Hazards Identification

No hazards are reported until now, provided the products are used in general environment.
If they are welded, flame/plasma cut, or ground, whereby the fine particles are generated, any damage
may be acutely incurred on eyes, respiratory organs, or mucous membranes.
If fine particles are generated, or corrosion or abrasion are occurred by hot or acid environment, naturalimpurities (generally, industrial metals contain 1～3%) or alloying elements may elute to be polluted
area year by year. In such the case, chronic toxicosis may be incurred.
Usually, metallic products with volume are not chemical substances so SDS is not required. But thesteel maker's SDS for alloying elements may be attached if they are possible to be hazardous.
See Table 1 for the hazardous in general use.

SFS-SDS-24-001 (E)03 / 7First-aid Measures

If fine particles are generated, or corrosion or abrasion are occurred by hot or acid environment:
・If inhaled
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing.
Call a Poison Center/Doctor/Physician if you feel unwell.

・

If on skin (or hair)
Wash with plenty of soap and water.
If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.

・

If in eyes
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present andeasy to do. Continue rinsing.
If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

・If swallowed
Rinse your mouth. Call a Poison Center/Doctor/Physician if you feel unwell.
※If swallow a solid, immediately get medical advice/attention.

・Protective equipment needed for emergency measure
Helper shall wear rubber gloves and sealed goggles.

5Fire-fighting Measures

If fine particles are generated:
・Fire extinguisher
Any extinguisher suitable for surrounding facilities shall be employed.

・Specific hazards
Irritative, poisonous, and/or corrosive gas may be generated upon combustion.
Dust explosion may be occurred.

・

Advice for fire-fighters
Evacuate people to safety zone.

・Protective equipment needed for fire-fighting
Fire-fighter shall wear protective gloves/clothes/goggles/face shield.

6

Accidental Release Measures

If fine particles are generated, or corrosion or abrasion are occurred by hot or acid environment:・

Personnel precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Keep people away.
Wear proper protective equipment.

・Environmental precautions
Keep spill from entering to water source, river, lake, sea, or groundwater. Do not wash
down the fine particles to sewer or any drain line. That may cause dust explosion.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
If the polluted area of hazardous elements is found, terminate the utilization immediatelyand remove it by physical method.
For long time keeping, the products shall be kept in such a place difficult to rust that are
free from acid/alkaline substances including rain water.
If the fine particles are usually generated by routine welding or like, a closed space withexhaust apparatus shall be provided in accordance with applicable Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) laws and regulations.
The fine particles shall be collected into a container, and closed afterwards.

・Preventive measures for secondary accident
If lots of the fine particles are kept by necessity, prepare the fire extinguishers to its combustion
potential.
Keep such the space free from all of ignition sources (smoking, spark, flame and etc.).
Prevent the fine particles entering to drain line, sewer, underground room, or any closed spaces.

7

Handlin, Storage, and Disposal

If fine particles are generated, or corrosion or abrasion are occurred by hot or acid environment:
・Technical Measures
If the fine particles are kept by necessity and its total weight is more than 1/5 of FireProtection-Law-based storage limit, refer to Fire Protection laws and regulations.
If they are welded, flame/plasma cut, or ground, whereby the fine particles are generated,refer to HSE laws and regulations to secure the safe work space including protective equipment.
If the fine particles are usually generated by routine welding or like, a closed space withexhaust apparatus shall be provided.

・CautionIf the fine particles are usually generated, prevent piling up.

・Safety Measures
Wear the suitable protective equipment.
Wash hands and contaminated parts thoroughly after handling.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.

For both fine particles and solids:
・

Incompatibilities and Safety Storage Conditions
The products shall be kept in such a place difficult to rust that are free from acid/alkaline
substances.
Prevent the products corroded or embrittled by attaching to any different metal (especially,low melting metals).
Keep the fine particles in the closed container to prevent any chemical reaction with different substances. Such the container shall be at the cool place outside the sun.
Keep the fine particles away from all of ignition sources (heater, spark, flame, high temperature)
