2.3 Other hazards

This product as shipped is physiologically inert in its solid form. However, user-generated dust and/or fumes may pose a physiological hazard if inhaled or ingested. Avoid inhalation of metal dusts and fumes. May cause an influenza-like illness. Avoid skin and eye contact with dusts to prevent mechanical irritation. User-generated dust is easily ignited and difficult to extinguish.The below listing is a summary of elements used in alloying stainless steels. Various grades will contain different combinations of these elements. Other trace elements may also be present in minute amounts. These small quantities (less than 0.1%), frequently referred to as "trace" or "residual" elements, generally originate in the raw material used. Values shown are applicable to component elements. *Stainless steel products as provided contain chromium metal in the zero valence state. As such, chromium metal does not present any unusual health hazard. However, welding, torch cutting, brazing, or perhaps grinding of chromium metal in stainless steel may generate airborne concentration of hexavalent chromium. The roll may have a light coating of oil to prevent corrosion.
