G. Welding material is an exothermic mixture and reacts to produce hot molten material with temperatures in excess of 1400
o
(2500 F) and a localized release of smoke. These materials are not explosive. Ignition temperatures are in excess of 900
o
(1650 F) for welding material.
H. Adhering to the ERICO CADWELD PLUS welding procedures will minimize risk of burns and fire caused by hot molten
material spillage. In case of fire, use of water or CO
in controlling a fire should the exothermic materials become involved. Water should be applied from a distance.
