SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Classification according to GHS

a Not Classified / Label Elements - Hazard symbol and Signal word = No symbol or signal word

Hazard statements

and Precautionary statement = Not applicable

Other hazards which do not result in classification

Overview Fame or hot metal can injure your eyes. Electric shock can kill. Wear approved head, hand and body protection, which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks and electrical shock. Welding arc, Torch flame 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/brazers 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 and heat 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 XIII. As shipped these are odorless, wires that are nonflammable, non-explosive, non-reactive and non –hazardous. Substance: Welding fumes/brazing fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of these fumes and gases are dependent upon the metal being welded or brazed, the procedures followed and the filler used. Fumes and gases 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/brazed (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), the number of stations in operation and the volume of the work area, the quality and amount of ventilation, the position of the operator’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 filler is consumed, the fumes and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section III, The composition of these fumes and gases are the concerning matter and not the composition of the electrode itself. Decomposition products include those originating from the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the ingredients shown in Section III, plus those from the base metal, coating and the other factors noted above. Reasonable expected fume constituents of this product may include: Complex oxides or compounds of iron, manganese, silicon, copper, aluminum, titanium. (Other complex oxides may be present when using fluxes).
