Stable and non-reactive under normal conditions of use, storage and
transportation as shipped.
Stable under normal conditions of use, storage and transportation as shipped.
Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
Chips, fines, dust and molten metal are considerably more reactive with the
following:
Water: Slowly generates hydrogen gas and heat. Molten metal can react
violently/explosively with water or moisture, especially when water is
entrapped.
Heat: Oxidizes at a rate dependent upon temperature and particle size.
Strong Oxidizers: Violent reaction with considerable heat generation. Can
react explosively with nitrates when heated or molten.
Halogenated Compounds: Many halogenated hydrocarbons, including
halogenated fire extinguishing agents can react violently with finely divided or
molten aluminum.
Iron Oxide and other metal oxides: A violent thermite reaction generating
considerable heat can occur. Reaction with aluminum fines and dust requires
only a weak ignition source for initiation. Molten aluminum can react violently
with iron oxide without external ignition source.
As shipped, none known.
Combustion of the coating can generate Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide,
Hydrogen Chloride, Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, Hydrogen Fluoride and
partially oxidized hydrocarbons.
11. Toxicological Information
Health Effects Associated with
Ingredients
Aluminum dust/fines and fumes are generally considered to be biologically
inert.
Manganese dust or fumes under conditions of chronic overexposure can
cause inflammation of the lung tissue, scarring of the lungs, central nervous
system damage, Secondary Parkinson’s Disease and reproductive harm to
males.
Silicon (inert dust) under conditions of chronic overexposure can chronic
bronchitis and narrowing of the airways.
Chromium dust and fumes can cause irritation of eyes, skin and respiratory
tract.
Aluminum fumes generated during welding or melting present low health risk.
Welding or plasma arc cutting of aluminum alloys can generate ozone. Ozone
