Special Fire Fighting Procedures

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Activated Iron is pyrophoric. When exposed to air, it attains red heat quickly and provides a combustion source for exposed combustible materials. It is highly reactive with organic compounds when heated or exposed to oxidizing agents. Some hydrogen may be evolved during shipping or storage. Open flames and smoking prohibited.

(Reproduce locally) OSHA 174, Sept. 1985

Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use

Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled. Should be flushed with water.

Contaminated cleaning materials should be considered pyrophoric.

Waste Disposal Method Expose to air. Material will burn and become deactivated Residue consists of iron and iron oxides which are not hazardous and may be discarded. Disposal must be in accordance with federal, state, and local Regulations.

Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Handle and store under nitrogen or inert gas.
