Handling Instructions
Highly flammable solid. Dust explosion hazard. Powders of these alloys are highly flammable and burn with an intense heat. Keep away from flames, sparks and heat sources. Use ground connected metallic apparatus to avoid sudden ignition by electrostatic discharge. In case of fire cover with dry sand or dry chemical/dolomite (powdered limestone). Never extinguish with water, carbon dioxide, or halocarbon. See our material safety data sheet and special precautionary advice for more information on safety.
Storage Instructions
Store in tightly closed containers.
