HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Hazardous Polymerization:
Metal fume. Acids, bases, and oxidizers. Will not occur.
SECTION VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Permissible exposure limits and threshold limit values. See Section II.
Routes) of Entry: Inhalation: Yes; Skin: Yes; Ingestion: Yes
Under normal handling conditions the solid alloy presents no significant health hazards. Processing of the alloy by dust or fume
producing operation (grinding, buffing, heating, welding, etc.) may result in the potential for exposure to airborne metal particulates
or fume. The exposure levels in Section II are relevant to fumes and dusts.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Acute - Dust or fume may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, or throat and may leave a metallic taste in the mouth. Inhalation of oxides of Manganese, or
Copper may be manifested as flu-like symptoms commonly known as "metal fume fever". Phosphorous dust is considered a nuisance dust.
Chronic -
Aluminum: Inhalation of Aluminum Oxide fume or an accumulation of Silicon I n the lungs may result in benign pneumoconiosis.
Antimony: Antimony and its compounds are irritating to the skin and mucous membranes and are systemic poisons.
Beryllium: Inhalation of beryllium dust or fume may cause chronic beryllium disease (CBD) and is a cancer hazard.
Cadmium: Inhalation of cadmium fumes may cause respiratory irritation with a sore, dry throat and a metallic taste followed by a cough, chest pain, and
difficulty in breathing. The liver, kidneys and bone marrow may be injured by the presence of the metal.
Cobalt: Lung inflammation and damage, and diffuse pulmonary fibrosis from inhalation. Classified as a carcinogen by IARC.
Chromium: May enter and affect the body through Inhalation, Ingestion, or skin contact. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the Internal Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC) report they possess sufficient evidence to establish a causal relationship for human cancer from Chromium.
Copper: Inhalation may cause nose and throat irritation and metal fume fever and prolonged contact may cause dermatitis, discoloration of skin, hair and teeth.
Iron: inhalation of Iron Oxide fume or dust may result in a condition known as siderosis.
Lead: Lead compounds can be toxic when Ingested or inhaled. Lead is a cumulative poison and excessive exposure can have an adverse effect on
human reproduction. Acute exposure to lead can be manifested as abdominal pan, nausea, constipation, anorexia, or vomiting, and in severe cases death.
Manganese: Inhalation may result in symptoms such as headache, restlessness, neurological dysfunction, or muscular weakness.
Nickel: Inhalation may result m inflammation of the respiratory tract and fever. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) report they possess limited evidence for human cancer from Nickel and Nickel compounds.
Silicon: An accumulation of Silicon in the lungs may result in benign pneumoconiosis.
Tin: May cause eye, skin, and respiratory system irritation.
Zinc: Dust or fume may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, or throat and may leave a metallic taste in the mouth. Inhalation of oxides may cause "metal fume fever"
Coatings: If coated with oil, contact may cause skin irritation/dermatitis.
Welding Fume: Is listed as a possible carcinogen to humans.
NOTE: Antimony trioxide, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt-chromium alloy, lead and nickel have been identified as potential human carcinogens.

SECTION VII. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Inhalation: In the event of excessive exposure to dust or fume, remove the employee to fresh air. If breathing is difficult administer artificial respiration
or oxygen. Obtain immediate medical assistance.
Skin: Abrasions and cuts should be washed and closed by a clean compress and be immediately medically treated. Should skin irritation occur, wash
affected area with mild soap and rinse with clean warm water. Obtain medical assistance.
Eyes: Depending on the type and nature of exposure, relief may be obtained by fresh air or rinsing the eyes with clean water. Obtain medical assistance.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Persons with a predisposition to respiratory disorders may be adversely affected by particulates or respiratory irritants generated during the mfg. process.
SECTION VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION & CONTROL MEASURES
Note: Consult your regional codes or Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 1910. Subpart G-Occupational Health and Environmental Control, Subpart I
Personal Protective Equipment. Subpart P-Welding, Cutting, and Brazing, and Subpart Z-Toxic and Hazardous Substances. Certain welding type activities
may produce hazardous substances such as carbon monoxide, ozone, phosgene in the presence of certain chemicals, or produce Inert suffocating
atmospheres in addition to the production of ultraviolet radiation and/or noise.
Ventilation: Additional air make up systems may be required if, local exhaust or ventilation systems are not sufficient to maintain exposure levels to contaminates below
prescribed limits. When inhalation controls are not sufficient to reduce the exposure below the applicable exposure limit then use OSHA/NIOSH approved
respiratory protection within the use limitations of the respirator.
Personal To avoid contact use appropriate protective gloves or clothing to protect against cutting edges Appropriate heat shielding garments should be
Protection: used for activities using or generating heat. Eyes should be protected by using safety glasses, goggles, helmet, face shield as appropriate to the operation.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

Material: Beryllium Copper
Potential Health Effects from Exposure to Beryllium Copper Alloy
Copper beryllium (CuBe), in solid form and as contained in finished products, present no specific health risks.
Most manufacturing operations conducted properly on well-maintained equipment are capable of safely
processing copper beryllium containing materials. However, like many industrial materials, copper beryllium
may present a health risk if handled improperly. The degree of hazard varies depending on the form of the
product, how it is processed and handled, as well as the amount of beryllium in the product. The inhalation of
copper beryllium dusts, fumes, or mists can cause a serious lung condition in some individuals. The primary
hazard associated with copper beryllium involves processes that generate small airborne dusts, fumes, and mists
having diameters less than 10 microns or 0.0005 inch, at which size they are invisible to the naked eye. Many
processes do not generate particles this small; using appropriate engineering and work practice
controls must control those that do. You must read the product specific Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for
additional environmental, health, and safety information before working with any beryllium containing material.
Routes of Entry
Beryllium can enter the body in three ways: eye or skin contact, ingestion or swallowing, and most concern,
inhalation or breathing. No special health risks are associated with eye contact, skin contact or ingestion of
copper beryllium alloys.
Eye Contact - As with any metal processing operation, injury can result from particulate irritation or mechanical
injury to the eyes from contact with metallic dust, chips, or particles. Use proper protection such as safety
glasses with side shields, goggles, or face shields to prevent eye injury.
Skin Contact - No special health risk is associated with skin contact with copper beryllium materials. A cut or
laceration received from a sharp edge of copper beryllium material is no different from cuts received by other
metals and routine first aid treatment is appropriate. Some individuals may be sensitive to copper in these
products as a result of long-term contact.
Ingestion - There are no known cases of illness resulting from ingestion of copper beryllium containing materials;
however, the potential for irritation exists. Copper beryllium, as with most industrial materials, is not intended
for internal human consumption. Ingestion can occur when metal dust, fume, or powder contacts hands, clothing,
food, and drinks and this followed by eating, drinking, smoking, nail biting, etc. Always practice good personal
hygiene by not eating, drinking, or smoking in manufacturing areas and wash hands before doing so in
designated areas.

Material: Beryllium Copper
Potential Health Effects from Exposure to Beryllium Copper Alloy
Inhalation - People who are sensitive to inhaled beryllium particles can develop a serious and sometimes fatal
lung disease, called chronic beryllium disease (CBD). Chronic (long-term) health effects may take months or
years to develop. CBD is a condition, in which the tissues of the lungs become inflamed, restricting the
exchange of oxygen between the lungs and the blood stream. CBD does not occur in most people, however, it is
not currently possible to tell who is potentially allergic and who is not. Therefore, all workers need to be
protected by implementing engineering controls and good work practices to control airborne particles containing
beryllium. Three factors are required, and all must be present for a person to develop CBD. First, the individual
must be exposed to airborne beryllium in the form of a dust, fume or mist. Second, the particles must be tiny
enough to reach the air sacs deep in the lungs and thirdly, the person must be sensitive or allergic to beryllium.
When particles containing beryllium that are sufficiently fine to be inhaled are deposited on hands, gloves or
clothing, they could be transferred to the breathing zone and inhaled during normal hand to face motions. Care
should be taken not to touch the face with contaminated hands or clothing. Wash hands if they become
contaminated.
Cancer - Although beryllium has produced tumors in some laboratory animals, and is listed or suspected as a
human carcinogen by some agencies, Brush Wellman believes there is no credible evidence that beryllium
causes cancer in humans. In fact, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists recently stated
their belief that the risk of cancer is low in modern beryllium manufacturing plants. However, because cancer
research is continuing, Brush Wellman recommends that caution be maintained since beryllium, like many other
commonly used metals, has been listed by OSHA as a potential cancer hazard.
Additional Information
If you are concerned about the air quality in your work area; contact a qualified industrial hygienist to perform a
process evaluation. Brush Wellman has provided training to nearly 100 industrial hygiene consultants across the
US in hazard recognition and control of beryllium manufacturing operations. To obtain a list of consultants
nearest you call the Brush Wellman product safety hotline listed below.
The information contained in the MSDS Supplement supplied by Brush Wellman and applies only to the
subject referenced in the title. You must read the entire Material Safety Data Sheet specific to the products in
use at your facility for detailed environmental, health, and safety guidance. If you need additional information,
call the 24 hour product hotline at 800-862-4118 or 419-862-4118. Material Safety Data Sheets can be obtained
