SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media Use Class D extinguishing agents on fines, dust or molten metal.
5.2 Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use water when fighting fires around molten aluminum. Do not use halogenated extinguishing media
on small chips/fines.
5.3 Specific Hazards This product does not present fire or explosion hazards as shipped. Small chips, fine turnings and dust from processing may be
readily ignitable. May be a potential explosion hazard if a suspension of fine aluminum dust is present in the air. Finely divided metals may have
enough surface oxide to produce thermite reactions
5.4 Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighters should wear NIOSH approved, positive pressure, SCBA and full
protective clothing
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures None known as shipped. Avoid generating dust.
6.2 Environmental precautions None known as shipped
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Collect scrap for recycling. See Section 7 for safe handling.
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
7.1.1 Avoid contact with sharp edges or heated metal. Hot aluminum does not necessarily glow red.
7.1.2 Avoid generating dust. If dust or fine particles are generated during processing, use non- sparking equipment, tools and natural
bristle brushes to gather material.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Keep material dry.
7.3 Additional information For more information on the handling and storage of aluminum contact The Aluminum Association, 1525 Wilson
Boulevard, Suite 600, Arlington, Virginia 2220, www.aluminum.org. It has a number of publications, including:
