Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: silver white solid.
Warning! Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes digestive and respiratory tract irritation. May cause blood abnormalities. May cause cardiac disturbances. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal-fume fever.
Target Organs: Kidneys, liver, cardiovascular system.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. Chronic exposure may cause dizziness, dry throat, sleepiness, anorexia, and nausea. Chronic inhalation may result in liver, kidney, and cardiac changes.
Ingestion: May cause severe digestive tract irritation with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause slow pluse, low blood pressure, shallow breathing, and
Inhalation: Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and increased white blood cell count.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic exposure may cause dizziness, dry throat, sleepiness, anorexia, and nausea. Chronic inhalation may result in liver, kidney, and cardiac changes.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote: The use of Dimercaprol or BAL (British Anti-Lewisite) as a chelating agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Material will burn in a fire. Dust can be an explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Bulk metal is combustible in air at high temperatures.
Extinguishing Media: DO NOT USE WATER, CO2, OR FOAM DIRECTLY ON FIRE ITSELF. Use dry sand, graphite powder, dry sodium chloride-based extinguishers.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: 626 deg F ( 330.00 deg C)
Explosion Limits, Lower:0.42 oz/ft3
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Avoid generating dusty conditions.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage: Keep away from heat and flame. Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Tarnishes in moist air.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
