CAUTION: Empty containers may contain product residue. Observe all label precautions. |
From MSDS
Primary exposure during soldering is to evaporated solvent which may contain droplets of rosin and/or other organic decomposition products.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Eyes, Inhalation, Ingestion
TARGET ORGANS: Flux fumes: eyes, skin, mucous membranes and respiratory system. Ingestion of lead metal can affect kidneys, gastrointestinal, reproductive and neurological systems.
EFFECTS OF ACUTE (severe short-term) EXPOSURE:
Inhalation: Flux fumes during soldering may cause irritation and damage of mucous membranes and respiratory system.
Skin Contact: possible local irritation by contact with flux or fumes.
Skin Absorption: None.
Eye Contact: Irritation from contact with smoke from soldering.
Ingestion: Not likely to occur.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Flux: Pre-existing conditions of the lungs. Lead: Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs, kidneys, nerves and possible reproductive system.
|
From MSDS
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC (prolonged) EXPOSURE:
Breathing fumes during soldering may cause respiratory system irritation, headache and irritation of mucous membranes. Smoke during soldering will contain rosin which is an allergen and can cause respiratory system irritation and damage. Repeated ingestion of lead can result in systemic poisoning.
If the solder contains lead, these precautions are applicable. This product contains lead which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

From MSDS
NTP: No
OSHA: No
IARC: Yes
