SPEZIAL

Move to fresh air if breathing is difficult. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration and obtain medical assistance at once.

Symptoms: Short-term (acute) overexposure to fumes and gases from welding and allied processes may result in discomfort such as metal fume fever, dizziness, nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. May aggravate pre-existing respiratory problems (e.g. asthma, emphysema). Long-term (chronic) overexposure to fumes and gases from welding and allied processes can lead to siderosis (iron deposits in lung), central nervous system effects, bronchitis and other pulmonary effects.

Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water. Obtain medical assistance at once for reddened or blistered skin, or thermal burns.

Symptoms: Reddened or blistered skin, or thermal burns.

Dust or fume from this product should be flushed from the eyes with copious amounts of clean, tepid water until transported to an emergency medical facility. If exposed to arc rays, move victim to dark room, remove contact lenses as necessary for treatment, cover eyes with a padded dressing and rest. Obtain medical assistance at once.

Symptoms: Arc rays can injure eyes.

Avoid hand, clothing, food, and drink contact with fluxes, metal fume or powder which can cause ingestion of particulate during hand to mouth activities such as drinking, eating, smoking, etc. If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Contact a poison control center. Unless the poison control center advises otherwise, wash out mouth thoroughly with water. If symptoms develop, seek medical attention at once.

As shipped, the product will not burn. In case of fire in the surroundings: use appropriate extinguishing agent.

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammable products.

Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.

If airborne dust and/or fume is present, use adequate engineering controls and, if needed, personal protection to prevent overexposure. Refer to recommendations in Section 8.

Avoid release to the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Absorb with sand or other inert absorbent. Clean up spills immediately.

Materials: sand or other inert absorbent

Prevent formation of dust. Read and understand the manufacturer's instruction and the precautionary label on the product. See ISO/TR 18786:2014, ISO/TR 13392:2014, American National Standard Z49.1, "Safety In Welding, Cutting and Allied Processes" published by the American Welding Society, http://pubs.aws.org and OSHA Publication 2206 (29CFR1910), U.S. Government Printing Office, www.gpo.gov.

Store in closed original container in a dry place. Store in accordance with local/regional/national regulations.

Material is stable under normal conditions.

The product is non-reactive under normal conditions of use, storage and transport.

None under normal conditions.

Avoid heat or contamination.

Strong acids. Strong oxidizing substances. Strong bases.

Reasonably expected fume constituents produced during arc welding and brazing include the oxides of iron, manganese and other metals present in the welding consumable or base metal. Hexavalent chromium compounds may be in the welding or brazing fume of consumables or base metals which contain chromium. Gaseous and particulate fluoride may be in the fume of consumables or flux materials which contain fluoride. Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc associated with welding.
