* * *Section 3 Composition / Information on Ingredients* * * CAS Component Percent 7439-96-5 Manganese > 60% 7439-89-6 Iron < 20% 7440-44-0 Carbon < 10% 7440-21-3 Silicon < 3% 7723-14-0 Phosphorus < 1% * * *Section 4 Fist Aid Measures* * * Inhalation In case of exposure to fine particulates: Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if discomfort persist. Skin Contact Contact with dust: Wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Eye Contact Do not rub eyes. Remove any contact lenses. Flush thoroughly with water, taking care to rinse under eyelids. If irritation persists, continue flushing for 15 minutes, rinsing from time to time under eye lids. If discomfort continues, seek medical attention. Ingestion Rinse mouth thoroughly if dust is ingested. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if any discomfort continues. * * *Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures* * * Extinguishing Media Special powder against metal fires, dry sand. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Do not use water or halogenated extinguishing media. Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical Fire or high temperatures can create manganese, carbon, silicon and iron oxides. Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of a fire. Move containers from fire if you can do so without risk. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Page 2 of 6 Issue Date 11/23/2015 Revision 1.00
* * *Section 6 Accidental Release Measures* * * Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures Keep unnecessary personnel away. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective equipment as described in section 8. Avoid release into the environment. Do not allow to enter waterways, sewers or aquifers. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up Avoid the generation of dusts during clean up. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage in suitable container for disposal. Vacuums used for this purpose should be equipped with HEPA filters. * * *Section 7 Handling and Storage* * * Precautions for Safe Handling Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Avoid generation and spreading of dust. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Avoid feeding dusty or wet alloy to steelmaking/alloymaking furnaces. Conditions for Safe Storage Store away from incompatible materials. Incompatibilities Oxidizing agents, peroxides, acids. * * *Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection* * * Exposure Limits US. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values Phosphorus TWA: 0.1 mg/m3 Carbon TWA respirable fraction: 2 mg/m3 Manganese TWA inhalable fraction: 0.1 mg/m3 Manganese TWA respirable fraction: 0.02 mg/m3 Appropriate Engineering controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Use explosion proof equipment if high dust/air concentrations are possible. Individual Protection Measures Eyes/Face Protection Wear dust resistant safety goggles where there is danger of eye contact. Skin Protection Wear suitable protective gloves to prevent cuts and abrasions. Wear suitable protective clothing. Respiration If risk of inhalation of dust is present, use suitable respiratory equipment with particle filter. Page 3 of 6 Issue Date 11/23/2015 Revision 1.00
