Further information
Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects 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 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 Unknown acute toxicity 92.65856 % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown toxicity 14 % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute oral toxicity 82.63356 % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute dermal toxicity 92.65856 % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute inhalation toxicity (gas) 92.65856 % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute inhalation toxicity (vapor) 88.65856 % of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown acute inhalation toxicity (dust/mist)
