| Part 1: Product Identification |
|
| This MSDS applies to all
grades of stainless steels provided in the woven form by Screen Technology
Group, Inc. |
|
| Part 2: Hazardous Ingredients |
|
| The Occupational Health
and Safety Administration (OSHA) publishes Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL)
and the American Chemical Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH)
publishes Threshold Limit Values (TLV) for stainless steels. The
values listed below are applicable to major component elements.
These element may appear in various combination in any particular grade of
stainless steel. |

| Part 4: Fire and Explosion Data |
|
| Stainless steel products
in the form shipped are not considered combustible. During
processing (cutting, grinding, welding, etc.), the generation of dust in
high concentration may present fire and explosion hazards. |
|
| |
| Part 5: Reactivity Data |
|
|
Solubility: |
Insoluble in water and alkalis, corrodes
in acids and certain salts |
|
Hazardous Decomposition Products: |
Metal Fumes |
|
|
| |
| Part 6: Health Hazards
Information |
| Adequate ventilation is
required when welding, cutting, grinding, or burning this product.
Dust/fume respirators are required if the fume levels exceed TLV values. |
|
| |
| Part 7: Emergency
and First Aid Procedures |
| Inhalation: |
Seek medical attention if necessary |
| Skin: |
If irritation develops, remove contaminated
clothing immediately and wash contaminated skin with soap and water.
Seek medical attention if irritation persists. |
| Eyes: |
If eyes become irritated from dust or fumes
wash with large quantities of water. Seek medical attention when
necessary. |
| Ingestion: |
Seek medical attention when necessary. |

| Part 8: Spill or
Lead Procedures |

| Waste Disposal |
Solids- |
Recycle as scrap |
| Dusts- |
Dispose of dust according to local, state, and
federal regulations |
|
|
| |
| Part 9: Special
Protection Information |
| No toxic effects are
expected from the alloy in the inert solid form. Excessive inhalation of
fumes or dusts from burning, welding, grinding, and cutting can produce
and acute reaction known as metal fume fever. Nickel and chromium
must be considered possible carcinogens under OSHA 29CFR1910.1200.
However, studies of workers melting or working alloys containing these
elements have been found to have no increased risk of cancer. |
|
| |
| Part 10: Additional
Information and Precautions |
- Wire supplied by STGI is free of the following
substances: Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs),
and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
- Maintain exposure levels below TLV/PEL using the
proper ventilation and safety equipment.
- This MSDS shall be used in conjunction with the
chemical analysis as supplied by the rod mill
- Information herein was obtained from sources that
are believed to be authoritative and valid. However, no warranty,
expressed or implied, can be made.
