1 . Identification Product Carbon Steel/ Stainless Steel Other Names - Steel AISI 00, UNSG000, AISI UNSG0220 AISI0B2 Other Names - Stainless Steel 302 HQ, ASTM 493, UNS S30430 Trade Name Ohio Weld Fasteners Recommended Use Weld fasteners Manufacturer/Supplier One Berea Commons Suite 209 Berea, Ohio Telephone No. (440) Page 2. Hazard Identification Hazard Class Ferrous / Nonferrous Steel Hazard Statement Fastener Industries does not consider its product in its solid form, to the end user, a physical or health hazard. Subsequent operations such as welding, melting, abrazing, cutting or processing in any other fashion may produce potentially hazardous fumes or dust which can be inhaled, swallowed, or come in contact with the skin or eyes. No toxic effects would be expected from exposure to the solid form of ferrous metals. Prolonged repeated exposure to fumes or dust generated from welding, heating, brazing, or cutting without proper protection may or may not cause adverse health effects associated with the listed constituents in excess of OSHA's permissable exposure limits established in 29 CFR Subpart 2 (See Section 3) Health Flammability HMIS Rating Reacivity Personal Protection 0 A 0

If condition continues, consult physican Flush well with running water to remove particulate. Obtain medical attention. Brush of remove excess dust. Wash skin area well with soap and water. Launder clothing and/or uniforms. Seek medical attention if large quantities of material have been ingested. 5 Fire fighting measures Flash point Fire point

Waste Disposal Method Solid form, evaluate of useability, or sale as scrap for reuse Dust, fumes, etc. Follow Federal, State, and Local regulations regarding disposal. 7 Handling and storage Handling Gloves as required 8 Exposure controls/personal protection OSHA exposable limits See section 3 Personal protective equipment Respirtory Protection If dust, fumes, or misting conditions occur and threshold limit values as indicated in part 3 is exceeded, provide NIOSH approved respirators. 9 Physical and chemical properties Appearance Odor Oder Threshold ph Melting point Initial boiling point and boiling range Flash point Evaporation rate Flammability Upper/lower flammability Vapor Pressure Vapor density Relative density Solubility Partition coefficient Auto ignition temperature Decomposition temperature Viscosity Various shapes, solids. Odorless 2400 to 2800 F.284 lb/in³ 0 Stability and Reactivity Reacitivity Chemical stability Possible hazardous reactions Conditions to avoid Incompatibly materials Reacts with very strong acids - Temperature above melting point may release fumes containing oxides of iron and alloys Chemically stable Metalic oxides

4 Hazardous decomposition materials Metal Fumes Page 4 Toxology Information Likely routes of exposure Symptions Chronic Toxicity limits Secondary machining, welding, which raise material to melting. Note: Steel in its solid form does not present an ingestion or inhalation health hazard. Only secondary operations produce conditions which may or may not present health hazards. High consentration of inhaled oxides can produce flu like symptoms lasting from 2 to 48 hours and include metallic taste, throat irratation, muscle weakness, fever and chills Repeated overexposure to Nickel and Chrominum can cause contact dermatitis and inflamaton of upper respiratory tract and both Nickel and Chromium have been linked to upper respiratory cancer see chart in section 3 for exposure limits Special Precautions Use good shop practices to keep dust and fume consenstrations at a minimum This material is often protected with coatings such as oils, rust inhibitors, amung others. If these coatings are suspect to be contaminated, special precautions, such as in-house process control and protective equipment appropraite to the nature of the suspected contaminants should be taken to avoid possible exposure when handling.
