| [Flash Point] 500 | |
| [Autoignition] 472 | |
| [Fire Fighting] Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Flammable solid. May react with acids or moisture to form explosive hydrogen gas. Extinguishing media: Use only graphite powder, soda ash, powdered sodium chloride, or an appropriate metal-fire-extinguishing dry powder. Do NOT use water, carbon dioxide, or foam. | |
| [Fire Potential] Flammable_combustion requires preheating. Moderate hazard. | |
| [Ingestion] If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Low hazard for usual industrial handling. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and increased white blood cell count. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. | |
| [Skin] Dust may cause mechanical irritation. Particles embedded in the skin may cause chemical gas gangrene with symptoms of persistent lesions, inflammation and gas bubbles under the skin. | |
| [Eyes] Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. | |
| [Eyes] Dust may cause mechanical irritation. | |
| [Storage] Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. | |
| [Handling] Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and increased white blood cell count. | |
| [Skin] Dust may cause mechanical irritation. Particles embedded in the skin may cause chemical gas gangrene with symptoms of persistent lesions, inflammation and gas bubbles under the skin. | |
| [Eyes] Dust may cause mechanical irritation. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Low hazard for usual industrial handling. | |
| [Hazards] Forms dense white smoke. Flame is very bright. | |

| [Personal Protection] Eyes: Wear chemical goggles and face shield. Skin: Wear impervious gloves. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure. | |
| [Respirators] Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary. | |
| [Exposure Effects] Lethargy, hyporeflexia, weakness, and subjective feeling of thirst and heat may occur. Excessive absorption of magnesium from cathartics may result in CNS depression and seizures, most notably in renal failure patients. | |
