Weldcote Anti Spatter

Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get medical attention.

Symptoms: Short-term (acute) overexposure to the gases, fumes, and dusts may include irritation of the eyes, lungs, nose, and throat. Some toxic gases associated with welding may cause pulmonary edema, asphyxiation, and death. Acute overexposure may include signs and symptoms such as watery eyes, nose and throat irritation, headache, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, frequent coughing, or chest pain. The presence of chromium/chromate in fume can cause irritation of nasal membranes and skin. The presence of nickel compounds in fume can cause metallic taste, nausea, tightness of chest, fever, and allergic reaction. Excessive inhalation or ingestion of manganese can produce manganese poisoning. Overexposure to manganese compounds may affect the central nervous system, symptoms of which are languor, sleepiness, muscular weakness, emotional disturbances, and spastic gait resembling Parkinsonism. These symptoms can become progressive and permanent if not treated. Excessive inhalation of fumes may cause "Metal Fume Fever" with Flu-like symptoms such as chills, fever, body aches, vomiting, sweating, etc.

Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Symptoms: Dusts may cause irritation.

Immediately flush eyes with water and continue washing for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention if discomfort persists.

Symptoms: Causes eye irritation.

Do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.

Symptoms: Not an anticipated route of exposure during normal product handling. May be harmful if ingested.

Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

No data available.

Fire may produce irritating or poisonous gases.

For non-emergency personnel: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Avoid release into the environment. Avoid dispersal of spilled material and contact with soil, ground and surface water drains and sewers.

Take up mechanically. Collect the material in labeled containers.

Welding may produce dust, fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing dust, fumes and gases. Use adequate ventilation. Keep away from sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Store in cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from incompatible materials. Keep away from heat and open flame.

Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas.

Keep away from sources of ignition.

local exhaust and general ventilation must be adequate to meet exposure standards.

Wear welding gloves.

Wear helmet or face shield with filter lens of appropriate shade number. See ANSI/ASC Z49.1 Section 4.2. Provide protective screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.

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

Wear head and body protection, which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks, flame and electrical shock. See ANSI Z49.1. At a minimum this includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield, and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial clothing. Train the employee not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate him/herself from work and ground. Welders should not wear short sleeve shirts or short pants.

The product is stable under normal conditions. When using it may produce dangerous fumes and gases.

Will not occur.

Welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedure and welding consumables used. Other conditions which also influence the composition and quantity of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed include: coating on the metal being welded (i.e. paint, painting, galvanizing), the number of welders, the volume of the work area, the quality and the amount of ventilation, the position of the welders head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence of contaminants in the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from the cleaning and degreasing activities). When an electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section 3. Fume and gas decomposition, and not the ingredients in the electrode, are important. The concentration of a given fume or gas component may decrease or increase by many times the original concentration. Also, new compounds not in the electrodes may form. Decomposition products of normal operation include those originating from the volatilization, reaction or oxidation of the materials shown in Section 3, plus those from the base metal coating, etc., as noted above. Reasonable expected fume constituents of this product would include: Complex oxides of iron, manganese, silicon, chromium, nickel, columbium, molybdenum, copper, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone and nitrogen Oxides. Some products will also contain antimony, barium, molybdenum, aluminum, columbium, magnesium, strontium, tungsten, and or zirconium. Fume limit for chromium, nickel and or manganese may be reached before limit of 5 mg/m3 of general welding fumes is reached. Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc.
