INTRODUCTION
PAINTS
see Solvents and Chemical Materials - General.
Highly Flammable, Flammable.
One Pack. Can contain harmful or toxic pigments, driers and other components as well as solvents. Spraying should
only be carried out with adequate ventilation.
Two Pack. Can also contain harmful and toxic unreacted resins and resin hardening agents. The manufacturers
instructions should be followed and the section of page 5 on resin based adhesives, isocyanate containing Adhesives
and Foams should be consulted.
Spraying should preferably be carried out in exhausted ventilated booths removing vapour and spray mists from the
breathing zone. Individuals working in booths should wear respiratory protection. Those doing small scale repair work
in the open shop should wear supplied air respirators.

SOLDER
see Welding.
Solders are mixtures of metals such that the melting point of the mixture is below that of the constituent metals (nor-
mally lead and tin). Solder application does not normally give rise to toxic lead fumes, provided a gas/air flame is
used. Oxy-acetylene flames should not be used, as they are much hotter and will cause lead fumes to be evolved.
Some fumes may be produced by the application of any flame to surfaces coated with grease etc. and inhalation of
these should be avoided.
Removal of excess solder should be undertaken with care, to ensure that fine lead dust is not produced, which can
give toxic effects if inhaled. Respiratory protection may be necessary.
Solder spillage and filing should be collected and removed promptly to prevent general air contamination by lead.
High standards of personal hygiene are necessary in order to avoid indigestion of lead or inhalation of solder dust
from clothing.
SOLVENTS
see Chemical Materials - General Fuels (Kerosene), Fire.
e.g. Acetone, white spirit, toluene, xylene, trichlorethane.
Used in cleaning materials, de-waxing, paints, plastics, resins, thinners etc.
Highly Inflammable, Flammable.
Skin contact will degrease the skin and may result in irritation and dermatitis following repeated or prolonged contact.
Some can be absorbed through the skin in toxic or harmful quantities.
Splashes in the eye may cause severe irritation and could lead to loss of vision.
Brief exposure to high concentrations of vapours or mists will cause eye and throat irritation, drowsiness, dizziness,
headaches and in the worst circumstances, unconsciousness.
Repeated or prolonged exposures to excessive but lower concentrations of vapours or mists, for which there might
not be adequate warning indications, can cause more serious toxic or harmful effects.
Aspiration into the lungs (e.g. through vomiting) is the most serious consequence of swallowing.
