Hazard(s) Identification

Hazard classification: Aluminatorare considered non-hazardous under OSHA CHS 29 CRF 1910.1200

Precautionary statements:

• Always wear appropriate safety gear when using this product. (See section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment)
• Refer to ANSI B7.1, Safety Requirements for the Use, Care, and Protection of Abrasive Grinding Wheels.
• Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Supplemental labeling: Prolonged exposure to elevated noise levels during operations may affect hearing. A greater hazard, in most cases, is the exposure to the dust/fumes from the material or paint/coatings being ground.
• Most of the dust generated during grinding is from the base material being ground and the potential hazard from this exposure must be evaluated. This dust may present a fire or dust explosion hazard and may present a serious health hazard

First-Aid Measures

• Eyes: Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Flush eyes thoroughly with large amounts of water, holding eyelids open. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
• Skin: Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation or other symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
• Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Seek medical attention if a large amount is swallowed or if you feel unwell.
• Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, have qualified personnel administer oxygen. Seek medical attention if irritation or other symptoms persist.
• Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed: Dust may cause eye and respiratory irritation.
• Prolonged inhalation of high concentrations of dust may cause adverse effects on the lungs. Exposure to dust generated from processing the base material or coatings may present additional health hazards.
• Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment, if necessary: Immediate medical attention should not be required

Fire-Fighting Measures

• Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media: Use any media that is suitable for the surrounding fire.
  Do not use water on fires involving metal dusts. Use an appropriate dry powder.

• Specific hazards arising from the chemical: This product is not flammable or combustible; however, consideration must be given to the potential fire/explosion hazards from the base material being processed.
  Many materials create flammable/explosive dust or turnings when machined or ground.

• Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters: Firefighters should wear full emergency equipment and NIOSH-approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental Release Measures

• Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Wear appropriate respirator and protective clothing as needed to avoid eye contact and inhalation of dust. (See section 8for Personal Protective Equipment)
• Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Carefully collect dry material, avoiding the creation of airborne dust. Place in a suitable container for disposal.

Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling:

• Check all wheels for cracks and or other damage before mounting.
• Never exceed the maximum operating speed of the abrasive wheel.
• Always check mounting flanges for equal and correct diameters.
• Run wheel at operating speed, with guard in place, for at least one minute before use.
• Wheels must always be properly guarded.
• Always wear appropriate safety gear.
• Do not use wheels that have been dropped or otherwise damaged.
• Do not use excessive pressure when mounting wheels between flanges.
• Do not use heavy side grinding pressure on any Type 1 straight-sided wheel.
• Do not mount more than one wheel on a single arbor.
• Avoid breathing dust. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid eye and skin contact with grinding dust. Wear suitable gloves, eye protection and appropriate protective clothing according to the operation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Consider potential exposure to components of the base materials or coatings being ground.
• Refer to OSHA’s substance-specific standards for additional work practice requirements where applicable.
• Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Aluminator products should be stored in a dry area in rooms not subject to extreme temperature changes.
