SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Hazards 1 PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION Welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The Product Name FLUX CORED WIRE composition and quality of both are dependant upon the metal being welded, the Product Specifications AWS/ASME SFA 5.4 Process, procedure and electrode used. Most fume ingredients are present as complex oxides and compounds and not as pure

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Brands The following Afrox products are metals. covered by this MSDS: Other conditions which also influence the composition and - COREMAX 81K2 quality of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed include: coatings On the Recommended use metal being welded Flux cored welding (MIG Process) (such as paint, plating or galvanizing), the number of welders and the volume of the Supplier Afrox work area, the quality and amount of ventilation, the position of the welder’s head with respect to the fume plume, as well as Company Identification African Oxygen Limited the presence of contaminants in the atmosphere ( such as 23 Webber Street chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from cleaning and degreasing Johannesburg, 2001 activities). When the electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and Tel. No: (011) 490-0400 form from the ingredients listed in Section 2. Decomposition Fax No: (011) 490-0506 products of normal operation include those originating from the volatilization, reaction or oxidation of the materials shown EMERGENCY NUMBER = 0860111185 or (011) 873 4382 in Section 2, plus those from the base metal and coating, ect., (24 hours) as noted above. Reasonably expected constituents of the fume would include; Primarily complex iron oxides and fluorides. 2. DETAILS OF COMPOSITION Secondarily complex oxides of calcium, manganese, aluminium, chromium, nickel, silicon, molybdenum, This section covers the hazardous materials from which this product magnesium, and titanium. Monitor for the materials identified is manufactured. The fumes and gases produced during welding with in section2. Fumes from the use of this product may contain normal use of this product are also addressed in Section 5. The terms fluorides, manganese, calcium oxide, chromium and _ nickel “hazardous” in this section should be interpreted as a term required compounds, mica, and amorphous silica fume whose exposure limits are lower than the 5 mg/m3 PEL/TLV for general and defined
