Material Safety Data Sheet
7. Handling And Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling:
Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of fumes during soldering operations.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Food, beverages and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this
material is in use. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and
other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in close proximity to
points of potential exposure.
Conditions for Safe Storage:
Store in a dry, well ventilated area. Keep material dry. Prevent dust accumulation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Control Parameters
Exposure Standards (Safe Work Australia)
Tin (metal): TWA: - ppm / 2 mg/m3
STEL: - ppm / - mg/m3
Tin, organic compounds (as Sn): TWA: - ppm / 0.1 mg/m3
STEL: - ppm / 0.2 mg/m3
Copper (fume): TWA: - ppm / 0.2 mg/m3
STEL: - ppm / - mg/m3
Copper, dusts & mists (as Cu): TWA: - ppm / 1 mg/m3
STEL: - ppm / - mg/m3
Engineering Controls:
Adequate mechanical ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Respiratory Protection:
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, use a
Safe Work Australia approved respiratory protection (weld fume respirator or air line respirator). Respiratory protection is
recommended to be worn during welding operations. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 for more information.
Eye/Face Protection:
Safety glasses with top and side shields or goggles. See Australian Standards AS 1336 and AS/NZS 1337 for more
information. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this chemical.
Skin Protection:
Wear gloves that protect from sparks and flame and protective clothing. See Australian Standards AS 2161 and 2919 and
AS/NZS 2210 for more information.
Thermal Hazards:
The molten material can present a significant thermal hazard. Wear safety glasses with top and side shields or goggles and
protective equipment. Keep melting/soldering temperatures as low as possible to minimize generation of fumes.
