WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PRACTICES:
AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO DUSTS AND FIBERS
REMOVE FIBERS FROM SKIN AFTER EXPOSURE
BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUB OR SCRATCH IRRITATED AREAS. RUBBING OR SCRATCHING MAY
FORCE THE FIBERS INTO THE SKIN. THE FIBERS SHOULD BE WASHED OFF. USE OF
BARRIER CREAMS CAN, IN SOME INSTANCES, BE HELPFUL.
USE VACUUM EQUIPMENT TO REMOVE FIBERS AND DUSTS FROM CLOTHING. COMPRESSED
AIR SHOULD NEVER BE USED. ALWAYS WASH WORK CLOTHES SEPARATELY AND WIPE OUT
THE WASHER/SINK IN ORDER TO PREVENT LOOSE GLASS FIBERS FROM GETTING ON
OTHER CLOTHES.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN OF ANY DUSTS AND FIBERS GENERATED DURING
FABRICATION. USE VACUUM EQUIPMENT TO CLEAN UP DUSTS AND FIBERS. AVOID
SWEEPING OR USING COMPRESSED AIR AS THESE TECHNIQUES RESUSPEND DUSTS
AND FIBERS INTO THE AIR.
HAVE ACCESS TO SAFETY SHOWERS AND EYE WASH FOUNTAINS.
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN'S REACH.

PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: INHALATION AND SKIN CONTACT.
HEALTH HAZARDS (INCLUDING ACUTE AND CHRONIC EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF
OVEREXPOSURE):
ACUTE:
NOTE:
STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCTS IN THEIR USUAL PHYSICAL STATE DO NOT POSE ANY
HEALTH HAZARDS. HOWEVER, WHEN SUBJECTED TO WELDING, BURNING, GRINDING,
CUTTING, ABRASIVE BLASTING, HEAT TREATMENT, PICKLING, OR SIMILAR
OPERATIONS, POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FUMES OR DUSTS MAY BE EMITTED. DESPITE
THE FACT THAT WELDING, BURNING, ETC. OF STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCTS IN THIS
CATEGORY MAY PRODUCE FUMES CONTAINING MANGANESE, CHROMIUM, NICKEL AND
COPPER, THE AIR CONCENTRATIONS GENERATED OF THESE COMPONENTS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE EXTREMELY LOW.
IRON (Fe):
SUBJECTING IRON AND ALLOYS CONTAINING IRON TO HIGH TEMPERATURES (SUCH AS
WELDING) WILL CAUSE THE FORMATION OF IRON OXIDE. LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO IRON
OXIDE FUMES OR DUSTS HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH A BENIGN LUNG CONDITION KNOWN
AS SIDEROSIS, WHICH IS OBSERVABLE AS AN X-RAY CHANGE. NO PHYSICAL
IMPAIRMENT OF LUNG FUNCTION HAS BEEN LINKED TO SIDEROSIS.
MANGANESE (Mn):
Mn INTOXICATION IS USUALLY DUE TO THE OXIDE OR SALTS OF Mn; ELEMENTAL Mn
EXHIBITS VERY LOW TOXICITY. THE DUSTS AND FUMES CAN ACT AS MINOR IRRITANTS
TO THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. BOTH ACUTE AND CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS), BUT SYMPTOMS ARE MORE
LIKELY OCCUR AFTER AT LEAST ONE OR TWO YEARS OF PROLONGED OR REPEATED
EXPOSURES. EARLY SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE WEAKNESS IN THE LOWER EXTREMITIES,
SLEEPINESS, SALIVATION, NERVOUSNESS AND APATHY. IN MORE ADVANCED STAGES,
SEVERE MUSCULAR INCOORDINATION, IMPAIRED SPEECH, SPASTIC WALKING, MASK-LIKE
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHING MAY OCCUR. MANGANESE FUMES
HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTED TO RESULT IN METAL FUME FEVER, A FLU-LIKE SYNDROME
WITH SYMPTOMS SUCH AS DIZZINESS, CHILLS, FEVER, HEADACHE AND NAUSEA. AN
INCREASED INCIDENCE OF PNEUMONIA, BRONCHITIS AND PNEUMONITIS HAS BEEN
REPORTED IN SOME WORKER POPULATIONS EXPOSED TO MANGANESE. ANIMAL STUDIES
INDICATE EXPOSURE MAY INCREASE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO BACTERIAL AND VIRAL
INFECTION.
CHROMIUM (Cr):
THE TOXICITY AND HEALTH HAZARDS OF CHROMIUM ARE HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON ITS
OXIDATION STATE. THE ELEMENTAL (AS IN THE METALS), DIVALENT AND TRIVALENT
FORMS ARE OF VERY LOW TOXICITY. THE HEXAVALE NT FORM (SUCH AS OCCURS IN
CHROMATES AND CHROMIC ACIDS) IS VERY TOXIC AND CAN PRODUCE BOTH ACUTE AND
CHRONIC EFFECTS. ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE SKIN MAY INCLUDE ULCERATIONS,
IRRITATIVE DERMATITIS AND ALLERGIC SKIN REACTIONS. ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM MAY INCLUDE BRONCHOSPASMS, EDEMA, HYPERSECRETION,
BRONCHITIS, IRRITATION, ALLERGIC ASTHMATIC REACTIONS, AND, ULCERATION AND
PERFORATION OF THE NASAL SEPTUM. RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE COUGHING
AND WHEEZING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND NASAL ITCH. EYE IRRITATION OR
INFLAMMATION CAN ALSO BE PRODUCED. EXPOSURE TO SOME HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM
COMPOUNDS HAS ALSO BEEN SHOWN TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASED RISK OF
LUNG CANCER.
NICKEL (Ni):
Ni FUMES AND DUST ARE RESPIRATORY IRRITANTS AND MAY CAUSE SEVERE
PNEUMONITIS. SKIN CONTACT WITH NICKEL AND ITS COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE AN
ALLERGIC DERMATITIS. THE RESULTING SKIN RASH IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS
"NICKEL ITCH". Ni AND ITS COMPOUNDS MAY ALSO PRODUCE EYE IRRITATION,
PARTICULARLY ON THE INNER SURFACES OF THE EYELIDS (I.E. THE CONJUNCTIVA).
ANIMAL AND/OR EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES HAVE LINKED NICKEL AND CERTAIN NICKEL
COMPOUNDS TO AN INCREASED INCIDENCE OF CANCER OF THE LUNGS AND NASAL
PASSAGES.
COPPER (Cu):
INHALATION OF COPPER FUME MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES AND THROAT AND A
FLU-LIKE ILLNESS CALLED METAL FUME FEVER. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF METAL FUME
FEVER INCLUDE FEVER, MUSCLE ACHES, NAUSEA, CHILLS, DRY THROAT, COUGH AND
WEAKNESS. Cu FUME MAY ALSO PRODUCE A METALLIC OR SWEET TASTE. REPEATED OR
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO CU FUME MAY CAUSE DISCOLORATION OF THE SKIN OR HAIR.
ALUMINUM (Al):
THERE ARE NO REPORTED KNOWN HEALTH EFFECTS. ALUMINUM IS GENERALLY
CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE NUISANCE DUST CATEGORY.
SILICON (Si):
SILICON MAY PRODUCE X-RAY CHANGES IN THE LUNGS. THERE HAS BEEN NO KNOWN
DISABILITY REPORTED FROM THE X-RAY CHANGES.
TUNGSTEN (W):
THERE HAS BEEN SOME REPORTED EVIDENCE OF PULMONARY INVOLVEMENT SUCH AS A
COUGH.
MOLYBDENUM (Mo):
MOLYBDENUM HAS CAUSED, IN ANIMAL STUDIES, IRRITATION OF THE NOSE AND
THROAT, WEIGHT LOSS AND DIGESTIVE DISTURBANCES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO
REPORTS OF INDUSTRIAL POISONING.
COBALT (Co):
COBALT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CAUSE ASTHMA. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE INTERSTITIAL
PNEUMONITIS AND SENSITIZATION OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
CHRONIC:
SEE CARCINOGENICITY SECTION BELOW. CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO CHROMIUM
(Cr)/ NICKEL (Ni)/MANGANESE (Mn) FUMES OR DUST MAY CAUSE SKIN
SENSITIZATION, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, LUNG FIBROSIS OR PNEUMONIOSIS. IT MAY
ALSO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE KIDNEYS AND LIVER AS WELL AS THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.
CARCINOGENICITY:
HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS LISTED AS CARCINOGEN BY ACGIH IARC NTP OSHA
CHROMIUM (Cr)/ NONE KNOWN
NICKEL (Ni)**
*** DUSTS AND FUMES CONTAINING CHROMIUM (CR) OR NICKEL (NI) SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED CARCINOGENS.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF CHRONIC RESPIRATORY OR SKIN CONDITIONS THAT ARE
AGGRAVATED BY MECHANICAL IRRITANTS MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FOR WORSENING
THEIR CONDITION FROM EXPOSURE DURING USE OF THE PRODUCT.

LIKELY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
INHALATION, SKIN, EYES. PRODUCT AS SHIPPED DOES NOT PRESENT AN INHALATION
HAZARD; HOWEVER SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONS MAY CREATE DUSTS OR FUMES WHICH COULD
BE INHALED.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: FINES/DUSTS MAY IRRITATE SKIN AND EYES.
ACUTE AND CHRONIC EFFECTS:
IRON:
IRRITATING TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, IRON COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE PULMONARY
FIBROSIS IF DUSTS ARE INHALED. INHALATION OF LARGE AMOUNTS MAY CAUSE IRON
PNEUMOCONIOSIS. CHRONIC INHALATION OF FINELY DIVIDED POWDER MAY CAUSE
CHRONIC IRON POISONING AND PATHOLOGICAL DEPOSITION OF IRON IN THE BODY
TISSUE. INGESTION MAY CAUSE VOMITING, DIARRHEA, PINK URINE, BLACK STOOL,
AND LIVER DAMAGE. IRON COMPOUNDS MAY ALSO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE KIDNEYS.
CHROMIUM:
ALTHOUGH MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS,
THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF CHROMIUM METAL, CR(0), IS NOT WELL STUDIED. DUE TO
INSOLUBILITY MOST ELEMENTS IN THEIR METALLIC STATE ARE NOT CONSIDERED TO
BE SERIOUS HEALTH HAZARDS.
NICKEL:
THE MOST COMMON HARMFUL HEALTH EFFECT OF METALLIC NICKEL IN HUMANS IS AN
ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION IN THOSE WHO ARE SENSITIVE TO NICKEL. ALTHOUGH
NICKEL COMPOUNDS ARE KNOWN HUMAN CARCINOGENS, THE EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT
THE RELATIVELY INSOLUBLE METALLIC NICKEL IS LESS LIKELY TO PRESENT A
CARCINOGENIC HAZARD THAN ARE THE NICKEL COMPOUNDS THAT TEND TO RELEASE
PROPORTIONATELY MORE NICKEL ION.
TUNGSTEN: NO DATA
MOLYBDENUM: NO DATA
MANGANESE:
CHRONIC INHALATION EXPOSURE OF HUMANS TO HIGH LEVELS OF MANGANESE MAY

VENTILATION:
GENERAL DILUTION VENTILATION AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD
BE PROVIDED, AS NECESSARY, TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURES BELOW PEL'S OR TLV'S.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION MUST BE PROVIDED AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
A PROPERLY FITTED NIOSH/MHSA APPROVED DISPOSABLE DUST RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE
USED WHEN:
HIGH DUST LEVELS ARE ENCOUNTERED; THE LEVEL OF CHROMIUM/NICKEL/MANGANESE
DUST OR GLASS FIBERS IN THE AIR EXCEEDS THE OSHA PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE
LIMITS; OR IF IRRITATION OCCURS. USE AN AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR IN CONFINED
SPACES. USE INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AIR MONITORING TO INSURE THAT TLV OR PEL
VALUES ARE NOT EXCEEDED. USE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR
COMPANY'S RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM AND OSHA REGULATIONS UNDER 29 CFR
1910.134.
EYE PROTECTION: SAFETY GLASSES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELDS SHOULD BE WORN.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
WEAR LOOSE FITTING, LONG SLEEVED SHIRT THAT COVERS TO THE BASE OF THE NECK,
AND LONG PANTS. WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING PRODUCT.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES:
HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PRACTICES:
AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO DUSTS AND FIBERS
REMOVE FIBERS FROM SKIN AFTER EXPOSURE
BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUB OR SCRATCH IRRITATED AREAS. RUBBING OR SCRATCHING MAY
FORCE THE FIBERS INTO THE SKIN. THE FIBERS SHOULD BE WASHED OFF. USE OF
BARRIER CREAMS CAN, IN SOME INSTANCES, BE HELPFUL.
USE VACUUM EQUIPMENT TO REMOVE FIBERS AND DUSTS FROM CLOTHING. COMPRESSED
AIR SHOULD NEVER BE USED. ALWAYS WASH WORK CLOTHES SEPARATELY AND WIPE OUT
THE WASHER/SINK IN ORDER TO PREVENT LOOSE GLASS FIBERS FROM GETTING ON
OTHER CLOTHES.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN OF ANY DUSTS AND FIBERS GENERATED DURING
FABRICATION. USE VACUUM EQUIPMENT TO CLEAN UP DUSTS AND FIBERS. AVOID
SWEEPING OR USING COMPRESSED AIR AS THESE TECHNIQUES RESUSPEND DUSTS
AND FIBERS INTO THE AIR.
HAVE ACCESS TO SAFETY SHOWERS AND EYE WASH FOUNTAINS.
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN'S REACH.

HEALTH HAZARDS (INCLUDING ACUTE AND CHRONIC EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF
OVEREXPOSURE):
ACUTE:
NOTE:
STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCTS IN THEIR USUAL PHYSICAL STATE DO NOT POSE ANY
HEALTH HAZARDS. HOWEVER, WHEN SUBJECTED TO WELDING, BURNING, GRINDING,
CUTTING, ABRASIVE BLASTING, HEAT TREATMENT, PICKLING, OR SIMILAR
OPERATIONS, POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FUMES OR DUSTS MAY BE EMITTED. DESPITE
THE FACT THAT WELDING, BURNING, ETC. OF STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCTS IN THIS
CATEGORY MAY PRODUCE FUMES CONTAINING MANGANESE, CHROMIUM, NICKEL AND
COPPER, THE AIR CONCENTRATIONS GENERATED OF THESE COMPONENTS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE EXTREMELY LOW.
IRON (Fe):
SUBJECTING IRON AND ALLOYS CONTAINING IRON TO HIGH TEMPERATURES (SUCH AS
WELDING) WILL CAUSE THE FORMATION OF IRON OXIDE. LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO IRON
OXIDE FUMES OR DUSTS HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH A BENIGN LUNG CONDITION KNOWN
AS SIDEROSIS, WHICH IS OBSERVABLE AS AN X-RAY CHANGE. NO PHYSICAL
IMPAIRMENT OF LUNG FUNCTION HAS BEEN LINKED TO SIDEROSIS.
MANGANESE (Mn):
Mn INTOXICATION IS USUALLY DUE TO THE OXIDE OR SALTS OF Mn; ELEMENTAL Mn
EXHIBITS VERY LOW TOXICITY. THE DUSTS AND FUMES CAN ACT AS MINOR IRRITANTS
TO THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. BOTH ACUTE AND CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS), BUT SYMPTOMS ARE MORE
LIKELY OCCUR AFTER AT LEAST ONE OR TWO YEARS OF PROLONGED OR REPEATED
EXPOSURES. EARLY SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE WEAKNESS IN THE LOWER EXTREMITIES,
SLEEPINESS, SALIVATION, NERVOUSNESS AND APATHY. IN MORE ADVANCED STAGES,
SEVERE MUSCULAR INCOORDINATION, IMPAIRED SPEECH, SPASTIC WALKING, MASK-LIKE
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHING MAY OCCUR. MANGANESE FUMES
HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTED TO RESULT IN METAL FUME FEVER, A FLU-LIKE SYNDROME
WITH SYMPTOMS SUCH AS DIZZINESS, CHILLS, FEVER, HEADACHE AND NAUSEA. AN
INCREASED INCIDENCE OF PNEUMONIA, BRONCHITIS AND PNEUMONITIS HAS BEEN
REPORTED IN SOME WORKER POPULATIONS EXPOSED TO MANGANESE. ANIMAL STUDIES
INDICATE EXPOSURE MAY INCREASE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO BACTERIAL AND VIRAL
INFECTION.
CHROMIUM (Cr):
THE TOXICITY AND HEALTH HAZARDS OF CHROMIUM ARE HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON ITS
OXIDATION STATE. THE ELEMENTAL (AS IN THE METALS), DIVALENT AND TRIVALENT
FORMS ARE OF VERY LOW TOXICITY. THE HEXAVALE NT FORM (SUCH AS OCCURS IN
CHROMATES AND CHROMIC ACIDS) IS VERY TOXIC AND CAN PRODUCE BOTH ACUTE AND
CHRONIC EFFECTS. ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE SKIN MAY INCLUDE ULCERATIONS,
IRRITATIVE DERMATITIS AND ALLERGIC SKIN REACTIONS. ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM MAY INCLUDE BRONCHOSPASMS, EDEMA, HYPERSECRETION,
BRONCHITIS, IRRITATION, ALLERGIC ASTHMATIC REACTIONS, AND, ULCERATION AND
PERFORATION OF THE NASAL SEPTUM. RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE COUGHING
AND WHEEZING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND NASAL ITCH. EYE IRRITATION OR
INFLAMMATION CAN ALSO BE PRODUCED. EXPOSURE TO SOME HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM
COMPOUNDS HAS ALSO BEEN SHOWN TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASED RISK OF
LUNG CANCER.
NICKEL (Ni):
Ni FUMES AND DUST ARE RESPIRATORY IRRITANTS AND MAY CAUSE SEVERE
PNEUMONITIS. SKIN CONTACT WITH NICKEL AND ITS COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE AN
ALLERGIC DERMATITIS. THE RESULTING SKIN RASH IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS
"NICKEL ITCH". Ni AND ITS COMPOUNDS MAY ALSO PRODUCE EYE IRRITATION,
PARTICULARLY ON THE INNER SURFACES OF THE EYELIDS (I.E. THE CONJUNCTIVA).
ANIMAL AND/OR EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES HAVE LINKED NICKEL AND CERTAIN NICKEL
COMPOUNDS TO AN INCREASED INCIDENCE OF CANCER OF THE LUNGS AND NASAL
PASSAGES.
COPPER (Cu):
INHALATION OF COPPER FUME MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES AND THROAT AND A
FLU-LIKE ILLNESS CALLED METAL FUME FEVER. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF METAL FUME
FEVER INCLUDE FEVER, MUSCLE ACHES, NAUSEA, CHILLS, DRY THROAT, COUGH AND
WEAKNESS. Cu FUME MAY ALSO PRODUCE A METALLIC OR SWEET TASTE. REPEATED OR
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO CU FUME MAY CAUSE DISCOLORATION OF THE SKIN OR HAIR.
ALUMINUM (Al):
THERE ARE NO REPORTED KNOWN HEALTH EFFECTS. ALUMINUM IS GENERALLY
CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE NUISANCE DUST CATEGORY.
SILICON (Si):
SILICON MAY PRODUCE X-RAY CHANGES IN THE LUNGS. THERE HAS BEEN NO KNOWN
DISABILITY REPORTED FROM THE X-RAY CHANGES.
TUNGSTEN (W):
THERE HAS BEEN SOME REPORTED EVIDENCE OF PULMONARY INVOLVEMENT SUCH AS A
COUGH.
MOLYBDENUM (Mo):
MOLYBDENUM HAS CAUSED, IN ANIMAL STUDIES, IRRITATION OF THE NOSE AND
THROAT, WEIGHT LOSS AND DIGESTIVE DISTURBANCES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS
OF INDUSTRIAL POISONING.
COBALT (Co):
COBALT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CAUSE ASTHMA. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE INTERSTITIAL
PNEUMONITIS AND SENSITIZATION OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
CHRONIC:
SEE CARCINOGENICITY SECTION BELOW. CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO CHROMIUM
(Cr)/ NICKEL (Ni)/MANGANESE (Mn) FUMES OR DUST MAY CAUSE SKIN
SENSITIZATION, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, LUNG FIBROSIS OR PNEUMONIOSIS. IT MAY
ALSO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE KIDNEYS AND LIVER AS WELL AS THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.
CARCINOGENICITY:
HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS LISTED AS CARCINOGEN BY ACGIH IARC NTP OSHA
CHROMIUM (Cr)/ NONE KNOWN
NICKEL (Ni)**
*** DUSTS AND FUMES CONTAINING CHROMIUM (CR) OR NICKEL (NI) SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED CARCINOGENS.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF CHRONIC RESPIRATORY OR SKIN CONDITIONS THAT ARE
AGGRAVATED BY MECHANICAL IRRITANTS MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FOR WORSENING
THEIR CONDITION FROM EXPOSURE DURING USE OF THE PRODUCT.
