Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Water Reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Dust can be an explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. May ignite or explode on contact with steam or moist air. Aluminum powder may evolve hydrogen gas in contact with water and finely divided dust may be ignited by naked lights or sparks. Polished aluminum powders which have been treated with oils or wax for printing or paint purposes are not generally dangerous. Bulk dust when damp with water may heat spontaneously. Hazard greater as fineness increases.
Extinguishing Media:
DO NOT USE WATER! Do NOT get water inside containers. Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Do NOT use CO2 or halogenated extinguishing agents. Smother with dry sand, dry clay, dry ground limestone (CaCO3), or use approved Class D extinguishers.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Do not expose spill to water. Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable, dry disposal container.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent reaction. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not allow contact with water. Keep from contact with moist air and steam. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away from water. Flammables-area. Keep containers tightly closed. Keep away from acidic, alkaline, combustible and oxidizing materials.
Separate from halogenated compounds.
