3 Flash Point Method: Upper Flammable or Explosive Limit: Lower Flammable or Explosive Limit: Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, water spray, carbon dioxide, or foam. Fire Fighting Instructions: Firefighters must wear full face, self contained breathing apparatus with full protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Fumes from fire are hazardous. Isolate runoff to prevent environmental pollution. Unusual Fire Hazards: When heated to decomposition, aluminum fluoride may emit toxic fumes of fluorine. May react violently when impacted in contact with sodium and potassium. May explode when heated with reducing agents. Applies to all ingredients: Route of Exposure: Inhalation: Yes Skin: Yes Eyes: Yes Ingestion: Yes Other: No Potential Health Effects: Eye Contact: Acute: Severe irritant and corrosive. Skin Contact: Inhalation: Ingestion: SECTION 5 : Health Hazards Acute: Severe irritant and corrosive. May cause rashes and skin granulomas. Acute: Severe irritant and corrosive to the respiratory tract and mucous membranes. May cause asthma attacks, excessive salivation, thirst, sweating, vomiting, colic, diarrhea and lung granulomas. Acute: Moderately toxic by intravenous route. May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and cramp like pains. Chronic Eye Contact:a Severe irritant and corrosive. Chronic Skin Contact: Severe irritant and corrosive. Chronic Inhalation: May cause fluorosis, pulmonary fibrosis, severe bone changes liver enlargement and inflammation. Non reversible hyperactivity with nocturnal asthma. Chronic Ingestion: May affect the circulatory, enzyme and nervous system. Carcinogenicity: CARCINOGENICITY/OTHER INFORMATION: Orl mus LD50: 103 mg/kg Scu frg LDLO: 1680 mg/kg Eye rbt 500 mg/24h SEV OSHA Designation: Regulated: No IARC Designation: Monographs: No Target Organs: May affect the skeleton, kidneys, central nervous system, respiratory system, liver, bone, eyes and skin. Signs/Symptoms: INHALATION: May cause ulcers of the upper respiratory tract, excessive salivation, vomiting, thirst, sweating, colic and diarrhea. Fibrosis may cause: sclerosis of the bones, calcification of ligaments, mottled teeth, osteosclerosis, ostemalacia, loss of weight, anorexia, anemia, wasting, cachia and dental defects. 3

4 INGESTION: May cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal burning, cramp like pain, a stiff spine, calicification of ligaments of the ribs and pelvis. SKIN: May cause redness, itching and chemical burns. EYE: May cause redness, itching, watering and chemical burns. Aggravation of Pre Existing Conditions: Can cause or aggravate attacks of asthma. RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS: See "Section 2" Aluminum fluoride: Potential Health Effects: (ACUTE AND CHRONIC): Aluminum compounds have many commercial uses and are commonly found in industry. Many of these materials are active chemically and thus exhibit dangerous toxic and reactive properties. The halides are generally irritants. (Sax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, eighth edition) Inorganic fluorides are generally highly irritating and toxic. Chronic fluorine poisoning, or "fluorosis," occurs among miners of cryolite, and consists of sclerosis of the bones, caused by fixation of the calcium by fluorine. There may also be some calcification of the ligaments. The teeth are mottled, and there is osteosclerosis and ostemalacia. Large doses can cause very severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, aggravate attacks of asthma and severe bone changes, making normal movements painful. Some signs of pulmonary fibrosis are noted. Some enzyme system effects are reported. Irritants to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Loss of weight, anorexia, anemia, wasting and cachexia and dental defects are among the common findings in chronic fluorine poisoning. There may be an eosinophilia and impairment of growth in young workers. Symptoms of intoxication include gastric, intestinal, circulatory, respiratory and nervous complaints and rashes.(sax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, eighth edition) Applies to All Ingredients: Acute Health Effects: Eye Effect: LD50: See "Carcinogenicity/Other Information" Scu frg LDLO: 1680 mg/kg Eye rbt 500 mg/24h SEV Ingestion Effects: Orl mus LD50: 103 mg/kg Inhalation Effects: LC50: See "Carcinogenicity/Other Information" SECTION 6 : Emergency And First Aid Procedures Eye Contact: Flush eyes with lukewarm water, lifting upper and lower eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; brush material off skin; wash affected area with mild soap and water; seek medical attention immediately. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air; keep warm and quiet; give oxygen if breathing is difficult and seek medical attention immediately. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; seek medical attention immediately. Note to Physicians: No data available. SECTION 7 : Reactivity Data Chemical Stability: Stable.
