PRINCIPAL HEALTH EFFECTS:

Toxic effects described in animals from exposure to component(s) of this product by inhalation,

ingestion, skin or eye contact include: Skin sensitization, skin irritation, moderate to severe eye

irritation, liver effects, kidney effects.

Human health effects of over exposure to components of this product may include: Allergic skin

rashes, skin irritation with discomfort or rash, shortness of breath.

OTHER EFFECTS AND ADDITIONAL HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION:

Skin sensitization may be caused in susceptible humans. Molten solder alloys consisting of lead, tin,

silver, bismuth, antimony and/or indium do not produce significant quantities of fume below 900

degrees F.

SKIN CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water.

EYE CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15

minutes. Call a physician.

INHALATION: If large amounts are inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial

respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth.

INGESTION: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting, immediately give two glasses of water or

activated charcoal slurry. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a

physician.

INSTRUCTIONS TO PHYSICIAN: To prepare activated charcoal slurry, suspend 50 g activated

charcoal in 400-ml water in a plastic bottle and shake well. Administer 5 ml/kg of body weight, or

350 ml for an average adult.

FLASH POINT: N/A

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This product does not present any unusual fire and

explosion hazards. When he ated to high temperatures, lead emits toxic fumes.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon dioxide or dry chemical.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Wear full protective clothing and a self contained,

full face-piece, positive pressure breathing apparatus. Avoid contact with burning material. At

elevated temperatures toxic fumes may be formed.

Material is extremely thick and will not flow out. FOR SMALL SPILLS: Wipe up or absorb with

absorbent material. FOR LARGER SPILLS: If flammable vapors or liquids may be present, turn off

electrical devices and other sources of possible spark or flame. Do not allow spill to spread to or

intentionally flush spill to sewer or ground. Wash area thoroughly. Adequately ventilate area.

Spill residue, cleaning rags and absorbent can be considered "hazardous".

Storage Temperature: Store at 42-47 F, higher temperature will shorten the usable life of the

product but will not pose hazards.

Storage Pressure: Store containers at ambient pressure. See additional information in Section 8

PROTECTION INFORMATION: Use with adequate local ventilation sufficient to maintain

exposures below application limits. Appropriate respiratory protection must also be used if

exposures cannot be maintained below applicable limits.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection must be used if exposures cannot be

maintained below applicable exposure limits through the use of ventilation and other engineered

controls. Full- face respiratory protection may be required for substances that are corrosive or

irritating to the eyes. Cartridge, canister or any negative pressure respirator should never be used in

areas where the contaminant concentration levels may exceed the IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to

Life and Health) value or is unknown.

GLOVES: Gloves should be worn whenever the possibility of skin or hand contact exists.

OTHER PROTECTION PRACTICES: Appropriate eye protection, e.g. chemical splash goggles,

should be used if the possibility of eye contact exists. Protective outer clothing should be used

where the possibility of body contact exists. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out

of the work place. Do not smoke, consume or store food or drinks in areas where the product is

stored. After handling the product, wash hands and face thoroughly before leaving the work area.
