HEALTH HAZARDS
We do not consider this product in the form it is sold to constitute a physical hazard or health hazard. Subsequent operations such as abrading, melting, welding, cutting or processing in any other fashion may produce potentially hazardous dust or fumes which can be inhaled, swallowed, or come in contact with skin or eyes.
|
Primary entry routes:
|
Eyes:
|
Flush well with running water to remove particle. Get medical attention.
|
Skin:
|
Brush off excess dust. Wash area well with soap and water.
|
Inhalation:
|
Remove to fresh air, if condition continues, consult physician.
|
Ingestion:
|
Seek medical help if large quantities of material have been ingested.
|
Effects of exposure:
|
No toxic effects would be expected from exposure of solid form of specialty metal. Prolonged, repeated exposure to fumes or dusts generated during heating, cutting, brazing or welding may or may not cause adverse health effects associated with the listed constituents in excess of OSHA permissible exposure limits.
|
IMPORTANT:
|
Determine actual exposure by industrial hygiene monitoring.
|
Possible signs and symptoms of exposure to dust, welding, fumes and gasses:
|
Short-term exposure:
|
Metallic taste; nausea; tightness of chest; fever; irritation of eyes, nose, throat and skin; loss of consciousness/death due to welding gasses or lack of oxygen.
|
Long-term exposure:
|
There are no adverse effects form products in their solid form. Adverse effects may or may not result from long term (chronic) exposure to dust, fume, gasses, etc. that occur by way of subsequent operations on the product. Some studies would associate one (or more) of constituents (per section II)with the potential for neurological, pulmonary, respiratory, skin or other disease. Chromium, cobalt and nickel in various chemical compounds have been identified as suspect human carcinogens by the I.A.R.C., N.T.P. Annual Report. We believe there are no reliable scientific studies, which show that workers exposed to operations upon our alloys suffer increased incidence of lung cancer or other disease because of their exposure to the forms of chromium, nickel or other elements in our products.
|
Aggravation of pre-existing respiratory or allergic conditions may occur in some workers.
|
SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
Steps to be taken in case of release or spill:
|
N/A
|
Waste disposal method:
|
Solids. Sell as scrap for reuse.
|
Dust, etc:
|
Follow Federal, State and Local regulations regarding disposal.
|
SPECIFIC PROTECTION INFORMATION
Ventilation requirements:
|
General: Recommended (to keep airborne concentration of dust and fumes below ACGIH-TLV’S)
|
Local:
|
As required.
|
Personal protective equipment:
|
If fumes, misting or dust condition occurs and T.L.V. as indicated in Section II is exceeded, provide NIOSH approved respirators.

As required.
|
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
USE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES TO PREVENT ACCUMULATIONS OF DUSTS AND TO KEEP AIRBORNE DUST CONCENTRATIONS AT A MINIMUM.
THIS MATERIAL IS POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED WITH COATINGS SUCH AS OILS FOR PRESERVATIVES AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS. IF MATERIAL IS CONTAMINATED, SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS (SUCH AS PROCESS CONTROL AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT APPROPIATE TO THE NATURE OF THE SUSPECTED CONTAMINANTS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID RESULTING EXPOSURES WHEN HANDLING, CUTTING (THERMAL OR MECHANICAL) AND/OR HEATING OR MELTING.
While the information set forth on this Material Data Safety Sheet is believed to be accurate, as of the effective date, Teledyne Rodney Metals makes no representations regarding accuracy or completeness of the information and assume no liability for any loss, damage, or injury of any kind which may result from or arise out of the use or reliance on the information by any person.
