Section 3 - Composition / Information on Ingredients
The following ingredients are hazardous according to OSHA criteria.
CAS Component Concentration
7440-50-8 Copper >50%
7440-31-5 Tin <50%
This product is an allow of the above metals.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove source(s) of contamination and move victim to fresh air. If breathing has
stopped, give artificial respiration, then oxygen if needed. Contact physician immediately.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a physician. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
After first aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic, or community medical support.

Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures

Flammable Classification: Non-Flammable
Extinguishing Media: Water Fog, Dry Chemical, and Carbon Dioxide Foam
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: None known.

Fire-Fighting Instructions: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to protect
personnel. Shut off “fuel” to fire. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the
vapors. Either allow fire to burn under controlled conditions or extinguish with foam or dry
chemical. Try to cover liquid spills with foam.

Further information: Because fire may produce toxic thermal decomposition products,
wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face piece operated in pressure
demand or positive-pressure mode.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Spill /Leak procedures: Spilled material may produce dust hazard if not handled correctly.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment: coveralls, gloves and eye protection. Contain
spillages and clean up with vacuum or conventional tools and attempt to minimize dusting. Place
in a suitable container for recycling or disposal in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

Environmental precautions: Prevent material from entering drains, and waterways.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions: Use only in a well ventilated area and prevent the creation of dust. Use
good general housekeeping procedures. Wash hands after use.

Page 2 of 6
Storage Requirements: Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labeled. Store in cool, dry,
well ventilated place away from heat, direct sunlight, strong oxidizers and any incompatibles.
Store in approved containers and protect against physical damage. Keep containers securely
sealed when not in use. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and appropriate fire
codes. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed to prevent leakage. Empty
containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Avoid water contamination.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Control parameters: The following exposure standards are for individual metals in the alloy and
are offered as a guideline for the alloy.
Copper:
Basis Value Parameter
OSHA PEL 1 mg/m3
ACGIH-TLV TWA 1 mg/m3
Tin:
Basis Value Parameter
OSHA PEL 2 mg/m3
ACGIH-TLV TWA 2 mg/m3

Respiratory Protection: Should a respirator be needed, follow OSHA respirator regulations 29

CFR 1910.134 and European Standards EN 141, 143 and 371; wear an MSHA/NIOSH or
European Standards EN 141, 143 and 371 approved respirators equipped with particulate filter.

Hand Protection: Wear any liquid-tight gloves such as butyl rubber, neoprene or PVC. A gauntlet
type glove or long sleeve shirt should also be worn if skin contact is probable and skin is
sensitive.

Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields per OSHA eye- and face-protection regulations
29 CFR 1910.133 and European Standard EN166. Contact lenses are not eye protective
devices. Appropriate eye protection must be worn instead of, or in conjunction with contact
lenses.

Other Protective Clothing/Equipment: Additional protective clothing or equipment is not

normally required. Provide eye bath and safety shower.

Comments: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after
using this material, especially before eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet, or applying
cosmetics. Wash thoroughly after handling.
