SECTION 3 - PHYSICAL DATA
Wire, grey to silver in color. Solder may be solid or contain an inner core of flux.
SECTION 4 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA Nonflammable. Open flame and sparks can ignite combustibles, See ANSI/ASC Z49.1-1983 Section 6.
SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Exposure - Section 1 lists nominal composition of solders. Section 6 lists exposure limits for hazardous de composition products which might be present in fume generated during soldering. Actual exposure should be determined by monitoring the fume in the operator's breathing zone.
Primary Route of Exposure - Inhalation of fume. Possible lead dust ingestion from smoking or eating after handling
lead bearing solders.
Pre-Existing Medical Conditions - Individuals with impaired pulmonary functions or illness may have symptoms exacerbated by fume irritants.
Possible Effects of Exposure - Ingestion of lead dust or inhalation of lead oxide fume is one of the main hazards. Over exposure can produce symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness, body aches, and anemia. Symptoms are similar to other illnesses and require medical verification. Lead accumulates in the body and small amounts can build up over a period of time to toxic levels. Short term exposure to cadmium fume causes irritation of the nose and throat. Chest pain, cough, fever or shortness of breath may develop after several hours. Severe over exposure can cause pulmonary edema. Prolonged inhalation exposure may cause lung or kidney damage. Cadmium compounds should be considered suspected carcinogens based on some animal tests and recent epidemiological studies. Tin and antimony fume may cause metal fume fever, characterized by fever, body ache, chills. Fumes from acid and rosin core can irritate nose, throat. Zinc chloride in acid core solder may irritate the skin
Emergency First Aid - Remove from dust or fume exposure. If breathing has stopped perform ar^nai resp' a io v Summon medical aid immediately.
flux fume should be considered in evaluation of hazards.

SECTION 6 - REACTIVITY DATA
Solid Wire
Soldering fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity are dependent upon the metal being soldered, the process, procedures, and filler metals 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 soldered (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), the number of operators and the volume of the work area, the quality and amount of ventilation, the position of the operator'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).
A stable material in closed containers at room temperature under normal storage and handling conditions. This material can be considered a weak acid. It can be mildly corrosive to some metals, especially when hot.
Zinc chloride flux in acid core solders is incompatible with cyanides, may release HCN gas when mixed with zinc chloride. If combined with sulfides, the liquid flux may release H2S gas.

One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which workers are exposed is to take an air sample in the worker's breathing zone. See ANSI/AWS F1.1, available from the American Welding Society. P.0. Box 351040. Miami, Florida 33135.

SECTION 8 AND 9 - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary label on the product. See American
tional Standard Z49.1, Safety in Welding and Cutting published by the American Welding Society. P.O. Box 351040, miarni, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29CFR1910), U.S. Government Printing Office. Washington. D.C. 20402 for more detail on many of the following.
Ventilation Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc (or flame) to keep the fumes and gases below TLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general area. Train the employee to keep his head out of the fumes. See ANSI/ASC Z49.1 Section 5.
Respiratory Protection Use respirable fume respirator or air supplied respirator when soldering in confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposed below TLV.
t
Eye Protection Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens of appropriate shade number (see ANSI/ASC Z49.1 -Section 4.2). Provide protection screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
Protective Clothing Wear head and body protection which help to prevent injury from sparks and flame. See ANSI Z491.1. At a minimum this includes gloves and a protective face shield, and may include arm protectors, aprons, hat, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial clothing.
Other Precautions wash hands thoroughly before smoking or eating after using lead bearing solders.
