Other hazards which do not result in classification

Overview Electric shock can kill. Wear approved head, hand and body protection, which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks and electrical shock. Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles or flammable materials. See ANSI Z-49.1. This would include wearing welder’s gloves and a protective face shield and may include arm protectors, apron, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial clothing. Welders should be trained not to allow electrically live parts to contract the skin or wet clothing and gloves. The welders should insulate themselves from the work and ground. Arc Rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions and precautionary label on this product and your employer’s safety practices. See Section 13 for additional guide. As shipped, this wire is odorless, is nonflammable, non-explosive and non–hazardous and may be copper coated. Substance: Welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of these fumes and gases are dependent upon the metal being welded, the procedures followed and the electrodes used. Fumes may affect eyes, skin, respiratory system as well as pancreas and liver. Workers should be aware that the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which they may be exposed, are influenced by: coatings which may be present on the metal being welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), the number of welders in operation and the volume of the work area, the quality and amount of ventilation, the position of the welder’s head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence of contaminants in the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from cleaning and degreasing procedure). When the wire is consumed, fumes and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section 3. The composition of these fumes and gases are the concerning matter and not the composition of the wire itself. Decomposition products include those originating from the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the ingredients shown in Section 3, plus those from the base metal, coating and the other factors noted above. Reasonable expected fume constituents of this product would include: Complex oxides or compounds of iron, manganese, silicon, copper, aluminum, titanium, and zirconium. (Other complex oxides may be present when using fluxes). The term “HAZARDOUS MATERIALS” should be interpreted as a term required and defined
