HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Physical Hazards
Unusual Fire Hazard
Effects of Overexposure
Odorless, Silver-white lustrous metal.
Dust may be explosive
Avoid dispersion of dust in air. Finely divided particles, dust, or fumes may
be flammable or explosive. Keep away from sparks or ignition sources.
Acute: Inhalation of inorganic tin compounds may cause respiratory irritation. “Metal Fume Fever”, an influenza-like illness, may occur as a result
of inhalation of freshly formed metal oxide particles sized below 1.5 microns and usually between 0.02-0.05 microns. Symptoms may be
delayed 4-12 hours and begin with a sudden onset of thirst and a sweet,
metallic or foul taste in the mouth. Other symptoms may include upper
respiratory tract irritation accompanied by coughing and a dryness of

the mucous membranes, lassitude and a general feeling of malaise.
Fever, chills, muscular pain, mild to severe headache, nausea, occasional
vomiting, exaggerated mental activity, profuse sweating, excessive urination, diarrhea, and prostration may also occur. Tolerance to fumes develops rapidly but is quickly lost. All symptoms usually subside within
24-36 hours. There are no known effects in humans from skin contact
with tin dust although inorganic tin compounds may cause irritation. Tin
powder may cause moderate irritation with eye contact. This substance
is relatively non-toxic by ingestion due to poor absorption although at
very high levels, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, gastric irritation, and
diarrhea may occur.
Chronic: Chronic inhalation of dust or fumes may cause a benign pneumoconiosis without fibrosis. Repeated skin contact with inorganic tin compounds may cause dermatitis. Chronic ingestion of material may cause
abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, and loss of weight.
Respiratory System
According to information currently available, this material is not a carcinogen.

Inhalation
Ingestion
Note(s) to Physician
Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids until no evidence of substance remains
(approximately 15-20 minutes). Get medical attention immediately.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash affected area with soap or
mild detergent and large amounts of water until no evidence of chemical
remains (approximately 15-20 minutes). Get medical attention immediately.
Remove from exposure area to fresh air immediately. If breathing has
stopped, perform artificial respiration. Keep person warm and at rest. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Get medical attention immediately.
Substance should be removed by emesis. Do not induce vomiting in unconscious person. Treatment should be performed by qualified medical personnel. Get medical attention.

806º F (430º C) (Layer); 1,166º F (630º C) (Cloud)
Actual Autoignition Temperature (AIT) can be affected by the concentration of vapors and oxygen, vapor/air contact time, pressure, volume, catalytic impurities, etc. Process conditions should be analyzed to determine if

the AIT’s may be higher or lower.
Use dry sand, dolomite, graphite, sodium chloride, soda ash or appropriate
metal extinguishing powder. Do not apply water to burning material.
Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Apply cooling
water to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire
is out. Stay away from ends of tanks. For a massive fire in a cargo area, use
unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw
from are and let fire burn.
Thermal decomposition may release stannic oxide.
SECTION VI
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
For Spills
Sweep up with a minimum of dusting and place into suitable clean, dry containers for reclamation or later disposal. Residue should be cleaned up using a high-efficiency particulate filter vacuum.
SECTION VII
HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling & Storage
Avoid dispersion of dust in air. Finely divided particles, dust, or fumes may
be flammable or explosive. Deep away from sparks or ignition sources.

Ventilation
Protective Gloves
Eye Protection
Other Protection
Threshold Limit Value(s)
Where the potential exists for exposures over the TLV, use a MSHA/NIOSH
approved full facepiece respirator. Increased protection is obtained from
full facepiece powered-air purifying respirators.
Use only with ventilation sufficient to prevent exceeding recommended exposure limit or buildup of explosive concentrations of vapor in air. No
smoking, flame, or other ignition sources. Equipment must be explosion-proof.
Use impervious gloves and proper clothing to avoid prolonged or repeated
skin contact
Use splash goggles or face shield when eye contact may occur. An eye wash
fountain should always be accessible and operational for emergency use.
Safety shower(s) should always be accessible and operational for emergency use.
