Aluminium dust is flammable and explosive, depending on the size and the concentration of the particles.

Aluminium dust and water produce explosive and flammable hydrogen.

Aluminium dust and iron oxide (rust) interact with each other to produce heat (exothermic reaction).

Aluminium dust and iron oxide (with a mixing ratio of 1/3) combined with a spark can lead to a thermal reaction capable of reaching temperatures up to 2400°C. This type of fire cannot be extinguished using water (production of hydrogen).

Aluminium dust is a hazardous compound. Specific recommendations must be given with regards to treatment.

Metal dust and aluminium dust combine with each other, producing heat.

Metal dust and aluminium dust (with a mixing ratio of 3/1) combined with a spark can lead to a thermal reaction capable of reaching temperatures up to 2400°C. This type of fire cannot be extinguished using water (production of hydrogen).

Metal dust can become charged with static electricity, resulting in an explosion when it comes into contact with aluminium dust (even when cool)

The unavoidable emission of sparks during sanding or milling work on hybrid auto bodies can result in the aluminium/steel mixture catching fire.

Carbon dust is flammable and can even prove explosive depending on the size of the particles and their concentration.

Carbon dust can become charged with static electricity, resulting in explosion when it comes into contact with aluminium dust (even when cool).

Carbon dust is now understood to be potentially carcinogenic.

Carbon dust conducts electricity and can destroy electronic devices such as smartphones, computers or diagnostic devices.

Carbon dust is a hazardous compound. All specific recommendations must be respected with regards to treatment.
