Precautionary statements

Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray Contaminated work clothing must not be allowed out of the workplace. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. [In case of inadequate ventilation] wear respiratory protection. If on skin: Wash with plenty of water. If inhaled: If breathing is difficult, remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. Specific treatment (see on this label). If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention. If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a poison center/doctor. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Store locked up. Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations.

Additional information

For professional and industrial users only Only use cooling lubricants that are inhibited against the dissolution of cobalt as the metallic cobalt is dissolved out in ionic form on contact with the magnet and enriched in the cooling lubricant. This effect can cause increased exposure of the processor to cobalt salts which can cause allergies through skin contact or be absorbed into the body through inhalation of the cooling lubricant aerosol. On drying out: P210: Keep away from heat / sparks / open flames / hot surfaces – No smoking. P222: Do not allow contact with air. P280: Wear protective gloves / protective clothing / eye protection / face protection. P332+P313 If skin irritation occurs Get medical advice / attention P337+P313: If eye irritation persists, get medical advice / attention. 3. Dust-forming mechanical processing (for example, dry-blasting process): a) Such processes are not recommended. As it produces self-heating or pyrophoric dusts with a tendency to explode, the dry mechanical processing of rare earth permanent magnet alloys is only permissible under special safety precautions. The dust arising containing cobalt is carcinogenic and can cause allergies. Respirable fine cobalt metal powder (grain size ≤10µm) is also "Acutely toxic by inhalation Category 1". Additional hazard statements: H 250: Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air. H 251: Self-heating; may catch fire. EUH 018: In use may form flammable / explosive vapour - air mixtures. H 315: Causes skin irritation. H 319: Causes serious eye irritation. Additional information regarding machining residues / waste (grinding sludge): Self-classification in water hazard Class 3 (highly hazardous to water). European List of Waste: Additionally, HP3 and HP4. Additional safety statements: P210: Keep away from heat / sparks / open flames / hot surfaces – No smoking. P222: Do not allow contact with air. P280: Wear protective gloves / protective clothing / eye protection / face protection. P332+P313 If skin irritation occurs Get medical advice / attention P337+P313: If eye irritation persists, get medical advice / attention.

2.3 Other hazards

The samarium used in its natural isotopic composition exhibits a natural radioactivity mainly due to the isotope samarium 147 as an alpha emitter. This does not result in any hazards for use as a permanent magnet. There are no possible hazards due to respirable dust containing samarium during the processing of samarium-cobalt permanent magnet alloys if the cobalt limit values are complied with. For the valid cobalt limit values, see Chapter 8 of this safety data sheet. A samarium limit derived by the manufacturer is also specified there. Additional hazards resulting from the uses: 1. Use as supplied, for assembly, for example, in technical systems. a) Magnetized parts generate magnetic fields and can exert forces of attraction on other magnetizable parts / substances. Electronic devices and measuring instruments can have their calibration changed or damaged by high field strengths. In particular, magnetized parts must be kept at a safe distance from computers, monitors and magnetic data carriers, as well as from active and passive implants (for example, heart pacemakers or artificial joints). People with implants should be particularly careful when handling magnets and / or magnet systems. Safety distances must be observed, otherwise the implant may malfunction. There is a risk of injury when handling magnetized parts. This can result in severe crushing injuries if they are handled improperly. Magnets must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres because sparks may be generated in the event of a collision. b) Parts delivered magnetized are subject to the IATA transport guidelines relating to the external magnetic field of the packaging, for this, see Point 14 SIDA. c) Skin contact with the magnet surfaces may cause allergic reactions due to the cobalt content or in the case of nickel-plated magnets. d) Dusty abraded material generated during assembly work, for example, in feed lines, can, due to the cobalt content, be carcinogenic when inhaled and / or cause allergies which must be assessed on a workplace-specific basis. Respirable fine cobalt metal powder (grain size ≤10µm) is also "Acutely toxic by inhalation Category 1". 2. Aqueous mechanical processing, for example, with the use of cooling lubricants: a) Due to the rare earth content, the resulting abraded material reacts with the aqueous processing agents to form hydrogen. ATTENTION: Formation of hazardous explosive (EX) atmospheres possible! Part of the hydrogen produced is stored in the material. The resulting processing slurries must be kept under protective liquid because the slurries that dry out can react in a self-heating or pyrophoric manner. When the temperature rises, the stored hydrogen is released and ex-atmospheres can form or the hydrogen burns off including the organics with flame / soot formation (in contrast to pure metal fires). b) Abraded metal and metal ions such as cobalt are introduced during aqueous mechanical machining using cooling lubricants. This can lead to sensitization and allergic reactions of the skin in the event of prolonged and repeated skin contact. In addition, aerosols containing cobalt, which must be assessed on a workplace-specific basis, can be generated. This can be partly prevented by using cobalt-inhibited cooling lubricants. Additional hazard statements: Aqueous abraded metal material / aqueous grinding sludge develop hydrogen. EUH 018: In use may form flammable / explosive vapour - air mixtures. On drying out: Pyrophoric and / or self-heating materials may be present. H 260: In contact with water releases flammable gases which may ignite spontaneously. H 250: Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air. H 251: Self-heating; may catch fire. Additional information about machining residues / waste (grinding sludge and used cooling lubricants): In Section 13 European List of Waste In addition to the phrases listed there, HP3 and HP4 still apply to them In Section 15: Self-classification of machining residues in water hazard Class 3 (highly hazardous to water).
