Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL :IARC GROUP 2B;NTP GROUP 2
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: SENSIT RESULTING IN ALLERGIC SKIN
RASHES. NICKEL POWDER & NICKEL OXIDE HAVE CAUSED TUMORS AT SITE OF
INJECTION IN RODENTS. HOWEVER, STUDIES OF NICKEL-CNTNING PROSTHESES
DO NOT SUGGEST A SIGN IFICANT RISK HUMANS. INGEST: NICKEL METAL &
NICKEL OXIDE HAVE LOW ORAL TOX.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SENSITIZED INDIVIDUALS MAY
EXPERIENCE AN ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION.

First Aid:SKIN: SEEK MED ATTN. CLEANSE WOUNDS THORO TO REMOVE ANY
NICKEL PARTICLES. IF EXPOS TO NICKEL CARBONYL IS SUSPECTED, CONTACT
MD IMMED. EYES: IMMED FLUSH WITH POTABLE WATER FOR A 15 MINUTES.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT A FIRE/EXPLOS HAZARD BY ITSELF, BUT
METAL POWDERS HEAT TREATED IN REDUCING ATMOSPHERES MAY BECOME
PYROPHORIC.

Spill Release Procedures:COLLECT SPILL BY WET SWEEPING/BY VACUUMING
W/VACUUM EXHST PASSING THRU A HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE ARRESTING
(HEPA) FILTER IF EXHST IS DISCHARGED INTO WORKPLACE. WEAR APPROP
NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD RESPS IF COLLECTION & DISP OF SPILLS IS
LIKELY(SUPPDATA)

Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT INHAL PWDR. KEEP CNTNR CLSD
WHEN NOT IN USE. VENT IS NORMALLY REQD WHEN HNDLG/USING THIS PROD
TO KEEP EXPOS TO AIRBORNE NICKEL BELOW(SUPP DATA)
Other Precautions:DO NOT STORE NEAR ACIDS/REACT SUBS. LIKE OTHER
METALS, NICKEL CAN REACT W/ACIDS TO LIBERATE HYDROGEN GAS WHICH CAN
FORM EXPLOS MIX IN AIR. LIKE OTHER METAL PWDRS, NICKEL PWDR CAN
REACT EXPLO/INCANDESC ENTLY W/SUBSTANCES SUCH AS (SUPP DATA)

Respiratory Protection:IF VENTILATION ALONE CANNOT CONTROL EXPOSURE
BELOW THE PEL, USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR SELECTED
ACCORDING TO OSHA 29 CFR. 1910.134.
Ventilation:VENT IS NORMALLY REQD WHEN HNDLG/USING PROD TO KEEP EXPOS
TO AIRBORNE NI Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH SKIN THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. LAUNDER
CLOTHING AND GLOVES AS NEEDED.
Supplemental Safety and Health
SPILL PROC: TO CAUSE CONC OF AIRBORNE NICKEL TO EXCEED PEL. HNDLG/STOR:
THE PEL. IF VENT ALONE CANNOT SO CONTROL EXPOS, USE NIOSH/MSHA
