LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHAL: NOT LIKELY UNLESS MATL
MACHINED, WELDED/REMELTED. EXPOSURE TO ZINC OXIDE FUME CAN RESULT
IN "ZINC CHILLS" (METAL FUME FEVER). THE TEMPORARY SYMPTOMS CAN
INCLUDE FEVER, CHILLS, NAUSEA, VOMITING & MUSCULAR PAIN. RECOVERY
IS USUALLY COMPLETE IN 24 TO 48 HOURS. OVEREXP TO COPPER FUME CAN
CAUSE UPPER(EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRIT. INGEST: NOT
LIKELY. MAY IRRIT EYES WHEN WELDING/PLASMA CUTTING. SOME ALUMINUM
SCRAP MAY BE CONTAMD W/OIL LEVELS >1%. MELTING OF ALUMINUM SCRAP
MAY GENERATE OIL VAPS WHICH ARE IRRIT TO EYES & UPPER RESP TRACT.
PRLNG/RPTD SKIN W/OIL MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRIT.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

First Aid:SKIN: REMOVE PARTICLES BY THOROUGHLY WASHING WITH SOAP &
WATER. EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET MED ATTN
IF IRRIT PERSISTS. INHAL: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. GET MED ATTN IF
EXPERIENCIN G BREATHING DIFFICULTY. INGEST: CALL MDIMMEDIATELY .

Extinguishing Media:DRY POWDER OR SAND.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & FULL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT USE WATER OR HALOGEN ON DUST FIRES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:DAMP ALUMINUM DUST MAY SPONT HEAT
W/LIBERATION OF HYDROGEN TO FORM EXPLO AIR MIXS. FINELY DIVIDED
ALUMINUM WILL FORM EXPLO MIXS IN AIR. IT WILL ALSO (SUPP DATA)

Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT TOUCH CAST ALUMINUM
METAL/HEATED ALUMINUM PROD W/OUT KNOWNING METAL TEMP. ALUMINUM
EXPERIENCES NO COLOR CHANGE DURING HEATING.
Other Precautions:VAPOR DEGREASER MUST BE PROPERLY MAINTAINED TO LIMIT
THE ACCUM OF ALUMINUM FINES. THE ACCUM OF ALUMINUM FINES COULD RSLT
IN POTNTL DEGREASER FIRE/EXPLO. HARD ALLOY INGOTS IN THE 2000 &
7000 SERIES MUS T BE STRESS-RELIEVED TO PVNT (ING 12)

Other Protective Equipment:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EXPLO HAZ: FORM EXPLO MIXS IN AIR IN PRESENCE OF BROMATES,
IODATES/AMMONIUM NITRATE. CNDTN TO AVOID: CAUSE AN EXPLO. THIS
APPLIES TO COLLECTION OF MOISTURE IN SOW CAVITIES AS WELL. MOISTURE
MUST BE DR IVEN OFF PRIOR TO REMELTING. HAZ DECOMP: INFRA-RED RADIA
& ULTRA-VIOLET RADIA IN ADDITION TO METAL FUME.
