Note: See Section 8 of this MSDS for exposure limit data for these ingredients. See Section 16 for the full text of the R-phrases above. Product Name: TurboTorch Professional, Viper Silver Brazing Flux Preparation Date: March 5, 2008 Page 2 of 9 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 3: Hazards Identification Preparation Hazards and Classification: Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Causes burns. USA: This material is considered hazardous by the OHSA hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). Canada: This is a controlled product under WHMIS. European Communities (EC): This preparation is classified as dangerous according to Directive 1999/45/EC and its amendments. Classifications: Toxic and Corrosive. Appearance, Color and Odor: White paste, odorless Primary Route(s) of Exposure: Inhalation, Eye contact, Skin contact, Ingestion. Exposure may be from contact to product as packaged and from particulates generated during use. Potential Health Effects: ACUTE (short term): see Section 8 for exposure controls Inhalation: Inhalation of particulates from the flux can be moderately to severely irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory system. Symptoms of over-exposure include coughing, sneezing and difficulty breathing. Ingestion: Toxic by ingestion. May cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion may result in damage to the tissues of the gastrointestinal system and systemic fluoride toxicity, which may be fatal. Skin: Severely irritating or corrosive to the skin. Causes burns with direct contact. Thermal decomposition of this product may result in the release of hydrogen fluoride. This substance may be absorbed through the skin, causing burns. Extreme over-exposure to hydrogen fluoride can be fatal through systemic fluoride poisoning. Eye: Product is irritating to the eyes. Causes eye burns with direct eye contact. CHRONIC (long term): see Section 11 for additional toxicological data Prolonged or repeated over-exposure by skin contact may cause dermatitis. Long-term over-exposure to fluorides can cause a deposit of fluorides in the bones and teeth, a condition called Fluorosis. This may cause pain, disability and mottling of the teeth. Fluorides can irritate the lungs and may cause bronchitis to develop with cough, phlegm and/or shortness of breath. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: May aggravate an existing dermatitis. Section 4: First Aid Measures Inhalation: To ensure your own safety before attempting rescue (e.g. Wear appropriate protective equipment, use the buddy system). Get immediate medical attention. Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. If breathing is stopped, trained personnel should begin artificial respiration (AR) or, if the heart has stopped, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately. Immediately transport victim to an emergency care facility. Eye Contact: Get immediate medical attention. Quickly and gently blot or brush away any chemical. Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 20- 30 minutes while holding the eyelids open. Neutral saline solution may be used as soon as it is available. Do not interrupt flushing. If necessary, keep emergency vehicle waiting. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the unaffected eye or onto the face. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Quickly transport victim to an emergency care facility. Product Name: TurboTorch Professional, Viper Silver Brazing Flux Preparation Date: March 5, 2008 Page 3 of 9 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 4: First Aid Measures, continued Skin Contact: Quickly and gently blot or brush away excess chemical. Remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods (e.g. watchbands, belts). Flush contaminated area with lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 20-30 minutes. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Do not interrupt flushing. If necessary, keep emergency vehicle waiting. Get medical attention if irritation or other symptoms occur. Ingestion: Get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness or is unconscious or convulsing. Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Quickly transport victim to an emergency care facility. Notes to Physician: Fluorides can reduce serum calcium resulting in potentially fatal hypocalcemia; if there are indications that a victim is suffering from the effects of fluoride over-exposure, then give soluble calcium or magnesium. Potassium can reduce blood pressure and cause coma. Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Extinguishing Media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed flux. Use carbon dioxide, halon, foam and dry chemical for extinguishing fires involving this flux. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: The flux paste is not flammable. Sensitivity to mechanical impact: Not sensitive Sensitivity to static discharge: Not sensitive Fire Fighting Instructions: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn. This material is corrosive to skin and presents a potential contact hazard to firefighters. Hazardous Combustion Products: During a fire, irritating and toxic gases may be generated. Toxic gases may include hydrogen fluoride, potassium oxides, fluorine and boron compounds. Hydrogen fluoride can penetrate the skin causing skin burns and systemic toxic effects. Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions: Wear all protective equipment. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Ventilate the area. Environmental Precautions: Do not allow product to reach sewage systems or ground water. Methods for Containment: Stop the spill if it is safe to do so. Methods for Clean-up: Scrape or scoop up the spilled material carefully, avoiding the generation of airborne dust. Put spilled material in suitable, labeled plastic waste container. Section 7: Handling and Storage Handling All employees who handle this material should be trained to handle it safety. Avoid breathing fumes and particulates of this material. Prevent all skin and eye contact. Do not ingest. Keep away from children. Use this material with adequate ventilation. Keep container closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling this product. Do not eat, drink, smoke while handling this product. Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Storage: Store in a cool, dry area. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Store away from acids. Keep away from sunlight sources of heat.
