Additional information

Chronic overexposures: Can cause scarring of the lungs, central nervous system damage, Secondary Parkinson's disease, reproductive harm in males, respiratory sensitization, asthma, the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, lung damage and lung cancer. Contact with residual oil/oil coating: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation and allergic contact dermatitis. • Molten metal in contact with water/moisture or certain metal oxides (e.g., rust, copper oxide). Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with sharp edges or heated metal. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

Finely divided metals (e.g., powders or wire) may have enough surface oxide to produce thermite reactions/explosions. • Molten metal in contact with water/moisture or certain metal oxides (e.g., rust, copper oxide). Moisture entrapped by molten metal can be explosive. Contact of molten aluminum with certain metal oxides can initiate a thermite reaction. Finely divided metals (e.g., powders or wire) may have enough surface oxide to produce thermite reactions/explosions. Contact with residual oil/oil coating: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization and allergic contact dermatitis.
