HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Classification This chemical is not considered hazardous according to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard 2012 (29 CFR 1910.1200). Solid metallic products are generally classified as "articles" and do not constitute hazardous materials in solid form. However, downstream use of the article could result in some hazardous elements contained in these products to be emitted under certain processing conditions such as but not limited to: burning, melting, cutting, sawing, brazing, grinding, machining, milling, and welding. The classification given below pertains to these alloys when used during these processes.

Grinding, polishing, abrasive blasting, hot rolling, hot forging,thermal cutting, or welding may produce stainless steel dust or fumes containing complex or mixed oxides (spinels) of its components. Metal dust particles may cause eye, skin and/or respiratory system irritation. The below information is for these instances. Eye Contact Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. Skin Contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. In the case of skin irritation or allergic reactions see a physician. Inhalation Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Consult a physician. Ingestion Not an expected route of exposure. If swallowed: Get medical attention. Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Most Important Symptoms/Effects Coughing and/ or wheezing. Difficulty in breathing. Irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary Notes to Physician May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. Treat symptomatically. 5.

Environmental Precautions Environmental Precautions Not applicable to steel in solid state. Follow applicable federal, state and local regulations Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Methods for Containment Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Cover dust spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Methods for Cleaning Up Take up mechanically and collect in suitable container for disposal. Avoid dust formation. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling Handling Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Storage Incompatible Products Store in accordance with local regulations. May react in contact with strong acids to release gaseous acid decomposition products, e.g. hydrogen, oxides of nitrogen. Use of strong oxidizers (high pH) on stainless steel may cause Cr(VI) compounds to form at ambient temperatures.Decomposition: Fumes generated during welding, brazing, or thermal cutting may contain: chromium compounds, including hexavalent chromium Cr(VI); nickel; manganese; iron; molybdenum; and silicon compounds. 8.
