Further information

Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions, safety data sheets and caution labels before using this product. The fumes produced by the use of this product may contain complex metal oxides, as well as solid particles or other constituents of welding, brazing, flux or base metal. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Certain medical studies have suggested that nervous system and/or lung damage can result from overexposure to welding fumes and gases. The welding fumes and gases produced from welding rod, coating flux, and base metal in a welding process may contain manganese and manganese compounds, nickel and nickel compounds, chromium (VI) and chromium compound, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. Overexposure to manganese and its compounds may cause metal fume fever and affect the central nervous system. Prolonged inhalation of nickel and chromium (VI) compounds above safe exposure limits can cause cancer. When this product is used in a welding process, the hazards are mostly from electric shock, heat, radiation, fumes and gases. Electric shock can kill. Arc rays, spatter, and melting metals can severely injure eyes and burn skin. Welding arc and sparks can cause fire.
