Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HAZARDS INCLUDE BREATHING OF METAL
OXIDE FUMES, AND METAL DUST CAUSED BY WELDING,CUTTING AND GRINDING
OPERATIONS. CHRONIC INHALATION OF METAL PARTICLES MAY LEAD TO
PERMINENT PULMONARY DISFUNCTION. IN HALATION OR INGESTION OF LEAD
FROM THE ALLOY LEADED STEEL MAY LEAD TO LEAD POISONING.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD,CHROMIUM AND NICKEL ARE LISTED AS
CARCINOGENS BY NTP AND IARC. THIS APPLYS ONLY TO ALLOYS CONTAINING
THESE METALS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION;METAL FUME FEVER:METALLIC TASTE IN
MOUTH,DRY IRRITATED THROAT,CHILLS,FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS.
INHALED/INGESTED;LEAD POISON:ABDOMINAL CRAMPS,ANEMIA,MUSCLE
WEAKNESS,HEADACHE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PREVIOUS OVER EXPOSURES TO THE
MATERIALS MAY PLACE PEOPLKE AT RISK WHEN
FORMING,GRINDING,CUTTING,WELDING THE ALLOY STEELS.

First Aid:EYE:FLUSH W/WATER 15 MIN, HOLD LIDS OPEN. SKIN:WASH WITH
SOAP & WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND LAUNDER BEFORE
REUSE. INHALED/METAL FUME FEVER:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESTORE
BREATHING IF NECES SARY. GET MEDICAL CARE. INGESTED:VERY UNLIKELY
EXPOSURE. SYMPTOMS OF LEAD POISON:SEE A PHYSICIAN. IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS OR IS SEVERE,SEE A DOCTOR.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:PRODUCT IS NON FLAMMABLE. EXTINGUISH FIRE WITH
MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SOURCE OF FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA &
FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING CHEMICAL FIRE. USE WATER
SPRAY TO COOL NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.

SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING IN A CONFINED
SPACE OR WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR GENERAL VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP
EXPOSURE BELOW PEL/TLV.
Ventilation:USE LOCAL VENTILATION WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING TO
KEEP THE DUST, FUMES & GASES FROM THE WORKERS BREATHING ZONE.
Protective Gloves:WELDERS LEATHER GLOVES
