Item no.: 1553058
Material Safety Data Sheet
11. Toxicological Information
General:
The major route of exposure is inhalation of fumes generated from high temperature processing. Dust generated by handling
and processing also creates an inhalation and/or ingestion risk.
Toxicity:
Tin:
Acute, short term exposure to tin fumes can cause irritation of the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and respiratory system.
Prolonged or repeated exposure to tin can results in benign pneumoconiosis (stannosis), which causes inflammation of the
lungs, but there is no distinct fibrosis or evidence of disability.
Copper:
Oral TDLo (human) = 120 μg/m3 – gastrointestinal tract effects
Acute, short term exposure to copper fumes can cause irritation of the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and respiratory system.
Severe fume exposure may cause metal fume fever with flu-like symptoms such as sweet metal taste, dry throat, coughing,
fever, tightness in chest, blurred vision, back pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. Symptoms usually disappear in 24 hours.
Copper may cause skin and hair discolouration.
Rosin:
Acute exposure to rosin pyrolisis products (formaldehyde), may cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat.
Acute:
Eye:
Contact with the wire form of this product can be physically damaging to the eye. Contact with the molten core solder will
cause burn to the eyes. Fumes generated during soldering operations can be irritating to the eyes.
Skin:
Contact of the wire form of this product with skin is not anticipated to be irritating. Contact with the molten core solder will burn
contaminated skin. Fumes generated during soldering operations can be irritating to the skin.
Inhalation:
The fumes generated during soldering operations may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion:
Ingestion is not expected to occur in normal use.
12. Ecological Information
This product, a metal alloy, is relatively insoluble (and therefore not readily bioavailable); however, processing of the product or
extended exposure in aquatic and terrestrial environments may lead to the release of tin and copper compounds in more
bioavailable forms.
