    SECTION 4 : FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

    Fire /Explosion hazards  Not a hazard as solid ingot. On further


    processing, fine particles may be easily
    ignitable.
     Molten metal in contact with
    water/moisture or certain metal oxides
    (e.g., rust, copper oxide) can create
    explosion.
     Moisture or water entrapped in cracks on
    top surface of ingots can lead to explosion
    when charged without preheating.
    Suitable Extinguishing Media Use Dry-powder extinguisher.
    Do not use water or halogenated media.

    Protective equipment for firefighters Fire fighters should wear NIOSH approved, positive
    pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus and
    full protective clothing when appropriate.

    SECTION 5 : REACTIVITY DATA

    Stability Stable under normal conditions of use, storage and


    transportation
    Hazardous Polymerization Will not occur
    Conditions to avoid Molten aluminium can react violently with water
    Incompatible materials Water and Strong acids
    Hazardous Decomposition Products  With water: slowly generates hydrogen,
    ammonia and heat. May create a hazard
    when contained.
     With Heat: oxidizes at a temperature
    dependent rate.
     With strong oxidizers: violent reaction with
    much heat generation.
     With acids and alkalis: reacts to generate
    hydrogen.

    SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARD DATA

    General A dust free Solid ingot does not imply any


    health risk. Cutting, welding, grinding etc. will
    generate dust / fumes which may imply
    health risk.
    Contact with hot metal can lead to severe
    burns.

    SECTION 7: DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

    Disposal  This product is not considered to be


    hazardous to the environment.
     Recycling is the preferred method of disposal.
     Keep the material in dry containers to prevent
    contact with water.

    SECTION 8: HANDLING AND STORAGE

    Handling Add only completely dry and/or preheated


    Ingots/Sows in order to avoid risk of explosion.
    Ingots may have sharp edges, chips and burrs.
    Binding strap can cause cut injury if handled without
    wearing hand gloves.
    During handling by fork lift, bundle may topple causing
    injuries to persons nearby.
    Storage precautions Ingots should be stored dry and free from oil and dust.
    Pay attention to stack stability if bundles are put on
    each other.

    SECTION 9 : SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

    Personal protective equipment  Eye protection: wear safety glasses or goggles


    as appropriate when handling or working with
    ingot.
     Skin protection: Wear heat- resistant leather
    gloves, long-sleeved shirts, full trousers, safety
    shoes, etc. for protection against sharp edges
     Respiratory protection: Wear respiratory
    protection with particle filter in dusty
    conditions and when cutting, welding, grinding
