| 2. HAZARD(S) IDENTIFICATION | |
IMPORTANT:
THIS SECTION COVERS THE MATERIAL FROM WHICH THE PRODUCT IS MANUFACTURED.
THE FUMES AND GASES PRODUCED DURING WELDING WITH THE NORMAL USE OF THIS
PRODUCT ARE COVERED UNDER SECTION V. THORIUM DIOXIDE IS SUBJECT TO THE
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 313 OF TITLE III OF THE SUPERFUND
AMENDMENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 1986(SARA) AND 40 CFR PART 372.
TUNGSTEN WELDING ELECTRODES ARE NON-HAZARDOUS SOLIDS AT AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE. SKIN CONTACT IS NORMALLY NOT HAZARDOUS BUT SHOULD BE AVOIDED
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ALLERGIC REACTION. AVOID EYE CONTACT OR INHALATION OF
DUST OR FUMES FROM THE PRODUCT. ACTUAL EXPOSURE SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY
MONITORING THE FUME IN THE OPERATOR'S BREATHING ZONE.
WHEN THIS PRODUCT IS USED IN A WELDING PROCESS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS
ARE ELECTRIC SHOCK, FUMES, GASES, RADIATION, SPATTER, SLAG AND HEAT.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. ARC RAYS CAN DAMAGE EYES AND BURN SKIN. SPATTER
AND SLAG CAN DAMAGE EYES. SPATTER, SLAG, MELTING METAL, ARC RAYS AND HOT
WELDS CAN CAUSE BURN INJURIES AND START FIRES. WELDING ARCS OR TORCH FLAME
MAY BE A SOURCE OF IGNITION TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
THE PRIMARY ENTRY ROUTE FOR WELDING FUMES AND GASES IS BY INHALATION.
SHORT TERM OVEREXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES MAY RESULT IN SYMPTOMS LIKE
DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, DRYNESS OR IRRITATION OF THE NOSE, THROAT OR EYES AND
MAY AGGRAVATE PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS (E.G. ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA).
LONG TERM OVEREXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES MAY AFFECT PULMONARY FUNCTION.
PROLONGED INHALATION OF NICKEL AND CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS ABOVE SAFE EXPOSURE
LIMITS CAN CAUSE CANCER. OVEREXPOSURE TO MANGANESE AND MANGANESE COMPOUNDS
ABOVE SAFE EXPOSURE LIMITS CAN CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE BRAIN, SYMPTOMS OF WHICH MAY INCLUDE SLURRED
SPEECH, LETHARGY, TREMOR, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS, PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTURBANCES AND
SPASTIC GAIT.
WELDING FUMES AND GASES CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED SIMPLY. THE COMPOSITION AND
QUANTITY OF BOTH ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE METAL BEING WELDED, THE PROCESS,
PROCEDURE AND ELECTRODES USED. OTHER CONDITIONS WHICH ALSO INFLUENCE THE
COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY OF THE FUMES AND GASES TO WHICH WORKERS MAY BE
EXPOSED INCLUDE ; COATINGS ON THE METAL BEING WELDED (SUCH AS PAINT,
PLATING, OR GALVANIZING), THE NUMBER OF WELDERS AND THE VOLUME OF THE WORK
AREA, THE QUALITY AND AMOUNT OF VENTILATION, THE POSITION OF THE WELDERS
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 ACTIVITIES ). WHEN THE ELECTRODE IS CONSUMED, THE
FUME AND GAS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS GENERATED ARE DIFFERENT IN PERCENT AND
FORM FROM THE INGREDIENTS LISTED IN SECTION 3.
MOST FUME INGREDIENTS ARE PRESENT AS COMPLEX OXIDES AND COMPOUNDS AND NOT
AS PURE METALS.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS OF NORMAL OPERATION INCLUDE THOSE ORIGINATING FROM
THE VOLATILIZATION, REACTION, OR OXIDATION OF THE MATERIALS SHOWN IN
SECTION 3, PLUS THOSE FROM THE BASE METAL AND COATING, ETC. AS NOTED ABOVE.
WELDING FUMES MUST BE CONSIDERED AS CARCINOGENS. THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY
FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER HAS CLASSIFIED WELDING FUMES AS POSSIBLY
CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP 2B). HENCE, BEFORE USING WELDING WIRE AND/OR
ELECTRODES READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS, SDSS, AND
YOUR EMPLOYER'S SAFETY PRACTICES. TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS AND USE PROPER
VENTILATION AND ABSORPTION SYSTEM TO REMOVE FUMES AND GASES FROM YOUR
BREATHING ZONE AND THE GENERAL AREA. KEEP YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES. DO
NOT BREATHE GAS AND FUMES. ALWAYS, WEAR CORRECT EYE, EAR, AND BODY
PROTECTION AND DO NOT TOUCH LIVE ELECTRICAL PARTS.

| 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION:
IF DUST OR FUMES ARE INHALED, PROVIDE FRESH AIR AND CALL A PHYSICIAN.
IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AND OBTAIN
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
EYE CONTACT:
FOR RADIATION BURNS DUE TO ARC FLASH, SEE PHYSICIAN. TO REMOVE DUST,
FUMES OR PARTICULATES FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES.
IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
SKIN CONTACT:
THE UNUSED WELDING PRODUCT DOES NOT IRRITATE THE SKIN BUT WEAR GLOVES TO
PREVENT POSSIBLE ALLERGIC REACTIONS. FOR SKIN BURNS FROM ARC RADIATION,
PROMPTLY FLUSH WITH COLD WATER. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR BURNS OR
IRRITATIONS THAT PERSIST. TO REMOVE DUST OR PARTICLES WASH WITH MILD SOAP
AND WATER.
ELECTRIC SHOCK:
DISCONNECT AND TURN OFF THE POWER. USE A NONCONDUCTIVE MATERIAL TO PULL
VICTIM AWAY FROM CONTACT WITH LIVE PARTS OR WIRES. IF NOT BREATHING, BEGIN
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF NO DETECTABLE PULSE,
BEGIN CARDIO PULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR). IMMEDIATELY CALL A PHYSICIAN.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
CARCINOGENICITY:
THORIUM DIOXIDE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A CARCINOGEN BY NTP, IARC AND
OTHERS. EVIDENCE FOR ITS ABILITY TO CAUSE CANCER HAS COME SOLELY FROM ITS
INTERNAL MEDICAL USE.
