Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THE ALLOYS IN SOLID FORM ARE GENERALLY
NOT CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS. HOWEVER, IF YOUR PROCESS INVOLVES
GRINDING, MELTING, WELDING, CUTTING, OR OTHER PROCESSES THAT CAUSE
A RELEASE OF DUST OR FUME, THEN HA ZARDOUS LEVELS OF DUST OR FUME
OF CONSTITUENTS OF THESE ALLOYS CAN CAUSE ACUTE TOXICITY. TARGET
ORGANS: EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SOME OF THE PRODUCT'S INGREDIENTS ARE
FOUND ON THE FEDERAL OSHA Z LIST, NTP, CAL/OSHA OR IARC. CHROMIUM,
COBALT-CHROMIUM ALLOYS, & NICKEL HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY IARC &/OR
NTP AS POTENTIAL CANCER CAUS ING AGENTS.
Effects of Overexposure:USER GENERATED DUST & FUMES MAY ON CONTACT WITH
THE SKIN OR EYES PRODUCE MECHANICAL IRRITATION. CHRONIC EXPOSURES
COULD CAUSE DERMATITIS (SKIN) OR CONJUNCTIVITIS (EYES). EXCESSIVE
INHALATION OF USER G ENERATED FUMES FROM WELDING/BRAZING WITH THESE
PRODUCTS MAY, DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE PROCESS
USED, POSE A LONG-TERM HEALTH HAZARD.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CAUSING ALLERGIC REACTIONS IN
INDIVIDUALS SENSITIVE TO THE METAL(S) CONTAINED IN THESE PRODUCTS.

First Aid:INHALATION: IF LARGE AMOUNTS ARE INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH
AIR. SUPPORT RESPIRATION AS NEEDED. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR
TREATMENT, OBSERVATION AND SUPPORT AS NEEDED. SKIN CONTACT: WASH
AFFECTED AREA WITH MILD DETERGENT AND WATER. EYE CONTACT: FLUSH
EYES THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. INGESTION: SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Lower Limits:NA
Upper Limits:NA
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL OR SAND. DO NOT USE WATER ON METAL
DUST FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE
WORN WHEN FIGHTING METAL DUST FIRES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MAY OCCUR WITH CERTAIN METAL DUST FIRES.
THIS MATERIAL IS NONCOMBUSTIBLE UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
HOWEVER, FINE POWDERS OR DUSTS (PRODUCED UPON GRINDING, CUTTING,
ETC.) OF CERTAIN METALS CAN PRODUC E FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS,
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. DO NOT CREATE DUST CLOUDS.

Spill Release Procedures:IN CASE OF A SPILL, CLEAR THE AFFECTED AREA,
PROTECT PEOPLE, & RESPOND WITH TRAINED PERSONNEL. FOR EXPOSURE TO
PARTICULATE LEVELS ABOVE REGULATED LEVELS, USE RUBBER GLOVES &
NITRILE GLOVES, CHEMICALLY RESISTANT SUIT & BOOTS, HARD-HAT, & AIR
PURIFYING RESPIRATOR WITH A HEPA FILTER. SWEEP UP THE SPILLED SOLID
& PLACE ALL SPILL RESIDUE IN A DOUBLE PLASTIC BAG & SEAL.

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID GETTING CHEMICAL ON YOU OR IN
YOU. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING CHEMICALS. DO NOT EAT OR DRINK WHILE
HANDLING CHEMICALS. ALL EMPLOYEES WHO HANDLE THIS MATERIAL SHOULD
BE TRAINED TO HANDLE IT SAFELY . (SEE BELOW)
Other Precautions:ALWAYS USE THIS PRODUCT IN AREAS WHERE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION IS PROVIDED. DECONTAMINATE EQUIPMENT USING SOAPY WATER
BEFORE MAINTENANCE BEGINS. XOLLECT ALL RINSATES AND DISPOSE OF
ACCORDING TO APPLICABL E FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL PROCEDURES.

Respiratory Protection:USE AN APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR (IN
ACCORDANCE WITH 29 CFR 1910.134) IF AIRBORNE DUST/FUME
CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED THE APPLICABLE PEL OR TLV. ALL APPROPRIATE
REQUIREMENTS IN 29 CFR 1910.134 SHOULD BE MET. USE AIR-SUPPLIED
RESPIRATOR IN CONFINED SPACES.
Ventilation:PROVIDE SUFFICIENT GENERAL AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO
MAINTAIN AIR CONCENTRATIONS OF FUME OR DUST BELOW THE PEL AND TLV.
Protective Gloves:DEPENDING OF ENVIRONMENT.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES ARE RECOMMENDED.
Other Protective Equipment:EYEWASH FOUNTAINS SHOULD BE READILY
AVAILABLE TO AREAS OF USE AND HANDLING. DEPENDING ON ENVEIRONMENT,
WEAR FULL BODY CLOTHING, GLOVES & HAT.
Work Hygienic Practices:DO NOT TAKE CLOTHING HOME.
Supplemental Safety and Health
SPILL OR LEAK: USE NORMAL CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES, WET USING SWEEPING
TAKING CARE TO AVOID CREATING DUST. VACUUM ONLY WITH HEPA FILTERED
EQUIPMENT. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR FOR CLEAN-UP. SOME FINE METAL
POWDERS MAY IGNITE OR EXPLODE UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. TRAINED
PERSONNEL USING PRE=PLANNED PROCEDURES SHOULD RESPOND.
