Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation and possible burns. 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
Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.Causes redness and pain. May cause chemical
conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Chronic Exposure: This product contains a component that has been reported to be possibly
carcinogenic based on its IARC, ACGIH, NTP or EPA classification.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Skin contact can cause an allergic skin rash in
previously sensitized individuals.

4. First AidMeasures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Seek medical attention if cough or other symptoms appear
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water and give 2-4 cups of milk or
water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact: Flush with copious amounts of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting
lower and upper eyelids. Seek medical attention immediately.

5. Fire FightingMeasures
Fire: nonflammable particle. Any very finely divided particles (ultra-fine powder) may burn in air
when exposed to heat or flame.
Pyrophoric/Autoignition: No
Explosion: This material presents no explosive hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder or sand – do not use water, carbon dioxide or
foam.Dousing metallic fires with water may generate hydrogen gas, an extremely dangerous
explosion hazard,particularly if fire is in a confined environment..
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.
Specific Hazard(s): Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
NFPA Ratings: Health: 3, Flammability: 0, Reactivity: 0

6. Accidental ReleaseMeasures
In case of a leak or spill, evacuate area, shut off all sources of ignition and use nonsparking
tools. Wear NIOSH approved respirator, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves. Wear
disposable coveralls and discard after use. Sweep up the spill, place in a bag and hold for
waste disposal. Avoid raising dust. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pick-up is
complete.

7. Handling and Storage

Nickel PowderMSDS 3
Do not inhale powder. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated
exposure. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep in a tightly closed container, away from heat,
sparks, electrostatic discharge and open flame. Store in a cool, dry place. Isolate from
incompatible substances. 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

8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) 1 mg/m3 (TWA)
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) 1.5 mg/m3 (TWA), inhalable fraction
- NIOSH Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) 0.015mg/m3 (TWA)
- NIOSH Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentration (IDLH) 10 mg/m3 (as Ni)
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 emission of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area.
Respiratory Protection Equipment: Respirators may be necessary when engineering and
administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures. Currently, there are no specific
exposure limits for airborne exposures to engineered nano particles although occupational
exposure limits exist for larger particles of similar chemical composition. The decision to use
respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity
information, exposure measurement data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker’s
exposure. Preliminary evidence shows that for respiration filtration media there is no deviation
from the classical single-fiber theory for particulates as small as 2.5 nm in diameter. While this
evidence needs confirmation, NIOSH certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers
from nano particles inhalation when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete
respiratory protection program. Use NIOSH approved positive flow mask if dust becomes
airborne. Try to avoid creating dust conditions.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. Maintain
quick-drench facilities in work area.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing
of solution is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain in work area.
