Additional information:

TMA 725 stainless steel mesh in its solid state do not present inhalation, skin or ingestion hazards. However, welding, cutting, brazing, grinding and machining may produce dust or fumes which could be inhaled and be potentially hazardous.

Product may have an oil coating used in the manufacturing process.

4 First Aid Measures

Inhalation:

Inhalation is unlikely under normal conditions of use. However, welding, cutting, brazing, grinding and machining may produce dust or fumes which could be inhaled and be potentially hazardous. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention if breathing problems develop.

Skin Contact:

In case of skin contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with water and soap. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

Eye Contact:

In case of eye irritation, hold eyelids open and rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. If a fragment is lodged in the eye seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:

Inhalation is unlikely under normal conditions of use. It may cause lacerations. Seek medical attention.

Symptoms Caused by Exposure:

Inhalation: Dust may cause irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs. Excessive inhalation of metallic fumes and dust may result in metal fume fever, an influenza-like illness characterized by a sweet or metallic taste in the mouth accompanied by dryness and irritation of the throat, cough, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema, general malaise, weakness, fatigue, muscle and joint pains, blurred vision, fever, and chills. Typical symptoms last from 12 to 48 hours.

Skin Contact: Dust or particulates may cause mechanical irritation due to abrasion. Some components are capable of causing an allergic reaction, possibly resulting in burning, itching, and skin eruptions.

Eye Contact: May cause mechanical irritation including pain and redness. Rubbing of the eye may result in scratching of the cornea.

Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely under normal conditions of use. May cause laceration if swallowed.

5 Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media:

Use dry powder or sand for molten metal. For steel dust use dry sand, water spray or foam. Do not use water as extinguishing media for molten metal. Do not use carbon dioxide for molten metal or dust.

Safety Data Sheet

(Contd. of page 2)

Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical:

Hazardous combustion products include metal oxide fumes.

Stainless steel mesh does not present fire or explosion hazards under normal conditions.

High concentrations of combustible metallic fines in the air may present an explosion hazard.

Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire Fighters:

When fighting a major fire wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective equipment.

6 Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures:

Wear approved respiratory protection, chemical resistant gloves, safety glasses, protective clothing and safety boots. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from affected area. Do not breathe fumes/dust. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental Precautions:

In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses.

Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up:

Collect scraps and off-cuts and place in suitable containers for subsequent disposal. The product can be recycled or disposed of at an approved landfill.

7 Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling:

Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of dust/fumes. Use good housekeeping practices to prevent accumulations of dust. Generation of particulates or metal oxide fumes is not expected under normal conditions of use.

Food, beverages and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this material is in use.

Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in close proximity to points of potential exposure.

Conditions for Safe Storage:

Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated area. Keep in original packaging. Protect from strong acids and bases.

Avoid generating dust.

Chronic Health Effects:

The prolonged and repeated exposure (by inhalation) to respirable (crystalline) silica cause silicosis, a debilitating lung disease. The crystalline silica dust is practically insoluble in body fluids and can be deposited in lungs. Cigarette smoking can reduce the clearance of crystalline silica.
