EC number: 266-007-8 | CAS number: 65996-74-9 The oxidized surface of steel produced during reheating, conditioning, hot rolling, and hot forming operations. This substance is usually removed by process waters used for descaling, roll and material cooling, and other purposes. It is subsequently recovered by gravity separation techniques. Composed primarily of high-purity iron oxides. May contain varying amounts of other oxides, elements, and trace compounds.

Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
In case of skin contact: wash off with water and soap.
In case of eye contact: Rinse immediately carefully and thoroughly with eye-bath or water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
In case of ingestion: Rinse mouth immediately.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: water spray and sand
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Use extinguishing media appropriated to close-stored products
