COMPOSITION COMMENTS:
THE TERM "HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS" SHOULD BE INTERPRETED AS A TERM DEFINED
IN HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARDS AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY IMPLY THE
EXISTENCE OF A WELDING HAZARD. THE PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN ADDITIONAL
NON-HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS OR MAY FORM ADDITIONAL COMPOUNDS UNDER THE
CONDITION OF USE. REFER TO SECTIONS 2 AND 8 FOR MORE INFORMATION.
| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INGESTION:
UNLIKELY DUE TO FORM OF PRODUCT, EXCEPT FOR GRANULAR MATERIALS. AVOID HAND,
CLOTHING, FOOD, AND DRINK CONTACT WITH METAL FUME OR POWDER WHICH CAN CAUSE
INGESTION OF PARTICULATE DURING HAND TO MOUTH ACTIVITIES SUCH AS DRINKING,
EATING, SMOKING, ETC. IF INGESTED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CONTACT A POISON
CONTROL CENTER. UNLESS THE POISON CONTROL CENTER ADVISES OTHERWISE, WASH
OUT MOUTH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. IF SYMPTOMS DEVELOP, SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION AT ONCE.
INHALATION:
MOVE TO FRESH AIR IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED,
PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AND OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AT ONCE.
SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH THE SKIN THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND
WATER. FOR REDDENED OR BLISTERED SKIN, OR THERMAL BURNS, OBTAIN MEDICAL
ASSISTANCE AT ONCE.
EYE CONTACT:
DUST OR FUME FROM THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE FLUSHED FROM THE EYES WITH COPIOUS
AMOUNTS OF CLEAN, TEPID WATER UNTIL TRANSPORTED TO AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL
FACILITY. DO NOT ALLOW VICTIM TO RUB OR KEEP EYES TIGHTLY CLOSED. OBTAIN
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AT ONCE.
ARC RAYS CAN INJURE EYES. IF EXPOSED TO ARC RAYS, MOVE VICTIM TO DARK ROOM,
REMOVE CONTACT LENSES AS NECESSARY FOR TREATMENT, COVER EYES WITH A PADDED
DRESSING AND REST. OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST.
MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS/EFFECTS, ACUTE AND DELAYED:
SYMPTOMS:
SHORT-TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES MAY RESULT IN DISCOMFORT
SUCH AS METAL FUME FEVER, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, OR DRYNESS OR IRRITATION OF
NOSE, THROAT, OR EYES. MAY AGGRAVATE PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS
(E.G. ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA).
LONG-TERM (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES CAN LEAD TO SIDEROSIS
(IRON DEPOSITS IN LUNG), CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS, BRONCHITIS AND
OTHER PULMONARY EFFECTS. REFER TO SECTION 11 FOR MORE INFORMATION.
HAZARDS:
WELDING HAZARDS ARE COMPLEX AND MAY INCLUDE PHYSICAL AND HEALTH HAZARDS
SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO ELECTRIC SHOCK, PHYSICAL STRAINS, RADIATION
BURNS (EYE FLASH), THERMAL BURNS DUE TO HOT METAL OR SPATTER AND POTENTIAL
HEALTH EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO WELDING FUME OR DUST. REFER TO SECTION 11
FOR MORE INFORMATION.
INDICATION OF IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED:
TREATMENT: TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY.

APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
VENTILATION:
USE ENOUGH VENTILATION, LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC, OR BOTH TO KEEP THE FUMES
AND GASES FROM THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE AND THE GENERAL AREA. TRAIN THE
WELDER TO KEEP HIS HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES. KEEP EXPOSURE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION MEASURES, SUCH AS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
GENERAL INFORMATION:
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES (TLVS) AND BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEIS) ARE
VALUES PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENT INDUSTRIAL
HYGIENISTS (ACGIH). ACGIH STATEMENT OF POSITIONS REGARDING THE TLVS(R*) AND
BEIS(R*) STATES THAT THE TLV-TWA SHOULD BE USED AS A GUIDE IN THE CONTROL
OF HEALTH HAZARDS AND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO INDICATE A FINE LINE BETWEEN
SAFE AND DANGEROUS EXPOSURES. SEE SECTION 10 FOR INFORMATION ON POTENTIAL
FUME CONSTITUENTS OF HEALTH INTEREST. THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES ARE FIGURES
PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENT INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS.
MAXIMUM FUME EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(TM) (MFEG)(TM) FOR THIS PRODUCT (BASED ON
CONTENT OF MANGANESE) IS 0.7 MG/M3. THIS EXPOSURE GUIDELINE IS CALCULATED
USING THE MOST CONSERVATIVE VALUE OF THE ACGIH TLV OR OSHA PEL FOR THE
STATED SUBSTANCE.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
WEAR HELMET OR USE FACE SHIELD WITH FILTER LENS SHADE NUMBER 12 OR DARKER
FOR OPEN ARC PROCESSES. NO SPECIFIC LENS SHADE RECOMMENDATION FOR SUBMERGED
ARC PROCESSES. SHIELD OTHERS BY PROVIDING SCREENS AND FLASH GOGGLES.
SKIN PROTECTION:
HAND PROTECTION:
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES. SUITABLE GLOVES CAN BE RECOMMENDED BY THE GLOVE
SUPPLIER.
OTHER:
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
WEAR HAND, HEAD, AND BODY PROTECTION WHICH HELP TO PREVENT INJURY FROM
RADIATION, SPARKS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK. SEE Z49.1. AT A MINIMUM THIS
INCLUDES WELDER'S GLOVES AND A PROTECTIVE FACE SHIELD, AND MAY INCLUDE ARM
PROTECTORS, APRONS, HATS, SHOULDER PROTECTION, AS WELL AS DARK SUBSTANTIAL
CLOTHING. WEAR DRY GLOVES FREE OF HOLES OR SPLIT SEAMS. TRAIN THE WELDER
NOT TO PERMIT ELECTRICALLY LIVE PARTS OR ELECTRODES TO CONTACT SKIN... OR
CLOTHING OR GLOVES IF THEY ARE WET. INSULATE YOURSELF FROM THE WORK PIECE
AND GROUND USING DRY PLYWOOD, RUBBER MATS OR OTHER DRY INSULATION.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
KEEP YOUR HEAD OUT OF FUMES. USE ENOUGH VENTILATION AND LOCAL EXHAUST TO
KEEP FUMES AND GASES FROM YOUR BREATHING ZONE AND THE GENERAL AREA. AN
APPROVED RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE USED UNLESS EXPOSURE ASSESSMENTS ARE BELOW
APPLICABLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
HYGIENE MEASURES:
DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE WHEN USING THE PRODUCT. ALWAYS OBSERVE GOOD
PERSONAL HYGIENE MEASURES, SUCH AS WASHING AFTER HANDLING THE MATERIAL AND
BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, AND/OR SMOKING. ROUTINELY WASH WORK CLOTHING AND
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO REMOVE CONTAMINANTS.
DETERMINE THE COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY OF FUMES AND GASES TO WHICH WORKERS
ARE EXPOSED BY TAKING AN AIR SAMPLE FROM INSIDE THE WELDER'S HELMET IF WORN
OR IN THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE. IMPROVE VENTILATION IF EXPOSURES ARE NOT
BELOW LIMITS. SEE ANSI/AWS F1.1, F1.2, F1.3 AND F1.5, AVAILABLE FROM THE
AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY, WWW.AWS.ORG.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
WELDING FUMES AND GASES CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED SIMPLY. THE COMPOSITION AND

| 16. OTHER INFORMATION | |
DEFINITIONS:
THE MAXIMUM FUME EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(TM) (MFEG)(TM) IS A GUIDELINE LIMIT FOR
TOTAL WELDING FUME EXPOSURE FOR A SPECIFIC CONSUMABLE PRODUCT WHICH MAY BE
USED BY EMPLOYERS TO MANAGE WORKER EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUME WHERE THAT
PRODUCT IS USED. THE MFEG(TM) IS AN ESTIMATE OF THE LEVEL OF TOTAL WELDING
FUME EXPOSURE FOR A GIVEN PRODUCT ABOVE WHICH THE EXPOSURE LIMIT FOR ONE OF
THE FUME CONSTITUENTS MAY BE EXCEEDED. THE EXPOSURE LIMITS REFERENCED ARE
THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS (ACGIH)
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV(R*)) AND THE U.S. OSHA PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE
LIMIT (PEL) WHICHEVER LIMIT IS LOWER. THE MFEG(TM) NEVER EXCEEDS 5 MG/M3
WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMIT FOR TOTAL WELDING FUME.
THE MFEG(TM) IS INTENDED TO SERVE AS A GENERAL GUIDELINE TO ASSIST IN THE
MANAGEMENT OF WORKPLACE EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUME AND DOES NOT REPLACE THE
REGULAR MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF WORKER EXPOSURE TO INDIVIDUAL WELDING
FUME CONSTITUENTS.
THE MAXIMUM DUST EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(TM) (MDEG)(TM) IS PROVIDED TO ASSIST
WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF WORKPLACE EXPOSURES WHERE GRANULAR SOLID WELDING
PRODUCTS OR OTHER MATERIALS ARE BEING UTILIZED. IT IS DERIVED FROM RELEVANT
COMPOSITIONAL DATA AND ESTIMATES THE LOWEST LEVEL OF TOTAL AIRBORNE DUST
EXPOSURE, FOR A GIVEN PRODUCT, AT WHICH SOME SPECIFIC CONSTITUENT MIGHT
POTENTIALLY EXCEED ITS INDIVIDUAL EXPOSURE LIMIT. THE SPECIFIC EXPOSURE
LIMITS REFERENCED ARE THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL
HYGIENISTS (ACGIH) THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV(R*)) AND THE U. S. OSHA
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (PEL), WHICH EVER VALUE IS THE LOWEST. THE
MDEG(TM) IS NEVER GREATER THAN 10 MG/M3 AS THIS IS THE AIRBORNE EXPOSURE
GUIDELINE FOR TOTAL PARTICULATE (TOTAL DUST). THE MDEG(TM) IS INTENDED TO
SERVE AS A GENERAL GUIDELINE TO ASSIST IN THE MANAGEMENT OF WORKPLACE
EXPOSURE AND DOES NOT REPLACE THE REGULAR MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF
WORKER EXPOSURE TO INDIVIDUAL AIRBORNE DUST CONSTITUENTS.
