Fire and Explosion DataFlash Point: Information not availableFlammabilityLimits: Information not availableAutoignitionTemperature: Information not availableSolid, massive form of material is not combustibleunder ordinary fire conditions. Fire and explosionhazards are moderate when material is in the formof dust and exposed to heat or flames, chemicalreaction, or contact with powerful oxidizers. Fireextinguishing methods: Use special mixtures ofdry chemicals. Do not use water or moist sand.Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathingapparatus and protective clothing.V. Reactivity DataMassive material is stable at ordinarytemperatures, but dust presents moderate fire andexplosion hazards. Material may be incompatiblewith acids, bases, and oxidizers. Molten metalmay react violently with water. For additionalinformation, users should consult data sheets onindividual component elements.VI. Health Hazards DataTLV: See Section II.Primary routes of entry: Ingestion of dust,inhalation of dust or fume.Exposure to the massive form of tin presents fewhazards in itself. However, normal handling of tinmay result in generation of dusts containing thecomponent elements, and inhalation or ingestionof these dusts may present potentially significanthealth hazards. Thermal cutting and melting of tinmay produce fumes containing the componentselements, and breathing these fumes may alsopresent potentially significant health hazards.Special precautions should be taken if metal iscontaminated: See section IX.Prolonged inhalation of tin fumes or dust, oringestion of tin compounds can result in tinpoisoning. Symptoms include abdominal painor colic, constipation, nausea, joint and musclepains, and muscular weakness. Severe cases ofoverexposure may lead to central nervous systemsdisorders, characterized by somnolence, stupor,and ultimately death.Bismuth is not considered a toxic or dangerousmaterial, however, it is always good practice tomaintain good housekeeping procedures and washthoroughly.VII. Spill ProceduresNo special precautions are necessary for spillsof bulk material. If large quantities of dust arespilled, remove by vacuuming with a “Hepa” filteror net sweeping to prevent heavy concentrationsof airborne dust. Clean-up personal should wearrespirators and protective clothing. Metal can bereclaimed for refuse. Follow federal, state, andlocal regulations regarding disposal.VIII. Special Protection InformationUse general and local exhaust ventilation to keepairborne concentrations of dust or fume below theTLV. Employees should wear OSHA or NIOSHapproved respirators for protection against airbornedust or fumes. Full protective clothing should beworn by workers exposed to heavy concentrationsof dust, and showering should be requiredbefore changing into street clothes. Gloves andbarrier creams may be necessary to prevent skinsensitization and dermatitis.Approved safety glasses or goggles should beworn when working with dusty material and moltenmetal. Safety stations should be provided in closeproximity to work areas.For Material Safety Data Sheet on Urethane materialcontained in #023-062, please contact us.Request Literature #023-062MSDS.Pre-employment and periodic medical evaluationsshould be provided. Attention should be directedtoward skin, eyes, respiratory tract, blood, kidneys,pulmonary function, and neurologic health. Chestx-rays should be included if Symptoms are resent.Food should not be consumed in the work area.No smoking in work area. Hands and face mustbe washed before eating or smoking. Cosmeticsshould not be applied in areas where this productis used.IX. Special PrecautionsUse good housekeeping practices to preventaccumulations of dust and to keep airborne dustconcentrations at a minimum. Avoid breathing dustor fumes.Store material away from incompatible materials,and keep dust away from sources of ignition.XI.
