Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SHORT TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE TO
WELDING FUMES MAY RESULT IN DISCOMFORT SUCH AS DIZZINESS, NAUSEA,
AND DRYNESS OR IRRITATION OF THE NOSE, THROAT, OR EYES. LONG TERM
(CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES MAY LEAD TO SIDEROSIS
(IRON DEPOSITS IN THE LUNG) AND IS BELIEVED BY SOME INVESTIGATORS
TO AFFECT PULMONARY FUNCTION. ARC RAYS CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN
SKIN. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
Effects of Overexposure:DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, AND DRYNESS OR IRRITATION OF
THE NOSE, THROAT, OR EYES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:AGGRAVATION OF PREEXISTING
RESPIRATORY OR ALLERGIC CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR IN SOME WORKERS.

First Aid:EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUES RECOMMENDED BY THE AMERICAN RED
CROSS. FOR SKIN CONTACT, REMOVE PRATICLES BY THOROUGHLY WASHING
WITH SOAP AND WATER. FOR EYE CONTACT, FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST
15 MINUT ES, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. FOR INHALATION, REMOVE FROM
EXPOSURE, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF EXPERIENCING BREATHING
DIFFICULTY.

Fire Fighting Procedures:REFER TO AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z-49.1 FOR
FIRE PREVENTION DURING THE USE OF WELDING PROCEDURES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THESE PRODUCTS AS SHIPPED ARE
NONHAZARDOUS, NONFLAMMABLE, NONEXPLOSIVE, AND NONREACTIVE. WELDING
ARC AND SPARKS CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLES AND FLAMMABLES.

Spill Release Procedures:NOT APPLICABLE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MANUFACTURES`S
INSTRUCTIONS AND THE PRECAUTIONARY LABEL ON THIS PRODUCT. SEE
AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z-49.1, SAFETY IN WELDING AND CUTTING,
PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY, P.O. BPX 35410, MIAMI,
FL 33135 AND OSHA PUBLICATION 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), U.S.

Respiratory Protection:USE RESPIRABLE FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIES
RESPIRATOR WHEN WELDING IN CONFINED SPACE OR WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR
VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW TLV.
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH VENTILATION, LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC, OR BOTH,
TO KEEP THE FUMES AND GSES BELOW THE TLV'S IN THE WORKER'S
BREATHING ZONE AND THE GENERAL AREA.
Protective Gloves:WELDERS GLOVES AND A PROTECTIVE FACE SHIELD.
Eye Protection:WEAR HELMET OR USE FACE SHIELD WITH FILTER LENS.
Other Protective Equipment:PROVIDE PROTECTIVE SCREENS AND FLASH
GOGGLES, IF NECESSAY, TO SHIELD OTHERS. WEAR HEAD, HAND, AND BODY
PROTECTION WHICH HELP TO PREVENT INJURY FROM RADIATION, SPARKS AND
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Work Hygienic Practices:AT A MINIMUM (WELDER`S GLOVES, PROTECTIVE FACE
SHIELD, ARM/SHOULDER PROTECTORS, HATS, AS WELL AS DARK SUBSTANTIAL
CLOTHING). TRAIN THE WELDER NOT TO TOUCH LIVE ELECTRICAL PARTS & TO
INSULATE HIMSELF.
Supplemental Safety and Health
VENTILATION: TRAIN THE WELDING TO KEEP HIS HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES. EYE
PROTECTION: AS A RULE OF THUMB, START WITH A SHADE WHICH IS TOO
DARK TO SEE THE WELD ZONE. THEN GO TO THE NEXT LIGHTER SHADE WHICH
GIVES SUFFICIENT VIEW OF WELD ZONE. PROVIDE PROTECTIVE SCREENS AND
FLASH GOGGLES, IF NECESSARY, TO SHIELD OTHERS.

HCC:N1

GASEOUS REACTION MAY INCLUDE CARBON MONOXIDE AND CARBON DIOXIDE. OZONE
AND NITROGEN OXIDES MAY BE FORMED BY THE RADIATION FROM THE ARC.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:REASONABLY EXPECTED FUME OR GAS
CONSTITUENTS OF THIS PRODUCT COULD INCLUDE PRIMARILY OXIDES OF
IRON; SECONDARILY COMPLEX OXIDES OF MANGANESE, SILICON, AND
ALUMINUM.

Waste Disposal Methods:PREVENT WASTE FROM CONTAMINATING SURROUNDING
ENVIRONMENT. DISCARD ANY PRODUCT, RESIDUE, DISPOSABLE CONTAINER, OR
LINER IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE MANNER, IN FULL COMPLIANCE
WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.

Toxicological Information:THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: THE ACGIH RECOMMENDED
GENERAL LIMIT FOR WELDING FUME NOC (NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFID) IS 5
MG/M3. THE ACGIH 1984-85 PREFACE STATES: :THE TLV-TWA SHOULD BE
USED AS GUIDES IN THE CON TROL OF HEALTH HAZARDS AND SHOULD NOT BE
USED AS FIRM LINES BETWEEN SAFE AND DANGEROUS CONCENTRATIONS".
