Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:WELDING RODS ARE NOT HAZARDOUS.
WELDING HAZARDS ARE COMPLEX. RECORDS SHOW MAJORITY OF INJURIES
RESULT FROM PHYSICAL ACCIDENTS; SUCH AS ELECTRIC SHOCK, RESTRICTED
VISIBILITY/MOBILITY, PHYSICAL STRAINS , RADIATION BURNS (SUCH AS
EYE FLASH), HEAT BURNS DUE TO HOT METAL OR SPATTER, OR METAL FUME
FEVER. INHALATION: SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE ABOVE LIMITS MAY RESULT IN
DIZZINESS, NAUSEA OR IRRITATION OF NOSE A ND THROAT. SKIN: CONTACT
WITH WELDING FUME MAY CAUSE RASH OR ALLERGIC REACTION. EYES:
WELDING FUME MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. ARC RAYS (ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT) CAN
INJURE EYES. INGESTION: INCIDENTAL AMOUNTS IN GESTED ARE NOT LIKELY
TO CAUSE INJURY.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:PER MSDS:CR(VI)/NI CMPDS CARC BY
OSHA/IARC/NTP.WELD FUME/CO CARC BY OSHA/IARC.CHEMS KNOWN TO STATE
OF CALIFORNIA CARC.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE ABOVE LIMITS
LISTED IN MAY RESULT IN DIZZINESS, NAUSEA OR IRRITATION OF THE
NOSE AND THROAT.INGESTION: AMOUNTS INGESTED INCIDENTAL TO
INDUSTRIAL HANDLING ARE NOT LIKEL Y TO CAUSE INJURY. AVOID HAND,
CLOTHING, FOOD AND DRINK CONTACT WITH WELDING FUME BY WASHING HANDS
BEFORE HAND TO MOUTH ACTIVITIES SUCH AS DRINKING AND EATING.SKIN
CONTACT WITH WELDING FUME MAY CAUSE SKIN RASH OR ALLERGIC
REACTION. EYES: WELDING FUME MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. ARC RAYS
(ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT)CAN INJURE EYES.

First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, PERFORM CPR.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO
AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. CONTACT A POISON CONTROL CENTER. UNLESS
POISON CO NTROL CENTER ADVISES OTHERWISE HAVE CONSCIOUS PERSON
DRINK 1 OR 2 GLASSES OF WATER TO DILUTE, INDUCEMENT OF VOMITING IS
NOT NECESSARY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED

ATTENTION.

Flash Point:NONE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NP
Extinguishing Media:AS SHIPPED, THESE PRODUCTS ARE NONFLAMMABLE AND
NONEXPLOSIVE. HOWEVER, WELDING ARCS AND SPARKS CAN IGNITE
COMBUSTIBLES, AND CAN INITIATE FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:BE SURE YOU READ AND UNDERSAND AMERICAN
NATIONAL STANDARD INSTITUTE STANDARD ANSI Z49.1 "SAFETY IN WELDING
AND CUTTING" AND NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD 51B
FOR FIRE PREVENTION IN "CU TTING AND WELDING PROCESSES" BEFORE
USING THESE PRODUCTS.

Spill Release Procedures:SOLID MATERIAL POSES NO CLEAN-UP PROBLEMS. IF
MATERIAL IN POWDER/DUST FORM NOTIFY SAFETY PERSONNEL, ISOLATE AREA
AND DENY ENTRY. DO NOT SWEEP, CLEANUP SHOULD BE CONDUCTED WITH A
VACUUM SYSTEM UTILIZI NG HEPA FILTER SYSTEM. CAUTION SHOULD BE
TAKEN TO MINIMIZE AIRBORNE GENERATION OF POWDER/DUST,AVOID
CONTAMINATION OF AIR & WATER. CLEANUP PESONNEL PROTECT AGAINST
EXPOSURE. FOLLOW OSHA 29CFR 190.120.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLING-DUST AND WELDING FUME SHOULD
BE MOVED OR TRANSPORTED TO MINIMIZE SPILL OR RELEASE POTENTIAL.
STORAGE-- IN SOLID FORM THIS MATERIAL POSES NO SPECIAL PROBLEMS. TO
ENSURE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRO DUCT, STORE IN A WARM, DRY
ENVIRONMENT AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLES.

Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORS. LUNG FUNCTION
TEST RECOMMENDED FOR USERS OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE DEVICES.USE FUME
RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR
GENERAL VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW OSHA LIMITS FOR
AIR CONTAMINATION. WELDING SHIELDING GASES CAN DISPLACE AIR AND
CAUSE ASPHYXIATION IN CONFINED SPACES.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE USED TO KEEP FUMES AND
GASES FROM THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE AND THE GENERAL AREA.
Protective Gloves:DRY WELDER'S GLOVES AND ARM PROTECTORS.
Eye Protection:WEAR SAFETY GLASSES UNDER WELDER'S HELMET OR FACE
SHIELD.
