SECTION III (POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS AND HEALTH HAZARD DATA)
Target organ statement:
DANGER: Causes sever burns to skin, eyes, and respiratory system. May be fatal if swallowed or inhaled.
OSHA PEL: not established-mixture.
SHORT TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE to mixture:
Swallowing May cause burns of mouth and throat..
Inhalation Irritation to respiratory system. Coughing and sneezing. Existing lung disorders will be aggravated.
Severe exposure may cause pulmonary edema. Metal fume fever may result from inhaling zinc oxide,
which is a possible decomposition product at high temperatures.
Skin Contact Dermatitis, possible chemical burns, and corrosive to skin. Existing disorders will be aggravated.
Eye Contact Irritation to the eyes, tearing, burn of the eye surfaces, corrosive to the eyes, may cause blindness.
SECTION IV ( EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES)
Swallowing: Call a physician at once or your poison control center. Advise of Section II immediately. May be fatal. Corrosive
to mucous membranes.
Skin: Promptly flush with water for 15 minutes to remove all residue. If rash or burn develops, consult a physician. Material is
corrosive. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If fumes are inhaled, call a physician.
Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes to remove all residue. Hold eyelids apart during irrigation. Get immediate medical
help - blindness may result.

SECTION V (FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA)
Flashpoint: Will not burn.
Extinguishing media: water, fog, or foam
Special fire fighting procedures: full protective equipment required. May release zinc oxide, zinc chloride and hydrogen chloride.
Unusual fire and explosion hazards: Dense smoke may be generated in a fire.
Rating under HMIS: Health, 1; Flammability, 0; Reactivity, 1.
Rating under NFPA: Health, 1; Flammability, 0; Reactivity, 1.
SECTION VI (REACTIVITY DATA)
Stability consideration: stable
Hazardous polymerization: will not occur
Conditions to avoid: none
Incompatibility: Materials to avoid: Strong acids, cyanides, and sulfides.
Hazardous combustion or decompositions products: zinc oxide and HCl.
SECTION VII ( SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE)
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled: Contain spill, absorb, sweep up and dispose. Flush area to chemical sewer.
Waste disposal method: Dispose of in accordance with all federal state, and local regulations.
SECTION VIII ( SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION)
Respiratory protection: If the workstation is not properly ventilated to exhaust all fumes and vapors, use a NIOSH approved mask.
Ventilation: Maintain airflow away from the user to remove all fumes and vapors, so that the PEL is never exceeded. Adhere to
environmental regulations for exhausts.
Protective gloves: Rubber gloves.
Eye protection: Wear appropriate chemical safety goggles and face shield when handling fluxes and chemical aids.
Other protective equipment: Full protective equipment normally used in soldering operation so as to prevent any contact. Review operations
to avoid contact with hazardous gas, liquid, or solid. See also:
29CFR 1910.132 - 29 CFR 1910.140 Personal Protective Equipment
29 CFR 1910.251 - 29 CFR 1910.257 Welding, Cutting and Brazing
SECTION IX (STORAGE, HANDLING AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS)
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage: Store flux at ambient conditions. Store in plastic container or plastic lined or rubber lined
containers. Do not store in steel containers. Wash thoroughly after handling to remove all residue.
Other precautions: Do NOT breathe fumes. Professionally wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Existing lung disorders will have
increased toxic susceptibility.
SECTION X (PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL HAZARDS)
Appearance and odor: Liquid Flux
HYDROCHLORIC ACID: WARNING: STRONG ACID ?HANDLE WITH CARE! CAUTION: Contact with common metals
produces hydrogen, which forms explosive mixtures in air. HCL in fluxes is a reagent grade 36 ?38 %, balance water. Corrosive liquid may
cause permanent visual and tissue damage. Excessive inhalation may cause pulmonary edema, circulatory failure, respiratory system failure,
and collapse. If ingested, may be fatal, severe burns to mouth, throat stomach, nausea and vomiting. NFPA/HMIS: 3:0:0.
CHLORIDE COMPOUNDS: (zinc chloride, ammonium chloride): Overexposure may cause severe irritation or burns of the eyes and skin.
Chloride compounds will form strong acids in the presence of water and may give off HCL gas in a fire. Ingestion will cause nausea.
ETHYLENE GLYCOL ?Can affect the body if contact with the eyes, open skin wounds, or if ingested. Single dose oral toxicity is
moderate. Excessive ingestion may cause central nervous system effects, pulmonary and kidney effects, serious injury or death. Inhalation of
vapors may cause respiratory irritation. Ethylene glycol is present in small percentages by weight and should cause very little problems to the
welder if proper ventilation procedures are used.
