SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
10.1. Reactivity: Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal conditions.
10.2. Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended handling and storage conditions (see section 7).
10.3. Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
10.4. Conditions to Avoid: Avoid creating or spreading dust. Sparks, heat, open flame and other sources of ignition.
10.5. Incompatible Materials: When molten: water. Strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizers. Alkalis. Metal oxides. Moisture.
Corrosive substances in contact with metals may produce flammable hydrogen gas.
10.6. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of iron and carbon. Organic acid vapors. With acids, aluminum metals, or
ammonium salts may react to form toxic vapors. May form solid compounds releasing heat. Lead compounds.

LD50 and LC50 Data: Not available
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Not classified
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Not classified.
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: Not classified. Not classified.
Germ Cell Mutagenicity: Not classified
Teratogenicity: Not classified
Carcinogenicity: Not classified.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure): Not classified.
Reproductive Toxicity: Not classified.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Single Exposure): Not classified
Aspiration Hazard: Not classified
Symptoms/Injuries After Inhalation: Inhalation of dusts and fumes can cause metal fume fever. Symptoms can include a metallic or
sweet taste in the mouth, sweating, shivering, headache, throat irritation, fever, chills, thirstiness, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting,
weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
Symptoms/Injuries After Skin Contact: May cause an allergic skin reaction. Dust from physical alteration of this product causes skin
irritation. Causes severe skin burns. Contact with fumes or metal powder will irritate skin. Contact with hot, molten metal will cause
thermal burns. Dust may cause irritation in skin folds or by contact in combination with tight clothing. Mechanical damage via flying
particles and chipped slag is possible.
Symptoms/Injuries After Eye Contact: Dust may cause mechanical irritation to eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
Symptoms/Injuries After Ingestion: Ingestion is likely to be harmful or have adverse effects.
Chronic Symptoms: In massive form, no hazard exists. If physically altered to present slivers, ribbons, dusts or fumes from molten
material: Aluminum: Inhalation of finely divided aluminum powder may cause pulmonary fibrosis. Inhalation of Nickel compounds
has been shown in studies to provide an increased incidence of cancer of the nasal cavity, lung and possibly larynx in nickel refinery
workers. Nickel: May cause a form of dermatitis known as nickel itch and intestinal irritation, which may cause disorders, convulsions
and asphyxia. Manganese : Chronic exposure can cause inflammation of the lung tissue, scarring the lungs (pulmonary fibrosis).
Copper: Overexposure to fumes may cause metal fume fever (chills, muscle aches, nausea, fever, dry throat, cough, weakness,
lassitude); metallic or sweet taste; discoloration of skin and hair. Tissue damage of mucous membranes may follow chronic dust
exposure. Silicon : Can cause chronic bronchitis and narrowing of the airways. Lead: Exposure can result in lassitude (weakness,
exhaustion), insomnia; facial pallor; anorexia, weight loss, malnutrition; constipation, abdominal pain, colic; anemia; gingival lead line;
tremor; encephalopathy; kidney disease; hypertension. Zinc: Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of zinc fumes may cause
"zinc shakes", an involuntary twitching of the muscles. Otherwise, zinc is non-toxic. Tin: Has been shown to increase incidence of
sarcoma in animal tests. Chronic exposure to tin dusts and fume may result in "stannosis", a mild form of pneumoconiosis. Silver:
Acute Toxicity: Not classified.
