Precautionary statements

Not applicable Other hazards which do not None. result in GHS classification: Substance(s) formed under the This type of welding or allied process may produce airborne fumes and conditions of use gases when used. Read the hazardous decomposition statement in Section 10 of this SDS before using this product. Use adequate ventilation to prevent overexposures. Products or alloys that contain chromium may produce compounds containing hexavalent chromium (CrVI) as a byproduct in the fume. Overexposure to airborne hexavalent chromium may cause lung cancer. Welding and allied processes may produce gases as a byproduct. In addition to those utilized for shielding, gases generated during hot work may include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (NOx), and fluoride. (Electric arc processes may also produce ozone gas.) These gases can be corrosive to skin and eyes, and overexposure may result in nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, skin or eye irritation or damage, neurological impairment and /or lung damage. Gases used with or produced by these processes can concentrate and displace oxygen in confined or restricted spaces resulting in asphyxiation.
