Guidelines for Handling Aluminum Fines Generated During Various Aluminum Fabricating Operations
The Aluminium Association www.aluminum.org have a publication on the fines produced in the Aluminium trade.
This is taken from the documents scope:
This brochure discusses the potential problems involved in various aspects of aluminum fabricating which generate fine aluminum particles. It also discusses methods of particle collection and handling designed to reduce the risk of fire or explosion. The information is similar, in general, to that presented in National Fire Protection Association Standard No. 484 “Standard for Combustible Metals.” However, it is not written to displace any aspect of the Standard, but rather to support and perhaps supplement it. In addition, it is not meant to cover aluminum powder and paste products. These are discussed in The Aluminum Association brochure No. TR-2 “Recommendations for Storage and Handling of Aluminum Powders and Paste.”
The document includes guidelines for handling aluminium fines.
