SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media: This product will not burn, but is compatible with all extinguishing media. Use any media that is appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical:
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not flammable or combustible. Dry powders may accumulate static charge in handling, which can be a source of ignition for flammable atmospheres.
Hazardous Combustion Products: None.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-Fighters: None required with respect to this product. Firefighters should always wear self-contained breathing apparatus for fires indoor or in confined areas.


SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures: Wear appropriate protective equipment.
Environmental Precautions: Report spills and releases as required to appropriate authorities.
Methods and Material for Containment / Cleanup: If uncontaminated, collect using dustless method (HEPA vacuum or wet method) and place in appropriate container for use. If contaminated: a) use appropriate method for the nature of contamination, and b) consider possible toxic or fire hazards associated with the contaminating substances. Collect for appropriate disposal.


SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid breathing dust. Use normal precautions against bag breakage or spills of bulk material. Avoid creation of respirable dust. Use good housekeeping in storage and use areas to prevent accumulation of dust in work area.
Use adequate ventilation and dust collection. Maintain, use, clean, and fit test respirators in accordance with OSHA regulations. Maintain and test ventilation and dust collection equipment. Launder clothing that has become dusty. Empty container (bags, bulk containers, storage tanks, etc.) retain product residue and must be handled in accordance with the provisions of this Safety Data Sheet.
WARN and TRAIN employees in accordance with state and federal regulations.
WARN YOUR EMPLOYEES (AND YOUR CUSTOMERS AND USERS IN CASE OF RESALE) BY POSTING, AND OTHER MEANS, OF THE HAZARDS AND OSHA PRECAUTIONS AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE REGULATORY PRECAUTIONS TO BE USED. PROVIDE TRAINING FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES ABOUT OSHA PRECAUTIONS.
Dust can accumulate electrostatic charges due to friction from transfer and mixing operations and cause an electrical spark (ignition source), which can ignite flammable liquids and atmospheres. Provide adequate precautions when adding this product to flammable and combustible mixtures like paints and coating, such as electrical grounding and bonding, inert atmosphere or non-sparking tools. However, bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard for static accumulation.
Conditions for Safe Storage, Including any Incompatibilities: Store in a dry location.


SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Guidelines:
Definitions:
MSHA - Mine Safety and Health Administration
NIOSH - National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
REL - the NIOSH Recommended Exposure Limit
TLV - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value
TWA - Time-Weighted Average
Olivine: PEL – 5 mg/m3 TWA (respirable fraction), 15 mg/m3 TWA (total dust) as Particulates not Otherwise Regulated
TLV – None established (refer to ACGIH guidance for Particulates (insoluble or poorly soluble) Not Otherwise Specified)
MGSH – 10 mg/m3 TWA as Nuisance Particulates
Nickle Compounds: PEL – 0.5 mg/m3 TWA
TLV – 0.5 mg/m3 TWA
MSHA – 0.5 mg/m3 TWA
Appropriate Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust as required to maintain exposures as far as possible below applicable occupational exposure limits. See also GCGIH “Industrial Ventilation – A Manual for Recommended Practice” (current edition). Control of exposure to dust must be accomplished as far as feasible by accepted engineering control measures (for example, enclosure or confinement of the operation, general or local exhaust ventilation and substitution of less toxic materials.)
Personal Protective Equipment:
Respiratory Protection: When effective engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being implemented, appropriate respiratory protection must be used.

Iron

See more Iron products. Iron (atomic symbol: Fe, atomic number: 26) is a Block D, Group 8, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 55.845. The number of electrons in each of Iron's shells is 2, 8, 14, 2 and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d6 4s2. Iron Bohr ModelThe iron atom has a radius of 126 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 194 pm. Iron was discovered by humans before 5000 BC. In its elemental form, iron has a lustrous grayish metallic appearance. Iron is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust and the most common element by mass forming the earth as a whole. Iron is rarely found as a free element, since it tends to oxidize easily; it is usually found in minerals such as magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite, or siderite.Elemental Iron Though pure iron is typically soft, the addition of carbon creates the alloy known as steel, which is significantly stronger.

Magnesium

Magnesium Bohr ModelSee more Magnesium products. Magnesium (atomic symbol: Mg, atomic number: 12) is a Block S, Group 2, Period 3 element with an atomic mass of 24.3050. The number of electrons in each of Magnesium's shells is [2, 8, 2] and its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2. The magnesium atom has a radius of 160 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 173 pm. Magnesium was discovered by Joseph Black in 1775 and first isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808. Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element in the earth's crust and the fourth most common element in the earth as a whole. Elemental MagnesiumIn its elemental form, magnesium has a shiny grey metallic appearance and is an extremely reactive. It is can be found in minerals such as brucite, carnallite, dolomite, magnesite, olivine and talc. Commercially, magnesium is primarily used in the creation of strong and lightweight aluminum-magnesium alloys, which have numerous advantages in industrial applications. The name "Magnesium" originates from a Greek district in Thessaly called Magnesia.

Silicon

See more Silicon products. Silicon (atomic symbol: Si, atomic number: 14) is a Block P, Group 14, Period 3 element with an atomic weight of 28.085. Silicon Bohr MoleculeThe number of electrons in each of Silicon's shells is 2, 8, 4 and its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p2. The silicon atom has a radius of 111 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 210 pm. Silicon was discovered and first isolated by Jöns Jacob Berzelius in 1823. Silicon makes up 25.7% of the earth's crust, by weight, and is the second most abundant element, exceeded only by oxygen. The metalloid is rarely found in pure crystal form and is usually produced from the iron-silicon alloy ferrosilicon. Elemental SiliconSilica (or silicon dioxide), as sand, is a principal ingredient of glass, one of the most inexpensive of materials with excellent mechanical, optical, thermal, and electrical properties. Ultra high purity silicon can be doped with boron, gallium, phosphorus, or arsenic to produce silicon for use in transistors, solar cells, rectifiers, and other solid-state devices which are used extensively in the electronics industry.The name Silicon originates from the Latin word silex which means flint or hard stone.
