Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: INHALATION-INHALED PARTICULATE
MAY IRRITATE THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF
SLUMINUM, COBALT, COPPER, MAGNESIUM, NICKEL & ZINC CAN CAUSE
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, COUGH, BRONCHITIS , CHILLS, "METAL FUME
FEVER" & ASTHMA-LIKE SYMPTOMS. INGESTION-INGESTION OF LARGE DOSES
MAY CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, & DIARRHEA. SKIN-MAY CAUSE IRRITATION &
IN SOME INDIVIDUALS AN ALLERGIC DERMATITIS W HEN ELEMENTS SUCH AS
CHROME, COBALT, COPPER & NICKEL ARE PRESENT. EYES-CONTACT WITH
PARTICULATE METAL (DUST, FUME OR POWDER) MAY INFLAME THE
CONJUNCTIVA.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CHROMIUM, COBALT & NICKEL-OSHA REQUIRES
THAT CHROMIUM & ITS COMPOUNDS, COBALT & ITS COMPOUNDS, & NICKEL &
ITS COMPOUNDS BE CONSIDERED AS CARCINOGENS BECAUSE THAY ARE SO
CLASSIFIED BY IARC &/OR NTP. WE LDING FUMES-OSHA REQUIRES THAT
WELDING FUMES BE CONSIDERED AS CARCINOGENS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO
CLASSIFIED BY IARC.
Effects of Overexposure:CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS OF
OVEREXPOSURE-RESPIRATORY DISEASE WITH SYMPTOMS RANGING FROM
SHORTNESS OF BREATH & COUGH TO PERMANENT DISABILITY DUE TO LOSS OF
LUNG FUNCTION; SENSITIZATION OR HYPERSENSITIVIT Y & FIBROSIS OF
SUBSEQUENT EFFECTS ON THE HEART MAY BE CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE
TO DUST OR FUMES CONTAINING COBALT, NICKEL, TITANIUM & TUNGSTEN.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION HAS BEEN IDENTIFI ED WITH
EXCESSIVE MANGANESE EXPOSURE. INSOLUBLE NICKEL COMPOUNDS &
HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS HAVE BEEN LINKED TO NASAL, BRONCHIAL
& LUNG CANCERS. ALUMINUM & IRON HAVE BEEN INDICATED TO CAUSE GASTR
O-INTESTINAL DISORDERS IN THE LUNG.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE AHD AN
ALLERGIC REACTION OR SENSITIVITY TO METALS SUCH AS CHROMIUM,
COPPER, COBALT & NICKEL MAY ENCOUNTER SKIN RASH OR DERMATITIS IF
SKIN CONTACT WITH THIS PRODUCT OCCURS.

First Aid:IINHALATION-BREATHING DIFFICULTY CAUSED BY INHALATION OF DUST
OR FUME, MOVE INDIVIDUAL TO FRESH AIR & ADMINISTER OXYGEN AS
NEEDED. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
OBTAIN MEDI CAL AID AT ONCE. INGEST-CONTACT POISON CONTROL CENTER.
UNLESS POISON CONTROL ADVICESES OTHERWISE, HAVE CONSCIOUS PERSON
DRINK 1-2 GLASSES OF WATER. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS LARGE
AMOUNTS ARE INGE STED. OBTAIN AID. SKIN-CUTS & ABRASIONS CAN BE
TREATED BY STANDARD FIRST AID. IF IRRITAITON DEVELOPS, OBTAIN
MEDICAL AID. EYES-FLUSH DUST OR POWDER FROM EYE WITH WATER FOR 15
MINS. IF IRRITATION OR RE DNESS OCCURS, OBTAIN MEDICAL AID.

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.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORAGE-- IN SOLID FORM THIS MATERIAL
POSES NO SPECIAL PROBLEMS. TO ENSURE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT,
STORE IN A WARM, DRY ENVIRONMENT AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES &
INCOMPATIBLES. HANDLING-THIS PRODUC T MUST BE HANDLED ACCORDING TO
THE SIZE, SHAPE & QUANTITY OF MATERIAL INVOLVED.
Other Precautions:HANDLING-POWDERS SHOULD BE MOVED OR TRANSPORTED TO
MINIMIZE SPILL OR RELEASE POTENTIAL. AVOID DUST INHALATION & EYE OR
SKIN CONTACT. WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT CONTACT
WITH SKIN & E YES.

Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORS AS SPEI\CIFIED BY
AN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST/QUALIFIED SAFETY PROFESSIONAL. LUNG
FUNCTION TEST RECOMMENDED FOR USERS OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE DEVICES.
USE FUME RESPIRATOR OR AI R SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST
OR GENERAL VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW OSHA LIMITS FOR
AIR CONTAMINATION.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE USED TO KEEP FUMES AND
GASES FROM THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE AND THE GENERAL AREA.
Protective Gloves:WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT METAL CUTS & ABRASIONS.
Eye Protection:WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN RISK OF EYE INJURY IS PRESENT.
Other Protective Equipment:PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SUCH AS UNIFORMS,
DISPOSABLE COVERALLS SAFETY SHOES, ETC., MAY BE REQUIRED DURING
METAL HANDLING OPERATIONS AS APPROPIATE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF
EXPOSURE.
Work Hygienic Practices:PRACTICE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING TECHNIQUES THAT
MINIMIZE ACCUMULATION OF DUST. PRACTICE GOOD HYGIENE AFTER HANDLING
OF DUST/POWDER FORMS OF THIS MATERIAL, ESPECIALLY BEFORE EATING,
DRINKING, SMOKING, ETC.
Supplemental Safety and Health
MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE: LUNG FUNCTION TESTS, CHEST X-RAYS AND ROUTINE
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS MAY BE USEFUL TO DETERMINE EFFECTS OF DUST OR
FUME EXPOSURE. ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE: EXPOSURE TO THE ELEME
NTS CAN BE BEST DETERMINED BY HAVING AIR SAMPLES TAKEN IN THE
EMPLOYEE BREATHING ZONE, WORK AREA OR DEPARTMENT.
