11. Toxicological information
Information on likely routes of exposure
Harmful if inhaled. May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled. May
Inhalation
cause damage to organs by inhalation. If vapors, mists, or sprays of this product are inhaled, they
can irritate and burn the nose, throat, and respiratory system. Symptoms of inhalation
over-exposure may include sore throat, choking, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Prolonged or
repeated over-exposure may cause burns and ulcers to the nose and throat, dental erosion,
bronchitis, and stomach pains. It has been reported that a worker developed asthmatic symptoms
after performing soldering work with a flux containing Ammonium and Zinc Chlorides (components
of this product). It has been reported that inhalation of Methanol (a component of this product)
vapors in high concentrations can cause blindness. Severe inhalation overexposure may cause
pulmonary edema (a life-threatening accumulation of fluid in the lungs) or pneumonitis. Symptoms
of pulmonary edema (e.g., shortness of breath, chest pains) can be delayed for several hours
after exposure. Severe inhalation of vapors or fumes (as may occur if individuals are exposed in
poorly ventilated areas, such as confined spaces) may be harmful.
Skin contact
Causes severe skin burns. Depending on the duration and concentration of over-exposure, skin
contact with this product can irritate and burn the skin. Repeated or prolonged over-exposure to
this product may result in dermatitis (red, dry, itchy skin) and ulceration. Methanol (a component
of this product) is readily absorbed through the skin. Because Methanol is a minor component of
this product, skin absorption is not anticipated to be a significant route of over-exposure.
Eye contact
Depending on the duration and concentration of over-exposure, eye contact with this product can
irritate and burn the eyes. Eye over-exposure can cause pain, tearing, and redness. Severe eye
over-exposure may cause blindness. Causes serious eye damage.
Ingestion
Harmful if swallowed. Causes digestive tract burns. If this flux is ingested, nausea, vomiting, and
diarrhea may occur (depending on the amount of the product swallowed). Severe ingestion
exposures may result in damage to the tissues of the gastrointestinal system, and death.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
A large number of abbreviations and acronyms appear on a MSDS. Some of these, which are commonly used, include the following:
CAS #: This is the Chemical Abstract Service Number, which uniquely identifies each constituent.
EXPOSURE LIMITS IN AIR:
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS IN AIR:
ACG1H - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, a
Much of the information related to fire and explosion is derived from the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Flash Point· Minimum
professional association which establishes exposure limits.
TlVThreshold Limit Value - an airborne concentration of a substance, which
represents conditions under which it is generally believed that nearly all
workers, may be repeatedly exposed without adverse effect. The duration
must be considered, including the 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA),
the is-minute Short Term Exposure Limit, and the instantaneous Ceiling
Leve! (C). Skin absorption effects must also be considered.
OSHA - U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
PEL ~ Permissible Exposure Limit - This exposure value means exactly the
The OSHA
same as a TLV, except that it is enforceable by OSHA.
Permissible Exposure Limits are based in the 1989 PELs and the June,
1993 Air Contaminants Rule (Federal Register: 58: 35338-35351 and 58:
40191). Both the current PELs and the vacated PEls are indicated. The
phrase, 'Vacated 1989 PEL," is placed next to the PEL, which was vacated
by Court Order. IDlH ~ Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health - This
level represents a concentration from which one can escape within 30minutes without suffering escape-preventing or permanent injury. The DFG MAK is the Republic of Germany's Maximum Exposure Level, similar to the
U.S. PEL NIOSH is the National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health, which is the research arm of the U.S. Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA). NIOSH issues exposure guidelines called
Recommended Exposure Levels (REls). When no exposure guidelines are
established, an entry of NE is made for reference.
HAZARD RATINGS:
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM: Health Hazard: 0
(minimal acute or chronic exposure hazard); 1 (slight acute or chronic
exposure hazard); 2 (moderate acute or significant chronic exposure
hazard); 3 (severe acute exposure hazard; onetime overexposure can result
in permanent injury and may be fatal): 4 (extreme acute exposure hazard:
onetime overexposure can be fatal). Flammability Hazard: 0 (minimal
hazard); 1 (materials that require substantial pre-heating before burning); 2
(combustible liquid or solids: liquids with a flash point of 3B·93°C [100200°F]): 3 (Class IB and IC flammable liquids with flash points below 3aoc
[100°F]); 4 (Class IA flammable liquids with flash points below 23°C [73°F]
and boiling points below 38°C [100°F]. Reactivity Hazard: 0 (normally
stable): 1 (material that can become unstable at elevated temperatures or
which can react slightly with water); 2 (materials that are unstable but do not
detonate or which can react violently with water); 3 (materials that can
detonate when initiated or which can react explosively with water); 4
(materials that can detonate at normal temperatures or pressures).
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION: Health Hazard:
0
(material that on exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard
beyond that of ordinary combustible materials); 1 (materials that on
exposure under fire conditions could cause irritation or minor residual injury);
2 (materials that on intense or continued exposure under fire conditions
could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury); 3
(materials that can on short exposure could cause serious temporary or
residual injury): 4 (materials that under very short exposure causes death or
major residual injury). Flammability Hazard and Reactivity Hazard: Refer to
definitions for "Hazardous Materials Identification System".
temperature at which a liquid gives off sufficient vapors to form an ignitable
mixture with air. Autoignition Temperature: The minimum temperature
required to initiate combustion in air with no other source of ignition. LELthe lowest percent of vapor in air, by volume, that will explode or ignite in the
presence of an ignition source. UEL - the highest percent of vapor in air, by
volume, that will explode or ignite in the presence of an ignition source.
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
Human and Animal Toxicology: Possible health hazards as derived from
human data, animal studies, or from the results of studies with similar
compounds are presented. Definitions of some terms used in this section
are: LD50 . Lethal Dose (solids & liquids) which kills 50% of the exposed
animals: lC 50 - Lethal Concentration (gases) which kills 50% oflhe exposed
animals; ppm concentration expressed in parts of material per million parts
of air or water: mg/m3 concentration expressed in weight of substance per
volume of air: mg/kg quantity of material, by weight, administered to a test
subject, based on their body weight in kg. Other measures of toxicity include
TDlo, the lowest dose to cause a symptom and TClo the lowest
concentration to cause a symptom; TDo, lDlo, and LOo, or TC, TCo,
lClo, and lCo, the lowest dose (or concentration) to cause lethal or toxic
effects. Cancer Information: The sources are: IARC - the International
Agency for Research on Cancer; NTP - the National Toxicology Program,
RTECS - the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances, OSHA and
CAUOSHA. !ARC and NTP rate chemicals on a scale of decreasing
potential to cause human cancer with ran kings from 1 to 4. Subrankings
(2A, 2B, etc.) are also used. Other Information: BEl - ACGIH Biological
Exposure Indices, represent the levels of determinants which are most likely
to be observed in specimens collected from a healthy worker who has been
exposed to chemicals to the same extent as a worker with inhalation
exposure to the TLV.
Ecological Information:
EC is the effect
concentration in water. BCF = Bioconcentration Factor, which is used to
determine if a substance will concentrate in lifefonns which consume
contaminated plant or animal matter. Coefficient of OilfWater Distribution
is represented by log K..w or log K oc and is used to assess a substance's
behavior in the environment.
REGULATORY INFORMATION:
This section explains the impact of various laws and regulations on the
material. U.S.: EPA is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. DOT is
the U.S. Department of Transportation.
SARA is the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act. TSCA is the U.S. Toxic Substance
Control Act. CERCLA. (or Superfund) refers to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Labeling is per
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z129.1). CANADA:
CEPA is the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. WHMIS is the
Canadian Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. TC is
Transport Canada. DSUNOSL are the Canadian Domestic/Non-Domestic
Substances Lists. The CPR is the Canadian Product Regulations. This
section also includes information on the precautionary warnings, which
appear, on the materials package label.
