Metallic Powders & Pastes Aluminum in the presence of water will over time react chemically giving off Hydrogen (H2) gas. When using aluminum products with water systems, DO NOT SEAL AND STORE MIXTURE. Use as soon as possible after mixing. Crescent Bronze products containing Aluminum: HEALTH HAZARDS Bronze powders are slightly toxic and inhalation of dust may cause acute irritation of the nose and/or throat or cause metal fume fever. Care should be taken to insure adequate ventilation and procedures should be followed which reduce exposure to airborne particles. A NIOSH-MSHA approved respirator should be utilized. Aluminum powder is toxic and causes acute irritation of eye, nose, lung, skin and mucous membrane. Minimize exposure by providing approved dust masks, safety glasses, gloves and other protective equipment. FLAMMABILITY HAZARDS Aluminum powder in bulk is difficult to ignite. However, once suspended in a dust-air cloud, it can be readily ignited and very explosive. Avoid dust could generation. Utilize non-sparking tools when transferring contents. Material should be used in rooms designated as explosion proof. Always keep unused containers tightly sealed. In the event of an aluminum fire, never employ water as an extinguishing media. Water will react with hot aluminum and create hydrogen gas, which will spread the fire. Use an inert granular material such as sand, or an approved powder-extinguishing agent. If an extinguishing agent is used, it should be utilized with a low velocity nozzle so as not to generate potentially explosive dust clouds. Fluorescent, Pearlescent, Phosphorescent Pigments Due to the dusting nature of these pigments, an appropriate respirator should be used to avoid irritation of the respiratory tract. Protective gloves and eye protection should also be used. Use in a well ventilated area as high concentrations of dust may create an explosive environment. These pigments do give off hazardous fumes when exposed to temperatures over 1000°F. For additional health & safety information, please refer to your Material Safety Data Sheet. |
