SECTION  6    HEALTH HAZARD DATA

 

EXPOSURE LIMITS:   Ingested LD (50):              NE g/Kg                        Inhaled LC (50):     NE  g/Kg

 

            Primary exposure during use is to fumes which may contain ammonia and organic decomposition products.

 

 

 

PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY:       (   )   Skin         (X)   Eyes        (X)    Inhalation         (X)  Ingestion

 

TARGET ORGANS:            Fumes during heating may irritate eyes, mucous membranes and respiratory system.

 

 

 

EFFECTS OF ACUTE (severe short-term) EXPOSURE:

 

            INHALATION:                Fumes during heating may irritate mucous membranes and upper respiratory

                                                system.

 

            SKIN CONTACT:            Fumes may be mildly irritating to skin.

 

            SKIN ABSORPTION:            None.

 

            EYE CONTACT:            Material and fumes during heating are irritating to eyes.

 

            INGESTION:                  Not likely to occur.

 

EFFECTS OF CHRONIC (prolonged) EXPOSURE:

            Breathing fumes during use may cause respiratory irritation, headache and irritation of mucous membranes.

            Prolonged or repeated skin contact can result in a rash.

 

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:            Chemical hypersensitivity, asthma, and other respiratory conditions.

 

CARCINOGEN               (   )   NTP         (   )   OSHA           (   )   IARC           (X)  Not Listed

 

EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES:  Seek medical assistance for further treatment, observation and support if needed.

 

            EYE CONTACT:            For burns flush immediately with cool water.  For fume irritation use eye drops

                                                and remove from exposure.

 

            SKIN CONTACT:            For burns flush immediately with cool water.  If a rash develops from the flux

                                                fumes, remove person from exposure and wash skin with soap and water.

 

            INHALATION:                Remove person from exposure to fumes.

 

            INGESTION:                  NA

SECTION  7    PROCEDURES FOR MATERIAL CONTROL

 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED:      NA

 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS:        Solder can be reclaimed.

 

CAUTION:   Empty containers may contain product residue.  Observe all label precautions.

 

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:   Avoid breathing fumes generated during use.

 

SECTION  8    PROTECTIVE MEASURES

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:

            Usually not required.  When ventilation is not sufficient to remove fumes from the breathing zone, a

            cartridge-type respirator should be worn.

 

PROTECTIVE GLOVES:   Usually not required.                       

 

EYE PROTECTION:   When soldering, use goggles or face shield.

 

VENTILATION TO BE USED:  

            Provide adequate exhaust ventilation (general and/or local) to meet TLV requirements.

 

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT:    None.

 

HYGIENIC WORK PRACTICES:     Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking.
