Health Hazards Data
=======================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES

Ingestion: YES
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: YES
IARC: YES
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: WELDING GENERATES FUMES, GASES & ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIA
W/KNOWN ADVERSE HLTH EFTS. COMPOSITION OF WELDING EMISSIONS VARIES
SUBSTANTIALLY W/WELDING PROCESS. ACUTE: SHORT TERM EXPOS TO WELDING FUME MAY
R SLT IN DISCOMFORT, DIZZ, NAUS & DRYNESS/IRRIT OF THROAT. CHRONIC: LONG
TERM EXPOS TO WELDING FUME, GASES/DUST MAY CONTRIBUTE TO PULM
IRRIT/PNEUMOCONIOSIS. LONG TERM EXPOS TO IRON FUME MAY PRDCE SIDERO SIS,
WHICH IS GENRLY REGARDED AS BENIGN. NICKEL & CHROMIUM SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED POSS CARCINS PER OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200. CERTAIN NICKEL CMPDS HAVE
BEEN IMPLICATED BASED ON EXPER IN SOME NICKEL REFINING OPERATIONS.
SPECIFIC(EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: NICKEL:IARC MONOGRAPHS , VOL 49, PG 257, 1990:
GRP 2B. NTP 8TH ANNUAL RPT ON CARCINS, 1998: REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE
ANIMAL CARCIN. ANIMAL: LUNGS, NASAL CAVITIES. SILICA, CRYSTALLINE-FUSED: IARC
M ONOGRAPHS, SUPP. VOL 7, PG 341, 1987: GRP 2A. NTP 8TH ANNUAL RPT ON
CARCINS, 1998: RESONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE ANIMAL CARCIN. LUNG.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HLTH HAZ:CMPDS, HOWEVER, HAVE NOT BEEN
DETERMINED & DIRECT ASSOC BTWN NICKEL IN WELDING FUME & CANCER HAS
NOT BEEN DEMONSTRATED. SOME CMPDS OF HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM HAVE BEEN REPORTED
TO BE CARCINOGENIC . NO CLEAR ASSOC, HOWEVER, HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BTWN
CHROMIUM IN WELDING FUME & DEVELOPMENT OF CANCER. EXPOS LIMITS SHOULD BE
MAINTAINED BELOW LEVELS LISTED IN INGREDIENTS SECTION. ROUTES OF ENTRY: (1 )
INHALATION OF FUME. (2) BURNS FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION. IMPORTANT -
WELDING ELECTRODES ARE A NON-HAZARDOUS SOLID AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES.
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPAIRED PULMONARY
FUNCTION OR ILLNESS MAY HAVE SYMPTOMS EXACERBATED BY IRRITANTS CONTAINED IN
WELDING FUMES.
First Aid: INHALATION: REMOVE FROM DUST OR FUME EXPOSURE. IF BREATHING HAS
STOPPED PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. SUMMON MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
INGESTION: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY (FP N). SKIN: FLUSH W/COPIOUS AMO UNTS OF
WATER. CALL MD (FP N). EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH W/POTABLE WATER FOR A MINIMUM
OF 15 MINUTES, SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM MD (FP N).
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
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
& LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Handling And Storage Precautions: TRAIN EMPLOYEE TO KEEP HIS HEAD OUT OF FUMES
& NOT TO TOUCH LIVE ELEC PARTS & TO INSULATE HIMSELF FROM WORK &
GROUND. READ & UNDERSTAND MFR'S INSTRUCTIONS & PRECAUTIONARY LBL ON
PROD. USE EXHST SYS TO CLEAR WELDING FUMES. MAKE SURE THAT INHALED AIR DOES
NOT CONTAIN FUME CONSTITUENTS ABOVE PEL'S.
Other Precautions: NOTE:FOR OTHER PRECS/ADDNL SFTY INFO ON WELDING &
CUTTING, SEE ANSI Z49.1-1980, "SAFETY IN WELDING & CUTTING" &

Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Flash Point Text: NONE
Lower Limits: NONE
Upper Limits: NONE
Extinguishing Media: THIS ALLOY IS NONCOMBUSTIBLE. USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
APPROPRIATE TO THE SURROUNDING FIRE. TO EXTINGUISH A METAL POWDER FIRE USE
DRY SAND, DRY GRAPHITE/OTHER CLASS "D" EXTINGUISHER.
Fire Fighting Procedures: USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (FP N). IF THIS MATERIAL IS REDUCED TO POWDER FORM, CAUTION MUST BE
USED TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: NO UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MATERIAL. NFPA RATING: HEALTH = 2; FLAMMABILITY = 0;
REACTIVITY = 0.
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
Respiratory Protection: USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRABLE FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR
SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR WHEN WELDING, BRAZING OR SOLDERING IN CONFINED SPACE OR
WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW PEL, TL V OR
STEL.
Ventilation: USE ENOUGH VENT, LOC EXHST AT ARC, FLAME/BOTH, TO KEEP FUMES &
GASES BELOW PEL'S, TLV'S/STEL'S IN WORKER'S BRTHG ZONE & GEN AREA. SEE
ANSI/ASC Z49.1 SECTION 5.
Protective Gloves: WELDER'S GLOVES.
Eye Protection: ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORK GOGGS & FULL LGTH FSHLD (FP N) W/FILTER
LENS OF (SUPDAT)
Other Protective Equipment: ANSI APPRVD EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER (FP N). WEAR
