This product is normally not considered hazardous as shipped. Avoid eye contact or inhalation of dust from the product. When this
product is used in a welding process, the most important hazards are welding fumes, heat, radiation and electric shock.
EYE CONTACT :
Particulate bodies may be removed carefully. Do not attempt to remove particles attached to or embedded in eyes. Lay victim down on
stretcher if possible and pad both eyes, make sure dressing does not pres on the injured eye by placing thick pads under dressing, above
and below the eye, consult a physician immediately. For “arc eye” : Place eye pads or light clean dressings over both eyes. Consult a
physician.
SKIN CONTACT :
Wash exposed area with soap and running water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
INHALATION :
If inhaled welding fume or dust, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If breathing is
difficult, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
INGESTION :
It is unlike entry as its form.
Acute effects : Harmless as its form. Danger when used: The welding flash or UV light irritating to the eye and may cause “arc eye”.
Excessive inhalation of welding fume or dust may cause “metal fume fever”. Symptoms may be delayed for up to 12 hours and begin
with the sudden onset of thirst, and a sweet, metallic or foul taste in the mouth. Other symptoms include upper respiratory tract
irritation accompanied by coughing and a dryness of the mucuos membranes, lassitude and generalized feeling of malaise.
Chronic effects : Repeated or prolonged inhalation welding fume may cause damage to lung.
Precautions to Protect the Environment. Collect leaks. Avoid entry into drains or water courses
Precautions for safe handling. Handle with care to avoid stings or cuts. Wear gloves when handling welding consumable. Avoid
exposure to dust. Do not ingest. Some individuals can develop an allergic reaction to certain materials.
Conditions for safe Storage. Store in dry place in closed packages. Keep separate from chemical substances like acids and strong
bases, which could cause chemical reactions

Engineering Control : Avoid exposure to welding fumes, radiation, spatter, electric shock, heated material and dust. Ensure sufficient
ventilation, local exhaust, or both, to keep welding fumes and gases from breathing zone and general area. Keep work place and
protective clothing clean and dry. Train welders to avoid contact with live electrical parts and insulate conductive parts. Check
condition of protective clothing and equipment on a regular basis.
Respiratory protection : Use an air purifying dust respirator when welding or brazing in a confined space, or when local exhaust or
ventilation is not sufficient to keep exposure values within safe limits.
Hand Protection : Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin contact
Eye Protection : Welder's helmet or face shield with colour absorbing lenses. Shield and filter to provide protection from
harmful UV radiation, infra-red and molten metal approved to standart EN379.
Skin Protection : Heat-resistant protective clothing, wear safety boots, apron, arm and shoulder protection
Acute effects : Over-exposure to welding fumes may result in symptoms like metal fume fever, dizziness, nausea, dryness or irritation
of the nose, throat or eyes. Tin : May cause skin irritation. May cause eye irritation due to mechanical action.
Chronic Effect : Over-exposure to welding fumes may affect pulmonary function. Chronic copper poisoning is typified by hepatic
cirrhosis, brain damage and demyelination, kidney defect and copper deposition in the cornea as exemplified by humans with wilson's
disease.
