Toxicological Information.
SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Metallic wire, rod or strip
Odorless
Flash Point: Not Applicable
Overexposure may cause kidney and liver damage and blood disorders.
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Overexposure to freshly formed
fumes may cause a flu-like illness called "metal fume fever".
Harmful if large amounts are swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal
irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
May cause eye and skin irritation.
Not a fire or explosion hazard in solid form. Finely divided dust may
ignite and burn rapidly when mixed with air in the proper proportions.
Toxic metal fumes may be released in a fire situation.
ROUTES OF ENTRY
Eyes? YES Skin? YES Inhalation? YES Ingestion? YES
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYE CONTACT may cause irritation.
SKIN CONTACT may cause irritation.
INHALATION may cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Short-term
overexposure may cause a flu-like illness called metal fume fever.
Typically metal fume fever begins four to twelve hours after sufficient
exposure to freshly formed fumes. The first symptoms are a metallic
taste, dryness and irritation of the throat. Cough and shortness of
breath may occur along with headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, muscle
and joint pain, fever and chills. The syndrome runs its course in 24-48
hours.
INGESTION is harmful. May cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. COPPER poisoning can result in hemolytic anemia and kidney,
liver and spleen damage.
NOTE: The potential health effects described above only apply if dust or
fume is formed.

NTP? NO IARC? NO OSHA? NO
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS
Prolonged overexposure to PHOSPHORUS can cause gastrointestinal
distress, garlic breath, necrosis and deformity of the jaw. Systemic
effects such as cardiac, liver and kidney dysfunction may result due to
prolonged inhalation of fumes.
Prolonged or excessive exposures may result in argyria, a permanent
localized blue-grey discoloration of the eyes, skin or mucous membranes.
Prolonged exposure to silver can cause damage to the nasal septum.
Refer to Potential Health Effects.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
May adversely affect existing medical conditions, such as eye, skin,
respiratory, blood, liver and/or kidney ailments.
Individuals with Wilson's Disease are at increased risk of COPPER
poisoning.
NOTE: See Section 8 for Exposure Limits, Section 11 for Toxicological
Information and Section 12 for Ecological Information.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water. If irritation develops,
call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. If
irritation persists, call a physician.
INHALATION: If exposed to excessive levels of metal fumes, remove to
fresh air and seek medical attention.
INGESTION: Procedures normally not needed. If large quantities are
ingested, seek medical advice.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Use carbon dioxide, chemical foam or dry chemical. Use any means for
extinguishing surrounding fire.
Do NOT use water on metal fires.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus and protective clothing as specified in 29 CFR 1910.156.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Not a fire or explosion hazard in solid form. Finely divided dust may
ignite and burn rapidly when mixed with air in the proper proportions.
Toxic metal fumes may be released in a fire situation.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Contain spillage and scoop up or vacuum. Notification of the National
Response Center (800/424-8802) may be required. Refer to EPA, DOT and
applicable state and local regulations for current response information.
It is recommended that each user establish a spill prevention, control
and countermeasure plan (SPCC). Such plan should include procedures
applicable to proper storage, control and clean-up of spills, including
reuse or disposal as appropriate (see Section 13: Disposal
Considerations).
**NOTE** In the event of an accidental release of this material, the
above procedures should be followed. Additionally, proper exposure
controls and personal protection equipment should be used (see Section
8: Exposure Control/Personal Protection), and disposal of the material
should be in accordance with Section 13: Disposal Considerations.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Store in a cool, dry location away from incompatible materials.
Avoid contact with any dusts, mists or fumes resulting from the use of
this product.
Use only with adequate ventilation.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE LIMITS
INGREDIENT PEL-OSHA TLV-ACGIH
COPPER
CAS NO.: 7440-50-8 0.1 mg/m3 (Fume) 0.2 mg/m3 (Fume)
1 mg/m3 (Dust) 1 mg/m3 (Dust)
SILVER
CAS NO.: 7440-22-4 0.01 mg/m3 0.1 mg/m3
PHOSPHORUS
CAS NO.: 7723-14-0 0.1 mg/m3 (as 0.1 mg/m3 (as
Phosphorous Phosphorous
Yellow) Yellow)
NOTE: Both OSHA and the ACGIH list welding fumes as having an exposure
limit of 5 mg/m3 (total particulate not otherwise classified).
However, the ACGIH states that welding fumes must be tested frequently
for individual components which are likely to be present to determine
whether specific exposure limits are exceeded.
NOTE: The permissible exposure limits (PELs), threshold limit values
(TLVs), potential health effects statements and SARA hazard categories
may not be applicable as the hazardous ingredients listed are in the
solid form. If dust, powder or fume is generated then these statements
will be applicable.
Unless otherwise noted, all values are reported as 8-hour Time-Weighted
Averages (TWAs) and total dust (particulates only). All ACGIH TLVs refer
to the 1998 Standards. All OSHA PELs refer to 29 CFR Part 1910 Air
Contaminants: Final Rule, January 19, 1989.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If dust or fume is generated, a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator may be
necessary. Follow all requirements for respiratory programs and
selection set forth in the OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.139).
VENTILATION
General; local exhaust ventilation as necessary to control any air
contaminants to within their PELs or TLVs during the use of this
product.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Refer to ANSI/ASC Z49.1-94 (Safety in Welding, Cutting and Allied
Processes), published by the American Welding Society, for further
information on the selection of personal protective equipment.
Safety glasses (with side shields).
Body protection as necessary to prevent skin contact.
