Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ELEC ARC WORKING MAY CREATE ONE OR
MORE OF FOLLOWING: FUMES & GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS TO HLTH. ELEC
SHOCK CAN KILL. ARC RAYS CAN INJURE EYES & BURN SKIN. NOISE CAN DMG
HEARING. ADDNL DETAILED DESCRIPTI ON OF HLTH & PHYSICAL HAZS &
CONSEQUENCES MAY BE FOUND IN ESAB'S PUB F52-529 "PRECS & SAFE
PRACTS FOR ELEC WELDING & CUTTING" & F2035, "PRESC & SAFE PRACTS
FOR GAS WELDING, CUTTING & HEATING." MAY BE OBTAINED FROM LOC
SUPPLIER/WRITING MFR. ACUTE: FUME & DUST OVEREXP MAY INCL IRRIT OF
EYES, LUNGS, NOSE & THROAT. SOME TOX GASES ASSOC W/WELDING MAY
CAUSE PULM EDEMA, ASPHY & DEATH. ACUTE OVEREXP MAY I NCL SIGNS &
SYMPS (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SILICA, CRYSTALLINE-QUARTZ: IARC
MONOGRAPHS, VOL 68, 1997: GROUP 1. NTP 7TH ANNUAL REPORT ON
CARCINOGENS, 1994:ANTICIPATED CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZS: SUCH AS WATERY EYES, NOSE & THROAT
IRRIT, HDCH, DIZZ, DFCLTY BRTHG, FREQUENT COUGH OR CHEST PAIN. DUST
GENERATED FROM POURING/OTHERWISE HNDLG FLUX MAY ALSO CAUSE IRRIT OF
EYES, LUNGS, NOSE & THROAT. INGEST OF BARIUM OXIDE CAN RSLT IN SEV
PAIN, VOMIT, PARALYSIS & DEATH. CHRONIC OVEREXP TO AIR CONTAMINANTS
MAY LEAD TO THEIR ACCUM IN LUNGS, CNDTN WHICH MAY BE SEEN AS DENSE
AREAS ON CHEST X -RAYS. SEVERITY OF CHG IS PROPORTIONAL TO LENGTH
OF EXPOS. CHGS SEEN ARE NOT NECESSARILY ASSOC W/SYMPS OR SIGNS OF
REDUCED LUNG FUNC/DISEASE. IN ADDN, X-RAY CHGS MAY BE CAUSED BY
NON-WORK FACTORS SUCH AS SMKNG, ETC. (SUPDAT)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS W/ALLERGIES OR IMPAIRED
RESP FUNC MAY HAVE SYMPS WORSENED BY EXPOS TO WELDING FUMES.
HOWEVER, SUCH RXN CANNOT BE PREDICTED DUE TO VARIATION IN
COMPOSITION & QTY OF DECOMP PRODS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INGEST: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY . EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES
W/POTABLE WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM MD .
SKIN: FLUSH W/COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. CALL MD . IN CA SE OF EMER,
CALL FOR MED AID. EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUE RECOM BY RED CROSS. IF
BRTHG IS DFCLT, GIVE OXYG & CALL MD. FOR ELEC SHOCK, DISCONNECT &
TURN OFF POWER. IF NOT BRTHG, BEGIN ARTF RESP, PREF MO
UTH-TO-MOUTH. IF NO DETECTABLE PULSE, BEGIN CPR. IMMED CALL MD. FOR
ARC BURN, APPLY COLD, CLEAN COMPRESSES & CALL MD.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:PRODUCT WILL NOT BURN. HOWEVER, WELDING ARCS & SPKS
CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE & FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. USE EXTINGUISHING
MEDIA RECOMMENDED FOR BURNING MATERIALS & FIRE SITUATION.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SEE ANSI Z49.1 "SAFETY IN WELDING &
CUTTING" & "SAFE PRACTICES" CODE: SP, PUBLISHED BY AMERICAN WELDING
SOCIETY, PO BOX 351040, MIAMI, FL 33135 & NFPA 51B "CUTTING &
WELDING PROCESSES," PUBLISHED BY N FPA, BATTERYMARCH PARK, QUINCY,
MA 02269 FOR ADDITIONAL FIRE PREVENTION & PROTECTION INFO.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:READ & UNDERSTAND MFR'S INSTRUCTIONS &
PRECAUTIONARY LABEL ON PRODUCT. SEE ANSI Z-49.1, "SAFETY IN WELDING

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON, DC 20402 FOR MORE DETAILS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRABLE FUME RESPIRATOR OR
AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR WHEN WELDING IN CONFINED SPACE OR WHERE
LOCAL EXHAUST OR VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW TLV.
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH VENT, LOC EXHST AT ARC OR BOTH, TO KEEP FUMES &
GASES BELOW TLV'S IN WORKER'S BRTHG ZONE & GEN AREA. TRAIN WELDER
TO KEEP HIS/HER HEAD OUT OF FUMES.
Protective Gloves:WELDER'S GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGS & FULL LENGTH FSHLD .
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR HEAD, HAND & BODY PROT WHICH HELP PVNT
INJURY FROM RADIA, SPKS & ELEC SHOCK. SEE ANSI Z49.1. AT MINIMUM,
INCLS WELDER'S GLOVES & PROT FSHLD & MAY INCL ARM PROTECTORS,
APRONS, HATS, (OTHER INFO)
Supplemental Safety and Health
EFTS OF OVEREXP: CHRONIC FLUORIDE ABSORPTION CAN CAUSE SCLEROSIS OF
BONES & MOTTLED TEETH. OVEREXP TO MANGANESE CMPDS MAY AFFECT CNS,
SYMPS OF WHICH ARE LANGOUR, SLEEPINESS, MUSC WEAK, EMOTIONAL DISTU
RBS & SPASTIC GAIT. OVEREXP TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALINE SILICA MAY
RSLT IN SILICOSIS, A DISABLING LUNG DISEASE.
================== Physical/Chemical Properties ==================
Appearance and Odor:FUSED FLUXES ARE GRANULATED GLASS-LIKE PARTICLES,
ODORLESS. BONDED (OTHER INFO)
================= Stability and Reactivity Data =================
Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
NONE CURRENTLY KNOWN.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:WELDING FUMES & GASES CANNOT BE
CLASSIFIED SIMPLY. COMPOSITION & QTY OF BOTH DEPEND ON MATL BEING
WORKED, PROCESS, PROCS & CONSUMABLES USED. OTHER CNDTNS WHICH
INFLUENCE COMPOSITION & QTY (OTHER INFO)
=================== Toxicological Information ===================
Toxicological Information:OTHER INFO: MATLS ARE CONSUMED, FUME & GAS
DECOMP PRODS GENERATED DIFFER IN PERCENT & FORM FROM INGREDS
LISTED. DECOMP PRODS OF NORM OPERATION INCL THOSE ORIGINATING FROM
VOLITALIZATION, RXN OR OXIDAT ION OF INGREDS, PLUS THOSE FROM MATL
BEING WORKED & COATINGS, ETC. NOTED ABOVE. REASONABLY EXPECTED
DECOMP PRODS FROM NORM USE OF PRODS INCL COMPLEX OF OXIDES &
FLUORIDES OF LISTED MATLS AS WELL AS CA RBON MONOXIDE, CARBON
DIOXIDE & NITROGEN OXIDES (REFER TO "CHARACTERIZATION OF ARC
WELDING FUME" AVAIL FROM AWS). TLV FOR MANGANESE (0.2 MG/M3) MAY BE
REACHED BEFORE GEN LIM FOR WELDING FUMES OF 5 MG/ M3 IS REACHED.
ONLY (ECOLOGICAL INFO)
===================== Ecological Information =====================
Ecological:TOXICOLOGICAL INFO: WAY TO DETERMINE TRUE IDENTITY OF DECOMP
PRODS IS BY SAMPLING & ANALYSIS. COMPOSITION & QTY OF FUMES & GASES
TO WHICH WORKER MAY BE OVEREXP CAN BE DETERMINED FROM SAMPLE
OBTAINED F ROM INSIDE WELDER'S HELMET, IF WORN, OR IN WOEKER'S
BRTHG ZONE. SEEN ANSI/AWS F1.1 "METHOD FOR SAMPLING AIRBORNE
PARTICLES GENERATED BY WELDING & ALLIED PROCESSES," AVAIL FROM AWS.
==================== Disposal Considerations ====================
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
