Eye Contact:
Skin Contact:
Inhalation:
Ingestion:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes. Get medical attention, if irritation or symptoms ofoverexposure persists.
Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Melted solder will solidify on colling and can be scraped up.
Solidified solder can be scraped up upon cooling. Use caution to avoid breathing fumes if a gas torch is used tocut up large pieces.

6.4 Reference to other sections
Protective Equipment:

Refer to Section 8 for information on personal protection equipment.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Handling:

Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapour and fumes. Use only in accordance with directions.

Special Handling:

Do not use in areas without adequate ventilation.

Hygiene Practices:

Avoid inhaling vapors, mists, or fumes. Wash thoroughly after handling.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage:
7.3 Specific end use(s)Store between 4° and 10°C (40° and 50°F). Keep container closed. Do not store with foodstuffs.

OSHA:

PEL-TWA: 2mg/m3

Silver:OSHA:

PEL-TWA: 0.01mg/m3

8.2 Exposure Controls
Engineering Controls:

Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering
controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Where such systems are not effective
wear suitable personal protective equipment, which performs satisfactorily and meets OSHA or other recognized
standards. Consult with local procedures for selection, training, inspection and maintenance of the personal
protective equipment.
