SECTION 2: Hazards identification

THE HEALTH HAZARDS INFORMATION GIVEN IN SDS HW-7031 FOR WELDING PRODUCTS AND THERMAL SPRAY WIRE ALSO APPLY. The health hazards described in this section do not apply under normal handling and use of these products in solid form. Cutting, grinding, etc., of these products may produce dust, or particulate containing the component elements of these materials with associated health hazards described in this section. If these products are involved in welding or melting, the

Precautionary statements

and Symptoms; All products in Section 1 P 201 Obtain special instructions before use P 202 Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood DANGER P261 + P270 Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Avoid breathing dust or fume P264 Wash hands thoroughly after touching dust created by these products P271 Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area P 272 Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace P 280 Wear protective gloves, clothing, eye and/or face protection WARNING P 284 In case of inadequate ventilation, wear respiratory protection Hazards not otherwise classified or not covered by GHS INHALATION: Inhalation of metal dust, fume, or powder may result from melting, dross handling, casting, welding, thermal cutting, grinding, crushing, or similar operations which generate airborne metal particulate during use of these materials. Inhaled particulate may irritate the respiratory tract. Excessive inhalation of aluminum, cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel, and zinc can cause respiratory irritation, cough, bronchitis, chills, “metal fume fever,” and asthma-like symptoms. INGESTION: Hand, clothing, food, and drink contact with metal dust, fume, or powder can cause ingestion of particulate during hand to mouth activities such as drinking, smoking, nail biting, etc. Ingestion of large doses may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. SKIN: Skin contact with the dust or fume form of these materials may cause irritation and in some sensitive individuals an allergic dermatitis when elements such as chromium, cobalt, copper, and nickel are present. EYES: Contact with particulate metal (dust, fume, or powder) may inflame the conjunctiva. Airborne particulate (chips, dust, or powder) is always a potential problem as well as inserting fingers into the eye socket if the hand or clothing is contaminated with metal particulate. Respiratory disease with symptoms ranging from shortness of breath and cough to permanent disability due to loss of lung function; sensitization or hypersensitivity and fibrosis or subsequent effects on the heart may be caused by excessive exposure to dust or fumes containing cobalt, nickel, titanium, and tungsten. Central nervous system depression has been identified with excessive manganese exposure. Insoluble nickel compounds and hexavalent chromium compounds have been linked to nasal, bronchial, and lung cancers. Aluminum and iron have been indicated to cause gastro-intestinal disorders and non-significant changes in the lung. Chronic health effects specific to an element(s) may be difficult to detect due to the numerous elemental constituents in these alloys.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Individuals who may have had an allergic reaction or sensitivity to metals such as chromium, copper, cobalt, and nickel may encounter skin rash or dermatitis if skin contact with this product occurs. Persons with impaired pulmonary function, airway diseases and conditions such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, etc., may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of dust or fume are inhaled. If prior damage or disease to the Neurologic (nervous), Circulatory, Hematologic (blood) or Renal (kidney) systems has occurred, proper screening or examinations should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use of these materials cause excessive exposure.
