Toxicological Information:N/P. OTHER INFO: OR HAVE RESIDUAL OIL FROM
MFG PROCESS. PRLNGD/RPTD SKIN CNTCT W/OIL MAY RSLT IN SKIN IRRIT,
DERM OR BOTH. UNTREATED MILDLY REFINED MINERAL OILS HAVE PRDCED

==================== Disposal Considerations ====================
Waste Disposal Methods:USED OR UNUSED PRODUCT SHOULD BE TESTED TO
DETERMINE HAZARD STATUS AND DISPOSAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER FEDERAL,
STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
=================== MSDS Transport Information ===================
Transport Information:N/P. ECOLOGICAL INFO: CONSIDERING NATURE OF
WELDING PROCESS & SYS BEING EXAMINED; REACTIVE METALS & ALLOYS SUCH
AS ALUMINUM & TITANIUM ARE ARC-WELDED IN PROT, INERT ATM SUCH AS
ARGON. THESE ARCS CREAT E RELATIVELY LITTLE FUME, BUT THEY DO
CREATE AN INTENSE RADIA WHICH CAN PRDCE OZONE. SIMILAR PROCESSES
ARE USED TO ARC-WELD STEELS, ALSO CREATING RELATIVELY LOW LEVEL OF
FUMES. FERROUS ALLOYS ALSO ARE ARC-WELDED IN OXIDIZING
ENVIRONMENTS THAT GENERATE CONSIDERABLE FUME & CAN PRDCE CARBON
MONOXIDE INSTEAD OF OZONE. SUCH FUMES GENERALLY ARE COMPOSED OF
DISCRETE PARTICLES OF AMORPHOUS SLAGS CONTAININ G (SARA REG INFO)
===================== Regulatory Information =====================
SARA Title III Information:N/P. TRANSPORT INFO: IRON, MANGANESE,
SILICON & OTHER METALLIC CONSTITUENTS DEPENDING ON ALLOY SYS
INVOLVED. CHROMIUM & NICKEL CMPDS ARE FOUND IN FUMES WHEN STAINLESS
STEELS ARE ARC-WELDED. SOME COATE D & FLUX-CORED ELECTRODES ARE
FORMULATED W/FLUORIDES & FUMES ASSOC W/THEM CAN CNTN SIGNIFICANTLY
MORE FLUORIDES THAN OXIDES. BECAUSE OF ABOVE FACTORS, ARC-WELDING
FUMES FREQUENTLY MUST BE TESTED FOR I NDIVIDUAL CONSTITUENTS THAT
ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT TO DETERMINE WHETHER SPECIFIC TLVS ARE
EXCEEDED. CONCLUSIONS BASED ON INHALABLE CONCS ARE GENERALLY ADEQ
IF NO TOXIC ELEMENTS (STATE REG INFO)
