Important This section covers the materials of which the products manufactured. The fumes and gases produced during normal use of this product are covered in section 10.
The term “Hazardous” in “Hazardous Material” should be interpreted as a term required and defined in OSHA Hazard Communication Standard 29CFR 1910-1200 and it does
not necessarily imply the existence of hazard. The chemicals or compounds reportable by Section 313 of SARA are marked by the symbol #.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES:
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air immediately or administer oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin:
Flush skin with large amounts of water. If irritation develops and persists, get medical attention.
Eye:
Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Obtain medical attention immediately if ingested. Rinse mouth.
Electric Shock:
Disconnect and turn off the power. Use a nonconductive material to pull victim away from contact with live
parts or wires. Immediately contact a physician.

FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES:
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Welding arcs and
sparks can ignite combustible and flammable materials. Use the extinguishing media recommended for the burning material and
fire situation.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media:
Do not use water on molten metal. Large fires may be flooded with water from a
distance.
Specific Hazards Arising From Chemical:
Keep away from heat/spark/open flames/hot surfaces No smoking. Iron
Oxides, Silicon Oxides.
Protective Equipment:
Fire fighters should wear complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Precautions for Safe Handling:
Handle with care to avoid stings or cuts. Wear gloves when handling welding
consumables. Avoid exposure to dust. Do not ingest. Some individuals can develop an allergic reaction to certain materials.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION:
Engineering Controls:
Avoid exposure to welding fumes, radiation, spatter, electric shock, heated materials and dust.
Ensure sufficient ventilation, local exhaust, or both, to keep welding fumes and gases from breathing zone and general area.
Keep work place and protective clothing clean and dry. Train welders to avoid contact with live electrical parts and insulate
conductive parts. Check condition of protective clothing and equipment on a regular basis.
Exposure limits:
Use industrial hygiene equipment to ensure that exposure does not exceed applicable national exposure
limits. The limits defined under section 3 can be used as guidance. Unless noted, all values are for 8 hour time weighted
average. For information about welding fume analysis refer to section 10.
Biological limits:
No available data
Personal protection:
Respiratory protection:
Use an air purifying dust respirator when welding or brazing in a confined space, or when local
exhaust or ventilation is not sufficient to keep exposure values within safe limits
