SECTION 11: Toxicological Information
11.1 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 can
cause irritation of the eyes, nose and upper respiratory tract. Combustion of the coating can generate Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen
Chloride, Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, Hydrogen Fluoride and partially oxidized hydrocarbons.
11.2 Information on likely routes of exposure
11.2.1 Due to the form of the product as shipped, this is not relevant.
11.2.2 Dust and/or fume from processing can cause irritation to the eyes, skin and upper respiratory tract from inhalation.
11.3 Delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects from short and long term exposure
11.3.1 Due to the form of the product as shipped, this is not relevant.
11.3.2 Inhalation of dust and/or fumes due to processing - Chronic overexposure can cause pulmonary fibrosis (scaring of the lungs),
central nervous system damage, secondary Parkinson’s disease and reproductive harm to males.
11.3.3 Other health effects from welding, melting or other elevated temperature processing can cause nausea, fever, chills shortness of
breath and malaise (metal fume fever) or the accumulation of fluid on the lungs ( pulmonary edema). Long term, chronic overexposure
can cause asthma or other diseases of the lungs and respiratory system.
11.3.4 Combustion of the coating can generate hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and other by-products of combustion. Short term
overexposure can cause severe irritation of the respiratory system.
11.4 Reproductive Hazard Carcinogenicity Product as shipped does not present any reproductive hazards. No information available for this product
as shipped. Certain Chromium compounds are classified by the national Toxicology Program as: A1 – Confirmed Human Carcinogen, this product is
not known to contain any of those specific compounds.
SECTION 12: Ecological Information
12.1 Ecotoxicity Aluminum and its alloys in the solid form, such as coils, ingots or sow, do not present any hazard to the environment. Aluminum
can be fully recycled.
12.2 Persistence and degradability The product contains inorganic compounds which are not biodegradable.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential The product is not bioaccumulating.
12.4 Mobility in soil Not considered mobile.
12.5 Other adverse effects None known.
SECTION 13: Disposal Considerations
Reuse or recycle material whenever possible. If reuse or recycle is not possible, disposal must be in accordance with local, state and federal
regulations.
