Aluminum Chloride 7446-70-0 100% Yes
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may
include coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion: Low single dose toxicity. Ingestion of large amounts may cause
nausea, vomiting and abdominal spasms.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin
disorders or eye problems or impaired respiratory function may be more
susceptible to the effects of the substance.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large
amounts were swallowed, get medical advice.
Skin Contact: Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and
water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if
irritation persists.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or
spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet
sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.
Keep in a tightly closed container. Protect from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture and incompatibilities. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: -ACGIH Threshold Limit
Value (TLV):
2 mg/m3 (TWA) soluble salts as Al
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A
Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded
and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate
respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times
the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face
piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50
times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If
oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present,
use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied
respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench
facilities in work area.
