4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: No hazards for product as sold. Fabrication operations such as milling, cutting, etc., may produce
dust or fines that may be irritating to the respiratory tract. If irritation persists, seek medical
attention.
Skin Contact: Solid sheet may be abrasive to, or cut skin. Fabrication operations such as milling, cutting, etc.,
may produce dust or fines that may be irritating. May aggravate existing skin conditions. Wash
with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention
Eye Contact: No hazards for product as sold. Fabrication operations such as milling, cutting, etc., may produce
dust or fines that may be irritating to the eyes. Rinse eyes with water for 15 minutes. If irritation
persists, seek medical attention.

5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Flash Point Method: Not applicalbe.
Burning Rate: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
appropriate for the surrounding fire. Combustion products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2).
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Product as sold does not present an explosion hazard. Finely divided dust generated by fabrication operations such as
milling, cutting, grinding, etc., can create an explosion hazard if the airborne dust concentration exceeds 900 grams per cubic
meter and it contacts an ignitions source greater than 8 joules (A person standing in a uniformly dispersed dust cloud of 50
grams per cubic meter will not be able to see his/her outstretched hand).
