Precautionary statements

Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Avoid release to the environment. Use personal protective equipment as required. In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Store locked up.

2.3 Other hazards

Dry mechanical processing of rare earth permanent magnet alloys is only permitted under special safety precautions because dusts which are capable of self-heating or pyrophorous dusts with a tendency to explode may be produced. In the case of wet mechanical processing the watery processing medium reacts with the magnet wear and may form hydrogen already at room temperature. Attention: Formation of Ex-atmospheres possible! Part of the resulting hydrogen is stored in the material. The resulting processing sludges must be kept under a protective liquid because drying out sludges are capable of self-heating or may react pyrophorously. In this case the stored hydrogen volume burns off with flames. Attention: Magnetized parts generate magnetic fields and are able to attract magnetizable materials. This may result in injury during handling of magnets. Electronic devices and measuring tools may be changed in calibration or damaged by the high magnetic field strength. Please keep magnetized magnets away from computers, displays and magnetic storage devices. Especially people with heart pacemakers must keep away from magnetic fields.
