3. Hazards Identification
CAUTION: Product in its paste form is safe to use with good safety and industrial hygiene practices during handling and
designated use. If this product is reduced to a dust form, DO NOT inhale any of the dust as it contains nickel, which is a possible
carcinogen to humans.
Likely Routes of Exposure: Skin contact and inhalation.
Potential Health Effects:
Eye Hazards ?Contact may cause discomfort to the eyes leading to irritation or burning sensation, redness and swelling of the
conjunctiva.
Skin Hazards ?None toxic to skin. Prolonged and intimate contact with metallic nickel may cause irritation to the skin and nickel
sensitivity, which may result in allergic skin rashes.
Ingestion Hazards ?Not applicable under normal conditions of use. Nickel in its inorganic compound is not considered a
carcinogen to humans by NIOSH and U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Inhalation hazards ?In its form (paste), product is not toxic. If product is reduced to a dust form, the presence of nickel may be
carcinogenic to humans.
4. First Aid Measures
Eye: Immediately flush eye thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes to remove particles. Remove contact lenses (if
applicable).
Skin: Wash with mild soap and plenty of water. Seek medical treatment if irritation (redness, rash, swelling) develops.
Ingestion: Not known. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious victim. Consult a physician or poison control center
Inhalation (of dust): Leave area immediately. Seek medical attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: None.
Fire And Explosion Hazards: No fire or explosion hazard. May evolve irritating and toxic decomposition under fire conditions.
Extinguishing Media: Use the appropriate extinguishing media for the surrounding fire, such as water, carbon dioxide, and dry
chemical foam.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including self contained breathing apparatus.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Use exposure control and appropriate personal protect equipment (See Section 8).
Maintain proper ventilation.
Contain and/or absorb spill with inert material such as paper towels, sand and vermiculite.
Pick up released product with appropriate implements and place in container for disposal.
Dispose of in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations.
7. Handling And Storage
Handling And Storage Precautions
Use exposure control and appropriate personal protect equipment (See Section 8).
Keep away from acids or reactive substances. Nickel reacts with acids to liberate hydrogen gas which can form explosive
mixture in air.
For industrial use only, keep out of reach of children.
Handle in compliance with normal hygienic practices.
8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Personal Protective Equipment: Use NIOSH/MSHA respirator when necessary.
Skin Protection: Avoid repeated skin contact. Wear suitable gloves. Wash skin thoroughly after handling. Launder clothing and
gloves as needed.
Respiratory Protection: General room ventilation is normally adequate. No respirator required under normal conditions of use.
