SECTION: 2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

2.1 Classification of the mixture:
* The product is placed on the market in solid form
General Hazard Statement: Solid metallic products are generally classified as “articles” and do not constitute a hazardous material in
solid form under the definitions of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). Any articles manufactured from these
solid products would be generally classified as non-hazardous. However some hazardous elements contained in these products can be
emitted under certain processing conditions such as but not limited to: burning, melting, cutting, sawing, brazing, grinding, machining,
milling, and welding. Products in the solid state present no fire or explosion hazard. Small chips, fines, and dust may ignite readily, though.

SECTION: 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Description of first aid measures:
First-aid measures after inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical attention.
First-aid measures after skin contact: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
First-aid measures after eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with water and continue washing for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical
attention if discomfort persists.
First-aid measures after ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Symptoms/injuries after inhalation: Short-term (acute) overexposure to the gases, fumes, and dusts may include irritation of the eyes,
lungs, nose, and throat. Some toxic gases associated with welding may cause pulmonary edema, asphyxiation, and death.
Acute overexposure may include signs and symptoms such as watery eyes, nose and throat irritation, headache, dizziness, difficulty in
breathing, frequent coughing, or chest pain. The presence of chromium/chromate in fume can cause irritation of nasal membranes and skin.
The presence of nickel compounds in fume can cause metallic taste, nausea, tightness of chest, fever, and allergic reaction. Excessive
inhalation or ingestion of manganese can produce manganese poisoning. Overexposure to manganese compounds may affect the central
nervous system, symptoms of which are languor, sleepiness, muscular weakness, emotional disturbances, and spastic gait resembling
Parkinsonism. These symptoms can become progressive and permanent if not treated. Excessive inhalation of fumes may cause “Metal Fume
Fever” with Flu-like symptoms such as chills, fever, body aches, vomiting, sweating, etc.

8.2 Exposure controls:

Appropriate engineering controls: Local exhaust and general ventilation must be adequate to meet exposure standards.
Hand protection: Wear welding gloves.
Eye protection: Wear helmet or face shield with filter lens of appropriate shade number. See ANSI/ASC Z49.1 Section 4.2. Provide
protective screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
Skin and body protection: Wear head and body protection, which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks, flame and electrical
shock. See ANSI Z49.1. At a minimum this includes welder’s gloves and a protective face shield, and may include arm protectors, aprons,
hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial clothing. Train the employee not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate him/herself
from work and ground. Welders should not wear short sleeve shirts or short pants.
Respiratory protection: If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH approved respiratory protection should be
worn.

SECTION: 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

10.1 Reactivity: No additional information available.
10.2 Chemical stability: The product is stable under normal conditions. When using it may produce dangerous fumes and gases.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions: Will not occur.
10.4 Conditions to avoid: None
10.5 Incompatible materials: None
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products: Welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are
dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedure and welding consumables used. Other conditions which also influence the
composition and quantity of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed include: coating on the metal being welded (i.e. paint,
painting, galvanizing), the number of welders, the volume of the work area, the quality and the amount of ventilation, the position of the welders
head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence of contaminants in the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from
the cleaning and degreasing activities).
When an electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and form from the ingredients listed
in Section 3. Fume and gas decomposition, and not the ingredients in the electrode, are important. The concentration of a given fume or gas
component may decrease or increase by many times the original concentration. Also, new compounds not in the electrodes may form.
Decomposition products of normal operation include those originating from the volatilization, reaction or oxidation of the materials shown in
Section 3, plus those from the base metal coating, etc., as noted above. Reasonable expected fume constituents of this product would include:
Complex oxides of iron, manganese, silicon, chromium, nickel, columbium, molybdenum, copper, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone and
nitrogen oxides. Some products will also contain antimony, barium, molybdenum, aluminum, columbium, magnesium, strontium, tungsten, and or
zirconium. Fume limit for chromium, nickel and or manganese may be reached before limit of 5 mg/m3 of general welding fumes is reached.

Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the
arc. Determine the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which workers are exposed by taking an air sample from inside the welder’s
helmet if worn or in the worker’s breathing zone. Improve ventilation if exposures are not below limits. See ANSI/AWS F1.1, F1.3 and F1.5,
available from the American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126.
