SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to
American National Standard Z49.1 for fire prevention during the use of welding
and allied procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of
both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume
and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are
virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. The
present OSHA permissible exposure limits for nickel is 1mg/m3 , which will
result in a significant reduction from the 5mg/m3 general fume level. Gaseous
reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and
nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc.

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

 SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise
Classified) is 5mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for
specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC)
OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is believed by some
investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn
skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the
American Red Cross.

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 both, to keep the fumes
and gases below the TLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general area.
Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes.
Respiratory Protection:
Use respirable fume respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in
confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure
below TLV.
Eye Protection:
Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb, start
with a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next
lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective
screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
Protective Clothing:
Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from
radiation, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this
includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield and may include arm
protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial
clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate
himself from work and ground.

N.A.

SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to
American National StandardZ49.1 for fire prevention during the use of welding
and allied procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of
both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder's head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the
presence of contaminants in the atmosphere (such as chlorinatedhydrocarbon
vapors from cleaning and degreasing activities).

When the electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume
and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are
virtually always present as complex compoundsand not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. The
present OSHA permissible exposure limit for hexavalent chromium is 0.05mg/m3
and for nickel is 1mg/m3, which will result in a significant reduction from
the 5mg/m3 general fume level. Gaseous reaction products may include carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the
radiation from the arc.

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

Magna 38 Page 1
 SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise
Classified) is 5 mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for
specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE towelding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC)
OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is believed by some
investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn
skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the
American Red Cross.
Carcinogenicity
OSHA regulated: Chromium, Nickel.

SECTION VI - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE/APPLICABLE CONTROL

MEASURES
Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary
label on this product. See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in
Welding and Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, P.O. Box
351040, Miami, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 for more details on many of
the following:
Ventilation:
Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes
and gases below the TLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general area.
Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes.
Respiratory Protection:
Use respirable fume respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in
confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure
below TLV.
Eye Protection:
Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb, start
with a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next
lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective
screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
Protective Clothing:
Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from
radiation, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this
includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield and may include arm
protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial
clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate
himself from work and ground.
Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks:

Magna 38 Page 2
Not applicable.
Waste Disposal Method:
Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product,
residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable
manner, in full compliance with Federal, State and Local regulations.

SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to
American National Standard Z49.1 for fire prevention during the use of welding
and allied procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of
both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume
and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are
virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. Gaseous
reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and
nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc.

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

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise

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 IV for
specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC)
OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is believed by some
investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn
skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to
American National Standard Z49.1 for fire prevention during the use of welding
and allied procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of
both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume
and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are
virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. Gaseous
reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and
nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc.

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

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise

Magna 55 T.I.G. Page 1

Classified) is 5mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for
specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC)
OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is believed by some
investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn
skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the
American Red Cross.
Carcinogenicity
None

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise
Classified) is 5 mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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
IV for specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM
(CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is
believed by some investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can
injure eyes and burn skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the American Red
Cross.
Carcinogenicity
None

SECTION VI - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE/APPLICABLE CONTROL MEASURES

Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary
label on this product. See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in
Welding and Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, P.O. Box
351040, Miami, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 for more details on many
of the following:
Ventilation:
Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes
and gases below the TLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general
area. Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes.
Respiratory Protection:
Use respirable fume respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in
confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure
below TLV.
Eye Protection:
Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb, start
with a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next
lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide
protective screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
Protective Clothing:
Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from
radiation, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this
includes welder's gloves and protective face shield and may include arm
protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial
clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to

Magna 75F Page 2

insulate himself from work and ground.
Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks:
Not applicable.
Waste Disposal Method:
Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any
product, residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally
acceptable manner, in full compliance with Federal, State and Local
regulations.

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to
American National Standard Z49.1 for fire prevention during the use of
welding and allied procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of
both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume
and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components
are virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. The
present OSHA permissible exposure limit for nickel is 1mg/m3, which will
result in a significant reduction from the 5mg/m3 general fume level. Gaseous
reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and
nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc.

One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and
gases to which workers are exposed is to take an air sample inside the
welders helmet, if worn, or in the worker's breathing zone. ANSI/AWS F1.1,

SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to American
National Standard Z49.1 for fire prevention during the use of welding and allied
procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both
are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume and
gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are important.
Decomposition products include those originating from the volatilization,
reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I plus those from base
metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are virtually always
present as complex compounds and not as metals (Characterization of Arc Welding
Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. Gaseous
reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and
nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc.

One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and gases
to which workers are exposed is to take an air sample inside the welders helmet,

Magna 100 Page 1

if worn, or in the worker's breathing zone. ANSI/AWS F1.1, available from the
American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise
Classified) is 5 mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for specific
fume constituents which may modify this TLV.

Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE
to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness, nausea, or dryness
or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE may
cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is believed by some investigators to
affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin. ELECTRIC
SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.

Emergency & First Aid Procedures:

Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the American
Red Cross.
Carcinogenicity
None

SECTION VI - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE/APPLICABLE CONTROL MEASURES

Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary label
on this product. See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in Welding and
Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, FL
33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 for more details on many of the following:

Ventilation:
Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or bkth, to keep the fumes and
gases below the PLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general area. Train
the welder to keep his head out of the fumes.

Respiratory Protection:
Use respirable fume respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in
confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure
below TLV.

Eye Protection:
Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb, start with
a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next lighter
shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective screens
and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.

Protective Clothing:
Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from radiation,
sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this includes
welder's gloves and protective face shield and may include arm protectors,
aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial clothing. Train

Magna 100 Page 2

the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate himself from work
and ground.

Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks:

Not applicable.

Waste Disposal Method:

Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product,
residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable manner,
in full compliance with Federal, State and Local regulations.

Notes: We believe the statements, technical information and

recommendations contained herein are reliable, but they are given

Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb,
start with a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to
the next lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone.
Provide protective screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield
others.

Magna 210 Page 2

Protective Clothing:
Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from
radiation, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum,
this includes welder's gloves and protective face shield and may
include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as
dark substantial clothing. Train the welder not to touch live
electrical parts and to insulate himself from work and ground.
Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks:
Not applicable.
Waste Disposal Method:
Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any
product, residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally
acceptable manner, in full compliance with Federal, State and Local
regulations.

SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer
to American National Standard Z49.1 for fire prevention during the use
of welding and allied procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and
quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the
process, procedures and electrodes 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 welded
(such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), number of welds and volume
of work area, quality and amount of ventilation, position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition

products are different in percent and form from the ingredients listed
in Section I. Fume and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients
in the electrode, are important. Decomposition products include those
originating from the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the
materials shown in Section I plus those from base metal, coating, etc.
as noted above. These components are virtually always present as
complex compounds and not as metals (Characterization of Arc Welding
Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this

product includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in

Magna 303 Page 1

Section I. The present OSHA permissible exposure limit for hexavalent
chromium is 0.05mg/m3, which will result in a significant reduction
from the 5mg/m3 general fume level. Gaseous reaction products may
include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides
may be formed by the radiation from the arc.

One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes

and gases to which workers are exposed is to take an air sample inside
the welders helmet, if worn, or in the worker's breathing zone.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not
Otherwise Classified) is 5 mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for specific fume constituents which
may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as:
dizziness, nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes.
LONG TERM (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or
pneumoconiosis and is believed by some investigators to affect
pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin. ELECTRIC
SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the
American Red Cross.

None

SECTION VI - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE/APPLICABLE CONTROL MEASURES

Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary label on this
product. See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in Welding and Cutting, published
by the American Welding Society, P.O.Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206
(29 C.F.R. 1910), 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 both, to keep the fumes and gases
below the TLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general area. Train the welder to
keep his head out of the fumes.

Respiratory Protection:
Use respirable fume respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in confined space
or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure below TLV.

Magna 307 Page 2

Eye Protection:
Wear helmet or use face shield with filler lens. As a rule of thumb, start with a shade
which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next lighter shade which gives
sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective screens and flash goggles, if
necessary, to shield others.

Protective Clothing:
Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks
and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this includes welder's gloves and a
protective face shield and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection,
as well as dark substantial clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts
and to insulate himself from work and ground.

Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks:

Not applicable.

Waste Disposal Method:

Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product, residue,
disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable manner, in full compliance
with Federal, State and Local regulations.

Notes: We believe the statements, technical information and recommendations contained

herein are reliable, but they are given without warranty or guarantee of any
kind, express or implied, and we assume no responsibility for any loss, damage,
or expense, direct or consequential, arising out of their use.

SECTION III – FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to American
National StandardZ49.1 for fire prevention during the use of welding and allied
procedures.

SECTION IV – REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are
dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and electrodes 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 welded (such as paint,
plating, or galvanizing), number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of
ventilation, position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are different in
percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume and gas decomposition
products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are important. Decomposition products
include those originating from the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials
shown in Section I plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These
components are virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product includes
fluorides and a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. The present
OSHA permissible exposure limits for hexavalent chromium is 0.05mg/m3 and for nickel is

Magna 393 Page 1

1mg/m3, which will result in a significant reduction from the 5mg/m3 general fume level.
Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and
nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc.

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

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise Classified) is 5
mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.

Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE to welding
fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness, nausea, or dryness ot irritation of
nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or

When the electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume
and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are
virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. The
present OSHA permissible exposure limits for nickel is 1mg/m3, which will
result in a significant reduction from the 5mg/m3 general fume level. Gaseous
reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and
nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc.

gases to which workers are exposed is to take an air sample inside the welders
helmet, if worn, or in the worker's breathing zone. ANSI/AWS F1.1, available
from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise
Classified) is 5mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for
specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC)
OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is believed by some
investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn
skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the
American Red Cross.
Carcinogenicity
OSHA regulated: Nickel.

SECTION VI - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE/APPLICABLE CONTROL

MEASURES
Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary
label on this product. See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in
Welding and Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, P.O. Box
351040, Miami, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 for more details on many of
the following:
Ventilation:
Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes
and gases below the TLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general area.
Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes.
Respiratory Protection:
Use respirable fume respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in
confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure
below TLV.
Eye Protection:
Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb, start
with a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next
lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective
screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
Protective Clothing:
Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from

Magna 402 Page 2

radiation, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this
includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield and may include arm
protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial
clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate
himself from work and ground.
Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks:
Not applicable.
Waste Disposal Method:
Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product,
residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable
manner, in full compliance with Federal, State and Local regulations.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of
both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder'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).

N.A.

SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to
American National Standard Z49.1 for fire prevention during the use of welding
and allied procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of
both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume
and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are
virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. The
present OSHA permissible exposure limit for hexavalent chromium is 0.05mg/m3,
which will result in a significant reduction from the 5mg/m3 general fume
level. Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon
dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the
arc.

One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and
gases to which workers are exposed is to take an air sample inside the welders

helmet, if worn, or in the worker's breathing zone. ANSI/AWS F1.1, available
from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise
Classified) is 5mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for
specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC)
OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is believed by some
investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn
skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the
American Red Cross.
Carcinogenicity
OSHA regulated: Chromium.

SECTION VI - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE/APPLICABLE CONTROL

MEASURES
Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary
label on this product. See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in
Welding and Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, P.O. Box
351040, Miami, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 for more details on many of
the following:
Ventilation:
Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes
and gases below the TLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general area.
Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes.
Respiratory Protection:
Use respirable fume respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in
confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure
below TLV.
Eye Protection:
Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb, start
with a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next
lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective
screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
Protective Clothing:
Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from
radiation, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this
includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield and may include arm
protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial

Magna 440 T.I.G. Page 2

clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate
himself from work and ground.
Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks:
Not applicable.
Waste Disposal Method:
Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product,
residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable
manner, in full compliance with Federal, State and Local regulations.

Notes: We believe the statements, technical information and recommendations

contained herein are reliable, but they are given without warranty or
guarantee of any kind, express or implied, and we assume no
responsibility for any loss, damage, or expense, direct or
consequential, arising out of their use.

Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary
label on this product. See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in
Welding and Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, P.O. Box
351040, Miami, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), 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 both, to keep the fumes
and gases below the TLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general area.
Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes.
Respiratory Protection:
Use respirable fume respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in
confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure
below TLV.
Eye Protection:
Wear helmet or use face shield with filler lens. As a rule of thumb, start
with shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next lighter
shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective screens
and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
Protective Clothing:

Magna 711 Page 2

Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from
radiation sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this
include welder's gloves and a protective face shield and may include arm
protectors aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial
clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate
himself from work and ground.
Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks:
Not applicable.
Waste Disposal Method:
Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product
residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable
manner in full compliance with Federal, State and Local regulations.

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to
American National Standard Z49.1 for fire prevention during the use of welding
and allied procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of
both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume
and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are
virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes fluorides and a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in
Section I. Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon
dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the
arc.

One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and

Magna 720 Page 1

gases to which workers are exposed is to take an air sample inside the welders
helmet, if worn, or in the worker's breathing zone. ANSI/AWS F1.1, available
from the American Welding Society, P.O.Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:
The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise
Classified) is 5 mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for
specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC)
OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is believed by some
investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn
skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.

important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are
virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in Section I. The
present OSHA permissible exposure limits for hexavalent chromium is 0.05mg/m3
and for nickel is 1mg/m3, which will result in a significant reduction from
the 5mg/m3 general fume level. Gaseous reaction products may include carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the
radiation.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Threshold Limit Value:

Magna 8N12 T.I.G. Page 1

The ACGIH recommended general limit for welding fume NOC (Not Otherwise
Classified) is 5 mg/m3. The ACGIH 1984-85 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 IV for
specific fume constituents which may modify this TLV.
Effects of Overexposure:
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE)
OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness,
nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONG TERM (CHRONIC)
OVEREXPOSURE may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis and is believed by some
investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn
skin. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. See Section VI.
Emergency & First Aid Procedures:
Call for medical aid. Employ first aid techniques recommended by the American
Red Cross.
Carcinogenicity
OSHA regulated: Chromium, Nickel.

SECTION VI - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE/APPLICABLE CONTROL MEASURES

Read the understand the manufacturer's instructions and the precautionary
label on this product. See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in
Welding and Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, P.O. Box
351040, Miami, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 for more details on many of
the following:
Ventilation:
Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes
and gases below the TLV's in the worker's breathing zone and the general area.
Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes.
Respiratory Protection:
Use respirable fume respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in
confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure
below TLV.
Eye Protection:
Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb, start
with a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next
lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective
screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
Protective Clothing:
Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from
radiation, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this
includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield and may include arm
protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial
clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to insulate
himself from work and ground.
Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks:
Not applicable.
Waste Disposal Method:

Magna 8N12 T.I.G. Page 2

Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product,
residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable
manner, in full compliance with Federal, State and Local regulations.

SECTION III - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables. Refer to
American National Standard Z49.1 for fire prevention during the use of welding
and allied procedures.

SECTION IV - REACTIVITY DATA

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Welding fumes cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of
both are dependent upon the metal being welded, the process, procedures and
electrodes 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 welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing),
number of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation,
position of welder'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 electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are
different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section I. Fume
and gas decomposition products, not the ingredients in the electrode, are
important. Decomposition products include those originating from the
volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section I
plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are
virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals
(Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society).

Reasonably expected decomposition products from normal use of this product

includes fluorides and a complex of the oxides of the materials listed in
Section I. The present OSHA permissible exposure limits for hexavalent
chromium is 0.05mg/m3 and for nickel is 1mg/m3, which will result in a
significant reduction from the 5mg/m3 general fume level. Gaseous reaction
products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen
oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc.

Magna Alloy C Page 1

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