Ingestion:
Rinse mouth thoroughly. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Inhalation:
Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin contact:
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. If skin irritation or an allergic skin reaction develops, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Eye contact:
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Fire:
Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion:
Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with
full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills:
Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust
dispersal.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Wear
special protective equipment (Sec. 8) for maintenance break-in or where exposures may exceed established
exposure levels. Wash hands, face, forearms and neck when exiting restricted areas. Shower, dispose of outer
clothing, change to clean garments at the end of the day. Avoid cross-contamination of street clothes. Wash
hands before eating and do not eat, drink, or smoke in workplace. Containers of this material may be hazardous
when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the
product.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Airborne Exposure Limits:
For Nickel, Metal and Insoluble Compounds, as Ni:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) -
1 mg/m3 (TWA).
For Nickel, Elemental / Metal:
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) -
1.5 mg/m3 (TWA), A5 - Not suspected as a human carcinogen.
For Nickel, Insoluble Compounds, as Ni:
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) -
0.2 mg/m3 (TWA), A1 - Confirmed human carcinogen
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne
Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH
document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate respirator
(NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use
concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A
full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit,
or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type
R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to
prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain
eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
