This product is normally notconsidered hazardous as shipped. Gloves should be worn when handling to prevent cuts andabrasions.2.1. Classification of the substance or mixture: N.a.2.2. Label elements: N.a.2.3. Other hazards: Skin contact is normally no hazard but should be avoided to preventpossible allergic reactions.Persons with a pacemaker should not go near welding or cutting operations until they haveconsulted their doctor and obtained information from the manufacturer of the device.When this product is used in a welding process, the most important hazards are weldingfumes, heat, radiation and electric shock.Fumes:Very small amounts of welding fumes are normally produced by TIGwelding. Overexposure to welding fumes may result in symptoms likemetal fume fever, dizziness, nausea, dryness or irritation of the nose,throat or eyes. Chronic overexposure to welding fumes may affectpulmonary function.Heat:Spatter and melting metal can cause burn injuries and start fires.Radiation:Arc rays can severely damage eyes or skin.Electricity:Electric shock can kill.3.SECTION 3: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS3.2.

Description of first aid measures:Inhalation:If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration and obtainmedical assistance immediately! If breathing is difficult, provide fresh airand call physician.Eye contact / Skincontact:For radiation burns due to arc flash, see physician. To remove dusts orfumes flush with water for at least fifteen minutes. If irritation persists,obtain medical assistance. For skin burns from arc radiation, promptlyflush with cold water. Get medical attention for burns or irritations thatpersist. To remove dust or particles wash with mild soap and water.Electric shock:Disconnect and turn off the power. Use a nonconductive material topull victim away from contact with live parts or wires. If not breathing,begin artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If no detectablepulse, begin Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Immediately call aphysician.4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: N.a. 4.3. Indication of anyimmediate medical attention and special treatment needed: N.a. General: Move to fresh airand call for medical aid.5.SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES5.1. Extinguishing media: No specific recommendations for welding consumables. Weldingarcs and sparks can ignite combustible and flammable materials. Use the extinguishingmedia recommended for the burning materials and fire situation. 5.2. Special hazards arisingfrom the substance or mixture: N.a.

Advice for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus as fumes or vapors maybe harmful.6.SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: refer to section8.6.2. Environmental precautions: refer to section 13.6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Solid objects may be pickedup and placed into a container. Liquids or pastes should be scooped up and placed into acontainer. Wear proper protective equipment while handling these materials. Do not discardas refuse. 6.4. Reference to other sections: refer to section 8/137.SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE7.1. Precautions for safe handling: Handle with care to avoid stings and cuts. Wear gloveswhen handling welding consumables. Avoid exposure to dust. Do not ingest. Someindividuals can develop an allergic reaction to certain materials. Retain all warning andidentity labels.7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep separate from chemicalsubstances like acids and strong bases, which could cause chemical reactions. 7.3. Specificend use(s): Arc Welding8.SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION8.1. Control parameters: Refer to section 8.2.8.2. Exposure controls: Engineering measures: 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. Keepworking place and protective clothing clean and dry. Train welders to avoid contact with liveelectrical parts and insulate conductive parts. Check condition of protective clothing andequipment on a regular basis.Personal protective equipment: Use respirator or air supplied respirator when welding orbrazing in a confined space, or where local exhaust or ventilation is not sufficient to keepexposure values within safe limits. Use special care when welding painted or coated steelssince hazardous substances from the coating may be emitted. Wear hand, head, eyes, earand body protection like welders gloves, helmet or face shield with filter lens, safety boots,apron, arm and shoulder protection. Keep protective clothing clean and dry.Use industrial hygiene monitoring equipment to ensure that exposure does not exceedapplicable national exposure limits. The following limits can be used as guidance. Unlessnoted, all values are for 8 hour time weighted averages (TWA).
