Before using this product read and understand the manufactures instructions, this MSDS and your employer’s safety practices. Protect yourself and others. When this product is used for its intended purpose (welding) fumes and gases produced as a byproduct can be hazardous to your health. Aggravation of pre-existing respiratory or allergic conditions may occur in some workers. Arc Rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can kill. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE) EXPOSURE: Acute overexposure to welding fumes may result in symptoms like metallic taste; nausea; dizziness; tightness of chest; fever; irritation of eyes, nose, throat and skin; loss of consciousness/death due to welding gases or lack of oxygen. Metal Fume Fever is characterized by chills, fever, vomiting, irritation of throat, upset stomach, and body aches, and siderosis. LONG-TERM (CHRONIC) EXPOSURE: Chronic overexposure to welding fume, gases, or dusts may cause permanent health effects. These effects may include skin sensitization, neurological damage, and respiratory disease such as bronchial asthma, lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis. Prolonged inhalation of Nickel and Chromium compounds above exposure limits can cause cancer. Nickel and Nickel compounds are on the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) lists as posing a possible carcinogenic risk to humans. Hexavalent Chromium and Silica are listed as known human carcinogens by IARC and NTP. Welding Fumes are listed by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Overexposure to Manganese above exposure limits can cause irreversible damage to the central nervous system, including the brain, symptoms of which may include slurred speech, lethargy, tremor, muscular weakness, psychological disturbances and spastic gate. EXPOSURE LIMITS: The ACGIH recommended exposure limit for total welding fumes is 5mg/m 3. When this product is used for its intended purpose specific fumes (Copper, Chromium, Manganese, Nickel and others) are produced. The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of these materials may be exceeded before reaching the recommended maximum exposure for welding fumes. OSHA requires employers to ensure exposures below individual constituent PEL’s (See Section 10). Determine actual exposure by industrial hygiene monitoring. Section 4 - First Aid Measures EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID: Remove from exposure and obtain prompt medical attention. If victim is unconscious, administer oxygen. If not breathing, resuscitate immediately. If flu-like symptoms (cough, muscle pain, fever, chills, insomnia, or mental confusion) develop after use, obtain medical help immediately. Section 5 - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data Flammability: This material is not flammable. However, welding arc and sparks can ignite combustible and flammable materials. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Rating: Health - 2 Flammability - 0 Reactivity – 0 Note: The NFPA Health rating is based on the fumes generated during normal use. Section 6 - Spill or Leak Procedure Spill of Leak Procedure: Not Applicable Section 7 - Handling and Storage Precautions: None. Section 8 - Exposure Controls & Personal Protection VENTILATION: Use enough ventilation and/or local exhaust to keep fumes and gasses from your breathing zone and below all published exposure limits (See Section 10). Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use air-purifying fume respirator or air-supplied respirator when welding in confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation is not sufficient to keep exposure below all published exposure limits (See Section 10). Use special care when welding painted or coated steels since hazardous substances from the coating may be emitted. EYE PROTECTION: Wear welding helmet or use face shield with filter lens, Shade No. 10 or darker. Provide protective screens or flash goggles if necessary to shield others. Electric Shock: Electrical arc can cause serious burns or death. Do not touch welding wire (Rod) while welding. Do not touch live 2 of 5 NATIONAL STANDARD, LLC MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Product Name: TRU-CORE WELDING WIRE Date: November 2011 electrical parts. Make sure equipment is properly grounded. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate himself from work and ground. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear hand, head and body protection which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks and electrical shock (see ANSI-Z49.1). At a minimum, this includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield, and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, and shoulder protection as well as dark, substantial clothing. Section 9 - Physical and Chemical Properties Cored Welding Wire is comprised of a solid tubular steel sheath, with a core containing chemical, mineral or alloy powders, or a mixture of any combination of them. Section 10 - Stability & Reactivity Information Materials to Avoid: Avoid contact with mineral acids and oxidizing agents which may generate hydrogen gas. Stability: These products are stable under normal conditions. Hazardous Polymerization: Will Not Occur Hazardous Decomposition Products: Welders are exposed to a range of fumes and gases. Fume particles contain a wide variety of oxides and salts of metals and other compounds, which are produced mainly from electrodes, filler wire and flux materials. Fumes from the welding of stainless-steel and other alloys contain nickel compounds and chromium [VI] and [III]. Ozone is formed during most electric arc welding, and exposures can be high in comparison to the exposure limit, particularly during metal inert gas welding of aluminum. Oxides of nitrogen are found during manual metal arc welding and particularly during gas welding. Welders who weld painted mild steel can also be exposed to a range of organic compounds produced by pyrolysis.
