1 Guhring Coating Services P.O. Box 643 Brookfield, WI Phone: Fax: GUHRING SAFETY DATA SHEET 1. Guhring specialty coatings represent less than 1% of the total tool by weight. The Ingredients list below includes typical weight ranges for cutting tools to which the coatings are applied. The coating identified below is applied to the tool by Guhring. 1. IDENTIFICATION PRODUCT ME: Chemical Description: Carbide Cutting Tool Cemented Carbide Product with Cobalt Binder EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview: Hazard Classification- Respiratory Tract irritant GHS Label Elements: none Pictogram: Signal Word = warning Hazard Statement -Avoid prolonged breathing of fumes during cutting Precautionary Statement-Use general or mechanical ventilation during cutting HMIS Health Hazard 1 Chronic Health Hazard *(pg-2) Flammability 0 Physical Hazard 0 NFPA Rating Potential Health Effects: Inhalation-Can cause respiratory irritation by prolonged drilling without ventilation Skin-none Eyes-none Ingestion-none = Not Applicable Cemented Carbide w/cobalt Binder Page 1 of 5

2 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Coated mixture on steel tooling (Coating is approximately 1-2% of base tooling weight) INGREDIENT ME CAS # % TLV/TWA Tungsten Carbide mg/m3 (as Tungsten) Cobalt mg/m3 Tantalum Carbide mg/m3 (as Tantalum) Chromium Carbide mg/m3 (as Cr+3) Chromium mg/m3 (as Cr+3) Base steel tooling None None *Source: OSHA 29 CFR Table Z-1, 2 or FIRST AID INFORMATION EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Inhalation: Remove individual from immediate work area to a supply of fresh air. At a minimum, use standard ventilation practices around operating machine tools. Consult physician if condition persists.. Eye: Wear approved eye protection whenever using machining tools. Use good practices when securing tooling in a machine. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASH POINT: LOWER (LEL): FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR (%): UPPER (UEL): EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: AUTO-IGNITION: Tools and coating are not flammable. Fight fire normally based upon other materials involved. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: As with any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid inhalation of hazardous decomposition products from other materials that may be involved. SPECIAL FIRE EXPLOSION HAZARDS: None. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PROCEDURES TO CONTAIN AND CLEAN UP LEAKS OR SPILLS: Coating is applied to metal tooling and will not be released if tooling is spilled. Pick up and properly store tooling to avoid trip hazard. REPORTING PROCEDURE: Report all spills in accordance with Federal, State and Local reporting requirements. Guhring is not aware of any environmental reporting requirements for spilled tooling. = Not Applicable Cemented Carbide w/cobalt Binder Page 2 of 5

3 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING AND STORAGE: tooling. Store tooling in a dry place. Observe proper lifting techniques for bulk 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSOL PROTECTION RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: General respiratory protection for dust/fumes VENTILATION: Local Exhaust: General ventilation Mechanical (General): May control or enclose work area if appropriate Special: Other: PROTECTIVE GLOVES: EYE PROTECTION: OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: As needed for heat or metal slivers on tooling Use safety eye wear around operating machines 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Boiling 760 mm Hg ( C): Vapor Pressure (mm 25 C): Vapor Density (Air = 1): Density (grams/cc): Percent Volatile by Volume (%): Evaporation Rate (Butyl Acetate = 1): Physical State: Solubility in Water (% by Weight): ph: Appearance and Odor: Dark grey colored coating on all Guhring tools = Not Applicable Cemented Carbide w/cobalt Binder Page 3 of 5

4 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Stable or Unstable: Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Hazardous Decomposition Products: Decomposition Temperature: Hazardous Polymerization: Conditions to Avoid: Stable Exposure to strong mineral acids Will not occur 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV) AND SOURCE: Guhring cutting tools are a cobalt - molybdenum - vanadium coated, machined, heat treated metal tool. An extremely small amount of particulate containing cobalt, molybdenum or vanadium from the contact surface may be released during intermittent tool use. The low amount of coating released and the small wear surface make short term exposure at the TLV highly unlikely. Avoid prolonged exposure if ventilation is not present. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Used tooling may be re-coated several times before it reaches end of life. Guhring recommends returning the tooling for recoating as many times as practical and then recycling the metal tool appropriately at end-of-useful-life. No potential ecological hazards are known. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Used tooling may be re-coated several times before it reaches end of life. Guhring recommends returning the tooling for recoating as many times as practical and then recycling the metal tool appropriately at end-of-useful-life. 14. TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION TRANSPORTATION-SHIPPING: The coating on twist drills and taps does not classify the tooling for any hazard class per USDOT regulations. To our knowledge the tooling with coating applied is not a hazardous material. Always ship tools in accordance with 49 CFR, IATA, ICAO, UN regulations or other local regulations that may be required for the base tool material. = Not Applicable Cemented Carbide w/cobalt Binder Page 4 of 5

5 15. REGULATORY INFORMATION Cobalt metal powder is identified on the California Prop 65 list of potential carcinogens. SARA 313 Notification is not required because the cobalt, vanadium and molybdenum content of the coating are below the threshold reporting value. Reporting requirements may vary based upon your other facility requirements. 16. SDS INFORMATION Environmental Health & Safety Information: EDITION DATE: APPROVED BY: Don Rancic NOTICE: The information and recommendations set forth are made in good faith and are believed to be accurate at the date of preparation. Guhring Corporation makes no warranty expressed or implied. = Not Applicable Cemented Carbide w/cobalt Binder Page 5 of 5
