*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:A NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR WITH FILTER
    CARTRIDGES APPROVED FOR DUST/FUMES/MISTS SHOULD BE WORN AT ALL
    TIMES DURING THE THERMAL SPRAY PROCESS. RESPIRATORS MAY ALSO BE
    WORN WHEN PRODUCT HANDLING GENERA TES DUST.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE USED TO CONTROL
    EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE FUMES OR DUST WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION, SAFETY SHOWER, APRON
    (ALUMINIZED), EAR PROTECTION (TO AVOID EXCESSIVE NOISE)
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
    RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY
    TRACT. ACUTE- INHALATION MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
    EYE CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE
    DERMATITIS, SENSITIZATION/CHROME LESIONS.  HARMFUL/FATAL IF
    INGESTED. CHRONIC- DERMATITIS, LUNG DISEASES, SKIN SENSITIZATION,
    NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS NICKEL AND CHROMIUM.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION, SKIN DERMATITIS OR ECZEMA, COUGH,
    WHEEZING AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH, DECREASED PULMONARY FUNCTION,
    HEADACHE, NAUSEA, VOMITING, EPIGASTRIC PAIN, WEAKNESS, CONVULSIONS,
    RESPIRATORY AND SKIN S ENSITIZATION, BURNS
