Specification Sheet

Handle with care to avoid physical injuries like cuts, abrasions, etc. Use protective gloves.
Avoid exposure to dust to prevent allergies. Retain the warning label and product labels.
Keep the material away from acids and other reactive chemicals. Keep in proper storage area.
The OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits of air contaminants for the hazardous ingredients present in
consumable materials is indicated in Section 2. The ACGIH threshold limit values for the same is also
indicated. It should be noted that welding fumes do not have a specific OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV. All
exposure limits is in mg/m
3
. For a complete analysis of the hazard, an industrial hygienist should be
consulted. The exposure can be mitigated to a great extent by resorting to measures indicated below.
It is most important that the exposure is below PEL and TLV. Always use exhaust ventilation.
Refer to following for additional information: American National Standard (ANSI) Z49.1,
Safety in Welding and Cutting published by American Welding Society.
* Th
e following chemicals are subject to reporting under Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act (SARA) o
f 1986, Title III: Aluminum (fume or dust), Compounds of Barium, Chromium, Copper,
M
anganese, and Nickel.
Ventilation : Ask welder to keep his head out of the fumes. Use enough ventilation including local
ex
haust to keep the fumes and gases below PEL/ TLV Respiratory Protection . Use NIOSH
approved or equ
ivalent fume respirator or air when welding in confined space or where
th
ere are chances of the fumes being in excess of PEL/TLV limits.
Eye Protection : Use helmet or face shield with lens of shade 14 or near about. Provide protective
