Section V 鈥? REACTIVITY DATA
Stability - Stable material
1
Conditions to Avoid - None
Materials to Avoid - Combustibles (sparks are generated when rod is lit)
Hazardous Decomposition/Byproducts - Fumes generated during cutting may contain a
variety of hazardous components. Know the target
material (e.g. zinc and lead fumes are toxic). Do not use
on plated or painted parts without maintaining a clean
breathing zone.
Effects of acute exposure to material 鈥? Products of combustion include fumes and gases
containing iron oxide as well as oxides of the material being cut. Fumes can aggravate asthma or
bronchial conditions. Arc rays can burn eyes and skin. Cutting flame produces intense heat and
can burn skin and ignite clothing.
Effects of chronic exposure to material 鈥? Not known.
Carcinogenicity 鈥? Not known.
Section VII - PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Personal Protective Equipment:
Gloves - Welders gloves/Flameproof.
Eyes - Protective face shield with No. 5 or No. 6 lens.
Respiratory - Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide adequate exhaust to assure
clean air within the breathing zone. Keep head out of fumes. When
cutting materials whose oxides are potentially toxic, use special
breathing apparatus.
Other - Wear protective clothing and shoes. See ANSI Z-49.1 鈥淪afety in
Welding and Cutting鈥?.
Engineering Controls - Use with adequate ventilation
Leak and Spill Procedures - N/A
Waste Disposal - Scrap metal can be recycled or land filled as local
regulations allow.
Handling procedures and equipment 鈥? N/A
Storage requirements - Store in low humidity environment. Keep packaging
material until ready to use.
Special shipping information 鈥? N/A
Section VIII - FIRST AID MEASURES
Remove injured person from work area to fresh air. If skin is burned apply burn ointment and
consult a physician. If eyes are burned consult a physician. If respiratory difficulty persists, seek
medical attention. Wash face and hands after use.
