V. Health Hazard Information
Fastener Industries, Inc., does not consider its product in it solid form to the end user a physical or health hazard. Subsequent operations such as welding, melting, abrazing, cutting or processing in any other fashion may produce potentially hazardous fumes or dust which can be inhaled, swallowed, or come in contact with the skin or eyes.
Route of Entry Emergency First Aid
Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If condition continues, consult physician.
Eye Contact Flush well with running water to remove particulate. Obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact: Brush or remove excess dust. Wash skin area well with soap and water. Launder clothing and/or uniforms.
Ingestion Seek medical attention if large quantities of material have been ingested.
Effect of Exposure:
No toxic effects would be expected from exposure to the solid form of ferrous and nonferrous metals. Prolonged repeated exposure to fumes or dust generated during welding, heating, brazing or cutting without proper protection or ventilation may or may not cause adverse health effects associated with the listed constituents in excess of OSHA’s permissible exposure limits established in 29 CFR, Subpart 2 (see Section II).
Exposure Limits: Section II lists specific permissible exposure limits.
Special Note: Determine actual exposure by industrial hygiene monitoring.
Possible Signs and Symptoms of Exposure to Welding Fume, Dust, and Gases:
Short Term Exposure: Metallic taste, Nausea, Tightness of chest, Fever, Irritation of eyes, nose, throat and skin, Loss of consciousness due to lack of oxygen.
Long Term Exposure: There are no adverse effects from the products in their solid form. Adverse effects may or may not result from long-term exposure to dust, fumes, gases, etc., that occur by way of subsequent operations on the product. We believe there is no reliable scientific studies which show that workers exposed to operations with our products suffer increased incidence of cancer or other disease because of exposure to our product.
VI. Reactivity Data
Stability: Chemically Stable
Incompatibility: Reacts with very strong acids
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Metallic Oxides
VII. Spill, Leak or Disposal Information
Steps to be taken in case of release or spill: Good housekeeping and discussion.
Waste Disposal Method: Solid form, evaluate for usability, or sale as scrap for reuse.
Dust, fumes, etc. Follow Federal, State and Local regulations regarding disposal.
VIII. Special Protection Information
Ventilation Requirements: Use general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations of dust and fumes below the Threshold Limit Values.
Personal Protection Equipment:
Respiratory Protection: If dust, fumes, or misting conditions occur and Threshold Limit Values as indicated in Section II is exceeded, provide NIOSH approved respirators.
Eye Protection: Recommended approved safety glasses or goggles when working subsequent operations.
Gloves: As required.
Other protective clothing or equipment: As required.
IX. Special Precautions
Use good shop practices to keep dust and fume concentrations at a minimum.
This material is protected with coatings such as oils, rust inhibitors, and other coatings. If these coatings are suspect to be contaminated, special precautions, such as in-house process control and protective equipment appropriate to the nature of the suspected contaminants should be taken to avoid possible exposure when handling.
