Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Spontaneously flammable in air. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect. May cause sensitization by skin contact.Cancer suspect agent.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause severe irritation and possible burns. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes "nickel itch" which is a dermatitis resulting from sensitization to nickel, which is characterized by skin eruptions, followed by discrete ulcers that may discharge and become crusted, or by eczema. May cause sensitization by skin contact.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and increased white blood cell count. Inhalation of a mist of this material may cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause anosmia (loss of smell).
Breathing Nickel (Dust and Fume) can cause a sore or hole in the "bone" (septum) dividing the inner nose.
Chronic:
Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization dermatitis and possible destruction and/or ulceration. Chronic inhalation of fine dusts may cause lung damage. Chronic inhalation may cause pulmonary fibrosis. Repeated inhalation may cause perforation of the nasal septum.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
Material is easily ignited if allowed to dry. May burn with invisible flame. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Spontaneously ignitable in air. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry sand, Met-L-X powder, or G-1 graphite powder. Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. DO NOT USE WATER, CO2, OR FOAM DIRECTLY ON FIRE ITSELF.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal.
Carefully scoop up and place into appropriate disposal container.
Isolate area and deny entry. Place under an inert atmosphere. Do not use combustible materials such as paper towels to clean up spill.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Material can ignite if dry.
Do not allow material to completely dry. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area. Keep containers tightly closed. Do not expose to air. Store under an inert atmosphere.
