4 – FIRST AID MEASURES

• First Aid Measures:

Inhalation: Remove the victim from the contaminated area, maintaining the person lied and
warm. Maintain the airways free and if necessary provide artificial respiration. Provide medical
care.
Skin Contact: Take contaminated clothes off. Wash with running water and soap.
Eyes Contact: Do not rub. Wash with running water for 15 minutes (minimum). Look for an
ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: Do not provoke vomit. Provide medical care.
• Notes for the doctor: according to the information in this MSDS.

5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

• Appropriate extinction means: Extinguishing agents class “B” (CO2 or Dry Chemical
Powder), class “D” (Special Chemical Powder), and inert material (thin and dry sand).
• Non appropriate extinction means: Extinguishing agents class ‘’A’’ and water.
Specific hazards: Aluminium particles will burn at high temperature and may become
potentially explosive if they are dispersed in the air.
It can liberate: carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide gas (CO), irritating and toxicant
gases.
Specific methods: The fire in the aluminium paste starts by the solvent, in this phase it must be
used extinguishing agents class “B” (CO2 or Dry Chemical Powder).
If the fire continues, occurring total burning of the solvent, reaching the metal (aluminium), the
fire must be considered as in pyrophoric metal. In this phase must be used extinguishing agents
class “D” (Special Chemical Powder) or inert material (thin and dry sand). The fire must be
carefully covered with these agents, with extreme care to avoid formation of powder clouds.
The material must be inert until its temperature is equaled to the ambient temperature.
Remove the burned material carefully from the place, in small portions, always maintaining the
superficial part covered with sand.
• Firemen’s protection: Use respiration protection equipment and special clothes for high
temperatures.

6 – SPILL/LEAKAGE CONTROL MEASURES

• Personal precautions: Wear equipment for personal protection. Maintain people in a safety
place. Avoid direct contact with the product.
