Personal Safety
When working with nVent ERICO Cadweld Plus, always use appropriate safety equipment such
as eye protection, heat-resistant gloves, and other PPE as appropriate to the application and
required by local safety codes.
Avoid contact with hot materials. Maintain safe working distance and secure footing while
welding or working with hot materials.
Welding material is a mixture of oxides and metal which react to produce hot molten material
with temperatures in excess of 1400° C [2500° F] and a localized release of smoke. These
reactions are not explosive and not known to be toxic. Ignition temperatures of welding
material are in excess of 900° C [1650° F] and will not ignite under ambient conditions.
For reduced or eliminated smoke options, contact nVent ERICO.
