GHS Statement
Bulk ferroboron alloys are generally not classified as hazardous under the (GHS). However, hazards may arise during grinding, cutting, welding, or handling fine powders due to airborne metal dust.
Precautionary Statement
P261 – Avoid breathing dust or fumes P271 – Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area P280 – Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, and respiratory protection where dust is generated P304 + P340 – IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing P305 + P351 + P338 – IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do P314 – Get medical advice if you feel unwell
GHS note:
GHS classification may vary depending on the boron content, impurities, particle size, and physical form (lumps, granules, or powder). Always refer to the supplier's SDS for the applicable hazard classification and precautionary measures.
Precautionary Statement Codes
P260, P264, P280, P301+P330+P331, P302+P361+P354, P304+P340, P305+P354+P338, P316, P321, P363, P405, and P501
