**THIS SUBSTANCE IS REGULATED BY OSHA AS A PARTICULATE NOT OTHERWISE
REGULATED (PNOR). THE EXPOSURE LIMIT LISTED FOR OSHA REFERS TO TOTAL DUST;
THE OSHA PEL FOR THE RESPIRABLE FRACTION IS 5 MG/M3.
SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
OPERATIONS SUCH AS WELDING, GRINDING, POLISHING, MELTING, AND BRAZING MAY
CAUSE DUST OR FUME GENERATION WHICH CAN RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS
PRESENT IN THE ALLOY.
NOTE:
HEALTH EFFECTS LISTED ARE FOR EXPOSURE TO METALLURGICAL POWDERS, DUST, OR
MIST FROM ALTERING THE TOOL. NO HEALTH EFFECTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FOR
EXPOSURE TO THIS MATERIAL IN SOLID FORM.
INHALATION:
IRRITANT/SENSITIZER:
250 MG(Cr)/M3, 35 MG(V)/M3 OR 10 MG(Co)/M3 IS IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE
AND HEALTH.
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE:
SYMPTOMS OF METAL FUME FEVER INCLUDING CHILLS, FEVER, SWEATING, NAUSEA, AND
COUGH MAY APPEAR. METAL FUME FEVER BEGINS 4 TO 12 HOURS AFTER EXPOSURE AND
LASTS 24 HOURS WITHOUT CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE. OTHER EFFECTS CAUSED BY
DUST AND FUME INHALATION INCLUDE METALLIC TASTE, EYES, NOSE, AND THROAT
IRRITATION, WHEEZING, DIFFICULTY BREATHING, AND CHEST PAIN.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE:
MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, BRONCHITIS, ALLERGIC RESPIRATORY REACTION,
OBSTRUCTED AIRWAYS, BUILD-UP OF DUST IN THE LUNGS, DAMAGE TO LUNG TISSUE,
AND LUNG DISEASE, WITH SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE,
ESPECIALLY INFLAMMATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT, NOSE AND THROAT
IRRITATION, VIOLENT COUGHING, WHEEZING, RASPING, AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH.
THERE MAY ALSO BE BLOOD CHANGES, LIVER AND KIDNEY DAMAGE, AND AN INCREASED
SUSCEPTIBILITY TO RESPIRATORY CHANGES.
SKIN CONTACT: IRRITANT.
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE:
MAY CAUSE INFLAMMATION AND/OR RASH (IRRITANT OR ALLERGIC CONTACT
DERMATITIS).
EYE CONTACT: IRRITANT.
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION WITH REDNESS, PAIN, AND ITCHING.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: MAY CAUSE CONJUNCTIVITIS.
INGESTION: IRRITANT.

ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE:
INGESTION OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF STEEL DUST IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. HOWEVER,
INGESTION OF SMALL AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR BY EATING OR SMOKING WITH CONTAMINATED
HANDS.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE:
MAY PRODUCE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS FOR ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE. MAY ALSO ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE PANCREAS, THYROID GLAND, HEART, OR BONE MARROW.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
IF SYMPTOMS OF PULMONARY INVOLVEMENT DEVELOP (COUGHING, WHEEZING, SHORTNESS
OF BREATH), REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AREA TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING
HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. KEEP AFFECTED PERSON WARM AND
AT REST. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN CONTACT:
IF IRRITATION OR RASH OCCURS, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES
IMMEDIATELY. WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP OR MILD DETERGENT AND LARGE
AMOUNTS OF WATER UNTIL NO EVIDENCE OF MATERIAL REMAINS (APPROXIMATELY 15-20
MINUTES). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE CONTACT:
IF IRRITATION OCCURS, WASH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER,
OCCASIONALLY LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER LIDS, UNTIL NO EVIDENCE OF MATERIAL
REMAINS (APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MINUTES). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
INGESTION:
IF THIS MATERIAL HAS BEEN SWALLOWED AND PERSON IS CONSCIOUS, IMMEDIATELY
GIVE PERSON LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN UNCONSCIOUS
PERSON DRINK OR VOMIT. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. INDUCE VOMITING
ONLY IF SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED BY A PHYSICIAN.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
FINE METAL PARTICLES PRODUCED WHEN GROUND, SAWED, ETC. CAN BURN. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF THESE PARTICLES IN THE AIR MAY PRESENT AN EXPLOSION
HAZARD.
FLASH POINT: NONE REPORTED.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
IN SOLID FINISHED FORM, WILL NOT BURN. USE WATER TO COOL.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES:
DO NOT RELEASE RUNOFF FROM FIRE CONTROL METHODS TO SEWARS OR WATERWAYS.
BECAUSE FIRE MAY PRODUCE TOXIC THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS, WEAR A
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) WITH A FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN
PRESSURE-DEMAND OR POSITIVE-PRESSURE MODE.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
SWEEP UP WITH MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DUST GENERATION AND PLACE IN SUITABLE CLEAN,
2/18/10 11:57 AM
Grainger MSDS Lookup
6 of 9
http://complyplus.grainger.com/grainger/msds.asp?sheetid=3125777
DRY CONTAINERS FOR LATER DISPOSAL OR RECLAMATION. RESIDUE SHOULD BE CLEANED
UP USING A HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE FILTER VACUUM OR WET CLEAN UP.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
OPERATIONS SUCH AS WELDING, DUST GENERATION, OR FUME GENERATION CAN RESULT
IN HAZARDOUS EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS PRESENT IN THE ALLOY IF NECESSARY
PRECAUTIONS AREN'T TAKEN. PROTECT AGAINST DUST AND FUME INHALATION AND SKIN
OR EYE CONTACT. USE ONLY WITH LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION. IF THE STEEL IS
CONTAMINATED WITH OIL OR OTHER COMPOUNDS, TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT
ADDITIONAL EXPOSURE TO THE CONTAMINANTS WHEN HANDLING, WELDING, CUTTING,
AND/OR HEATING OR MELTING.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
STORE IN A MANNER THAT PREVENTS ACCIDENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION FROM
TRACES OF INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS OR WETTING OILS.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION:
PROVIDE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION OR GENERAL DILUTION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE
LEVELS BELOW THE PEL AND TLV.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
0.05 MG (Co)/M3 - SINGLE-USE APPROVED DUST AND MIST RESPIRATOR.
0.5 MG (Co)/M3 - DUST MASK, EXCEPT SINGLE-USE RESPIRATOR.
1 MG (Co)/M3 - DUST MASK, EXCEPT SINGLE-USE AND QUARTER-MASK RESPIRATOR.
FUME OR HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR.
5 MG (Co)/M3 - HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE RESPIRATOR WITH A FULL FACEPIECE.
SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATOR WITH A FULL FACEPIECE, HELMET OR HOOD.
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH A FULL FACEPIECE.

FACEPIECE OPERATED IN PRESSURE-DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE-PRESSURE MODE.
FIREFIGHTING:
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH A FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN
PRESSURE-DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE-PRESSURE MODE.
CLOTHING:
EMPLOYEE MUST WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT
REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT WITH THIS SUBSTANCE. SOILED CLOTHING
SHOULD BE LAUNDERED SEPARATELY.
GLOVES:
EMPLOYEE MUST WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE GLOVES OR BARRIER CREAMS TO
PREVENT CONTACT WITH THIS SUBSTANCE.
EYE PROTECTION:
SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS OR GOGGLES ARE RECOMMENDED. WHERE THERE IS
ANY POSSIBILITY THAT AN EMPLOYEE'S EYES MAY BE EXPOSED TO THIS SUBSTANCE,
THE EMPLOYER SHOULD PROVIDE AN EYE WASH FOUNTAIN WITHIN THE IMMEDIATE WORK
