Material Safety Data Sheet
5. Fire-Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam.
Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Massive metal is not flammable or combustible. Finely-divided dust or powder is a moderate fire hazard and moderate
explosion hazard when dispersed in the air at high concentrations and exposed to heat, flame, or other ignition sources.
Explosions may also occur under certain circumstances upon contact with certain incompatible materials (see Stability and
Reactivity, Section 10).
Fire Fighting:
If possible, move material from fire area and cool material exposed to flame. Apply water, carbon dioxide, foam or dry
chemical. Copper and tin oxide fumes may evolve in a fire. Fire fighters must be fully trained and wear full protective clothing
including an approved, self-contained breathing apparatus which supplies a positive air pressure within a full face-piece mask.
Do not use direct water streams on fires where molten metal is present, due to the risk of a steam explosion that could
potentially eject molten metal uncontrollably. Use a fine water mist on the front-running edge of the spill and on the top of the
molten metal to cool and solidify it.
Flashpoint and Method:
Not Applicable.
Upper and Lower Flammable Limit:
Not Applicable.
Autoignition Temperature:
Not Applicable.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Procedures for Cleanup:
Material is recyclable. Control source of spillage if possible to do so safely. Clean up spilled material immediately, observing
precautions in Section 8, Personal Protection. Molten metal should be allowed to solidify before cleanup. Once solidified, wear
gloves, pick up and return to process. Powder or dust should be cleaned up using methods that will minimize dust generation
(e.g., vacuum solids.). Return uncontaminated spilled material to the process if possible. Place contaminated material in
suitable labelled containers for later recovery or disposal. Treat or dispose of waste material in accordance with all local,
regional, and national requirements.
Personal Precautions:
Persons responding to an accidental release should wear protective clothing, gloves and a respirator (see also Section 8).
Close-fitting safety goggles may be necessary in some circumstances to prevent eye contact with dust and fume. Where
molten metal is involved, wear heat-resistant gloves and suitable clothing for protection from radiant heat and hotmetal splash
as well as a respirator to protect against inhalation of fumes.
Environmental Precautions:
In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses.
