Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires in confined spaces. Unusual fire or explosion hazards: Not recommended for machining magnesium due to significant fire and explosion hazards; end user assumes all liability. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING & USE Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Spills or leaks may cause slippery conditions. Contain spill and recover free product. Absorb remainder using oil-binding agents (such as ‘Speedy Dry®’). Prevent material from entering surface waters, storm sewers and soils. Waste disposal methods: Split emulsion with absorbing agents, salts or ultra-filtration. Dispose according to all applicable federal, state and local regulations. Precautions to be taken in handling/storing: Avoid direct solar irradiation of concentrate containers. Other precautions: Do not store with strong oxidizers. CONTROL MEASURES Ventilation: Ventilation sufficient to comply with recommended NIOSH exposure limit for metalworking fluids is suggested. Respiratory protection: Not generally required. Protective gloves: Not generally required. Impervious gloves are recommended where prolonged or repeated contact cannot be avoided. Use caution when wearing gloves around moving machinery. Eye protection: Industrial safety glasses are recommended. Other protective equipment or clothing: Standard work clothing and shoes. Work/hygienic practices: Thorough personal hygiene and clean working practices are sufficient.

RCRA / Hazardous Waste: Blasocut®, as sold, do not meet the criteria of a hazardous waste as defined under 40 CFR 261, in that they do not exhibit the characteristics of a hazardous waste of Subpart C, nor are they listed as a hazardous waste under Subpart D.

HMIS III® 0 1 2 3 Ratings Health, Flamability, Minimal hazard Slight hazard Moderate hazard Serious hazard Severe hazard Physical Hazard There is a new generation of HMIS® being introduced, HMIS® III. This new system still uses colored bars and numeric hazard ratings, but instead of “reactivity” it uses “physical hazard” warnings, which are more in line with OSHA defined hazards. HMIS® III will provide employees the tools to understand and handle chemicals with a far greater degree of precision, thereby increasing the potential for the customer’s HazCom compliance. The HMIS® III health criteria have been designed to be as compatible as possible with the definitions contained in ANSI Z129.176. They also reflect certain criteria accepted by NIOSH, U.S. EPA, and other organizations. Acute oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity are rated on a five-tiered scale (0-4), generally with a tenfold difference. The new HMIS® III uses two boxes to indicate health hazards:  The left box indicates if the chemical is a chronic or an acute hazard. An asterisk (*) or other designation corresponds to additional information on data sheet or separate chronic effects notification.  The right box is used to indicate the hazard rating number. Numeric ratings are based on acute toxicity and chronic health hazard data, either from internal company data or published information. The HMIS® III health criteria have been designed to be as compatible as possible with the definitions contained in ANSI Z129.176. They also reflect certain criteria accepted by NIOSH, U.S. EPA, and other organizations. Acute oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity are rated on a five-tiered scale (0- 4), generally with a tenfold difference between the levels.
