SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Solid. Silver colored. Odorless. Non-combustible as supplied. Small chips, fine turnings and dust from processing may be readily ignitable. Warning! Welding, brazing, grinding, and machining may cause dust and/or fumes to be released. These fumes may be harmful if inhaled and may irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Molten material may cause thermal burns.

Potential health effects

The health effects listed below are not likely to occur unless the processing of this product generates dust or fumes. The following statements summarize the health effects generally expected in cases of overexposure. User specific situations should be assessed by a qualified individual. Additional health information can be found in Section 11. Eyes Dust and fumes from processing: Can cause irritation. Skin Dust and fumes from processing: Can cause irritation. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization and allergic contact dermatitis. Inhalation Health effects from mechanical processing (e.g., cutting, grinding) Dust Can cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. Chronic overexposures: Can cause scarring of the lungs (pulmonary fibrosis), central nervous system damage, secondary Parkinson's disease and reproductive harm in males. Additional health effects from elevated temperature processing (e.g., welding, melting) Dust and fumes Can cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Acute overexposures: Can cause metal fume fever (nausea, chills, fever, shortness of breath, and malaise), reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen (methemaglobin) and the accumulation of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema). Chronic overexposures: Can cause lung cancer. Carcinogenicity and Reproductive Hazard Product as shipped: Does not present any cancer or reproductive hazards. Dust from mechanical processing Can present a cancer hazard (Lead, Nickel). Can present a reproductive hazard (Lead, Manganese). Dust and fumes from welding or elevated temperature processing Can present a cancer hazard (Hexavalent chromium compounds, Lead compounds, Nickel compounds, Welding fumes). Can present a reproductive hazard (Lead compounds, Manganese compounds). Page 2 of 7
