Material Safety Data Sheet <br />Material Name: Aluminum Sulfate <br />Distributed by: Rocky Mountain Reagents, Inc <br />Part Number: A1055 ID: C1 -166 <br />* * * Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures <br />Containment Procedures <br />Stop the flow of material, if this can be done without risk. Contain the discharged material. If sweeping of a contaminated area is <br />necessary use a dust suppressant agent, which does not react with product (see Section 10 for incompatibility information). <br />Clean -Up Procedures <br />Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean -up. Shovel the material into waste container. Thoroughly wash <br />the area after a spill or leak clean -up. Solutions of the compound can be neutralized with lime or similar compound. Avoid <br />contamination of soil, and prevent spill residue from running to groundwater or storm drains. <br />Evacuation Procedures <br />Evacuate the area promptly and keep upwind of the spilled material. Isolate the spill area to prevent people from entering. Keep <br />materials that burn away from spilled material. In case of large spills, follow all facility emergency response procedures. <br />Special Procedures <br />Remove soiled clothing and launder before reuse. Avoid all skin contact with the spilled material. Have emergency equipment <br />readily available. <br />II * * * Section 7 - Handline and Storaue * * * II <br />Handling Procedures <br />All employees who handle this material should be trained to handle it safely. Do not breathe dust. Avoid all contact with skin and <br />eyes. Use this product only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. <br />Storage Procedures <br />Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store containers in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, sources of intense <br />heat, or where freezing is possible. Material should be stored in secondary containers or in a diked area, as appropriate. Store <br />containers away from incompatible chemicals (see Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Storage areas should be made of fire- resistant <br />materials. Post warning and "NO SMOKING" signs in storage and use areas, as appropriate. Use corrosion- resistant structural <br />materials, lighting, and ventilation systems in the storage area. Floors should be sealed to prevent absorption of this material. Have <br />appropriate extinguishing equipment in the storage area (i.e., sprinkler system, portable fire extinguishers). <br />Empty containers may contain residual particulates; therefore, empty containers should be handled with care. Do not cut, grind, weld, <br />or drill near this container. Never store food, feed, or drinking water in containers that held this product. Keep this material away <br />from food, drink and animal feed. Inspect all incoming containers before storage, to ensure containers are properly labeled and not <br />damaged. Do not store this material in open or unlabeled containers. Limit quantity of material stored. Store in suitable <br />containers that are corrosion- resistant. Keep containers closed - material is hygroscopic. <br />* * * Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection <br />Exposure Guidelines <br />A: General Product Information <br />Follow the applicable exposure limits. <br />B: Component Exposure Limits <br />Aluminum Sulfate (10043 -01 -3) <br />ACGIH: as Al; 2 mg /m3 TWA (related to Aluminum, soluble salts) <br />OSHA: as Al: 2 mg /m3 TWA (Listed under'Aluminum') (related to Aluminum, soluble salts) [1989 Vacated 1989 PEL] <br />NIOSH: total: 2 mg /m3 TWA (related to Aluminum, soluble salts and alkyls); respirable dust: 5 mg /m3 TWA; pyro <br />powders and welding fumes: 5 mg /m3 TWA <br />Engineering Controls <br />Control airborne dusts and use mechanical ventilation. Local exhaust methods are suggested, where possible, in enclosed or <br />confined spaces. Use a corrosion- resistant ventilation system. Supply ample air replacement. Treatment of exhaust gases may be <br />required to prevent environmental contamination. <br />PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT <br />The following information on appropriate Personal Protective Equipment is provided to assist employers in complying with OSHA <br />regulations found in 29 CFR Subpart I (beginning at 1910.132). Please reference applicable regulations and standards for relevant <br />details. <br />Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face <br />Wear chemical safety goggles. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133. <br />Issue Date: 4/27/99 08:45:30 CLW Page 3 of 8 Revision Date: 01/04/08 12:30 pm HDF <br />
