SECTION 3: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Shiny, braided copper wire. This product is nonflammable.
Potential Health Effects:
Eyes: No effect expected under normal conditions of use. Vapors released from other materials used in the desoldering process may cause eye irritation.
Skin: Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Metal contact may be irritating to mouth, throat and stomach tissues.
Inhalation: No effects expected under normal conditions of use. Vapors from other materials used in the desoldering process may cause irritation of the mouth, nose
and throat.
Pre-Existing Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: None known.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Usually not required. If eye irritation occurs immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing , remove any contact lenses and continue flushing
for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and tested by medical personnel if irritation develops or persists.
Skin: Usually not required . If skin irritation occurs wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops
or persist. Wash clothing separately before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: If user is overcome by fumes during the desoldering process, remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: Nonflammable LEL/UEL: Not applicable
Extinguishing Media: Water fog, CO2, dry chemical, foam are compatible for extinguishing fires involving other materials when Soder-Wick is present.
Fire Fighting Instructions: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spills: Pick up spilled braid. If soiled or dirty store in a closed container for delivery to a metals recycling center. Do not dispose of by placing in trash.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with eyes, skin. Wash hands before eating. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors given off by he desoldering
process. Store in a cool dry place. Keep container closed when not in use. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
