Health 1 Flammability 0 Reactivity 1 TSCA: Listed SECTION 3: PHYSICAL DATA Physical State and/or appearance: Silver coloured liquid. Odour: No odour Specific Gravity: 6.5-6.75g/cc (Water = 1.0) Melting temperature: ~10-12 Degrees Celsius Boiling Temperature: ~1300 Degrees Celsius Solubility in Water: Insoluble SECTION 4: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA Flammability Classification: Not Applicable Flash Point: Not Applicable Flammable Limits (% vol. in air): Not Applicable Extinguishing Media: Not Applicable Special Fire Fighting Procedures: The product is not inflammable. m SECTION 5: REACTIVITY DATA Stability: Stable Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Maintain storage between 10 and 30 oC. Avoid strong oxidizing and reducing agents; strong acids and bases. Avoid halogens, alkali metals, inter-halogens. Heat generating reactions can be expected if the product comes into contact with aluminum and water. The product weakens aluminum. Conditions to Avoid: Keep product from freezing or excessive heat. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Toxic fumes generated during decomposition. Other Information: The product has an alloying effect on metal surfaces such as copper, tin, lead, zinc, gold, and silver. SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARDS Effects of Exposure: To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological properties of gallium- indium-tin Eutectic blends have not been thoroughly investigated and reported. Inhalation: No inhalation hazards of gallium have been identified. Good industrial hygiene practice suggests limiting exposure to particulates. Eye Contact: Prolonged or repeated contact may result in eye irritation. Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated contact may result in skin irritation. Some sources suggest gallium may cause dermatitis, although patch testing on humans with metallic gallium did not cause a positive reaction. Ingestion: Evidence suggest low toxicity due to poor absorption by the oral route. Chronic Effects: Intravenous administration of gallium to humans cause metallic taste, skin rashes, and bone marrow depression,as well as anorexia, nausea and vomiting. May cause damage to kidneys. Carcinogenicity: This product does not contain any ingredient designated by IARP, NTP, ACGIH or OSHA as a probable human carcinogen. Medical Conditions Generally aggravated by Overexposure: No Data Found. SECTION 7: EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION General protective and hygienic measures: As with any chemical, wash your hands before and after handling. Respiratory Protection: In emergency cases such as fire and oxide smoke, use a filter apparatus and P3 particulate level cartridge. Ventilation: Provide adequate ventilation. Use local exhaust as needed to maintain airborne exposure below control limits. Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses (with side shields) or goggles, to prevent potential contact with eyes. Skin Protection: Rubber protective gloves are recommended to avoid a repeated or permanent contact with the skin as the product will deplete skin oils. If necessary, use a skin protective hand lotion.
