All Melin Tool Cemented Tungsten Carbide and Cermet Tools

When symptoms occur: go into open air and ventilate suspected area. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty persists.

Symptoms: Dust from this product may cause irritation to the respiratory tract.

Wash with plenty of soap and water. Obtain medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Symptoms: Dust may cause irritation in skin folds or by contact in combination with tight clothing. Skin exposure can cause an allergic red rash (cobalt itch).

Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

Symptoms: Eye contact with dust may cause mechanical irritation.

If substantial quantities are swallowed, dilute with large amount of water. Induce vomiting and seek medical attention.

Symptoms: Ingestion is likely to be harmful or have adverse effects.

Dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Do not use a heavy water stream. Use of heavy stream of water may spread fire.

Fire Hazard: Not considered flammable but may burn at high temperatures. Explosion Hazard: Dusts may present a fire or explosion hazard under rare favoring conditions of particle size, dispersion, concentration, and strong ignition source. However, this is not expected to be a problem under normal handling conditions.

Do not breathe fumes or vapors from fire.

Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate area.

Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.

Clean up spills immediately and dispose of waste safely. Use HEPA vacuum or thoroughly wet with water to clean-up dust. Transfer spilled material to a suitable container for disposal.

Use care during processing to minimize generation of dust. Avoid dust production that exceeds permissible exposure limits.

Store in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking, or smoking and again when leaving work.

Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation or other suppression methods to maintain dust levels below exposure limits. Power equipment should be equipped with proper dust collection devices. Ensure all national/local regulations are observed.

Chemically resistant gloves are recommended, but not required.

Chemical safety goggles.

If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, approved respiratory protection should be worn.

Wear suitable protective clothing. Chemically resistant materials and fabrics.

Stable at standard temperature and pressure.

Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal conditions.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

Not available

Strong acids. Strong bases. Strong oxidizers. Contact of dust with strong oxidizers may cause fire or explosion.

Oxides of aluminum. Oxides of cobalt. Oxides of titanium. Oxides of tungsten. Carbon oxides (CO, CO₂).
