SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING: Avoid exposure to dust and do not ingest. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Some individuals can
develop and allergic reaction to certain materials. See American National Standard Z49.1, Safety in Welding and Cutting, published
by the "American Welding Society," 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29CFR 1910), U.S.
Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O. Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954

STORAGE: Keep material sealed and dry before use and store a cool location and in the original labeled container. After using, keep
remaining product sealed and dry and keep powder in original labeled container and store in a cool and dry location.

SECTION 7 NOTES: None

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and precautionary label on this product.
Always use adequate ventilation and wear appropriate personal protection. Do not breathe welding fumes and gases; they are
dangerous to your health.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Proper ventilation must be maintained.
VENTILATION: Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the spray area, or both, to keep the fumes and gases below the TLV's in
the workers breathing and the general area. Train the worker to keep his head out of the fumes. Monitor fume levels and do not
exceed permissible exposure limits or values.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use respirable fume respirator or air supplied respirator when spraying in a confined space or
where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure below the TLV's.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses with side shields, face shield, and/or goggles to protect against airborne dust.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear gloves when using or prolonged contact with skin or repeated contact with skin is likely.
Wear hand and body protection to prevent injury. See ANSI Z49.1 for further information.
SKIN PROTECTION: Individuals having sensitive skin may find it beneficial to use a barrier cream or moisturizer when
excessive or prolonged contact with skin is likely.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Do not eat or consume beverages in the work area.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: Use industrial hygiene monitoring equipment to ensure that exposure does not exceed applicable
national exposure limits.

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - Powder spraying may create one or more of the following health hazards:

FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health.

PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY are the respiratory system. Other possible routes are eyes, ingestion, and/or skin contact.
PREEXISTING respiratory or allergic conditions may be aggravated in some individuals (i.e. asthma, emphysema).

Powder spray fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being sprayed,
the process, procedure, and the powder used. Other conditions which also influence the composition and quantity of the fumes and
gases to which workers may be exposed include: coatings on the metal being sprayed (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), the
volume of the work area, the quality and the amount of ventilation, position of the worker's head with respect to the fume plume, as
well as the presence of contaminants in the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from cleaning and degreasing
activities).

When the material is consumed, fume and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and form from the
ingredients listed in Section 3. Fume and decomposition products, not the ingredients in the powder, are important. Decomposition
products include those originating from the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of materials in Section 3, plus those from the base
metal and coating, etc., as noted above. These components are virtually always present as complex oxides and not as metals

(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society). Reasonably expected fume constituents of the fume could
include: complex oxides of chromium. The table below lists reasonably expected fumes that may be generated:

CAS Exposure Limit (mg/m3)

SUBSTANCE NUMBER OSHA PEL ACGIH-TLV
Chromium (VI) not listed 0.005 0.05 (as Cr VI)

Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The fume limit for Cr VI (5 micrograms/m³) may be
reached before the ACGIH recommended general welding fume limit of 5 mg/m³ is reached. Monitor fume levels and Cr VI level.
Train workers about the hazards of Cr (VI). Read and comply with the OSHA permissible exposure limits for hexavalent
chromium (CrVI), Fed. Reg. 71 – 10099 (specifically 29 CFR 1910.1026, 29 CFR 1915.1026, and 29 CFR 1926.1126). For
CrVI, OSHA requires: “The employer shall perform initial monitoring to determine the 8-hour TWA exposure for each employee
on the basis of a sufficient number of personal breathing zone air samples to accurately characterize full shift exposure on each shift,
for each job classification, in each work area”. Specialized equipment is required for monitoring Cr (VI) concentration in the
workplace. OSHA Analytical Method Number ID-215 for area and breathing zone sampling and OSHA Analytical Method Number
W4001 for wipe samples are listed on the OSHA website - www.osha.gov -as methods for measuring Cr(VI). This standard is
complex and the employer should contact an occupational health professional for doing the Cr(VI) monitoring and all other fume
monitoring. Also see AWS Publications AWS C2.1 "Recommended Safe Practices for Thermal Spraying" and AWS TSS,
"Thermal Spraying, Practice, Theory and Application" for more information on thermal spraying.

SECTION 8 NOTES: In other countries the exposure limits listed above may be different and the appropriate country exposure
limits should be used.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY-PRODUCTS: Metallic oxides.

SECTION 10 NOTES: None

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Threshold Limit Value: The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOS (not otherwise specified) is 5 mg/m³.
The ACGIH 1999 preface states: "The TLV-TWA should be used as guides in the control of health hazards and should not be used
as firm lines between safe and dangerous concentrations." See Section 8 for specific fume constituents that may modify the TLV.

SHORT TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE to spray powder fumes may result in discomfort such as metal fume fever,
dizziness, nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. CHROMIUM- Inhalation of chromium can cause irritation of
nasal membranes and skin.

LONG TERM (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE is believed by some investigators to affect pulmonary functions. Target organs
are eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Long term overexposure to HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM (CrVI) is reported to cause lung
cancer in humans.
