIN EXPOSURE: If Mercury contaminates the skin, immediately begin decontamination with running water. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. The contaminated individual must seek immediate medical attention. EYE EXPOSURE: If Mercury contaminates the eyes, open the victim's eyes while under gently running water. Use sufficient force to open eyelids. Have the contaminated individual "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. The contaminated individual must seek immediate medical attention. INHALATION: If Mercury vapors are inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. If necessary, use artificial respiration to support vital functions. Remove or cover gross contamination to avoid exposure to rescuers. The contaminated individual must seek immediate medical attention. INGESTION: If Mercury is swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. If professional advice is not available, induce vomiting. Have victim rinse mouth with water, or drink several cupfuls of water, if conscious. Never induce vomiting or give diluents (milk or water) to someone who is unconscious, having convulsions, or unable to swallow. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Preexisting respiratory problems, dermatitis, central nervous system disorders, kidney problems, and liver dysfunctions can be aggravated by exposure to this product. RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS: Treatment for Mercury over-exposure must be given. The following treatment protocol for ingestion of Mercury is from Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products (5th Edition, 1984).

1. As soon as possible, have patient drink milk or slurry of activated charcoal to help precipitate mercury in the stomach. 2. Gastric lavage with tap water, milk, or 2-5% solution of sodium bicarbonate, unless spontaneous vomiting is intense

and productive, 3. Administer through the lavage tube 0.5-1.0 oz. of sodium or magnesium sulfate in 6-8 oz. of water (unless spontaneous

purging has already begun) and a slurry of activated charcoal. 4. Administer BAL (Dimercaprol; 3 mg/kg or 0.3 mL/10 kg) intramuscularly as a 10% solution in oil. If given within three

hours after ingestion, severe renal damage may be prevented. Collect urine before and after BAL therapy for mercury analysis.

5. Demulcents (i.e. milk of magnesia, starch, bismuth subcarbonate) and analgesic drugs may be useful and necessary.

MERCURY MSDS

PAGE 4 OF 10

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES (Continued) RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS (continued): 6. Because the BAL-Mercury Complex excreted in bile may be partly resorbed in the bowel, it is probably useful to

administer activated charcoal every few hours, starting as soon as vomiting subsides. 7. Treat shock by correcting dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. If renal insufficiency develops, treat for acute renal

failure. 8. The maintenance of an adequate nutritional status may be troublesome if gastrointestinal disorders becomes severe or

persistent. 9. If toxic signs or symptoms recur after an apparent recovery, another course of chelation therapy is warranted. BAL is

still appropriate, but a trial with D-Penicillamine or N-acetyl-D,L-penicillamine may be preferable. Either penicillamine compound is given by mouth, usually on an empty stomach, in a dose of 250 mg (4 times daily for adults; 3 times daily in children; 5-10 days). Penicillamine should be withheld until mercury is cleared out of the bowels. A chelating agent should be used until the urine-mercury level falls below 50µg/24 hours.

Laboratory Analysis: Determination of β2-Microglobulins has been recommended as a useful test for renal function. Electroencephalographic changes may be correlated closely with the clinical state. Analysis of the blood, hair, urine, or feces can be done to determine the level of Mercury exposure. Mercury deposits in the body can be observed in X-Rays.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES FLASH POINT: Not flammable. AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable. FLAMMABLE LIMITS (in air by volume, %): Lower (LEL): Not applicable. Upper (UEL): Not applicable. FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS:

Water Spray: YES Carbon Dioxide: YES

Foam: YES Dry Chemical: YES

Halon: YES Other: Any "ABC" Class. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Mercury vapors and mercury oxides generated during fires involving this product are toxic; additionally, this element can be irritating to contaminated tissue. Therefore, this product presents a severe health hazard to firefighters. Mercury is not flammable, and is relatively stable (though it can react with many metals to form amalgams). Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive. Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not sensitive. SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Incipient fire responders should wear eye protection. Structural firefighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and full protective equipment. Move fire-exposed containers if it can be done without risk to firefighters. Apply cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed to flame until well after fire is out. Decontaminate all equipment thoroughly after the conclusion of fire-fighting activities. If possible, prevent run-off water from entering storm drains, bodies of water, or other environmentally sensitive areas.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE: Uncontrolled releases should be responded to by trained personnel using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective equipment should be used. In case of a Mercury release, clear the affected area, protect people, and respond with trained personnel. In the event of a release under 1 pound of Mercury, the minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be Level C: triple-gloves (rubber gloves and nitrile gloves over latex gloves), chemical resistant suit and boots, hard-hat, and Air-Purifying Respirator with cartridge appropriate for Mercury. Level B, which includes Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus, must be worn if the amount of Mercury released is over 1 pound or when the concentration of oxygen in atmospheres is less than 19.5% or unknown. If necessary, dike area of release with suitable absorbent materials. There are a variety of methods which can be used to clean-up Mercury spills. Use a commercially-available Mercury Spill Kit for small spills. A suction pump with aspirator can also be used during clean-up operations. For larger releases, a Mercury vacuum can be used. Calcium polysulfide or excess sulfur can also be used for clean-up. Mercury can migrate into cracks and other difficult-to-clean areas; calcium polysulfide and sulfur can be sprinkled effectively into these areas. Decontaminate the area thoroughly. The area should be inspected visually and with colorimetric tubes for Mercury to ensure all traces of Mercury have been removed prior to re-occupation by non-emergency personnel. Decontaminate all equipment used in response thoroughly. If such equipment cannot be adequately decontaminated, it must be discarded with other spill residue. Place all spill residue in an appropriate container, seal immediately, and label appropriately. Dispose of in accordance with U.S. Federal, State, and local hazardous waste disposal regulations and regulations of Canada and it’s Provinces. (see Section 13, Disposal Considerations).

Mercury has also been reported to produce adverse reproductive effects in test animals.

A mutagen is a chemical which causes permanent changes to genetic material (DNA) such that the changes will propagate through generational lines. An embryotoxin is a chemical which causes damage to a developing embryo (i.e. within the first eight weeks of pregnancy in humans), but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A teratogen is a chemical which causes damage to a developing fetus, but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A reproductive toxin is any substance which interferes in any way with the reproductive process.

BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES: The following Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) have been determined for Mercury.

CHEMICAL DETERMINANT SAMPLING TIME BEI MERCURY • Total inorganic mercury in urine • Total inorganic mercury in blood

• Preshift • End of shift at end of workweek

• 35 µg/g creatinine • 15 µg/L

Note: Women of child-bearing potential, whose blood Pb exceeds 10 µg/dl, are at risk of delivering a child with a blood Pb over the current Center for Disease Control Quideline of 10 µg/dl. If the blood Pb of such children remains elevated, they may be at increased risk of cognitive deficits. The blood Pb of these children should be closely monitored and appropriate steps should be taken to minimize the child’s exposure to environmental lead.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ALL WORK PRACTICES MUST BE AIMED AT ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION. ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY: Mercury is stable, and persists for long periods in ambient environmental conditions. The following environmental data are available for this element:

The biological half-life of mercury in fish is approximately 2 to 3 years. Mercury bioaccumulates and concentrates in the food chain. Concentration may be as much as 10,000 times that of water. Mercury is concentrated by animals, plants and fishes. Chinook salmon fed contaminated fingerlings concentrated Mercury in the liver and kidneys. Methyl mercury is formed naturally in aquatic and terrestrial environments from elemental mercury. Methylation is likely to occur in upper sedimentary layers of sea or lake bottoms.

EFFECT OF MATERIAL ON PLANTS or ANIMALS: Mercury can be harmful or fatal to contaminated plant or animal life. EFFECT OF CHEMICAL ON AQUATIC LIFE: Mercury can be harmful or fatal to contaminated aquatic plant or animal life in contaminated bodies of water. The following aquatic toxicity data are available for Mercury: MERCURY: LC50 (Catfish) = 0.35 mg/L/ 96 hours (conditions of bioassay not specified) LC50 (Modiolus carvalhoi) (mollusk) = 0.5 ppm / 48 hours; 0.19 ppm - 96 hours (conditions of bioassay not specified) LC50 (Rana hexadactyla) (tadpoles) = 0.051 ppm / 96 hours (conditions of bioassay not specified)

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS PREPARING WASTES FOR DISPOSAL: Waste disposal must be in accordance with appropriate Federal, State, and local regulations.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS A large number of abbreviations and acronyms appear on a MSDS. Some of these which are commonly used include the following: CAS #: This is the Chemical Abstract Service Number which uniquely identifies each constituent. EXPOSURE LIMITS IN AIR: ACGIH - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, a professional association which establishes exposure limits. TLV - Threshold Limit Value - an airborne concentration of a substance which represents conditions under which it is generally believed that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed without adverse effect. The duration must be considered, including the 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA), the 15-minute Short Term Exposure Limit, and the instantaneous Ceiling Level (C). Skin absorption effects must also be considered. OSHA - U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. PEL - Permissible Exposure Limit - This exposure value means exactly the same as a TLV, except that it is enforceable by OSHA. The OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits are based in the 1989 PELs and the June, 1993 Air Contaminants Rule (Federal Register: 58: 35338-35351 and 58: 40191). Both the current PELs and the vacated PELs are indicated. The phrase, “Vacated 1989 PEL,” is placed next to the PEL which was vacated by Court Order. IDLH - Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health - This level represents a concentration from which one can escape within 30-minutes without suffering escape-preventing or permanent injury. The DFG - MAK is the Republic of Germany’s Maximum Exposure Level, similar to the U.S. PEL. NIOSH is the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, which is the research arm of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). NIOSH issues exposure guidelines called Recommended Exposure Levels (RELs). When no exposure guidelines are established, an entry of NE is made for reference. HAZARD RATINGS: HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM: Health Hazard: 0 (minimal acute or chronic exposure hazard); 1 (slight acute or chronic exposure hazard); 2 (moderate acute or significant chronic exposure hazard); 3 (severe acute exposure hazard; onetime overexposure can result in permanent injury and may be fatal); 4 (extreme acute exposure hazard; onetime overexposure can be fatal). Flammability Hazard: 0 (minimal hazard); 1 (materials that require substantial pre-heating before burning); 2 (combustible liquid or solids; liquids with a flash point of 38-93°C [100-200°F]); 3 (Class IB and IC flammable liquids with flash points below 38°C [100°F]); 4 (Class IA flammable liquids with flash points below 23°C [73°F] and boiling points below 38°C [100°F]. Reactivity Hazard: 0 (normally stable); 1 (material that can become unstable at elevated temperatures or which can react slightly with water); 2 (materials that are unstable but do not detonate or which can react violently with water); 3 (materials that can detonate when initiated or which can react explosively with water); 4 (materials that can detonate at normal temperatures or pressures). NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION: Health Hazard: 0 (material that on exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible materials); 1 (materials that on exposure under fire conditions could cause irritation or minor residual injury); 2 (materials that on intense or continued exposure under fire conditions could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury); 3 (materials that can on short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury); 4 (materials that under very short exposure causes death or major residual injury). Flammability Hazard and Reactivity Hazard: Refer to definitions for “Hazardous Materials Identification System”.

FLAMMABILITY LIMITS IN AIR: Much of the information related to fire and explosion is derived from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Flash Point - Minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off sufficient vapors to form an ignitable mixture with air. Autoignition Temperature: The minimum temperature required to initiate combustion in air with no other source of ignition. LEL - the lowest percent of vapor in air, by volume, that will explode or ignite in the presence of an ignition source. UEL - the highest percent of vapor in air, by volume, that will explode or ignite in the presence of an ignition source. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Human and Animal Toxicology: Possible health hazards as derived from human data, animal studies, or from the results of studies with similar compounds are presented. Definitions of some terms used in this section are: LD50 - Lethal Dose (solids & liquids) which kills 50% of the exposed animals; LC50 - Lethal Concentration (gases) which kills 50% of the exposed animals; ppm concentration expressed in parts of material per million parts of air or water; mg/m3 concentration expressed in weight of substance per volume of air; mg/kg quantity of material, by weight, administered to a test subject, based on their body weight in kg. Other measures of toxicity include TDLo, the lowest dose to cause a symptom and TCLo the lowest concentration to cause a symptom; TDo, LDLo, and LDo, or TC, TCo, LCLo, and LCo, the lowest dose (or concentration) to cause lethal or toxic effects. Cancer Information: The sources are: IARC - the International Agency for Research on Cancer; NTP - the National Toxicology Program, RTECS - the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances, OSHA and CAL/OSHA. IARC and NTP rate chemicals on a scale of decreasing potential to cause human cancer with rankings from 1 to 4. Subrankings (2A, 2B, etc.) are also used. Other Information: BEI - ACGIH Biological Exposure Indices, represent the levels of determinants which are most likely to be observed in specimens collected from a healthy worker who has been exposed to chemicals to the same extent as a worker with inhalation exposure to the TLV. Ecological Information: EC is the effect concentration in water. BCF = Bioconcentration Factor, which is used to determine if a substance will concentrate in lifeforms which consume contaminated plant or animal matter. Coefficient of Oil/Water Distribution is represented by log Kow or log Koc and is used to assess a substance’s behavior in the environment. REGULATORY INFORMATION: This section explains the impact of various laws and regulations on the material. U.S.: EPA is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. DOT is the U.S. Department of Transportation. SARA is the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. TSCA is the U.S. Toxic Substance Control Act. CERCLA (or Superfund) refers to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Labeling is per the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z129.1). CANADA: CEPA is the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. WHMIS is the Canadian Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. TC is Transport Canada. DSL/NDSL are the Canadian Domestic/Non-Domestic Substances Lists. The CPR is the Canadian Product Regulations. This section also includes information on the precautionary warnings which appear on the materials package label.

IV. EMERGENCY MEDICAL PROCEDURES INHALATION: EYE CONTACT: SKIN CONTACT: INGESTION:

Remove to fresh air; if condition continues, consult a physician. Flush thoroughly with running water to remove particulate; obtain medical attention. Remove particles by washing thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention if condition persists. If significant amounts of metal are ingested, consult physician.

V. HEALTH/SAFETY INFORMATION Health For standard operations (e.g. melting, cutting, grinding), aluminum alloys present a low health risk

by inhalation and are usually considered a nuisance dust. Toxicity by ingestion -- none expected. Skin and eyes -- not an irritant. Welding and plasma cutting of alloys high in copper (2000 and 7000 series) may present the potential for overexposure to copper fumes which can result in upper respiratory tract irritation, nausea, and metal fume fever. Nickel and chromium are other alloying elements considered hazardous as fume; however, they do not present a carcinogenic or other health concerns due to their low concentrations of the chemical form in which they are present. Overexposure to lead fumes over an extended period of time can result in such troxic effects as central nervous system disturbances, renal changes, peripheral neuropathy, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, and chromosomal changes. The welding of aluminum alloys may generate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ozone nitrogen oxides, infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation.

STABILITY _ Stable _ Unstable

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID) Reacts with strong acids to form hydrogen gas.

Reactivity

CONDITIONS TO AVOID Aluminum products under normal conditions are stable during use, storage and transportation. Halogen acids and sodium hydroxide in contact with aluminum may generate explosive mixtures of hydrogen. Finely divided aluminum, such as small chips and fines, will form explosive mixtures in air. It also will form explosive mixtures in air in the presence of bromates, iodates, or ammonium nitrate. Strong oxidizers cause violent reactions with considerable heat generation.

VI. ENVIRONMENTAL SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Fine turnings and small chips should be swept or vacuumed. Scrap metal can be reclaimed for reuse.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD* Used or unused product should be disposed of in accordance with Federal, State or Local Laws and Regulations. *Disposer must comply with Federal, State and Local disposal or discharge laws.

VII. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Do not touch cast aluminum metal or heated aluminum product without knowing metal temperature. Aluminum experiences no color change during heating. Burns could result. Series 2000 and 7000 alloys should be stress relieved prior to sawing or cutting to avoid cracking. Aluminum power must be packaged and shipped as a flammable solid. Minimize and control operations producing dust and fume.

This product contains a residual amount of a chemical substance that may cause an allergic skin and/or respiratory reaction. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: Eye contact may cause slight irritation. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: May cause mild skin irritation. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: No inhalation hazard expected during normal workplace use. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion is not an expected route of entry in industrial or commercial uses. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: IARC has designated titanium dioxide (TiO2) as Group 2B – possibly carcinogenic to humans in dust form. However, a number of long term animal studies and human epidemiology studies evaluating TiO2 and workplace exposure show insufficient evidence for carcinogenic affects. EPA, NTP and OSHA do not designate TiO2 as a carcinogen and ACGIH designates TiO2 as A4 - not classifiable as a human carcinogen. TiO2 is not present in this product as a dust and no airborne exposure is expected during application. This product contains methylpolysiloxanes which can generate formaldehyde at approximately 300 degrees F (150 C) and above, in atmospheres which contain oxygen. Formaldehyde is a skin and respiratory sensitizer, eye and throat irritant, acute toxicant, and known cancer hazard. Workplace exposure to formaldehyde is regulated by OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1048. PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Skin Contact, Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact
