APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
VENTILATION:
USE ENOUGH VENTILATION AND LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC, FLAME OR HEAT SOURCE
TO KEEP THE FUMES AND GASES FROM THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE AND THE
GENERAL AREA. TRAIN THE OPERATOR TO KEEP THEIR HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES.
KEEP EXPOSURE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION MEASURES, SUCH AS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
GENERAL INFORMATION:
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR OVEREXPOSURE, USE CONTROLS SUCH AS ADEQUATE
VENTILATION AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE). OVEREXPOSURE REFERS TO
EXCEEDING APPLICABLE LOCAL LIMITS, THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS (ACGIH) THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES (TLVS) OR THE
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION'S (OSHA) PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE
LIMITS (PELS). WORKPLACE EXPOSURE LEVELS SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED BY COMPETENT
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE ASSESSMENTS. UNLESS EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE CONFIRMED TO BE
BELOW THE APPLICABLE LOCAL LIMIT, TLV OR PEL, WHICHEVER IS LOWER,
RESPIRATOR USE IS REQUIRED. ABSENT THESE CONTROLS, OVEREXPOSURE TO ONE OR
MORE COMPOUND CONSTITUENTS, INCLUDING THOSE IN THE FUME OR AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, MAY OCCUR RESULTING IN POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS. ACCORDING TO
THE ACGIH, TLVS AND BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEIS) "REPRESENT
CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH ACGIH BELIEVES THAT NEARLY ALL WORKERS MAY BE
REPEATEDLY EXPOSED WITHOUT ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS." THE ACGIH FURTHER
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 CONSTITUENTS WHICH
HAVE SOME POTENTIAL TO PRESENT HEALTH HAZARDS. WELDING CONSUMABLES AND
MATERIALS BEING JOINED MAY CONTAIN CHROMIUM AS AN UNINTENDED TRACE ELEMENT.
MATERIALS THAT CONTAIN CHROMIUM MAY PRODUCE SOME AMOUNT OF HEXAVALENT
CHROMIUM (CrVI) AND OTHER CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS AS A BYPRODUCT IN THE FUME. IN
2018, THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS (ACGIH)
LOWERED THE THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV) FOR HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM FROM 50
MICROGRAMS PER CUBIC METER OF AIR (50 (MICRO)G/M3) TO 0.2 (MICRO)G/M3. AT
THESE NEW LIMITS, CrVI EXPOSURES AT OR ABOVE THE TLV MAY BE POSSIBLE IN
CASES WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS NOT PROVIDED. CrVI COMPOUNDS ARE ON THE
IARC AND NTP LISTS AS POSING A LUNG CANCER AND SINUS CANCER RISK. WORKPLACE
CONDITIONS ARE UNIQUE AND WELDING FUME EXPOSURES LEVELS VARY. WORKPLACE
EXPOSURE ASSESSMENTS MUST BE CONDUCTED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL, SUCH AS
AN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST, TO DETERMINE IF EXPOSURES ARE BELOW APPLICABLE
LIMITS AND TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN NECESSARY FOR PREVENTING
VEREXPOSURES. GOOD GENERAL VENTILATION (TYPICALLY 10 AIR CHANGES PER HOUR)
SHOULD BE USED. VENTILATION RATES SHOULD BE MATCHED TO CONDITIONS. IF
APPLICABLE, USE PROCESS ENCLOSURES, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION, OR OTHER
ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO MAINTAIN AIRBORNE LEVELS BELOW RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE
LIMITS. IF EXPOSURE LIMITS HAVE NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED, MAINTAIN AIRBORNE
LEVELS TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. AN EYE WASH AND SAFETY SHOWER MUST BE
AVAILABLE IN THE IMMEDIATE WORK AREA.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
WEAR HELMET, FACE SHIELD OR EYE PROTECTION WITH FILTER LENS SHADE NUMBER 2
FOR TORCH SOLDERING AND 3-4 FOR TORCH BRAZING, AND FOLLOW THE
RECOMMENDATIONS AS SPECIFIED IN ANSI Z49.1, SECTION 4, BASED ON YOUR
PROCESS DETAILS. SHIELD OTHERS BY PROVIDING APPROPRIATE SCREENS AND EYE
PROTECTION. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS (OR 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, OPEN FLAMES, HOT SURFACES, SPARKS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK. SEE
Z49.1. AT A MINIMUM, THIS INCLUDES WELDER'S GLOVES AND A PROTECTIVE FACE
SHIELD WHEN WELDING, AND MAY INCLUDE ARM PROTECTORS, APRONS, HATS, SHOULDER
PROTECTION, AS WELL AS DARK SUBSTANTIAL CLOTHING WHEN WELDING, BRAZING AND
SOLDERING. WEAR DRY GLOVES FREE OF HOLES OR SPLIT SEAMS. TRAIN THE OPERATOR
NOT TO PERMIT ELECTRICALLY LIVE PARTS OR ELECTRODES FROM CONTACTING THE
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. WEAR CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES, FOOTWEAR, AND PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING APPROPRIATE FOR THE RISK OF EXPOSURE. CONTACT HEALTH AND SAFETY
PROFESSIONAL OR MANUFACTURER FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
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. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. AVOID CONTACT WITH
SKIN. OBSERVE GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICES. WASH HANDS BEFORE BREAKS
AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER HANDLING THE PRODUCT. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING. DO
NOT HANDLE UNTIL ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.

METAL. HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS MAY BE IN THE WELDING OR BRAZING FUME
OF CONSUMABLES OR BASE METALS WHICH CONTAIN CHROMIUM. GASEOUS AND
PARTICULATE FLUORIDE MAY BE IN THE FUME OF CONSUMABLES OR FLUX MATERIALS
WHICH CONTAIN FLUORIDE. GASEOUS REACTION PRODUCTS MAY INCLUDE CARBON
MONOXIDE AND CARBON DIOXIDE. OZONE AND NITROGEN OXIDES MAY BE FORMED BY THE
RADIATION FROM THE ARC ASSOCIATED WITH WELDING.
| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
GENERAL INFORMATION:
THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAS DETERMINED
WELDING FUMES AND ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION FROM WELDING ARE CARCINOGENIC TO
HUMANS (GROUP 1). ACCORDING TO IARC, WELDING FUMES CAUSE CANCER OF THE LUNG
AND POSITIVE ASSOCIATIONS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED WITH CANCER OF THE KIDNEY.
ALSO ACCORDING TO IARC, ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION FROM WELDING CAUSES OCULAR
MELANOMA. IARC IDENTIFIES GOUGING, BRAZING, CARBON ARC OR PLASMA ARC
CUTTING, AND SOLDERING AS PROCESSES CLOSELY RELATED TO WELDING. READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY DATA SHEETS AND THE
PRECAUTIONARY LABELS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
INFORMATION ON LIKELY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
INHALATION:
INHALATION IS THE PRIMARY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE. IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS, DUST,
VAPORS, FUMES OR MISTS MAY IRRITATE NOSE, THROAT AND MUCUS MEMBRANES.
SKIN CONTACT: TOXIC IN CONTACT WITH SKIN.
EYE CONTACT:
HEAT RAYS (INFRARED RADIATION) FROM FLAME OR HOT METAL CAN INJURE EYES.
INGESTION:
AVOID INGESTION - WEAR GLOVES AND OTHER APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTION -
WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY FOLLOWING USE OR HANDLING. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
SYMPTOMS RELATED TO THE PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND TOXICOLOGICAL
CHARACTERISTICS:
INHALATION:
SHORT-TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE TO FUMES AND GASES FROM BRAZING AND
SOLDERING 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 FUMES AND GASES FROM BRAZING AND SOLDERING CAN
LEAD TO SIDEROSIS (IRON DEPOSITS IN LUNG), CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS,
BRONCHITIS AND OTHER PULMONARY EFFECTS. PRODUCTS WHICH CONTAIN LEAD OR
CADMIUM HAVE ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC HEALTH HAZARDS - REFER TO SECTIONS 2, 8
AND 11 OF THIS SDS. DEPENDING ON SPECIFIC PRODUCT COMPOSITION, SOME
PRODUCTS MAY PRODUCE HAZARDOUS CONCENTRATIONS OF AIRBORNE OXIDES OF
CADMIUM, LEAD, ZINC OR FLUORIDE COMPOUNDS. USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION DURING USE. AVOID BREATHING FUMES. AVOID
INGESTION - WEAR GLOVES AND OTHER APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTION - WASH
HANDS THOROUGHLY FOLLOWING USE OR HANDLING. INHALATION OF FUMES MAY CAUSE
UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION AND SYSTEMIC POISONING WITH EARLY
SYMPTOMS INCLUDING HEADACHE, COUGHING, AND A METALLIC TASTE AS WELL AS
METAL FUME FEVER. CHRONIC CADMIUM EXPOSURE CAUSES LUNG AND KIDNEY DAMAGE.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO LEAD CAUSES DAMAGE TO LUNGS, LIVER, KIDNEY, NERVOUS
SYSTEM AS WELL AS BLOOD AND MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS. EXPOSURES TO HIGH
LEVELS OF CADMIUM OR LEAD DUST OR FUME MAY BE IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE
OR HEALTH AND CAN CAUSE DELAYED PNEUMONITIS WITH FEVER AND CHEST PAIN, AND
