SECTION IV FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT: Non-Flammable
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not Applicable
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: No specific agents available
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: If involved in fire, use full protective clothing and NIOSHA/MSHA approved self-
contained breathing apparatus operated in a positive-pressure mode.
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: The solid metal form is not a fire hazard. However, dust generated from
processing operations may present a moderate fire or explosion hazard.
SECTION V REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Not Applicable
INCOMPATIBILTY: Chlorine, Turpentine, Magnesium, and Acetylene Gas.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: At temperatures above the melting point metal oxide fume may be evolved.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
SECTION VI HEALTH HAZARD DATA
NOTE: Exposure to the solid form of this product presents few health hazards in itself. However, normal handling or processing of
this material may result in exposure to product components and/or decomposition products, which may present a health hazard.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Dust/fume inhalation; dust ingestion.
SYMPTOMS & EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Chronic (prolonged) overexposure to tin can result in benign pneumoconiosis (stannous) This form of
pneumoconiosis produces progressive x-ray changes of the lungs as long as exposure exists, but there is no
distinctive fibrosis, no evidence of disability and no special complicating factors.
Acute (severe short-term) overexposure to tin can cause irritation of the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and
respiratory system. Acute overexposure to Copper can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin, and
under severe fume overexposure may cause metal fume fever with flu-like symptoms such as sweet metal taste,
dry throat, coughing, fever and chills, tight chest, dyspnea, headache, blurred vision, back pain, nausea, vomiting,
fatigue. Symptoms usually disappear within 24 hours. Copper may cause skin and hair discoloration. Inhalation of
copper dusts may cause changes in the gums and mucous lining in the mouth, which is generally attributable to,
localized tissue effect rather than general toxicity.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLY
AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Pre-existing conditions of the lungs; Wilson's Disease (genetic trait).
CARCINOGENITY: Not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC, OSHA, and ACGIH
EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES
SKIN: Normal first aid and hygiene procedures - wash with soap and water. If irritation develops or
persists, obtain medical attention.
EYES: Flush well with running water to remove particulate. If irritation persists obtain medical attention.
ACUTE INHALATION: Remove from exposure. Obtain immediate medical attention. If breathing has stopped, initiate
artificial resuscitation.
INGESTION: Give water; induce vomiting only in a conscious non-convulsing individual; obtain immediate
medical attention.
SECTION VII PROTECTION MEASURES
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection is required where airborne exposures exceed US-OSHA/ACGIH
permissible air concentrations. Respirator selection shall be made in accordance with the
US OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29CFR 1910.134.
VENTILATION: Good general ventilation, or ventilation, as described in "Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practice", by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists, is recommended to maintain exposure levels below the permissible exposure
limits (PEL's) or threshold limit values (TLV's) specified by US-OSHA or other local or state
regulations.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Recommended for prolonged contact/heat.
Rev 005
Date: 2/19/07

EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or goggles are recommended where the possibility exists of getting dust
particles in the eyes. Safety glasses or goggles with face shield are recommended around
molten metal.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Safety equipment should be worn as appropriate for the work environment.
WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Do not permit eating, drinking, or the use of cosmetics or tobacco products while handling
or processing material or in solder work areas. Practice good personal hygiene procedures.
Wash hands and face thoroughly before eating, drinking, applying cosmetics or using
tobacco products. Avoid inhalation and ingestion of product, and activities, which generate
dust or fume. Keep melting/soldering temperatures as low as possible to minimize the
generation of fume.
SECTION VIII PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING & USE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN
IN HANDLING & STORING: Practice good housekeeping procedures to prevent dust accumulations. Keep material dry. Avoid
storage near incompatible materials (See Section V). Keep product away from children and their
environment and domestic animals.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Special attention is drawn to the requirements of the U.S. OSHA Respirator Standard (1910.134)
should airborne exposures exceed the U.S. OSHA (PEL). Inadvertent contaminants to product such
as moisture, ice, snow, grease or oil can cause an explosion when charged to a molten metal bath
or melting furnace (Preheating metal will remove moisture from product).
SECTION IX SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES:
1. Material in dust form-minimize exposure. Clean up using dustless methods (i.e. HEPA Vacuum). Do not use compressed air.
2. Place in closed labeled containers for recycling or disposal.
3. Keep out of waterways.
NOTE: Cleanup personnel should wear protective clothing and respiratory protection where significant dust/fume
exposure exists.
OTHER PROCEDURES:
For large product users, we recommend that the purchaser establish a spill prevention, control and counter measure plan. This plan
should include procedures for proper storage as well as clean up of spills or leaks. The procedures should conform to safe practices
and provide for proper recovery and/or disposal. Depending on the quantity spilled, notification to the U.S. National Response
Center (800-424-8802) may be required in case of hazardous substances. (See USEPA and USDOT regulations: also various
states and local regulations.)
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: May have value on a recycled basis. If disposed of, dispose of in a permitted disposal site in
accordance with all federal, state and local disposal or discharge regulations.
