| SECTION II - COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS | |
GHS HAZARD CLASSIFICATION: NOT CLASSIFIED
LABEL ELEMENTS:
HAZARD SYMBOL AND SIGNAL WORD: NO SYMBOL OR SIGNAL WORD
HAZARD STATEMENT AND PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT: NOT APPLICABLE
OTHER HAZARDS WHICH DO NOT RESULT IN GHS CLASSIFICATION AND OVERVIEW:
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. WEAR APPROVED HEAD, HAND AND BODY PROTECTION,
WHICH HELP TO PREVENT INJURY FROM RADIATION, SPARKS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
WELDING ARC AND SPARKS CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLES OR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
SEE ANSI Z-49.1. THIS WOULD INCLUDE WEARING WELDER'S GLOVES AND A
PROTECTIVE FACE SHIELD AND MAY INCLUDE ARM PROTECTORS, APRON, HATS,
SHOULDER PROTECTION, AS WELL AS DARK SUBSTANTIAL CLOTHING. WELDERS SHOULD
BE TRAINED NOT TO ALLOW ELECTRICALLY LIVE PARTS TO CONTRACT THE SKIN OR
WET CLOTHING AND GLOVES. THE WELDERS SHOULD INSULATE THEMSELVES FROM THE
WORK AND GROUND. ARC RAYS CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN SKIN. READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONARY LABEL ON
THIS PRODUCT AND YOUR EMPLOYER'S SAFETY PRACTICES. SEE SECTION XIII.
AS SHIPPED THESE ARE ODORLESS, SOLID RODS THAT ARE NONFLAMMABLE,
NON-EXPLOSIVE, NON-REACTIVE AND NON -HAZARDOUS AND MAY BE COPPER COATED.
SUBSTANCE:
WELDING FUMES AND GASES CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED SIMPLY. THE COMPOSITION AND
QUANTITY OF THESE FUMES AND GASES ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE METAL BEING
WELDED, THE PROCEDURES FOLLOWED AND THE ELECTRODES USED. FUMES MAY AFFECT
EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AS WELL AS PANCREAS AND LIVER.
WORKERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY OF FUMES AND
GASES TO WHICH THEY MAY BE EXPOSED, ARE INFLUENCED BY:
COATINGS WHICH MAY BE PRESENT ON THE METAL BEING WELDED (SUCH AS PAINT,
PLATING, OR GALVANIZING), THE NUMBER OF WELDERS IN OPERATION AND THE VOLUME
OF THE WORK AREA, THE QUALITY AND AMOUNT OF VENTILATION, THE POSITION OF
THE WELDER'S HEAD WITH RESPECT TO THE FUME PLUME, AS WELL AS THE PRESENCE
OF CONTAMINANTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE (SUCH AS CHLORINATED HYDROCARBON VAPORS
FROM CLEANING AND DEGREASING PROCEDURE). WHEN THE FILLER IS CONSUMED, THE
FUMES AND GAS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS GENERATED ARE DIFFERENT IN PERCENT AND
FORM FROM THE INGREDIENTS LISTED IN SECTION III, THE COMPOSITION OF THESE
FUMES AND GASES ARE THE CONCERNING MATTER AND NOT THE COMPOSITION OF THE
ELECTRODE ITSELF. DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS INCLUDE THOSE ORIGINATING FROM
THE VOLATILIZATION, REACTION, OR OXIDATION OF THE INGREDIENTS SHOWN IN
SECTION III, PLUS THOSE FROM THE BASE METAL, COATING AND THE OTHER FACTORS
NOTED ABOVE.
REASONABLE EXPECTED FUME CONSTITUENTS OF THIS PRODUCT WOULD INCLUDE:
COMPLEX OXIDES OR COMPOUNDS OF IRON, MANGANESE, SILICON, COPPER, ALUMINUM,
TITANIUM, AND ZIRCONIUM. (OTHER COMPLEX OXIDES MAY BE PRESENT WHEN USING
FLUXES).

| SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
CONTACT WITH SKIN, EYES, INGESTION OR INJECTION SHOULD NOT BE A SOURCE
FOR EXPOSURE WITH PROPER PROTECTION.
INGESTION:
AVOID CONTACT WITH METAL FUME OR POWERS WHICH MAY LEAD TO INGESTION
INHALATION:
IF BREATHING HAS STOP OR DIFFICULT MOVE TO FRESH AIR AND AS NEEDED PERFORM
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. CALL MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR PHYSICIAN.
SKIN CONTACT:

TLV:
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE - AN AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION OF A SUBSTANCE, WHICH
REPRESENTS CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH IT IS GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT NEARLY
ALL WORKERS, MAY BE REPEATEDLY EXPOSED WITHOUT ADVERSE EFFECT. THE DURATION

OBSERVED IN SPECIMENS COLLECTED FROM A HEALTHY WORKER WHO HAS BEEN EXPOSED
TO CHEMICALS TO THE SAME EXTENT AS A WORKER WITH INHALATION EXPOSURE TO
THE TLV.
OSHA: U.S. OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION.
PEL:
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT - THIS EXPOSURE VALUE MEANS THE SAME AS A TLV,
EXCEPT THAT IT IS LIMITS GUIDELINE BY OSHA.
EYE PROTECTION:
WEAR A HELMET OR FACE SHIELD WITH A FILTER LENS SHADE NUMBER 12-14 OR
DARKER FOR ARC WELDING. SHIELD OTHER WORKERS BY PROVIDING SCREENS AND
FLASH GOGGLES. USE FACE-SHIELD WITH FILTER LENS OF APPROPRIATE SHADE
NUMBER (PER ANSI Z49.1-1988, "SAFETY IN WELDING AND CUTTING").
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
WEAR APPROVED HEAD, HAND AND BODY PROTECTION, WHICH HELP TO PREVENT INJURY
FROM RADIATION, SPARKS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK. SEE ANSI Z-49.1. THIS WOULD
INCLUDE WEARING WELDER'S GLOVES AND A PROTECTIVE FACE SHIELD AND MAY
INCLUDE ARM PROTECTORS, APRON, HATS, SHOULDER PROTECTION, AS WELL AS DARK
SUBSTANTIAL CLOTHING. WELDERS SHOULD BE TRAINED NOT TO ALLOW ELECTRICALLY
LIVE PARTS TO CONTRACT THE SKIN OR WET CLOTHING AND GLOVES. THE WELDERS
SHOULD INSULATE THEMSELVES FROM THE WORK AND GROUND.
VENTILATION:
USE PLENTY OF VENTILATION AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC, TO KEEP THE
FUMES AND GASES BELOW THE THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE WITHIN THE WORKER'S
BREATHING ZONE AND THE GENERAL WORK AREA. WELDERS SHOULD BE ADVISED TO
KEEP THEIR HEAD OUT OF THE FLAMES.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE RESPIRABLE FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR WHEN WELDING IN A
CONFINED SPACE OR GENERAL WORK AREA WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST AND/OR VENTILATION
DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW THE THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE.
HYGIENE/WORK PRACTICES:
WITH ALL CHEMICALS/MATERIALS, AVOID GETTING THESE PRODUCTS ON YOU OR IN
YOU. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING THESE PRODUCTS. DO NOT EAT OR DRINK WHILE
HANDLING THESE PRODUCTS. USE VENTILATION AND OTHER ENGINEERING CONTROLS
