Carcinogenicity : Hexavalent Chromium componds (Cr VI), nickel compounds, and crystalline silica are
classified as IARC Group 1 and NTP Group K carcinogens. Titanium dioxide, antimony trioxide,
and cobalt compounds are classified as IARC Group 2B carcinogens.Chromium VI, cobalt compounds,
nickel compounds, and crystalline silica(quartz) and welding fumes must be considered as
carcinogens under OSHA(29CFR 1910.1200).
California Proposition 65 : These products contain or produce chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California Health and Safety Code
Section 25249.5 et.seq.)
Warning : This product, when used for welding or cutting, produces fumes and gases that contain chemicals
known to the State of Calfornia to cause birth defects, and cancer ( California Health and Safety
Code Section 25249.5 et. Seq.)
It should be understood that the welding process releases fume and gases directly to the environment.
The welding materials are susceptible to degradation when left unprotected . Welding consumables as
well as their residues can degrade and accumulate in the soil and ground water.
Prevent waste from contaminating the surrounding environment. Use recycling whenever possible.
Discard any product, packaging, liner, residue, or disposable container in an environmentally acceptable
manner in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.
These products being nonexplosive, nonflammable, nonreactive and nonhazardous in nature until welded,
no special precautions are necessary in transportation. No international regulations or restrictions are
applicable.
Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions, your employer’s safety practices, and precautionary
label on the product. See material safety data sheet and American National Safety Standard Z49.1,
“Safety in welding and cutting” published by the American Welding Socity, P.O.Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135
and OSHA Publication 2206(29 CFR 1910), U.S. Govt. Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Observe all
federal, state, and local rules and regulations. Take all necessary precautions to save yourself and others.
CERCLA/SARA TITLE III Toxic chemicals : The following metallic components are listed as “Toxic
Chemicals” in SARA 313. They are potentially subject to annual SARA 312 reporting as Antimony
compounds, Cobalt, Copper, Lithium carbonate, Manganese and Nickel.
Some of the safety measures that should be looked into deeply
Ventilation : Use enough ventilation to keep fumes and gases below TLVs in workers’ breathing zone.
Worked must be trained to keep his head out of fume.
Respiratory Protection : Use NIOSH approved or equivalent respirator as and when necessary, such as
in confined space.
Eye Protection : Begin with shade number 14 and adjust to lower or higher shades as necessary.
Use protective screens, flas goggles, etc., to protect others.
