EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
THESE PRODUCTS CONSIST OF ODORLESS, METALLIC, COPPER-COLORED WIRES AND RODS
IN A VARIETY OF DIAMETERS WHICH MAY HAVE A FLUX COATING. THERE IS NO
IMMEDIATE HEALTH HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH THE WIRE PRODUCTS. THESE PRODUCTS
ARE NOT REACTIVE UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF USE. THOUGH THE PRODUCTS ARE
NOT FLAMMABLE, WHEN HEATED THEY WILL PRODUCE FUMES CONTAINING A VARIETY OF
COPPER AND SILVER COMPOUNDS. EMERGENCY RESPONDERS MUST WEAR PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SUITABLE FOR THE SITUATION TO WHICH THEY ARE
RESPONDING.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE:
DURING BRAZING OPERATIONS, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ROUTE OF OVEREXPOSURE IS
VIA INHALATION OF FUMES.
INHALATION:
EXPOSURE TO FUMES OF THESE PRODUCTS WILL IRRITATE THE NOSE, THROAT AND
OTHER TISSUES OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. OVEREXPOSURE TO COPPER FUMES MAY
PRODUCE METAL FUME FEVER. SYMPTOMS OF METAL FUME FEVER RESEMBLE THE FLU AND
INCLUDE SWEATING, FEVER, HEADACHE, CHILLS, MUSCLE ACHES, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
WEAKNESS, AND TIREDNESS. IF DUSTS OR PARTICULATES GENERATED BY THE
FLUX COATING ON THE FLUX COATED PRODUCTS ARE INHALED, THEY WILL IRRITATE
THE NOSE, THROAT, AND LUNGS. DUSTS AND PARTICULATES OF THE FLUX COATING ON
THE FLUX COATED PRODUCTS MAY DESTROY MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND MAY CAUSE
PNEUMONITIS.
CONTACT WITH SKIN OR EYES:
CONTACT WITH THE WIRE OR ROD FORMS OF THESE PRODUCTS IS NOT ANTICIPATED TO
BE IRRITATING. CONTACT WITH THE WIRE FORM CAN BE PHYSICALLY DAMAGING TO THE
EYE. FUMES GENERATED DURING BRAZING OR WELDING OPERATIONS CAN IRRITATE THE
SKIN AND EYES. SYMPTOMS OF SKIN OVEREXPOSURE MAY INCLUDE IRRITATION AND
REDNESS; PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN OVEREXPOSURES MAY LEAD TO DERMATITIS.
CONTACT WITH THE MOLTEN MATERIAL WILL BURN CONTAMINATED SKIN OR EYES. EYE
CONTACT WITH DUSTS OR PARTICULATES GENERATED BY THE FLUX COATING ON THE
FLUX COATED PRODUCTS WILL CAUSE IRRITATION, PAIN, TEARING, AND REDDENING.
BRIEF CONTACT MAY CAUSE EYE DAMAGE AND PROLONGED CONTACT MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT DAMAGE. DEPENDING ON THE DURATION OF OVER-EXPOSURE, SKIN CONTACT
WITH DUSTS OR PARTICULATES GENERATED BY THE FLUX COATING ON THE FLUX COATED
PRODUCTS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION AND BURNS. CHRONIC OVER-EXPOSURE TO DUSTS OR
PARTICULATES GENERATED BY THE FLUX COATING ON THE FLUX COATED PRODUCTS MAY
CAUSE BORISM (DRY SKIN, ERUPTIONS, AND GASTROINTESTINAL DISTURBANCES) OR
PUSTULAR DERMATITIS (VISIBLE COLLECTIONS OF PUS).

SKIN ABSORPTION:
SKIN ABSORPTION IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT ROUTE OF OVEREXPOSURE FOR ANY
COMPONENT OF THESE BARE PRODUCTS. IN SOME SITUATIONS, ONE OF THE
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS OF THE FLUX COATING MAY BE HYDROGEN FLUORIDE.
HYDROGEN FLUORIDE CAN PENETRATE THE SKIN AND PRODUCE BURNS THAT MAY NOT BE
IMMEDIATELY PAINFUL OR VISIBLE; THE BURNS IMPACT THE LOWER LAYERS OF SKIN
AND BONE TISSUE. HYDROGEN FLUORIDE EXPOSURES INVOLVING 20 PERCENT OF THE
BODY OR MORE CAN BE FATAL THROUGH SYSTEMIC FLUORIDE POISONING.
INGESTION:
INGESTION OF THE RODS IS NOT A LIKELY ROUTE OF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE.
INJECTION:
THOUGH NOT A LIKELY ROUTE OF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE FOR THESE PRODUCTS,
INJECTION (VIA PUNCTURES OR LACERATIONS IN THE SKIN) MAY CAUSE LOCAL
REDDENING, TISSUE SWELLING, AND DISCOMFORT.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE:
AN EXPLANATION IN LAY TERMS. SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH OVEREXPOSURE TO THESE
PRODUCTS AND THE FUMES GENERATED DURING BRAZING OPERATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
ACUTE:
THE CHIEF HEALTH HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH THESE PRODUCTS WOULD BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR OVEREXPOSURE TO FUMES DURING BRAZING OPERATIONS. OVEREXPOSURE
TO COPPER FUMES MAY PRODUCE METAL FUME FEVER. CONTACT WITH THE MOLTEN
MATERIAL WILL BURN CONTAMINATED SKIN OR EYES. DEPENDING ON THE DURATION OF
OVER-EXPOSURE, DUSTS OR PARTICULATES GENERATED BY THE FLUX COATING ON THE
FLUX COATED PRODUCTS MAY BE IRRITATING OR DAMAGING TO THE ENTIRE
RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYES, AND SKIN. IN SOME SITUATIONS, ONE OF THE FLUX
COATING'S DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS MAY BE HYDROGEN FLUORIDE. HYDROGEN
FLUORIDE CAN PENETRATE THE SKIN AND PRODUCE BURNS THAT MAY NOT BE
IMMEDIATELY PAINFUL OR VISIBLE; THE BURNS IMPACT THE LOWER LAYERS OF SKIN
AND BONE TISSUE. IF DUSTS OR PARTICULATES GENERATED BY THE FLUX COATING ON
THE FLUX COATED PRODUCTS ARE SWALLOWED, THEY MAY BURN THE MOUTH, THROAT,
ESOPHAGUS, AND OTHER TISSUES OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.
CHRONIC:
CHRONIC SKIN OVEREXPOSURE TO THE FUMES OF THESE PRODUCTS DURING BRAZING
OPERATIONS MAY PRODUCE DERMATITIS (RED, INFLAMED SKIN). CHRONIC SKIN
OVER-EXPOSURE TO DUSTS OR PARTICULATES GENERATED BY THE FLUX COATING ON THE
FLUX COATED PRODUCTS MAY CAUSE BORISM (DRY SKIN, ERUPTIONS, AND
GASTROINTESTINAL DISTURBANCES) OR PUSTULAR DERMATITIS (VISIBLE COLLECTIONS
OF PUS). CHRONIC INGESTION OF THE FLUORIDE COMPONENT OF THE FLUX COATING
MAY CAUSE OSSEOUS FLUOROSIS (INCREASED RADIOGRAPHIC DENSITY OF THE BONES).
SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC INGESTION OF DUSTS OR PARTICULATES GENERATED BY THE
FLUX COATING ON THE FLUX COATED PRODUCTS MAY INCLUDE KIDNEY DAMAGE, ASTHMA,
AND PAIN IN THE JOINTS AND MUSCLES. CHRONIC SKIN CONTACT OR INGESTION OF
DUSTS, SALTS, OR FUMES OF SILVER, (A COMPONENT OF THESE PRODUCTS) CAN
RESULT IN A CONDITION KNOWN AS ARGYRIA. THIS CONDITION IS MARKED BY A
BLUISH APPEARANCE OF THE SKIN AND EYES. REFER TO SECTION 11 (TOXICOLOGICAL
INFORMATION) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
