LaserForm A6

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview This preparation can cause an allergic skin reaction. Prolonged or multiple exposures can cause skin sensitisation. Can cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Dusts or fume can cause respiratory system damage. The metal alloy contains a substance that can cause nervous system effects.

Potential health effects

Eyes: This product can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include discomfort, itching and redness after contact. Skin: This product can cause skin irritation. Symptoms include reversible redness, itching and/or pain. Ingestion: Ingestion of large amounts can cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, diarrhea and/or nausea. Inhalation: This product can irritate the respiratory system. Symptoms include mild nasal and respiratory irritation, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Inhalation of fumes when the product is heated can cause metal fume fever with resulting flu-like symptoms. Chronic: Prolonged or repeated inhalation of powder, dust or fumes can cause more severe irritation and possibly lung damage. Prolonged or repeated exposures to chromium dusts or fumes may cause perforation of the nasal septum, bloody nose and other symptoms of severe nasal irritation. Chronic exposure to very high concentrations of manganese dust has caused nervous system effects including muscle weakness, tremors, and behavioral changes. Epidemiological studies in humans have shown an association between lung and nasal cancers and prolonged occupational exposures to high concentrations of metallic nickel. While metallic nickel has been identified as a possible health hazard under extended exposure to large concentrations, the nickel in this product is in low concentration and is alloyed with other metals. The particles are also coated with a binder, further reducing the risk of exposure to nickel.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Could aggravate existing asthma, neurological conditions, emphysema, or other respiratory disease. IV.
