Ingestion:

If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything bymouth to an unconscious person.

Other First Aid:

Exposures to soldering fumes and vapors may be irritating to eyes, respiratory system, and skin.

Note to Physicians:

Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.

SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURESExtinguishing Media:
Special Firefighting
Procedures:

Dry chemical, foam
Do not use water. Use NIOSH-approved self-contained Breathing Apparatus and full protective clothing if
involved in a fire.

Unusual Fire andExplosion Hazards:

May release Toxic metal and oxide fumes. High concentrations of dust may present explosion hazard. Water
trapped below molten metal may explode thus spattering molten metal.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Precautions andequipment:

Material is extremely thick and will not flow out.

Accidental releasemeasures:If material spills or leaks use a spatula to collect and place it in a plastic or glass jar. Remove traces of residue
using cloth rags or paper towels moistened with Isopropyl Alcohol. Exposure to spilled material may be irritating.
Follow on-site personal protective equipment recommendations.

Environmental
precautions:

Avoid release to the environment. Collect spillage.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling / Storage:

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Use care to avoid spills. Avoid inhalation of fumes or dust. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Store in a closed corrosive resistant container, with corrosive resistantliner, in a cool dry place. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with or handling. Always
wash hands thoroughly after handling this product. Dispose of following Federal, State/Provincial, and Local
regulations.

Other Precautions:

Empty containers may retain product residues in vapor, liquid, and/or solid form. All labeled hazard precautions
should be observed.

Work Hygenic Practices:

Cosmetics/Food/Drink/Tobacco should not be consumed or used in work areas. Always wash hands afterhandling material and before applying or using cosmetics/food/drink/tobacco.

Section 7 Notes:

For industrial use only.
Keep out of reach of children.
Not for internal consumption.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational Exposure Limit Values:
Rosin flux fumes (as total resin acids)

1.0MEL:0.15 mg/m3 15 min.

Extraction is necessary to remove fumes during reflow. Also see section 3.
Engineering Controls:

Use only with production equipment designed for use with solder paste.

Ventilation:

Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below TLVs.

Respiratory Protection:

A (US: NIOSH; EU: EN 140:1998, EN 14387:2004 A) approved air-purifying respirator with fume/organic
chemical cartridge should be worn when airborne concentrations may be exceeded. General and local exhaust
ventilation is the preferred means of protection.

Eye Protection:

Use with appropriate eye protection: Goggles or face shield (EU: EN 166-S 3 9)

Skins Protection:

Protective gloves should be worn when the possibility of skin contact exists (EU: EN 374-1:2003).

Protective Clothing orEquipment:
Work Hygenic Practices:Work clothes should be worn and laundered in accordance with current Lead (Pb) Standards (US: OSHA)

Other:

Maintain eye wash stations in work areas. Avoid the use of contact lenses in high ume areas. Clean protective
equipment regularly. Clean up spills immediately.

Cosmetics/Food/Drink/Tobacco should not be consumed or used in work areas. Always wash hands afterhandling material and before applying or using cosmetics/food/drink/tobacco.

Incompatibility (Material to avoid):Oxidizing materials, acids, hydrogen peroxide, bases

Hazardous Decomposition/ByProducts:

Harmful organic fumes and toxic oxide fumes may form at elevated temperatures.

Possibility of Hazardous Reactions:NE

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Inhalation:

This product does not presen a risl at ambient temperatures. The flux fumes evolved during
soldering will irritate the nose, throat and lungs. Repeated or prolonged exposure to flux fumes may
cause an allergic effect which may lead to occupational asthma.

Skin:

Contact with flux fumes and flux residues may cause irritation and sensitization.

Eyes:

Contact with flux fumes and flux residues may cause irritation and sensitization.

Health Hazards (acute and chronic):

Contact with dust and fumes may cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. Ingestion and/orinhalation of material or fumes may result in flu-like symptoms, insomnia, muscle weakness, nausea
and abdominal pain. Fross ihalation or ingestion may be toxic and can result in death. Symptoms oftoxicity may take hours or days to manifest. Chronic exposures, inhalation and ingestion may resultin kidney, red blood cell, reproductive and nervous system effects. Health effects may be cumulative
over many exposures. Studies show that health risks vary by individual. Minimize exposure as aprecaution. See OSHA 29CFR 1910.1025(subpart Z) for more information.
