16 September 2005 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Classified as hazardous according to the criteria of NOHSC Identification Product Names: Multicore Lead-Free Solder Wires Containing the Crystal series of Fluxes. Multicore Crystal flux cored Lead-Free solder wire is identified by the alloy and flux codes shown below. The flux code can be found under the word Type on the label. Alloy: 96S, 99C, 96SC Flux Type: Crystal 400, 502, 505, and 511. Note the wire diameter and the pack size do not affect the safety properties of the wire. Other Names: Not relevant UN Number: None allocated Dangerous Goods Class and Subsidiary Risk: None Hazchem Code: None allocated Poisons Schedule Number: None allocated Use: Flux Use 400 Halide-free activated flux. Produces clear residues. 502 Halide activated, RA type flux (halide content 0.2%). Produces clear residues. 505 Halide activated, RA type flux (halide content 0.5%). Produces clear residues. 511 Halide activated, very active flux (halide content 1.1%). Produces clear residues. Lead-Free Crystal 400/502/505/511 - 1 - Prime Electronic Components P/L Physical Description/Properties Appearance: Silver white alloy wires.

Other Properties Reactivity: These solders are of low reactivity. Ingredients For alloy composition see above. The figures quoted are nominal concentrations. Refer to the appropriate specification for the permitted levels of impurities. The wires may contain up to 1.2% of flux. The fluxes are based on modified rosins and these are the main components Dependent upon the flux type fluxes may also contain aliphatic amine hydrochlorides or hydrobromides, or carboxylic acids, as activators. Health Hazard Information Health Effects Acute Swallowed: It is not expected that these products will give any adverse effects. Eye: Flux fumes produced during soldering may irritate the eyes. Skin: Flux fumes may irritate the skin. Inhalation: The flux fumes produced during reflow will irritate the nose and throat. Lead-Free Crystal 400/502/505/511 - 2 - Prime Electronic Components P/L
