Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Symptoms: Flux fumes may irritate the nose, throat and lungs and may after prolonged/repeated exposure give an allergic reaction (asthma).

Rinse with running water and soap. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.

Symptoms: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation.

Rinse immediately with plenty of running water (for 10 minutes), seek medical attention from a specialist.

Symptoms: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause eye irritation.

Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice.

Carbon dioxide, foam, powder Fine water spray

Do not use water on fires where molten metal is present.

High temperatures may produce heavy metal dust, fumes or vapours. The flux medium will give rise to irritating fumes.

Any fire extinguishing action should be appropriate to the surroundings.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Do not empty into drains / surface water / ground water.

Scrape up spilled material and place in a closed container for disposal.

Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid breathing fumes given out during soldering. Do not heat above 500 °C. See advice in section 8

Store at room temperature. Refer to Technical Data Sheet

When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Good industrial hygiene practices should be observed. Do not eat, drink or smoke while working. After handling solder wash hands with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking.

Extraction is necessary to remove fumes evolved during reflow. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.

Chemical-resistant protective gloves (EN 374). Suitable materials for short-term contact or splashes (recommended: at least protection index 2, corresponding to > 30 minutes permeation time as per EN 374): nitrile rubber (NBR; >= 0.4 mm thickness) Suitable materials for longer, direct contact (recommended: protection index 6, corresponding to > 480 minutes permeation time as per EN 374): nitrile rubber (NBR; >= 0.4 mm thickness) This information is based on literature references and on information provided by glove manufacturers, or is derived by analogy with similar substances. Please note that in practice the working life of chemical-resistant protective gloves may be considerably shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374 as a result of the many influencing factors (e.g. temperature). If signs of wear and tear are noticed then the gloves should be replaced.

Safety glasses with sideshields or chemical safety goggles should be worn if there is a risk of splashing. Protective eye equipment should conform to EN166.

Ensure adequate ventilation. An approved mask or respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge should be worn if the product is used in a poorly ventilated area In case of aerosol formation, we recommend wearing of appropriate respiratory protection equipment with ABEK P2 filter (EN 14387). This recommendation should be matched to local conditions.

Wear suitable protective clothing. Protective clothing should conform to EN 14605 for liquid splashes or to EN 13982 for dusts.

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Solder alloy will react with concentrated nitric acid to produce toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. Reacts with strong oxidants.

See section reactivity

Stable under normal conditions of storage and use.

See section reactivity.

Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

Otherwise dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations. Wherever possible unwanted solder alloy should be recycled for recovery of metal.
