Material Safety Data Sheet

This MSDS covers the Copper Based and Ferrous Based Leadframes supplied by XXX Pte Ltd.
Leadframes are non-hazardous in their as-shipped form.
Under normal processing or assembly hazardous dust or fumes are unlikely to be generated.
However, incorrect handling of the product or production scrap may lead to injuries. Operation such
as trimming may create hazards to eyes or skin from flying particles of the said operation.

3. Health Hazards

This product creates no health hazards in their as-shipped form. However, operations producing dust
or flumes cause health hazards by airborne particles of metal or metal oxides. Avoid over-exposure by
using protection equipment.

Route Effects
Inhalation Health hazard is normally not expected to occur.
Metallic taste, dryness of throat, sneezing,
respiratory tract irritation, mixed
pneumoconiosis, chills, metal fume fever,
shortness of breath, chest-pain, weakness, fatigue,
cough, muscle and joint pain
Ingestion Health hazard is normally not expected to occur.
However, in case of accidental ingestion of
crystallized Copper Salts or their solutions,
symptoms of poisoning, such as nausea and
vomiting will results.
Eye contact Mechanical irritation
Skin contact Health hazard is not expected to occur. May
cause allergic reactions in some individuals

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation Remove to fresh air in case of accidental

inhalation of dust. Get medical attention
Ingestion Drink water or milk. Induce vomiting. Get
medical attention.
