SECTION 3: PHYSICAL DATA
 

SECTION 4: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
 

Solid, massive form of material is not combustible under ordinary fire conditions. Fire and explosion hazards are moderate when material is in the form of dust and exposed to heat or flames, chemical reaction, or contact with powerful oxidizers. Fires have been reported in piles of fine scrap, possibly due to contamination from oil or other materials which support combustion. However, finely divided aluminum scrap in itself presents a moderate fire hazard.

Magnesium burns violently in air and may react vigorously with oxidizers.

Molten aluminum-lithium alloys present a serious explosion hazard when exposed to moisture. The explosion potential of molten aluminum-lithium alloys has been reported to be greater than the potential of explosions with other molten metals. Contact with moisture of any kind must be avoided.

SECTION 5: REACTIVITY DATA

Massive material is stable at ordinary temperatures, but dust presents moderate fire and explosion hazards. Material may be incompatible with acids, bases, and oxidizers. Molten scrap metal may react violently with water. For additional information, users should consult data sheets on individual component elements.

SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:         See Section 2
Primary Routes of Entry:      Inhalation of dust or fume

Under normal handling and use, exposre to the massive form of aluminum scrap presents few health hazards in itself. Thermal cutting and melting of scrap may produce fumes containing the component elements, and breathing these fumes may present potentially significant health hazards. The exposure levels in Section 2 are relevant to fumes and dusts. Special precautions should be taken if scrap is contaminated; see Section 9.

Inhalation of finely divided aluminum powder may cause pulmonary fibrosis. Overexposure to dusts and especially fumes containing component elements of aluminum alloys may cause skin, nose, mouth and eye irritation and lung changes in workers, potentially leading to pulmonary diseases.

Fumes of cadmium, copper, magnesium, manganese, and zinc oxide may cause metal fume fever with flu-like symptoms. Copper may cause skin and hair discoloration; silver may cause a grayish pigmentation of the skin, and can cause irritation of the skin and mucous membranes. Magnesium particles imbedded in the skin may cause severe lesions, with slow healing. Cobalt is irritating to the eyes and skin, and can cause an allergic dermatitis, especially in combination with nickel and chromium.

Overexposure to cadmium fumes or dusts may cause chest pains, shortness of breath, lung changes, and pulmonary edema, ultimately leading to death. Cadmium may also cause damage to the liver and kidneys.

Overexposure to manganese fumes can cause chronic manganese poisoning. Early symptoms include headaches, apathy, sleepiness, and weakness or cramps in the legs. Chronic overexposure can affect the central nervous system, ultimately leading to emotional disturbances, gait and balance difficulties, and paralysis.

Overexposure to tin dusts may cause irritation of the skin and mucous membranes, and may result in a benign pneumoconiosis (stannosis).

Overexposure to antimony may cause gastrointestinal upset and various nervous complaints, such as sleeplessness, irritability, and muscular pains. Inhalation of lead fumes or dusts, or ingestion of lead compounds, can cause lead poisoning, characterized by abdominal pains, joint and muscle pains, or weakness. Prolonged overexposure can cause central nervous system disorders.

Beryllium, chromium, and nickel compounds have been associated with allergic reactions and rashes, and lung changes. Beryllium and nickel are respiratory irritants and can cause pneumoritis. Chronic beryllium overexposure can cause lung disease, characterized by shortness of breath, cough, and fatigue, and ultimately may lead to respiratory and cardiac failure.

Antimony trioxide, beryllium, cadmium, cobalt-chromium alloy, and nickel have been identified as potential cancer-causing agents.

First Aid:

SECTION 7: SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

No special precautions are necessary for spills of bulk material. If large quantities of dust are spilled, remove by vacuuming or wet sweeping to prevent heavy concentrations of airborne dust. Clean-up personnel should wear respirators and protective clothing.

Scrap metal can be reclaimed for reuse. Follow federal, state and local regulations regarding disposal.

SECTION 8: SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

Use general and local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentration of dust or fumes below the TLV. Employees should wear MSHA or NIOSH approved respirators for protection against airborne dust or fumes. Full protective clothing should be worn by workers exposed to heavy concentrations of dust, and showering should be required before changing into street clothes. Gloves and barrier creams may be necessary to prevent skin sensitization and dermatitis.

Approved safety glasses or goggles should be worn when working with dusty material. Safety eyewash stations should be provided in close proximity to work areas.

Pre-employment and periodic medical evaluation should be provided. Attention should be directed toward skin, eyes, respiratory tract, blood, kidneys, pulmonary function, and neurologic health. Chest X-rays should be included if symptoms are present.

Food should not be consumed in work area.

Special attention is drawn to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards for lead (29 CFR 1910.1025) and arsenic (29 CFR 1910.1018). State OSHA programs will also have similar requirements.

Special precautions should be taken if scrap is contaminated; see Section 9.

SECTION 9: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

Use good housekeeping practices to prevent accumulations of dust and to keep airborne dust concentrations at a minimum. Avoid breathing dust or fumes.

Store material away from incompatible materials, and keep dust away from sources of ignition.
See recommendations in Section 4 concerning molten aluminum-lithium alloys and moisture.
This material is potentially contaminated with coatings, paints, preservatives, cutting oils, and other contaminants. If the material is contaminated, special precautions (such as process control and personal protective equipment, appropriate to the nature of the suspected contaminants) should be taken to avoid resulting exposures when handling, cutting (mechanical or thermal), and/or melting.

Effects of Overexposure:

Chronic inhalation of high concentrations of iron oxide fumes or dusts may lead to a benign
pneumoconiosis (siderosis). Inhalation of high concentrations of ferric oxide may possibly
enhance the risk of lung cancer development in workers exposed to pulmonary carcinogens.

The inhalation of high concentrations of freshly formed oxide fumes and dusts of Manganese,
Copper, Lead and/or Zinc in the respirable particle size range can cause an influenza-like illness termed metal fume fever. Typical symptoms last 12 to 48 hours and are characterized by metallic taste in mouth, dryness and irritation of the throat, followed by weakness, muscle pain, fever and chills. Continuous exposures to high concentrations of manganese can cause central nervous system disorders and "manganese pneumonia." Fibrosis of lung tissue from manganese exposures has also been reported for products containing manganese only.

Long term inhalation exposure to high concentrations (overexposure) to pneumoconiotic agents may act synergistically with inhalation of oxides, fumes or dusts of this product to cause toxic effects.

SECTION 2: HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS

The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200; 48 FR 53280 (November 25, 1983) is intended to ensure that the hazards of all "hazardous chemicals" be identified and that this information, along with information on protective measures be passed along to users in the manufacturing sector and their employees. The Material Safety Data Sheet or MSDS is the vehicle designed to convey this information.

OSHA realizes that requests would be made for MSDS's on materials not readily classified as "hazardous chemicals". Therefore, they provided for four categories of substances which are excluded from the standard. (See 48 FR 53289, 53290, 53340.)

One of these exemptions is for "articles". An article is defined as "any item formed into specific shape or design for a particular end use function..." 48 FR 53289. Since Polyester 501 meets this definition and does not release or cause exposure to a hazardous chemical no MSDS is required.
