| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | May cause sensitization by skin contact. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect (IARC 2B). Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. Possible risk of irreversible effects. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Inhalation, ingestion, skin, eyes |
| Eye Contact: | May cause mild to moderate irritation of the eyes |
| Skin Contact: | May cause mild to moderate irritation of the skin. May cause sensitization by skin contact. |
| Inhalation: | Dust is irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. May be harmful to lungs. |
| Ingestion: | Repeated ingestion of nickel has produced fibrosis of the lungs and thorax in animal studies. May cause vomiting and diarrhea |
| Acute Health Effects: | May be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by skin contact. |

| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). |
| SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures | |
|---|---|
| Flash Point: | no data |
| Autoignition Temperature: | no data |
| Explosion Limits: | no data |
| Extinguishing Medium: | Sand, powder, salt, or foam |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | If involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. |
| Hazardous Combustion and Decomposion Products: | If involved in a fire this material may emit toxic and irritating fumes. |
| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Pyrophoric. Spontaneously flammable in air or if wetted with alcohols or related organics. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | The material is spontaneously flammable in air. Burning material will release toxic fumes. In case of poor ventilation, leave the area unless fitted with a self-contained breathing apparatus. Small spills can be mixed with ground limestone, sodium bicarbonate or other suitable absorbents, swept up and held in a closed metal can. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store in a tightly sealed container under an inert atmosphere of dry nitrogen or argon. Keep away from heat. Material should be transferred under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen or argon in an efficient fume hood. Fire may occur in emptied container. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear protective clothing and flame proof insulated gloves. |
| Ventilation: | If possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If ventilation is not available, a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respiratory Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | Wear a full face shield and flame resistant lab apron. |
